Additional navbar with dropdowns · **Released**: 12-25-2007

After upgrading and supporting my 3.0.0 and 3.5.3 version of this hack, I have decided it was time to step into the plugin world to make this easier for people to use.

Despite what category this is in it works with vBulletin 3.0 up to the most recent version of 3.8.

What this does is create another navbar with drop down menus by typing $navbar2 in any of your templates. It is just like the navbar that comes with VB.

I put a lot of description tags in the navbar2 template that gets installed to help explain what everything does. Once you understand what is going on here you can removed these. With very little modifications you can add to, remove or move items around in this additional navbar.

Upgrade
To upgrade you will want to reimport this XML file and edit your options accordingly.

1.02

Tweak it a bit to get the border on the top of the navbar. There was not boarder on the top of the navbar in the previous version. It was not really noticeable unless you have the navbar directly below the header area.

1.01

removed the plugin with the Hook "parse_templates" because it was not need.
Added plugin with the Hook ?global_start?, this will work with, PhotoPlog, vBAdvanced, Arcade. This will alleviate having to manually add code in the php files as was required in the past.

1.00

Initial release.

To install the this
1. Download the zipped file.

2. Unzip the file.

3. Import the product-navbar2.xml into your Plugins & Products? Manage Plugins.

4. Next you will have to decide where you want the navbar2 to be displayed. I have included a few options below.

5A. Under current (original) Navigation bar:
Find:

Code:

<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

Below that place:

Code:

$navbar2

5B. On top of forums tables:
Find:

Code:

<!-- / PAGENAV POPUP -->
</if>

Below that place:

Code:

$navbar2

5C. Top of current navbar:
Find:

Code:

<br />
<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

Above that add:

Code:

$navbar2

5D. Under your header:
Find:

Code:

<br />
<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

Below that add:

Code:

$navbar2

5E. Under VB navbar:
Find:

Code:

<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

Below that add:

Code:

$navbar2

Note:
This should now work with vBAdvance CMPS, Arcade, PhotoPlog with no other modifications. Many thanks to Mike-D for his help with this.

Nice mod

***installed***

One quick question: How do you make the dropdown into two columns instead of one as my dropdown list is rather long.

Hi Guys,

a little question from me - maybe I am too tired for that shit so I have to bore you.

What if I want to add a Link which is NOT going to my forum... so e.g. (just an example) - what if my forum lies on the domain http://forum.sturume-veld.at and I want to have a Link to
www.sturume-veld.at how can I make this ?

Because when I just change the Link to "www.sturume-veld.at" and I click on it, I am forwarded to the Page "http://forum.sturume-veld.at/www.sturume-veld.at" and this is not existing.

Plz help

Aresetyr

edit: Ok it was too early in the morning - sorry guys.. I just had to add a "http://" in front of my link to get an external Link...

Anyone having problems with XHTML validation?

Mine fails when using navbar 2, but I can't for the life of me, figure out why

It says- Line 38, Column 1126: end tag for "tr" which is not finished .

This is my navbar2 template

Code:

<div class="tborder" style="padding:$stylevar[cellspacing]px; border-top-width:0px">
	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
        <if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">
        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$admincpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">AdminCP</a></td>
        </if>
        <if condition="$show['member']"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="misc.php?do=topposters">Top Posters</a></td>
        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="view.php?pg=info_forumrules"><b>Rules/Donate</b></a>
</td>
</if>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

Perfect Thanks A Lot :up:

Is there any different between:

Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 12)">

And

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 12">

Go to your header template and find:

After that put:
$navbar2

I tried this and I get nothing displayed, source code of page is blank where I enter this code.

But if I move the "$navbar2" to the other positions in the instructions it does work and it comes up perfect.

How can I diagnose the problem?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
