Mini Mods - Navbar add-on's

This code is for a drop down menu coded for "RSS Feed Links" in the navbar with it's own navbar cell and a search box with radio buttons with the choose of Google and your own site.

Normally for vBulletin, you would place code in a few different places throughout the navbar template code for a drop down menu. I was able to condense all of the code into one block. It makes keeping track of, reading and debugging the code a lot easier to do.


You will have to do the following:
1) RSS feed features activated in "External Data Provider".
2) Add the Rss-Icon.png image to your "/forum/images/" directory.
3) Add your site address of your RSS Feed where "YOUR SITE RSS" is.
4) Add your site address where "YOUR SITE" is.
5) Add your site address for the search engine box code where "YOUR SITE engine" is. Do not add the "http://www.", only "sitename.something".


In Navbar template locate:

<!-- / login form -->
			
		</td>
		
	</if>	
	
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

<!-- nav buttons bar -->

Put code as indicated below:

<!-- / login form -->
			
		</td>
		
	</if>	
	
</tr>
Place Navbar add-on code here.
</table>
<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

<!-- nav buttons bar -->

I haven't figured out yet, but using the search engine feature like this hack does, may improve your stat with that serch engine........By hitting the search engine through your site?
Anyone know more about that kind of thing?
