So you are adding a drop down to the profile button?

I've had a drop down on that button since the first time I used your plug in Shorty. It takes the member straight to the settings page.

I last used v1.06 and all worked well, other than the large boxes in I.E.

So it's not showing for guests, but it's pointless to show it to guests? I'm not exactly sure what you wanting from this? If you set it to show for everyone it will show for everyone, but if you don't show it to everyone it won't show to guests. So yeah I'm confused on what the issue is, can you please restate what exactly is happening.

No mate.

Profile is members only.

Everything else is for everyone, with exception of the admin, messages, profile, members tabs, which are registered only.

Set up like this, the Profile's members only setting overrides the social tab, and arcade tabs 'everybody' setting.

To allow guests to see social and arcade, I have to also change the profile setting to 'everyone', which is pointless, as it will just give them an error.

I could possibly remove the profile tab, but that won't solve the issue in the plug in.

All other settings such as custom pages etc have been double checked.

Hope that helps.

Ahh thank you for better explaining it. What's happening is that the social button is going after the profile button and when you are a guest there is no profile button, so it doesn't place. The arcade button you have placing after the social button and since the social button didnt get created then the arcade button has no place to go. So you will have to use something that is visible to guests as the placement point for arcade and social so that it will be added in as a guest.

Thanks matey.
I'll give it a go and let you know the result Shorty.
Appreciated.

OK, I made sure 'profile' came after the custom buttons.

It's position on the navigation bar is already governed by /admin/settings/navigation, as it's a default button, so all works regarding the drop downs.

Only the colour bleed remains.


Good job mate.

i've imported your latest release and just wondering what the width settings should be, because when left empty the hovered options don't line up so nothing can be clicked in the sub sections. If you get my meaning.

[Shorty]

the width is different for each drop down. So I can't tell you what it should be. Just use trial and error until it's right. The width setting is there to fix something with IE that I couldn't figure out how to fix.

[Welshling]

Ah so now chrome users have an added option that isn't needed lol, but ok i will fiddle with some pixels.

[Shorty]

yes. it was the only way that I could think to make it work for IE.

[Welshling]

Gotta love IE huh? xD
