Author: Andrew Harmor
Version: 2.0.2
File Edits: 0
Template Edits: 2
Difficulty: Easy


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.

custom_singlelinks
custom_droplinks
custom_droplinks_cat

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

Does it work well with 3.7 Beta 5??

[Phaedrus]

Crap I tried upgrading but keep getting an error with the xml file...

Invalid SQL:
CREATE TABLE `custom_droplinks` (
  `linkid` mediumint(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `url` varchar(120) NOT NULL default '',
  `name` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `new_window` tinyint(2) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  `alt` varchar(60) NOT NULL default '',
  `number` int(20) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  `image` varchar(230) NOT NULL default '',
  `link_perms` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`linkid`)
);;

Now I won't be able to add anything because the files we upload change how it works too....

*sigh*

What is up with this?

[Phaedrus]

I had to uninstall the old version before I could load this one. It worked after the uninstall...

Does it work on 3.7 RC2? or something similar to this mod exist for 3.7?

I'm running on 3.7 RC3 and it's working fine for me.

[RedTrinity]

I seem to be having problems running this on my new 3.7 VBlueize template... still have all the info in the ACP from previously, yet when I added the fields to this new template, the dropdowns don't seem to work

The menu links for this add-on are listed on the navbar, but they don't do anything when you click on them.

Would appreciate some help

ETA: Nevermind, I forgot to add the $custom_droplinks at the end
