Mini Mods - Ajax Fisheye Menu

This modification was just something random that I adapted to vBulletin.. I will release it with the status of beta, and when it has been proven to be stable, I will update it...

Demo of fisheye effect:
Demo
Demo - Vbulletin Live example (slightly modified from original release)

Installation:
Step 1:
- Extract and Upload contents of the "upload" folder to your server

Step 2:
Admin CP> Plugins and Products> Manage Products> Add/Import Product> Import> product-ajax_fisheye_menu.xml

Step 3:
Admin CP> vBulletin Options> Ajax Fisheye Menu >
Change.... Path to 'fisheye' directory
Attachment 72006

Step 4:
- Add

$afm_menu

in whatever template you decide to show menu (most likely navbar or header template)

Step 5(skip if vBa CMPS is not installed):
If you have vBadvance CMPS installed, you will need to do the following in order for this to work on your homepage as well:
- Admin CP> vBa CMPS > Default Settings> Main Options>
- Under the 'Portal Output Global Variables' setting you will need to add "afm_menu"

Step 6:
- Now you will need to configure the menu entries.. open the 'afm_fisheye_menu' template under the 'Ajax Fisheye Menu' template group.
- To add new menu items just use the following format:

<a class="dock-item" href="#"><img src="fisheye/images/home.png" alt="home" /><span>Home</span></a>

To Update:
- Reupload contents of upload folder to forum root...
- Import new product XML file with the overwrite setting on

+ Added a couple necessary AdminCP options
--- Enable/Disable option
--- Path to fisheye directory option

There are other things in life more important than VB you know

If I use vb condition

<if condition="$show['member']">

to show some icons of the menu to only registered users, it won't work.

Any ideas how to make it work using vb condition? Thanks.

it worked this way for me to hide the staff room 4 example :

PHP Code:

 <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)">
      <a class="dock-item" href="http://yoursite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8"><img src="$vboptions[afm_path]/images/XTRD-divan_orange.png" alt="" /><span>Staff Room</span></a></if>
