</table>
</div>
<!-- / Links menu -->

<!-- Contact Zone -->

Everything works now, except the items

[GuaRRand]

Anyone??!?!?

[TouranMan]

You've lost the code to create the drop down. Insert this before your items menu:

<!-- Items -->
<table class="alt1" height="18" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
<tr onmouseover="this.className='alt1'" onmouseout="this.className='alt2'"><td class="tcat" align="center" ><span id="items">
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("items"); </script>&nbsp; <a href="#">Items</a> </span></td></tr>
</table>
<!-- / Items -->

[attroll]

I changed the code a little and made 9 drop down menus istead of the navbits style menu. You and view it on my site www.whiteblaze.net.

[Kseki]

awesome ! working great on v3.5.4

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:
Avalon111 found a bug in the search of the module, the [/form] tag was missing, thnx Avalon111

Thnx all, and have fun with the new navigation module.




Optional:
You can adds 9 more search engines to your module.
Thanks to Judge Ruckus & 58sniper

Replace in your adv_portal_navmenu template this:

<!-- Search -->
<hr size="1"/>
<form action="{$vbulletin->options[bburl]}/search.php" method="post" name="search"> <input name="s" type="hidden" value="" /> <input name="do" type="hidden" value="process" /> <input name="sortby" type="hidden" value="lastpost" /> <input name="forumchoice" type="hidden" value="0" />
    <input class="bginput" name="query" size="16" type="text" /> $gobutton
    <div class="smallfont">&raquo; <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a></div>
</form>
<!-- / Search -->

With this:

<!-- Search -->
<hr size="1"/>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
    function startSearch(){
     searchString = document.searchForm.searchText.value;
     switch (document.searchForm.whichEngine.value) {

     document.searchForm.submit();
     return true;
     break
     default:
     finalSearchString = "";
     }
     document.location = finalSearchString;
     return true;
    }

Wow, very nice little feature to add. Thank you for the effort. I am fairly new to vb so I am trying to learn as much as possible. Question; how do you change the font size in this for the different sections?

Thank You,

Nuguru

[SE7ENSINS com]

Wow, thanks! I'll have to try this out when I get on my computer! I've been looking for this!!!! Thanks a million.

[Deviant++]

Ahh am so glad people love this add on mod so much
It's been around for a long time since I made it hahah, didnt expect it to.

Thumbs up to all you guys who updated it. Truly the group hack.

Someone should make this a sticky.

[Ted]

Forgive me for asking this...

But for somebody who knows NOTHING about coding, is this something I want to consider adding?

In other words, is it fairly easy to add links and such? Or must I be a coding guru?

Again... I know even LESS than nothing about coding... but wanted to ask before I invested the time in downloading/installing it

Thanks much!

Usually if the hack is done right you can just follow the directions to a T and have no problem.

Since you know nothing about coding I would recommend you purchase another domain name for a test site and us that to put your hacks in before putting them in your main site. This way if you screw something up you will not lose anything and it gives you someplace to expirement with.

[Ted]

Hi Attroll, thanks very much for responding.

I actually installed this and it looks great. However, I wasn't sure how to remove links from the menu (ex. "Arcades") or add links... so I removed it and have had no problems.

Yet. LOL

Again, thanks for your reply!

[DiverTree]

it must be idiot proof ... i did it!! thanks!!! whohoo!!!
