Fantastic! That worked!

Not sure that I'm too wild about the look of the down arrow in the tab though. Any easy way to get rid of that?

Go into your css templates and look for the css template "navbar_tabs_enhanced"
Then search for: url(images/misc/arrow.png) no-repeat right center
and delete it. Be careful only to delete what I mentioned.
If you are not sure make a backup from the whole file before editing it.

This way the arrow won't show up anymore

Thanks!

I decided to live with for a few days to see if I liked it or not and it's grown on me enough to where I won't change it.

I was able to just manually fix these. One thing I can't fix, however, it the Quick Links>Open Contact Popup drop down menu. It adds http://megomuseum.com in front of the javascript. When I edit Open Contacts Popup, however, the "http://megomuseum.com" isn't there, so I can't simply delete it. I have no clue how to fix this. When I click Open Contacts Popup from the forums, it tried to go here:

http://megomuseum.com/javascript://w...eturn%20false;

and of course just gives an error. I have no clue whatsoever how to fix this.

I'm having this same problem with the Contacts Popout link breaking when clicked on. Has there been a fix yet?

Hi.
Great Mod. I have one problem.
Created Button - "Home Decor" for sub-section in CMS. Is highlighted and works. I have added Category Widget to Sub-section. Clicking on category - I'm not under created button (TAB). I'm under main section Button (Tab) - img2. Is there a way to fix it? No problems with "Section" widget.

Hello Andreas, I read and reread before writing here, but I have not figured out how to show the dropdown menu:
1. From the navigation manager, I created various TABs (which are displayed without problems in navbar)
2. Edit one by one the tabs and drop-down menu I select ADD LINK, and then I create the items in the dropdown menu. (all active course)
3. I'm going back home to see the result and no dropdown menu

I state that I vbulletin 4.2 with p.l.2

Example of Navigation Tabs I have on forum:

TAB 1 (tab)
- Item 1 (link)
- Item 2 (link)
TAB 2 (tab)
- Item 3 (link)
- Item 4 (link)

thanks

It was a little confusing for myself also but you have to do the following:

Create your MAIN tab (the one that will be visible in the navbar)
Once done select add a MENU from the drop down in the settings of the MAIN tab
Create the Menu. Just give it a name and select the name of the MAIN tab in the "parent" option.
Add your links to the MENU you just created by selecting it in the PARENT options in the links setting page.
When all done go back into the MAIN tab by selecting EDIT and then in the options select the Menu you created where it says: Tab Menu - Select the Dropdown Menu for this tab here. -
The selected Menu will not be displayed as a dropdown menu when the tab is being clicked.

Now your MAIN tab will show as a drop down

Thank you very much, I think I lost myself in some way.
By any chance do you know how to set the mouseover instead of clickable?

I am not seeing the part "When all done go back into the MAIN tab by selecting EDIT and then in the options select the Menu you created where it says: Tab Menu - Select the Dropdown Menu for this tab here. -
"

What am I doing wrong?

Never mind. I reinstalled with the other XML file and it works now. Don't use the XML file that is seperate from the zip file.
Thanks!
