[Forum] Problem with Navigation Manager

[mlb]

I just upgraded from 4.1.12 to 4.2.0. I'm trying to get what shows up when the user hits the "What's New" link to look somewhat similar to what I see here on this forum. I'd like it to show links for "Activity Stream", "New Posts", and "Forums Read" ... but after I make what appear to be the appropriate changes in the Navigation Manager, the correct links do not appear. I have included a few snapshots of what I'm talking about. Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or need to do in order to accomplish this? Thanks!

Here's a shot of my Navigation Manager settings:



And here's a shot of my forum after clicking on "What's New":

Create a new style with no parent:

• Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
• Parent Style: No Parent Style
• Title: Default vBulletin
• Allow User Selection: Yes
• Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - can you see the links now?

I did the above on my TEST FORUM on a different domain - and then when I switch to the newly-created "Default vBulletin" style you had me create, then I do see the links as they should appear.

How do I get this to look right on a style other than the one I just created? Should it not always behave the same for all styles, based on the Nav Mgr settings?

Okay - I am working fine now. I forgot to go into AdminCP -> Options -> Style & Language Settings, and then set my new Style as the Default Style. My bad - sorry!

Glad you got it fixed.

I have two styles/skins (no idea what they're called actually) and the default one does not show the tabs added with Navigation Manager. Our custom one does.

How do I make the Navigation Manager work for all Styles?

You would need to revert the navbar template in the style that it isn't working in- but reverting a template will lose all/any customization you've made- it is the customization that is breaking it in the first place.

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> (Broken Style) -> Edit Templates, find the navbar template and click the "Revert" button. Perhaps make a copy first (just copy the template code into notebook) in case you want to go back.

Would this be the correct one?

[Hartmut]

No, try the red marked 'navbar' template (take care of that you'll lose any customization you've made to it)

Hi,

That seems to have worked without any problems (that I've noticed :P ) Thanks.

By the way, any time we make changes to the tabs, do you we need to perform that action?

Thanks in advance!

No, just this once.
