I am scratching my head.

I added in the above position using the no template added addon.

For me now the Quick Links and Search will not drop in on the ForumHome or Thread but works of Forums and SubForums. But for my co Admin all work fine.

We both Run XP up to date.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Im sorry I don't support that mod, you'll have to speak to the Add-On creator.

I am not pressing you, but curious rather... Do you have an estimated time of arrival on that particular aspect of the mod?

BTW I have the option to _blank in, by default it was set to _parent, but _blank is not working like the changes are not taking effect. Anyone find a way through this? We would really hate to lose our members, they get lost easily and we prefer not using redirect scripts if we don't have to do all the extra work.

Thanks again for a great mod, I am installing today!

Thanks very much for your kind words
At the moment, unfortunatly work on the next version has been paused temporarily. As some of you may know, i'm currently working on http://www.vbdiscussion.com which will be a forum dedicated to the users of vBulletin, and for this I am currently making a custom tutorial modification for it and other such features. When the site has been finished, I will continue work on Menu Control

If you edit the template in the way I have mentioned HERE you can edit each link with different window settings, this may fix your problem

Thanks,

Marky

Sorry for not being clearer.

I installed your mod purely by your directions and had a complaint about this happening to others and found it was happening to me as well. That was in the below add position.

I moved it above and it cured it for some but not for me and the links kept appearing below. Doing the refresh on the templates and all.

So, I deleted the whole thing and it fixed it for everyone.

Then, since we needed it I added it back and used the no manual template change.

So far I am the only one the issue has returned for. But more might chime in.

My point is using purely your mod with it in the above position I am still getting the error and below I and some others got it.

But not everyone. Which is the confusing point.

That would seem to make it a PC or ISP related conflict with the mod I would think.

I don't have a clue on it and just wondered if anyone else has run into this.

I use XP and earthlink.

A real head scratcher for me.

A little more info.

I sent on site, logged in, and immediately tried Search and Quick Links. They dropped this time.

Tested down to post level and all worked.

Returned to ForumHome via the Forums Link in the Nav area and they stopped working at ForumHome and post level.

[CoreIssue]

One last and I will shut up.

I tried to repeat it and it was back to not working at all on Home regardless. I cleared caches and cookies also.

Whatever it is seems random.

What Happens if I only want to show 4 links not all 9, will the other 5 still show as link 1? or will they not be there.

Thanks

I use 8 of 9.

It seems to just add space to evenly distribute them across the bar.

[Hornstar]

Also i want one of the links to open in a new window and the rest to open in the same window, is this possible? if so how?

Thanks

You must replace the menu code with $menucontrol

Check out this post and replace the current code with that code

You can just leave the other links blank and the links that are active are - as CoreIssue correctly put it - evenly distributed across the bar
