Yes, the latest version has issues running on anything above 4.2.0.

Beta 4 (the latest version) was released nearly 2 years ago (May 2012).

I believe this mod bugged my navbar.

I have different huge modification installed on my forums. Beside a forum it is also a place for tournaments/ladders etc. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=238945 this mod)

It has some different .php pages like competitions.php / teams.php / ladders.php etc. It used to show a sub navbar(bellow the huge one) with options/menus etc. However since the install of this mod I believe it got broken.

For example when I go to teams.php it shows the subnav bar from the forum (new posts / pms etc.). I found a fix but it only works for some pages. If I go to navigation manager then to the competition part. It gives a line called Tab Script(s) : by default only competitions was there.

Now I can fill in teams also in there and then teams works again, however it has a cap of 20 characters so can only fill in 3 items there. I have tried to rename the define as in the php scripts I need to like 1 2 3 etc. However that also didn't fix it.

Perhaps you know a way to fix this

That would be because this mod is not currently supported and will not work on any vB4 versions above 4.2.0.

Is there something similar that will allow for multiple nested menus, 2-level drop-down menus essentially, using the built-in navigation tools?

Open product-navmanager_enhancements.xml

Line: 319

AND state = " . NAV_PROTECTED . "

REMOVE THIS LINE!

Line 333

AND (state & " . NAV_PROTECTED . ")

REMOVE THIS LINE!

Import the product, Should work, works on mine, 4.2.2 Patch 2

Is it safe to remove those lines?

I've just installed the non beta version on 4.2.2 before reading the posts - and am yet to see any issues with it - it (in my case) works exactly as I hoped it would?

It seems !

It does its job once installed with this method

This mod has a huge bug. Sometimes it will make sub-menus and their links vanish.
When you set a menu under a tab to have other parents... that other parent tab will have its links vanish.
(I have Beta 4 installed)
THIS MOD NEEDS AN UPDATE TO WORK WITH vb4.2x
