ok i have a problem here, I have made this and is working but having a class issue.

with certain non default skins the background is not right, when i remove the class=vbmenu_control part it displays correctly in non-default type skins but then messes up button background on default type skins(we have 4 installed 2 default type using class and 2 that are diff type, using no class).
Any help to fix this so it shows properly on all skins would be awesome!!

TIA,

Will

Well, I thought it would work. I haven't actually been able to get it to run on 3.6.8. I ended up customizing a small product that installs a navbar menu. I used this product and added this code in with it. I am still learning how to understand and write it from scratch, but I can go into more detail on the quick solution when I have time again. Probably this time tomorrow.

It doesn't have any global hooks. I suggest you do what I did too and either write a product for it, or use the method I described above. Another solution is to get TMS and you can apply your template mods globally. The only thing with that is I am running 3.6.8 and having problems with it so I don't use it. I just decided to write product/s instead that will install all of my mod related navbar links/menus quickly.

It shows the link on the navbar, but no little downarrow. And when you click it, the page reloads with the non-js navbar displayed.

I cant get it same problem!

Hi, I've just substitued all the YOURMENU (4 in navbar) with "Gallery".
And now it works. I don't know why, honestly

greetings

That works. Try it and see if it helps.

Im not getting a dropdown menu.

When i clink on NAME, it opens stuff in the nav bar link, mark forum as read, view buddy list. This has never been in there. This was in my Quick Links drop down menu.

Edit: Could it be a problem is im using 3.6.8?

Same here

I had all sorts of problems with it, ended up adding links into the "Quick Links" drop down menu as my Navbar was getting a bit cluttered.
I am using 3.5.8 as well.
