Double navigation bar

This was the best solution to have more navbar links I saw so far.
This places a second navbar above the breadcrumb.

Open your navbar template, find:


Code:
<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->


and add the following before that line


Code:

<!-- top nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<tr align="center">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Home</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="online.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[whos_online]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></td>
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&showposts=0&starteronly=1&exactname=1&searchuser=$bbuserinfo[username]">My Threads</a> / <a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&showposts=0&exactname=1&searchuser=$bbuserinfo[username]">Replies</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#" onclick="window.open('misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist&amp;focus=1','buddylist','statusbar=no,me nubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars =yes,resizable=yes,width=250,height=300'); return false;">$vbphrase[open_buddy_list]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[my_profile]</a></td>
</if>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$admincpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">AdminCP</a></td>
</if>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / top nav buttons bar -->


and change the links as you like :p

ugh the screenshot is way too small. But I can say that I've used this hack and my members (well, ex-members) love it.

all fixed --

ahh mucho betta...

Glad you posted this here Dream. Looks like I'm going to need it for my designs site.
I'm running out of links space :rolleyes:

This is a great little mod, I use it on my site for sure.:)

Thanks! Works great :)

ٌReally powerful and easy to use mod
Thanx a lot

I love the hack here but is there a way to make the links link to outside HTML/php pages or pages on other websites? I've been trying for about an hour now and cant come up with it.

Sure you can matt. Take this link code
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Home</a></td>

and make the link you want.

<td><a href="http://www.whateverurl.com">Their Site</a></td>

If it doesn't work without the vbmenu_control, then add that in there, but for an outside link, you shouldn't need it.

woofooo thats a great mod i did that and now my navbar looks great thanks dream :D

@ Peggy Thanks a lot for the help knew it was going to be something easy like that.

One more question I wasn't sure where to put it but i figure other people might have this problem, and like me do not know how to fix it, See attached picture.

How do i get the font colour to black, or any other colour that will show up and not be such a sore on the eyes?

thank şekerim

Hello!

i am using this hack and wanted to know how do i make the links open in a new window/tab
i've put links to sites outside my forum.

Thanks,

Erez.

at the end of the address of the site you're linking to, before the >, add target="_blank"

in other words the link to the other site should look something like
<a href="www.othersitelink.com" target="_blank">

Thank you!

The navbar works like a charm, really happy about the ease of use of this,

Thanks again Peggy.

Erez.

You're welcome. I've used this on a few clients' sites, and it does work very well.
