I can't seem to find why all the other dropdowns work, but this one doesn't.

I checked the default style of VB and it works there.

In SHOWTHREAD template, look for the following lines:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and replace with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Note that the only change is in the last line here from div to ul.

The closing of this div should also be changed. Look for:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and replace with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

If anyone has done any other updates to this mod / style, post them here so that we can add them to the next release.

and in navbar_tabs template, find

Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and replace with

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Yay! Thank You this is awesome! So happy to see a navbar back!
Couple questions, not sure if you know how to fix.

1. Is there a way to make the sub options appear as dropdowns in the desktop view?
2. I noticed when in mobile view (and it may have always done this and I just didn't notice it until now). But the search icon, logout option etc. ) squish together and become invisible in this area. Do you know how to make them fit better in the top blue area?




EDIT:
I just noticed that the dropdowns do appear when I hover over this white area. DId I do something wrong? Or is there something else going on?


Edit 2:
I'm also not able to actually select anything, as they disappear as soon as I try and hover an option.

Grrr, VB.org keeps changing the URLs to my images overnight.
To see what I'm talking about, go here
http://www.caraudiocentral.net

I've tried starting over, but ended up with the same result. Any ideas why the dropdowns don't seem to be working correctly?

What would vb.org have to do with any images on your site?

I meant the screenshots in the post I quoted, the URLs are being changed so the images don't display

Demo:

Is this built on VB?
Or is this something else?

Edit: It looks to be a whole new forum suite.
Will you still be supporting XenVB?

It's not a forum, or better, is not just a forum. Is a portal having all those sections. That said, is not vB, is not xF, is not IPS. Is just a fair portal, for those who want to start a ready community. Ideal a City Portal.

Sure. XLForo is something different. My passion for vBulletin is still active.

[cdoyle]

Will you still be releasing the newsletter and classifieds mods as part of XEN?

[Hostboard]

I would recommend that you add a service to your list of qualifications you are willing to offer in that "Upgrade VB4 to PHP 7.4.x" as unfortunately publishing any of the core code even here is against the rules. many sites are already running under this version of PHP with zero issues. There have been quite a few here and on other VB related sites wanting to update PHP so I think there is a niche market for this.

Just a side note, my site just got updated to MariaDB 10.5.8 and seems to be no issues with that either.

Newsletter is a bundle of 2 separate modules:

1. First I'll complete the Mailinglist module. Have already the functions to Subscribe/Unsubscribe, so what left is to add the Newsletter creation.
2. Second is the Member Newsletter which will includes forum activity. If I use the exact same code as my old mod, does not needs lot of work, as the only that need to change are some (few) templates.

But I can't fix a date for release. The good point is that I finished with XLForo, both script and website, so I can focus now again the XenvB4.

Sorry, don't have in my plans to offer such services due to lack of free time. Someone else who released here PHP 7.3 compatibility, has also updated his files for 7.4, but don't know if he is willing to release them in public.

As for the copyrights. In this case, law is not strict, for 2 reasons:

1. Product has officially marked as EOL.
2. Everybody can look around to find a way to keep his investment alive. Buying something is always an investment, which also has rights according to the law. Nobody can push someone to continue upgrading a script, but on the same case, nobody can restrict a user to find a way to protect his investment as long as the company does not offers it.

That's great to hear that XEN will still be developed and the additional features are still in the works.
One thing about the newsletter, will it be possible to send to forum members? In addition to people who sign up? My idea for the newsletter is to keep my members engaged with the forum.

Just a thought, as I know on my forum it would get more readers that way.

If they don't want to receive it, there could be an option within their User CP to unsubscribe?

This is exactly what I have in my mind but my English quality didn't help me to make it clear. So, in simple words, the recipients are:

1. Mailinglist: Anybody who subscribes to Mailinglist
2. Newsletter: Members

Sure. Even if on the footer of each email should be an Unsubscribe link (you can turn if OFF), the users can always unsubscribe from an option in usercp. I'll not use the current setting "Receive emails from Admin", to have the system flexible. Maybe someone don't want to get Newsletter but still want to be inform for important announcements.


Finally, for those who don't remember this mod, it also supports:

1. Bounce emails
2. Ability to Admins to send a message from a smartphone to a specific email address having a password after the title (not visible to message), and the system to send this message to members. Works fine, but as it's a bit weak for security (if someone hacks the password), I'm thinking to extend it by adding a confirmation with SMS.
