put $navbar_bottom under $navbar

[LauraFL]

I did that, but its not showing up. Which template should I do that in? Maybe I'm doing it in the wrong place?

[peterska2]

do it in showthread and I'll put together an extra bit to the plugin to show it on forumhome and forumdisplay. It won't be till tomorrow though as I'm getting ready to go to bed now and I'll more than likely make a mistake and end up making a complete hash of it if I do it now.

Thanks

Updated to version 1.0.2

To upgrade reinstall product overwriting the existing one.

Nice hack....will click install as soon as I can get rid of the double arrow next to quicklinks and search....does not show up on index.php but everywhere else it does...see attached picture....

Nice
Made this myself on the 3.0 forum, but it's very much easier to implement this hack than figure it out again for myself

Got the same thing.
But only in IE, not in Firefox. And only on pages that show the bottom navbar (threads that is).
If you find a solution, please post it here

[peterska2]

Got it.

In the template navbar_bottom

FIND

<td id="navbar_search" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search"); </script></td>

REPLACE WITH

<td id="navbar_search2" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search2"); </script></td>

FIND

<td id="usercptools" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools">$vbphrase[quick_links]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercptools"); </script></td>

REPLACE WITH

<td id="usercptools2" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools2">$vbphrase[quick_links]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercptools2"); </script></td>

FIND

<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
	<!-- header quick search form -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search_menu" style="display:none">

REPLACE WITH

<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
	<!-- header quick search form -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search2_menu" style="display:none">

FIND

<if condition="$show['member']">
	<!-- user cp tools menu -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercptools_menu" style="display:none">

REPLACE WITH

<if condition="$show['member']">
	<!-- user cp tools menu -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercptools2_menu" style="display:none">

I've just been testing it and it works fine on IE on my site.

A word of advice, if you want to add any other dropdown menus to the bottom navbar, make sure they have a different ID to those in the main navbar otherwise this duplication will occur again.


I'll update the plugin and get it re-released later (probably tomorrow).
