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 have solved that problem. Just delete

<if condition="$show['canbanusers']"> and </if> from the beginning and the end of each option.

We are looking to convert this useful mod to a simple xml product.

Love this idea! Don't know why I've never thought to do it myself. Thanks.

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

You folks are using custom skins that have the navigation buttons outside the navbar template it appears. Perhaps they have been moved to your header template?

Just make the same edit (the first one in the instructions) to which ever template they are in.

Me too. Being the only admin, and having all of my Mods as full Super Moderators eliminates the need for conditionals anyway.

Thanks for the great Mod. I recently made some changes to my forum and lost some Mod links but this is even better than what I had hacked together.

I did have to remove the if conditional statements as mentioned in the last posts.
