Navigation module for vBulletin 3.5.x and CMPS 2.0
I have found this module always nicely and skilful, and have decided to modify and rewrite it for vB 3.5 and vBa 2.0.
Many thank to Deviant ++ for giving me the permissions to modify and rewrite its module.
Features:
1. Search box ( with advanced search).
2. Drop Down Menus ( add as many drop down links and sublinks you want).
3. Mouse Roll overs ( color changes on both main menu and submenu).
4. Unique Button feel to highlight dull areas such as archive as vB Lite mode.
5. Button to profile image (You can refer him to your gallery or download hack) .
6. Complete IE and FF support.
7. Easy to edit code parsing.
8. Rename the module from edit module page instead of html coding.
9. Conditional AdminCP link for admins.
Install notes:
Go to your Admincp -> open vBa CMPS -> Download / Upload Module
- Please select a module from your computer to upload (select the navigationmenu.module).
- Column (left is the best location).
- Display Order (0 or what you want).
- Active (yes).
- Update All Pages (what you want).
- Style to install templates to (what you want).
- Usergroups (what you want).
- Submit
Upload upnew.gif & navbits_dash.gif to your skins ( 'misc' ) folder.
all done !
Note: Dont forget that you can save server resources by disabling the search module from the edit cmps module page.
You can also look for support here, but I am not a real coder, thus help each other please.
Module updated on 20 October 2005:
