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.

I just got done looking at the code you posted.

You stated that you want to move the vBExperience link from you navbar 1 to you navbar 2. I do not see any vBExperience link or code in the code that you posted so I can not tell you what could to move. If you have the whole template code for you navbar 1 then send me a pm and I will send you my email address and you can send me it in a text attachment.

Code:

Odd, mine does the exact same thing. Seems too simple to mess up.

Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks!

I think what you are doing is putting it under this one:

Code:

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

When it should be under this one:

Code:

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

There is a difference.
