Drop Down Nav [Library Support]

[Shorty]

So I read one of the reviews of this plugin in the plugin library. The person was complaining about having to add CSS to the forums style sheet. So I took it upon myself to find a way to remedy this. Before I had an issue changing the list look with jQuery, but I figured out a way to do it so that it would be easier for people to use without having to edit the CSS style sheet. So I pushed the update to the library, and will let you guys know when it is available. Hope you guys like the new update.

No offense to whomever was complaining but it was easy as heck to work with this plugin so long as you can follow instructions, which even dogs can do. Sounds more like laziness than a true problem. But regardless, I'm glad you're so open to suggestion and worked really hard to accommodate all your users! You're a great Plugin Creator, Shorty, I've seen you do some amazing feats just to help one person out. =) Thanks for the update!

It's no problem to me that they didn't like adding the CSS. No matter the reason.  It was more difficult for the average user who didn't know CSS. Now you can just input a color and it'll work. The new options include a color picker for list item text color, list item background color, list item hover text color, list item hover background color and options to use your own CSS for the list item, list item on hover, entire menu, entire menu on hover. But like I said, I'll let y'all know when the update is available in the library and y'all can tell me how it works. I tested it in Chrome and it worked just fine. So hopefully there won't be any issues with it. Also thank you for the kind words. I truly appreciate that.

I've discovered an issue which you might be able to help with Shorty.

I've been creating a few 'member only' custom pages and noticed that if permissions are set to any custom page, such as 'members and staff only', or even 'member rank' then when a visitor, or member with insufficient priviledges visits the page, and gets the 'you don't have permission' message, all the drop downs and there respective navigation buttons disappear leaving the user no longer being able to navigate the website unless they press on one of the default buttons.

I've tested the other scenarios regarding permissions, such as a guest attempting to access a private thread etc, and that seems not to have any effect on the drop downs, but further investigation shows the same problem if a guest presses on a members name, so there might be other examples.

This at least tells me it's not just limited to the custom pages, so don't know if it's a fault with your plug in, or a fault with the forum side of things, but it is problematic for me as my site relies heavily on the drop downs.

Cheers for any response and hope the feedback is useful.

ps. It doesn't happen if a guest presses on a members name on the forum front page, but if they try it in the micro profile, or thread list.

Barkley it seems as if no plugin is working on these error pages. So because of this I don't think it's something with my plugin. So I suggest trying to ask about it in support.

Thanks for the reply mate. I'll see what I can find out.

I am sorry if this has been discussed, I did not read through this thread

Is it possible for this plugin to add Icons to the Nav Bar buttons??

[Shorty]

What do you mean?

[wtvr]

can a small image be displayed in the nav bar? like next to a specific button?

[Shorty]

You can use HTML images in the names of the button, so yes.
