Demo??

[reiyo_oki]

Check my website: dynamic.gamespy.com/~dragonsuprising/ I've customized it a bit, but it uses the same basic code.

EDIT: 2/21/06

I've had a number of people request the newest version of the mod I have, so I'm posting a link to it.

PLEASE NOTE: This version has NOT been validated by the phpBB mod team. I have done my best to eliminate any bugs in the mod, but there may be some that I missed. That being said, you use this at your own discretion/risk.

EDIT: 12/04/06
To fix the Edit Link option, do the following:

OPEN
phpbb_root_path/admin/admin_nav_links.php

FIND

Code: Select all

      if( $mode == "edit" )
      {
         if( $word_id )
         {
            $sql = "SELECT *
               FROM " . NAV_LINKS_TABLE . "
               WHERE link_id = $link_id";


REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

      if( $mode == "edit" )
      {
         if( $word_id )
         {
            $sql = "SELECT *
               FROM " . NAV_LINKS_TABLE . "
               WHERE link_id = $word_id";

The download link for the mod isn't working.

[Chayyiel]

Download works fine.

[Tom_S]

Download works fine.

Then explain why I have been getting this error each of the 70 some odd times I have tried the download?

Thanx

working on an upgrade for it, both aesthetic and use-wise. One of the major parts is the table looks, but I'm also going to move the admin link into the navbar.

Nice MOD! I'm modifying it a bit for my use, but it's a helpful way to move the menu to the side, reserving the menu space for miscellaneous links for my site. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this'll fix this problem, but it may fix many others:

Nope...even Firefox didn't get the job done on that one. Got em all. Dead link is a dead link. No matter. Got it thanks to DaMnY though

I aim to please!

Oh, and any suggestions are always welcome. I was thinking about adding a customizable links block...but that would take a bit more coding than I'd care to do...I dislike making admin modules.

reiyo_oki, this is excellent.

Request - Can you make the sides dynamic? i.e. allow the nav to appear on the left OR the right?

Truth is, the menu is better to be on the right for most people per usability studies. (Yes, I am a freak.) Most browsers have their vertical slide bars on the right side. So your cursor would be be default resting in that area. If you have to go to a different area on the menu, and the menu is on the left side, you have to move the cursor across the whole screen. This is not the case if it is on the right side. Surprisingly, that fraction of a second means annoyance or comfort for many users.

A small boolean switch in the code, to allow it to be on the right side would make this even better! Moving the switch onto to ACP would make it ultimate!
