It's from attempting to upload the file to my site. It's not having it for some reason. I think it's decided we're only allowed 20 installs of the same plugin ha ha

That's not an issue I can fix. Are you saying you have 20 versions of the plugin installed, or have installed 20 versions over time, only having one version installed now, lol? Also are you trying to install from the library. 

I was just trying to offer a little humour mate.

I have the last version 2.0.1 installed. As soon as I attempt to upload your latest 2.0.2 it gives me that error time and again. I've only ever had that error before when it was the wrong type of file, so I'll run through the process again and check everything.

that's a current problem on Support, check the general Support board--I'm seeing a lot of threads about it. I'm sure the admisn will resolve it soon =)

Appreciate that Elf. You just saved me a whole lot of work. Nice one.

OK, quick update.

Installed the 2.0.2 but the same problem exists regarding opening a new tab.

Once the tab is opened, everything stays in the new tab, so not a multiple opening of tabs issue. The 2 culprits are the last 2 in my chain. Regarding self or blank, there is no setting to add _self or _blank, so presume your code already caters for that. All my options are set to self, not blank, yet arcade and profile refuse to use the same tab as the forum starts in.

It's still not working because you still don't have the target set for the sublinks.

You have NAME|URL and it needs to be NAME|URL|TARGET

I told you that arleady. The main link target is just for the main link(the one that shows in the menu).

Laughing here. You actually said

It's happening because you haven't set a target and it's setting as undefined.

It should be Name|URL|Target and you have Name|URL without the |Target

EDIT: I did notice something that slipped my mind to do. I added the option in the plugin settings but didn't put it in the code. And that is the main link target. So i fixed that and updated the plugin.

For very basic coders like myself, you need to presume no knowledge ha ha.

What you meant was this, yes? :

manually add |"target="_self" or |"target="_blank" to the end of the sub nav links

_self is default, and have never had to enter it before, hence why I was confused.

Much obliged Shorty.

ps. Why the need for a pipe before the target?

[Shorty]

No. An Example

Home|/|_self

I added the option for a target so that you wouldn't have to do the method you showed. And before it defaulted to _self because there was no target on the link, so it acted normally. But now the target is part of it and if you don't have it, then it will make the target undefined and treat it as _blank.

EDIT: In the plugin instructions I even put what the two options are for people who don't know(either _blank or _self).

EDIT #2: I just read the ps about the pipe and the target. The pipe is used because it's what separates the options. You don't need the target="_self" it just needs to be _self. I put it as an option that you wouldn't have to put the HTML in because it was not easy. So I made it easier.

I'd originally thought the option to choose self or blank covered all bases, hence the confusion.

Thanks Shorty.

You're welcome.

Hey, Shorty, I have the profile drop-downs set up to give the url alcryst.proboards.com/user/[#userid]/personal but it no longer converts the variable to the respective user id, it remains that variable and gives you an error. it worked before so I assume an update broke it. Or maybe I did something wrong I dunno, but I haven't changed the urls since they worked last. Any ideas?

[Shorty]

The variable changed to $[user.id]

[Welshling]

I don't get how to edit the sub settings since you've updated, I can't get my head around the coding... Here's what i have so far, for the Admin Button. but the sub links don't work.

You need to use brackets instead of parenthesis.

[Welshling]

Shorty I went and swapped all the () brackets for {} them and its still not working for me

Thanks.

[Shorty]

You are using the wrong userid variable. Replace all [#userid]s with $[user.id]
