Forum Display Enhancements - Admin and Mod Toolbar in Navbar

Description
(Please Note that Version 2.5 has been released!)
(Arabic Translation added! (Credits to Daniel_HBK!)

This is a template modification that will add an "Admin Toolbar" to the navbar if you are an administrator, and a "Mod Toolbar" to the navbar if you are a Mod/Super Mod.

Other usergroups Can Not! see these toolbars!

New! Administrators/Moderators only see links to tools they have permission to use!

Each Toolbar is a dropdown menu with shortcuts to the Admin/Mod panel, and frequently used tools within the Admin/Mod Panel.



By Default, these are the shortcut in each Toolbar:

Administrators

• Admin Panel Home
• Vbulletin Options
• Style Manager
• Usergroup Manager
• Forum Manager
• Infraction Manager
• Search for User
• Ban User
• New Announcement

Moderators

• Mod Panel Home
• Search for User
• Search for IP
• Ban User
• New Announcement

*Links can be customized [easily]! Please check the download for instructions.



Screenshots:





*Please note: In the screenshots above, the Administrator sees both the Admin and Moderator Panel. This glitch was fixed in v2.5, but I am unable to update the screenshots until I reopen my forum.

Tested and working perfetly in vBulletin 3.8.1, althought it should work in all versions of vBulletin newer than 3.5.

Please Click "Installed" if you have used this hack!

For Installation Instructions, Please Download and see the .txt

I welcome comments and feedback!

I installed this on a brand new forum this afternoon and it worked like a charm. However another one I work on (3.82) does not seem to have the first code that I search for.

Here is my code in the NAVBAR. Any help is much appreciated. Great Hack!

I was wondering if there is any way to have a site owner and an admin to have the admin toolbar ? I have a site owner as an id of #10 and admin as #6 , i can get one number, didnt know if there was a way to have two different id number to have it. I tried with 6,10 but it didn't like it, error.
I'm using 3.8.4 version. If not that' s ok. Not really that important.
Other than that , great mod , thanks. Marked installed.

[Trescom]

Hey nNJ, great work! I really love it!
Why didn't i think about it earlier ^^

I've translated everything into polish language.
Attachement's below.

Hope to see new release soon!

[nNJ]

Hey guys.

Sorry about the HUUGE delay for V3. Honestly, I forgot about this mod. I'll pick it up tomorrow, look forward to v3 soon!

P.S. - Id love to hear your input on this!

[nNJ]

Update: I finished V3 tonight; added permission checking.
(An Admin/Mod will only see links to tools that he/she has permission to use).

It was actually a lot easier to do than expected.

I was thinking about a V4.. but what else could I add?.. This mod seems pretty complete. Any and all suggestions are welcome!

I'll try this mod is excellent q and then give my opinion thanks

[dandanch]

The only problem is what you wanted us to replace is now gone, you asked us to delete that code in the Upgrade?
or maybe i'm just not understanding what your asking us to do.

[WebkinzCoast]

I'm going to install this right now, hoping it all works out great

[WebkinzCoast]

Not working for me? I made the necessary changes and nothing news in the Navbar?
