This is a simple way to clean up your navbar.

Why clean it up? Well on most forums, very few members use the FAQ, Members list and Calender. So why clutter up the navbar with all those items.

My suggestion is to move them to the Quick Links drop down menu. This way, they are still available, but not taking up space on the navbar.

All this happens in your navbar template.


What your looking for first is this code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
Delete that.


Now look for:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[my_profile]</a></td></tr>
And place this code below it.

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td></tr>
Notice, we didnt only move it but we altered the code a little. We wrapped each link in <tr> </tr> tags and we changed vbmenu_control to vbmenu_option.


Now, lets add a homepage link to the navbar.

If your homepage is forumhome...

Look for this:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center">
And below it place this:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.Your-Homepage-URL/">Home</a></td>


IF you have a homepage and a Forumhome (like this site has)...

Look for this:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center">
And below it place this:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.Your-Homepage-URL/">Home</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.Your-Forum-Home-Url">Forum</a></td>

Now, You can also add a Dynamic Home / Forums Link (If you use vBadvanced CMPS as your homepage)





<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'">




<a href="$vboptions[bburl]?$session[sessionurl]">

Forums

<else />
<a href="$vboptions[homeurl]?$session[sessionurl]">
Home
