Alt nav bar hack

Hi all

Well, here goes my first v2 hack

This hack will replace the linear nav bar (Board Title > Category > Forum > sub forum) nav bar with a cascading one, where the categories drop down and indent.

Unfortunately, this hack will only change the navbar that is generated by vB, it won't change the hard coded nav bars in pages like the member list/profile. I still have to figure out how to do that.

The hack is clunky, probably could be done in 4 lines of code instead of what I've done it in, and be cleaner, but I've tested it down to a depth of 6 and it seems to work clean, and that's all that matters right now

I'm working on changing the hard coded sections to use the CP flag, so that this can work on the site and change if the CP changes.

Installer file for latest version now at Post #41. If you have installed this before the timestamp of that post, you should be fine.

OK, I managed to get an installer together, so here is the current working release. If there's no more problems I'll stick it out into the general population and see how it does

Also dieser Hack Läuft überhaupt nicht.

Kann mir mal einer den Quelltext für die Temlate Posten?
Ich habe mir den Hack zwar runtergeladen aber beim Installieren wir nix angezeigt??

Ich hab den Hack auch eingebaut funzt aber nicht
genau nach Anleitung.
In der function.php alles schon ausprobiert.
Gibt es irgendwie einen anderere code für das vb2.2.1

Looks like a typo during the template installation.

In admin/functions.php change

eval("\$navbar = \"".gettemplate("navbaralt")."\";");

to

eval("\$navbar = \"".gettemplate("navaltbar")."\";");
