Add external link on navbar BEFORE usercp link?

kokiri_link · May 29, 2009

Can anyone tell me how to do this? Been struggling for a while, using latest vbulletin with default theme. cheers.

external link as if they press it takes them away from the site?
if so do this. go to admincp > styles & templates > style manager > style > edit style > navbar > scroll down to where it shows the usercp link and right above it put this with your link and name.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.freaky.org" rel="nofollow">Freaky</a></td> and save and your done.

Great, sorry for being such a noob but which exactly is the user cp link? There's loads of user cp bits in that file. Sorry for being such a n00b, but thanks for the help!

it is default vbulletin theme here is the navbar code just replcae your old one with this one.

right after it says nav bar buttons start looking for the word yoursite and replace it with what you want.

All u do is to search for this code in navbar template.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>

and write this code above it..

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.yoursite.org" rel="nofollow">yourname</a></td>

Add external link on navbar BEFORE usercp link?
