Nav Menu if anyone wants it

[BoNfiRe]

Little nav menu to use. ( Just added it as a few ppl don't know ho to )

obviously you will need to go through it changing the links as you need. :) Also includes a dropdown section, and is very easy to customize.

demo here (http://www.tlgn.com)

[Zedd]

man, that is exactly what I wanted :)

[poseidon]

same here, got a question though. I've got it formatted and linked how I want but when I try to place anything underneath it, it won't let me. It takes it to the bottom of the page and then expands it across the bottom of the page. How do I fix that?

[Zedd]

you might want to redo it, all those table tags are needed, you mess even one fo them up and it does not work right.

I have it up on my site and it works with something underneath it

[Porthos]

I have a question for the dropdown menu on the bottom. how exactly do you go about using the site menu? they have a <option> tag. I tried uding a <a herf= for a link and it won't work. So does anyone have a clue?

[Thanatos]

You my want to add in the following step:

Admincp > Languages & Phrases > Phrase Manager

Phrase Type: vBadvanced CMPS
varname: vba_navigation
text: Navigation (or whatever you want the box named)
save

This is what you see ... <option value="/#?cat=23">Half Life 2</option>
Just add your link to the "/#?cat=23" i.e.....
<option value="http://www.yoursite.com">Half Life 2</option> or
<option value="../index.php">Half Life 2</option>

I will be making a proper module out of this just don't know how to code too well I have made a php file with it all but can't get it to work :(

[BoNfiRe]

OK appologies just looked at what I sent, and well umm it was the wrong one ( was the one I was using which is messy cos it's mine ;) ) this is a cleaner version using more of your skins style, and Zedd I have cleaned all the tables I hope you find it better now :)

[poseidon]

BoNfiRe

[BoNfiRe]

looked for that and couldn't find it in the list. Any other idea's?

thats cos you have to add it ;)

as for the second bit umm no idea but this is the bit that does the border ...

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">

try changing the cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" and cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" to cellpadding="2" cellspacing="3"

hope that helps if not try changing the values of cellpadding="" cellspacing="" to something else.

[poseidon]

that did it man, thanks ;)

You have to add that phrase in, otherwise instead of a menu title >> Navigation

You get a menu titled >>

The instructions have you reference $vbphrase[vba_navigation] and the Author recommends you name the menu navigation.

But that little bit of the instruction to actually add the phrase was missed.

Just trying to help out :)

thanks Thanatos, after bonfire clarified that I have to add it and not search for it I figured it out. I've got mine named now...thanks for the help everyone ;)

[Thanatos]

Most welcome.

It's rare I understand any portion of coding well enough to help someone, so I take the opportunities as I get them.

Glad you got it working :)

Love the new CMS and how modular it is.

[Brian]

Moving this to the hacks forum since it's a modification. :)

[BoNfiRe]

kool wasn't sure where to put it tis only a nav menu it was ppl where asking in the how do I bit :)

[Cryshandylan]

wow i feel retarded, i did everything listed..including the Phrase Manager stuff..but i still think i'm missing something, since the link box doesn't come up..any ideas?

EDIT: NM i'm a moron...i was putting adv_portal_navigation in the OR Template to Include:
spot..simply cause it says
"It is not necessary to enter that prefix with the template name" so it sounds like it shouldn't matter...might want to consider changing that Brian

[Pro]

i've tried everything... still nothing? :(

[RandomLove]

I followed the steps mentioned but I got nothing!

[adhari_com]

did both steps correctly, but nothing is showing up!

any ideas?

[BeasTboyz]

Thanks, works great :)

[Ras Masta]

Dude that's awesome thanks.

[Ras Masta]

Yea I installed it and nothing shows up. I've even added the phrase and still nothing.

[Ras Masta]

Ok I figure it out. When creating the module don't put adv_portal_ just put the name of the template you created.

Such as "navmenu"

[Ras Masta]

Now I wanna know how to get rid of those gray boxes when it comes up on my site.

[BoNfiRe]

In the template there is a small css bit u can either adjust the colours to match your site, or if you don't want it displayed just remove it ;)

[mholtum]

nice work! Thank you. That saved me allot of time.. :D

Not familiar with css too much, could you tell me what to look for without screwing it up? :)

[TheSauceMaster]

Very nice , just what I was looking for :)

[Staticfire]

Umm Im a little confused how do I add the coding to the module once I have made the module???

[BoNfiRe]

Thank You.

any screenshots?

[poseidon]

any screenshots?
there is a live demo link in the first post ;)

[icanx]

I do not see anywhere to edit the content of the template. When I click edit all I get is the options to edit the preferences for the template. Someone please help!!

[mholtum]

if you have created a template, just click the name and it opens in edit mode... If you havent created one, create one and then edit the content

[Watson]

I still cant get this to show up, and I also followed all of the instructions as they are :(

Anyone able to help me

OK bud I think this is an error in the instructions ......

Where it says 'Or template to include' I think I say to put vba_portal_navigation that is my bad just try and put navigation leaving out the vba_portal_ that should work. If not please feel free to pm me and I will take another look

[KW802]

Pretty cool, thank you! :cool:

Poseidon, fyi, in Firefox, you nav menu is all jacked up. Not sure how many people use it in your community...but it's pretty bad. It stretches across the entire page. I think it's your tables as I have installed this on my site (www.onlinedebate.net) and it appears fine in all browswers (after editing the template).

[KW802]

Here's simple little change if anybody wants to dress up their menu a little bit.

For the rows of your menu that have a link (as opposed to just a section title, for example) try changing your "<tr>" tags to something like... <TR onMouseOver="this.className='alt2'" onMouseOut="this.className='alt1'">
Change the 'alt1' and 'alt2' values to best match your sites; for me I've been trying to restrict myself to using the classes so that all of the templates are generic for any skin I may install.

For a demo of what the heck I'm talking about visit http://www.coolscifi.com/?styleid=1 and move your mouse up & down over the items in the navigation module.

:)

[vorphalack]

I don't have any fancy images or rollovers, but here's a simple menu if anyone can't get the above one working... should be as simple as changing the ?page= to whatever your 'page' word is, and the name of the page, and whatever text you want displayed for the link.
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Articles</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="100%">
<span class="smallfont">
<a href="$vboptions[homeurl]?page=akcvsusda">AKC vs USDA</a><br>
<a href="$vboptions[homeurl]?page=genetics">Genetics Directory</a><br>
<a href="$vboptions[homeurl]?page=helping">How You Can Help</a><br>
<a href="$vboptions[homeurl]?page=whatisapuppymill">What's A Puppy Mill?<br>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

[bloodydecks]

This worked well for me. The only thing that was requested was that when you click on a link in the bar, that it spawn a new window instead of opening the link in the same window. I would imagine this is a pretty simple fix, but I dont know how to do it. Thanks.

[SalTheWop]

I have applied this mod, it shows up as an active module but nothing comes up on the home page.
Now I havent altered anything in the template (urls) , as I just wanted to see what it looked like.Do I have to change all the urls to be able to even see the box?

:) Hi KW802

Apologies to resurrect an old post but ...

I added that line as a replacement for one of my <tr> tags as a test - and indeed I see the alternating colours dependant upon the class colurs but at first I see just a black background that doens't change until i move the mouse over the cell.

How do I make the default class for those cells alt1 and the mouse over effect change it to alt2...?

I am trying it out on www.thegamesmaster.com (http://www.thegamesmaster.com) (which as yet is not officially launched)

[SalTheWop]

Ok, got it working . Can I edit it?All I want showing (at the moment ,is one section, links to the Forum pages , Gallery Pages ,Home.
Can I just delete the parts referring to section 2,3,4 etc in the template?
In fact ,can I delete the Section 1 box ,so under Site Navigation it just has the pages I want to link to (if ya know what I mean)


I placed the dot.gif in forum/images , I take it that is what should be showing up by the side of the section titles?
