--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

The developer of this mod really needs to post this in the vb3.8x section.

I also agree this needs to be standard built into VB!

I will have to upgrade my test board and then test this on 3.8.1. If this no longer works then I can no way in hell upgrade a live board!

Yo developer please can you come back to life here and update this mod!

I was just wondering if Advanced Navbar could be duplicated in another navbar such as the navbar2? (Another vbulletin.org hack) Is there a way to make an additional navbar with your product built in?)

I tried renaming file name and also editing "navbar" statement within your xml file to "navbar2." When I went to navbar2 template to do editing and I realized that navbar2 is not an exact copy of original navbar template.

The editing for each drop down menu item in Navbar2 template is time consuming. Is there a way to make another navbar that is completely open to adding different drop downs etcetra using Advanced Navabar?

Thanks for your prompt reply,

TC Topps

P.S. I installed standard Advanced Navbar into default vBulletin style. In vB3.8 it works and makes a drop down too.

I tried the global variable statements. It made no difference. When I am inside of an VbAdvanced dynamics or links program, if I decide to go to another location on the navbar it gives me a blank browser page with a 404 statement.

Some of the links from with in Dynamics program will work. But others do not. Project Tools does but VbBlog does not. CMPS portal does. Now it seems that CMPS pages that I have made to be wrapped will work the others do not.

So my question is why is the dynamics program directory looking for the blog file inside of dynamics directory and not its proper location inside of the forums directory. I have made the proper forum location statment inside of dyna config.php file.

So can you help me get your fine navbar addition to work. I have 3.1 CMPS, Dynamics 1.1, Vb 3.8. installed

Thanks

Hello;

Is this a normal experience. I have found out that these programs from Vbadvanced are in different tables. That I believe means that they can not be queried across table. Is that true?

So as a result that is why I am having the problem with navigation?

If that is the case they are just stand alone programs that need to be accessed differently when using aspects of dynamics and links.

Can someone help me with my conclusions please? I would appreciated it.

Thanks

This seems to work ok on 3.81 but parts of admin are missing but still useable

[terminator2k2]

what about vb3.8.2? or is it not working with both 3.8.1 and 3.8.2?
