Version: 2.0.2
File Edits: 0
Template Edits: 2
Difficulty: Easy


Description:
You can add links or multiple menus to the navbar quickly through a form. Specify which usergroups can see each link via the permissions system.


F.A.Q.
Q: Why aren't the links showing?
A: Edit the link in your Admin CP and check the usergroup permissions

Q: All the links I made from the last version are gone
A: Go into phpmyadmin and select your vbulletin database.
Browse the table named "custom_droplinks". Change all the "catid's" with 0 to 1.
Go into your ACP --> Advanced Navbar Links --> Modify/Delete The links should show up under the first category. You can edit the links from here and select a different category to place it in.

Q: How do I get the links to appear on vBAdvanced?
A: Go into your ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Default Settings
Look for "Portal Output Global Variables". Add the following into the text area.

custom_singlelinks
custom_droplinks
custom_droplinks_cat

If you install this mod please press the "Install" button.

--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

but I would still like to see a way to move the "extras" position to the very left before usercp

Import the product and select "Allow Overwrite".

In your navbar template
Find

<if condition="$show['member']">
			<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>

Add Above

<td id="custom_links" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#custom_links">$vbphrase[custom_links_link]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("custom_links"); </script></td>
$custom_singlelinks

Works fine except

When I go to new posts then on that screen click on the menu it shows up blank, every other time I use it, it has my menu choices fine, so not a huge deal.

There are a couple other pages it doesn't work on. I don't really mind that they don't work on some pages.

I don't see this link appearing on any pages in vb 3.6. I added a link in the custom links and made sure permissions were -1. Anyone not seeing the Extras appear in the toolbar?

Are you using a custom style? If so the designer may have put the navbar in the header template.
What is your site?

[Gnappy]

installed, the "extras" is added in navbar but i cant edit or add any... why?



and a little question: to access the edit page i browse directly www.site.com/admincp/admin_custom_links.php
is this correct or i missed the link menu in my acp?
