[HOW TO - vB4] How add sub-menu drop down to the navbar (tab Forum)

[Da-Vinci]

Could anybody point me in the right direction of getting this effect?

[Mustiii]

I addet this but the Problem is that it is shown if i click on the "Forum" Button. I addet a "Portal"-Button. How can i make that it appears there and not by the Forum Button?

This artilce is about adding the sub-menus, not the navtabs. You need to have the correct condition around your navtab to show it at the correct place. You should ask your question in the modification thread that you use for the navtab.

[Mustiii]

But this has nothing to do with the modification, because i am sure many persons want to add sub-menus as example under the standard buttons like "whats new" and the "blog" and not only by the "forum" button so the question is how to specify that

[Lynne]

And if you wrote the navtab correctly, then you would have the submenus showing. I have an article in my profile on how to correctly write a plugin to create a navtab with submenus.

Thank you very much Lynne your article was the perfect description to solve my problem. Only thing i still need is to know how to translate (add Phrases) to this new buttons. Because i am using a multilingual Forum

Instead of putting text for the links:

<a href="link.php">My Link</a>

Use phrases (you will need to enter them into the phrase manager as global phrases):

<a href="link.php">$vbphrase[my_link]</a>

Thank you i addet all the submenus i needet. Only two are making me problems

1. The "Who's Online" Menu. I get this Error Message showing if i write it like that

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /www/htdocs/w00d3776/vbulletin/includes/class_bootstrap.php(537) : eval()'d code on line 84

If i write it like Whos Online without ' it makes no problems but why cant i write it like in the Original way?

2. The "Open Contacts Popup"

If i add the code like this

<li><a onclick="window.open(getBaseUrl() + 'misc.php?do=buddylist&amp;focus=1','buddylist','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=250,height=300'); return false;" href="javascript://">Open Contacts Popup</a></li>

i get this error message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /www/htdocs/w00d3776/vbulletin/includes/class_bootstrap.php(537) : eval()'d code on line 82

hope that a solution for this problems exists thanks for any help

If you are writing this in php output, you need to escape the character if that is what you have surrounding the output - \'

[Mustiii]

I am not sure how to do that i think i can solve the first problem with writing Whos Online and add the correct writing to phrases but i am not sure how to change the Open contacts popup to make it work
