Description:
You can add links or multiple menus to the navbar quickly through a form. Specify which usergroups can see each link via the permissions system.
F.A.Q. Q: Why aren't the links showing? A: Edit the link in your Admin CP and check the usergroup permissions
Q: All the links I made from the last version are gone A: 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.
Q: How do I get the links to appear on vBAdvanced? A: Go into your ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Default Settings
Look for "Portal Output Global Variables". Add the following into the text area.
If you install this mod please press the "Install" button.
--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

Uninstalled this hack and installed top navbar instead, because :
(1) This hack has a bug where when you try to update a link, nothing happens.
(2) Attempting to go back and re-set the permissions on links manually after adding a new usergroup is a tedious process.
(3) This hack lacks a default "let everyone see this link" option.
(4) This hack cannot add a second nav bar, so if you add a bunch of links, it causes the links to stretch off the page, which renders badly for visitors.
This hack works totally fine on my board and has saved me a lot of work.
Did the hack fail, or your did your ability to read instructions fail?
no. i read everything and this is not the first time i attempt on installing something like this. some of the lines that should be changed dont even exist...

Most mods are written for the default vbulletin templates and when you try installing on a customised one they fail to work right, I had the same problem on my own website.
I'll always install on the default style first then modify them to work with the customised ones. On my current style the navbar buttons are in a totally different template to the default style.
as well, I think this is quite easy to add new links however it adds links on the existing navbar of VB default navbar, I would like to apply this mode options to top nav bar as my existing nav bar is already getting clustered and I have plenty of room to add on my top nav bar which is on top of nav bar.
How to apply this mode options to create menu on the top navbar mode instead on the existing default navbar??
Doesnt work for me... When I checked the list of users able to access the link and saved it, after that I reload, the list of users are unchecked again.
