Add to quick links VB 4.1.8

[I.G.O.T.A.]

OK I have researched and really don't understand where to modify and add to the quick links or get them from. The links I want to add to the quick links are below. Thanks for the help.

-subscribed threads (already there)
-private messages
-profile settings
-my posts
-my threads
-who's online (already there)

You would edit the navbar template and add those links in. Or, just use the template_hooks that are there:

                            {vb:raw template_hook.navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1}
                            {vb:raw template_hook.navbar_quick_links_menu_pos2}
                            {vb:raw template_hook.navbar_quick_links_menu_pos3}

OK, I'm still confused, lol. Can you give me a break down how to do that. Thanks JJ

To do what?

To edit the template - Style Manager > find style > Edit templates > find navbar > add in your links

To write plugin, Plugin Manager > add new plugin > hook location is probably "process_templates_complete" and then just add in the code like this:

PHP Code:

$template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'] .= 'your link code here';

Thanks for the help!

The problem with this solution is that the link to member profile is variable depending on the user ID, so, is there a way to add this type of code to a link:

<vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if>  
	 
			<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw memberinfo}}">
				{vb:rawphrase view_profile}
			</a>
		</li>
		 
		</vb:if>

Not sure that is even close to being right.

You could use a variable to define it first (I think the function is something like fetch_seo_url). It's php, so just write php to define the url and then insert it into the link.

PHP Code:

$myvar=fetch_seo_url(whatever....);
$template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'] .= 'htm' .$myvar. 'more html';

Lynne --- is this still valid info?

I've added a plugin to product "vBulletin" at the "process_templates_complete" hook. The PHP code is:

PHP Code:

$template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'] .= '<li>My Test Menu Item</li>'; 


Exec. order is "5" and the plugin's marked active.

However, I can't find the text anywhere on the page or in its HTML source...

I am running 4.2.0 --- did the navigation update change this?
