Browse the table named "custom_droplinks". Change all the "catid's" with 0 to 1.

--Change Log--
1.0.0 - Initial Release

1.0.1 - took out the code that automatically added HTML to the navbar. I thought having it do it automatically was cool but can be annoying because you can't easily customize the class or placement

2.0.0 - Added the functionality to add multiple drop down menus

2.0.1 - Added missing table prefixes

i take that back...you cant add an image... whats the format? all this pratting around after getting all my links dev_nulled is annoying me... cheers

ahh you can't just add an image and go... you also have to choose who sees the link also... ok fair enough, i'll remember that for next time

actually does that mean that everytime you want to move a menu up or down you now have to reselect the usergroups?...

Yes. I could have done it differently but that would mean adding the code that generates the usergroups in multiple locations.

well it's very useful as it is... showing links to certain user groups is defiantly a good thing...

Thanks.

Were you able to find the links that you said were removed in the table "custom_droplinks"?
If so and you don't know how to edit make them reappear on the navbar just tell me and I'll write a guide. Actually I need to write a guide for this anyways.

I wrote this quickly.

Go into phpmyadmin and select your vbulletin database.
Browse the table named "custom_droplinks". Change all the "catid's" with 0 to 1.
Go into your ACP --> Advanced Navbar Links --> Modify/Delete The links should show up under the first category. You can edit the links from here and select a different category to place it in.

bla
bla
bla

[harmor19]

You mean separators? You can't do that in this version.

Definetly not - you have to add a GLOBAL Variable to your Hack like all other Hacks do - and by the Way - it worked before the Update.

[How-To] Get links to work in vBAdvanced.

Go into your ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Default Settings
Look for "Portal Output Global Variables". Add the following into the text area.

custom_singlelinks
custom_droplinks
custom_droplinks_cat

Just had quick look and you could put:

<tr><td class="thead">Whatever</td></tr> in the name on add a link if you want a seperator it does show up a small table error but nothing to worry about..... for me anyway... Just back things up

see under gallery and video demo menu
