Mini Mods - Dynamic Navbarlinks

Idea by Ragtek
I only added support for dhtml menu and side selection.

What does it do:
Over your vBulletin Optionen you can create links for the navbar (single or dhtml) without changing any template (you can not use phrases).

Installation:
1st upload the php - then simply import the product.
After import 3 new links were created (the example from image no.2).

Requirements:
2 template_hooks:

$template_hook[navbar_start] (in vB 3.8 it's called: navbar_buttons_right)
$template_hook[navbar_end] (in vB 3.8 it's called: navbar_buttons_left)

If one of these HOOKs missing, the links could not be shown.

(Tested on vB4 Beta 3)

[28.11.2009]
Upgrade to version v1.5.
What's new ?
Usergrouppermissions and template_hooks.

You can leave the "old" structure. This will have no effect on the navbar. But ... if you like add to a line or menue:
|2,3,4|navbar_start

This little example means, that the link or menue is only visible for the primary usergroups 2,3 and 4. The Template Hook we're using is "navbar_start".
If you leave the usergroup(s) blank, permission for ALL groups are given.

Some words again:
If you are using a template_hook, the side isn't in use. If you leave the template_hook blank, default hook is "navbar_start" or "navbar_end" depended on the "side". Hook's are in Beta Stage. Normaly, it won't work with CMS.
If you really need it, change the Hook Location from "global_setup_complete" to "global_bootstrap_init_complete". Remember: With this location you can't use phrases.

Do you need a translation ?

Thank you for update.

Do you mean that if template_hook STR were define, this would be show on the Navtab?

Will you show the example of template_hook?

Ok - same example as before.

orginal (template_hook = navbar_end):

PHP Code:

1|0|0|1|test.php|Test 1|1|0|0 


with template_hook:

PHP Code:

1|0|0|1|test.php|Test 1|1|0|0||vbcms_navbar_start 


For CMS you have to change the hook_location to: global_bootstrap_init_complete

And remember: This function is in beta stage.

Well, however under vbcms_navbar_start with global_bootstrap_init_complete, the alignment to where side is not effected.

I hope this menu product could be cover up the Nav Tab Menu System with it's subordinate template. Excellent!

See the 1st post.

Hello Coroner,

I have a problem, according to my settings I see 2 identical links
I use this code:

1|0|0|1|arcade.php|Spielhalle|1|0|0 (or 1|0|0|1|arcade.php|Spielhalle|1|0)
6|0|0|1|forumdisplay.php?f=142|LdG|1|0|0
2|1|0|1||SHG's|1|0|0
3|0|2|2|forumdisplay.php?f=13|SHG-Sucht|1|0|0
4|0|2|3|forumdisplay.php?f=12|SHG-DeBoSvv|1|0|0
5|0|2|4|forumdisplay.php?f=120|SHG-MB|1|0|0

And then comes:
Attachment 107114

What is wrong?

Have you tried:

1|0|0|1|arcade.php|Spielhalle|1|0|0

I don't know, why you insert or 1|0|0|1|arcade.php|Spielhalle|1|0) ? But I think, that's a mistake by copying.

god

[Coroner]

I've tested you're 1st example and ... yes, you're right. I've got 2 "spielhalle" links.

Try this one:

1|0|0|1|arcade.php|Spielhalle|1|0|0
2|1|0|1||SHG's|1|0|0
3|0|2|2|forumdisplay.php?f=13|SHG-Sucht|1|0|0
4|0|2|3|forumdisplay.php?f=12|SHG-DeBoSvv|1|0|0
5|0|2|4|forumdisplay.php?f=120|SHG-MB|1|0|0
6|0|0|1|forumdisplay.php?f=142|LdG|1|0|0
