The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Dynamic Navbarlinks · **Released**: 05-30-2009

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:

A "good" navbar Template with the following 3 template_hooks:

$template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]
$template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]
$ad_location[ad_navbar_below]

If one of these HOOKs missing, the links could not be shown.
Changlog:
v1.3
Added a Bit for Phrases set. This will allow you to enter phrases instead of text.

A short description for the installed example:

Code:

1|0|0|1|test.php|Test 1|1|0
2|1|0|1||TEST 2|1|0
3|0|2|2|aaa.php|AAA|1|0
4|0|2|3|bbb.php|BBB|1|0
5|0|2|4||SUB TEST|1|0
6|0|2|5|ccc.php|CCC|1|0
7|1|0|1||TEST 3|0|0
8|0|7|2|zzz.php|ZZZ|0|0

This is a normal link (URL & Name are required)

Code:

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

This is a link for a dhtml menu (URL doesn't required and MUST leave blank)

Code:

2|1|0|1||TEST 2|1|0

These are 2 submenus (SUB = 2, URL & Name are required)

Code:

3|0|2|2|aaa.php|AAA|1|0
4|0|2|3|bbb.php|BBB|1|0

Another link for a dhtml menu (URL are not required and MUST leave blank, SUB = 2 this is a new submen? in the dhtml (ID: 2))

Code:

5|0|2|4||SUB TEST|1|0

Another submenu

Code:

 6|0|2|5|ccc.php|CCC|1|0

A new dhtml menu (SUB = 0 (no ID to an existing))

Code:

7|1|0|1||TEST 3|0|0
8|0|7|2|zzz.php|ZZZ|0|0

"SORTORDER" must be "unique", but will NOT sort the entries.
Also submenus (any kind) must on the correct side - otherwiseit will not shown.

Here is an example for phrases:
old code:

Code:

8|0|7|2|zzz.php|ZZZ|0|0

new code:

Code:

8|0|7|2|zzz.php|dyn_zzz|0|1

This means, you havbe to create a GLOBAL phrase:
varname: dyn_zzz
text: ZZZ

Wow this is a great idea ... editing the navbar template is always a hassle, especially when upgrading. Such a feature should be standard in vBulletin.

Not by using the TMS Addon

Thanks for this--I actually just started working on a navbar manually. I was going to add drop downs but then I spotted this mod so now I actually may have a bit more free time today thanks to this!!

Thanks! - Should make a PITA job a little easier..

This is brilliant, thank you. I used to use something very similar back for phpNuke, and missed the ease of administration of it.

I'm using vbAdvanced Links 3.2 and vBulletin 3.8.3.

This mod conflicts with the Links Directory mod from VBAdvanced. When using this mod and clicking the View Link Details of a link...it breaks the Links mod...displaying no link details.

Disabling this mods plugin...fixes the issue.

Sorry...clicks Uninstalled.
