6 Custom buttons / tabs and menu's (upto 4)

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

Link to Mod
This mod will add 6 custom buttons to your forum with customizable sub menus, upto 4 per button, that's a total of 24 customizable links you can add to your forum.
I made this since for the last few weeks, its all I have been hearing in the support forums. Since its similar to another mod, I added more features, like sub menus and an extra button.

The mod lets you enable which ever amount of buttons you need, up to 6. The mod also lets you have upto 4 menu items for each menu, which are also completely customizable.

You can change the label of the button, and the URL.

It would help if:

1. You tell us if you are using 1.1 or 2.0

2. You told us what the exact error is.

Well 6 extra tabs with 4 menu items in each, that could be pretty useful lol

Just to let you know, I will be adding permissions to the buttons in the next version, means you can assign buttons to moderators and other member groups too

[TheListener]

Any idea what the functions would be for the membergroups John?

I have been looking at this as an idea for premium advertising space on the forum.

Adding permissions will make your mod perfect.

Very nice johncccccc. 

What edits can we do to add subs to a button? (I'm trying to only run one button, but with 6-8 subs)
I tried copying #4 in the "$sourcedir/ManageSettings.php" file and setting it as #5 but that didn't work.

Thanks... Ken.

EDIT: NM... found the code.

Well, as for membergroup permissions, it would just be the option to show the button to members in that group or not, nothing more really.

Well, I could probably add more menu items, however, see the background image for them menu does not let enough for a long list of menu items, the bottom of them menu would become transparent, if a custom theme has a black background under the drop down menu, then you will not be able to see the text, until you hover that is.

On the other hand, it is completely possible and will work

By the way..

What exactly did you try to change...

[Ken.]

My first edit was only to the ManageSettings.php file, but after posting I reviewed the xml file and found the other edits that are needed to make the extra subs show up and work in the buttons cp.

My forum already has too many 'main' buttons, that's the reason for attempting to put in the extra subs for this Custom Button.
