At first i was gonna ignore this, (usually when i se a mod i dont understand, i just moveon)
And i dont want to be rude, but sure feel a troll comeing up..

But since you have plenty of room on your site..

Many sites have limited width and therefor also a limited space
for main buttons/links. And considering that it would be better
using the space for links suited for the specifik site..

Hence removeing the button.

IN SHORT
if you dont understand it, ITS NOT DESIGNED FOR YOU!!

Appreciate the clarification and feedback ...

THANK YOU .... this worked perfectly. Tried several different pluggins and this was the best. Simple and does what it says.

Preech · #27 06-14-2010, 07:53 PM

Thank you. Worked with no problems.

Thank you for this.

Also, to keep the sub nav buttons under the Forum tab (even when on Search.php)

Go to the NAVBAR template...Search for:

Code:

{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_start}

and just below you will see:

Code:

<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search'">

Remove:

Code:

 AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search'

So you are left with

Code:

{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_start}
<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab']">

For me, it was wasted clicks and inconsistent design.

IMO, the navbar tabs show you what section you are in. If you are on the home tab it should be home pages...if you are on forum pages you should be on the forum tab. It is inconsistent to have 2 tabs for the forums. Also, there are different options available under whats new and forum so you have to click back and forth to get to the option you want.

For example if you click "new posts" it automatically takes you to the "what's new" tab but if you wanted to see who is online next you would have to click back to forum tab then who is online.

If you do the quick edit I posted above in combination with this authors mod then every page of the forum you will always be on the forum tab and always have the same navigation options.

It makes way more since, is more consistent and saves users clicks and frustration

Perfect. Many thanks.
