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

yep - that is what I was saying - and the settings in vbadvanced are correct according to the install - each entry of global variables is on a new line.
