Lynx , just some suggestions, could you add "Themes" to the autoform and background "Image" ?

I can see about background images, but it probably won't happen until after V6 launches. What is your suggested "Themes" option for? If it makes it so it only runs on certain themes, that functionality is already built-in. Just go to Admin > Plugins > Manage and click the Edit button for the plugin - you can set which theme(s) it runs on from there.

I know this option but it would be handsome like 
- bla1 => theme 1 => #242425
- bla1 => theme 2 => #169046

So, if I'm understanding, you'd like to be able to have the same link, but its colors would be applied to specific theme(s) if theme(s) are selected? If so, I can see about those as well - but, I'm going to have to see about help on that as I've never used that option in a plugin before.

This is correct !
Is the code open Somewhere ?
You Can take a look at others's plugins which uses that

Okay, I'll see about adding them in.
No, I don't have that plugin's source code open anywhere at the moment, except on my test forum.
Thanks, but I've got my answer now.

Just note that it may be a bit - as I've got other priorities that are higher than this right now.

Thanks for adding this, MSG!

Two requests, if it is possible:

1. I created a custom page ("Gallery", mywatercolor.proboards.com) and when I go to that page the new Navbar Links button I added "Host Image" goes away. The button is always present when it is run from standard proboards.com nav buttons though.

2. It was requested earlier that a hover be added. The theme that I am using has a shadow appear when the mouse is over the menu option. Can this be added to your plugin? You can see how the hover works on my webpages.

I bet your nav button is being overwritten by my added nav button when you are "in" my Gallery page?

Why proboards.com does not have an option on the menu page, that is a clickable "_blank" option, to run the hyperlink in another tab is kind of silly IMHO.

Thanks again!

1. The plugin uses the existing navigation bar to append new links to it. If that navbar doesn't exist on a page (which it doesn't on custom pages, by default), then there's nowhere for the plugin to append links to. That is expected behavior. It can't append to something that doesn't exist on the page.

2. My first attempts at adding a hover effect didn't turn out so well. This month is busy for me, but my schedule should lighten up considerably in July. I'll take another look at adding a hover feature then. Sorry it can't be sooner, but I don't have much free time until July.

If your Gallery page is a custom page, your button isn't overwriting anything in the plugin, for the reason stated above.

Middle-clicking (or right click > open in new tab) is typically always available to use to open pages in a new tab. I use middle-clicking a lot to do just that.

Glad you like the plugin!

It's really no big thing. And/or when you get too it, it is just fine with me.

Like I mentioned earlier it would be far easier if the _blank was added to the custom page window inside Proboards.com. Your plugin could still be used for custom colors, fonts, etc.

Thanks, MSG!

*Update, MSG:

I added my "Host an Image" hyperlink above the subject line of the New/Edit posts page so I no longer need the "Host Image" menu button. You do not need to tweak anything on my behalf.

Thanks, Man!

I take part of what I said back:

If that navbar doesn't exist on a page (which it doesn't on custom pages, by default)

I just noticed that I have a navbar on one of my custom pages, and the Navbar Links plugin works on it because of the presence of the navbar. So, I'm guessing that you probably didn't set your custom page up to use the Forum Wrapper.

That is correct. My custom page does not have any navbar code in it. I am just using the body of the page for my gallery.

Thanks again for an excellent tool!
