FAQ


Q: The link doesn't look right on the navbar
A: While on your forums view the source and search for id="navbar_search"
To the right should be "class" (For the default skin the class is "vbmenu_control")

Edit the navbar template

Replace the "class" so it's the same as the search's class.
Let's say you're class is "nav_element" then it should look like this

P.S.
Fix your homepage and put http:// infront of it
i.e. http://www.latechbbb.com
Thanks! I got my link fixed. Thank you for pointing that out.

I see you've updated the hack to fix the problem. I was leaving the field blank and was having the problem you described in your update. I had done a work around and just removed all the image code in the .xml to get around it. But now I've installed the upgrade and it is working fine.

Appreciate the quick response and support!

I did the vBulletin upgrade via plugin and it still works fine. Don't know about the full vBulletin upgrade, though.

Some Questions/ Help

I installed the hack and it works well . Thanks for that .

Question 1 - How do I rename the Title "EXTRAS" to something else

Question 2 - How do I move the link "EXTRAS" to a different location on the Nav Bar

Question 3 - I want to make another Navbar table under the the default navbar can I still use this hack to populate the new table ?

Question 4 I want to be able to have multiple links with drop downs like
http://www.synergyforums.com/forum/index.php? and http://www.haitiwebs.com/

I thought they were using your hack but in ACP under custom links I just have 2 options Add and Modify / Delete

Thank You ..

Question 1 - How do I rename the Title "EXTRAS" to something else
--Admin CP --> Languages & Phrases --> Phrase Manager click "Search".
In the "Search for Text" box type "Extras" and click "Find".
Click The "Edit" button on the page that comes up.
In the "English (US) Translation" box type the word you would like to use and click "Save".

Question 2 - How do I move the link "EXTRAS" to a different location on the Nav Bar
--Edit the navbar and place the code below in the template where you want it

I can add extra links to the navbar but the only one that lets me have a drop down is "EXTRAS" if I do Custom Links --> Add change the "Add Stand Alone Link" setting to "No" it adds the link under "EXTRAS"

This my Site I added the link "Public Records" . Is it possible to make the Public Records Link a Dropdown Like Extras . Thanks

If you added the link via my script then you cannot make it into a drop down menu.
I am trying to figure out how to add it.

Here's a tutorial on how to make a drop down menu

In the phrase manager search for "Extras".
Edit the wird and in the "English Translation" box put what you want it to say.
