Anyone gotten this to work in 3.6.8 or know of other ways to add custom drop menus to the navbar? I have done everything but I think I am screwing up on the yourmenu YOURMENU replacement. I tried only replacing the capitalized YOURMENU and not the lower case one, but no good. The menu title shows up as a link, with no drop down menu or links. The link points to /forum/index.php?nojs=1#MYMENU instead of the intended address that I replaced LINK with: /forum/local_links.php?catid=1
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks~

Hi Tminus,
I've had your same problem.
I really don't know why everything were fixed once I changed all YOURMENU with another word.

Greetings

Stefano

Thanks Stefano. So edit just the capitalized YOURMENU or all yourmenus? I tried both in 3.6.8 and it didn't work. The only modification to navbar in the 3.6.8 release was just a redundant <div> tag removal, but I don't think that would make a difference. I am in no rush so I will try again and post my results. Any other suggestions would be helpful. Does anyone have this running on 3.6.8?

Hi, I've just substitued all the YOURMENU (4 in navbar) with "Gallery".
And now it works. I don't know why, honestly

greetings

Stefano

Ok, thanks. I will just try again, but you are running 3.6.8 right?

Stefano Virgill · #18 08-02-2007, 02:07 AM

Ops, sorry!
not yet.
Now is 3.6.7

It depends on where you place the code. Place it after the listing of the navbar listing you want. The directions are for register, but you can move it down by putting it after one of the other menus.

Thanks, but I'm moving this code everywhere and it is not fixing the problem, what to do please?
