Having a slight problem with vbgallery in site navbar on index page all links work with no errors all though when on Gallery index I have 2 links in its navbar still trying to link via /gallery/blogs.php where it should be linking via /blogs.php . I'm also having the same issue with the horoscope hack link that is inserted into navbar or quick links drop down.
Now I have added both area's to the section navbar replacements, ie: blog.php
horoscopes.php and for kicks added to footer and header replacements with still satisfying results. Any assistance would be appreciated and thank you in advance.
 
Here is the skin navbar

Code:

now due to the gallery method I have added the blog nav bar code now when I tried to hard code url in this bottom code i apperently didn't do it correct when viewed in drop down on site code was visible, be first to admit I'm not a pro but have working knowledge. This is the original code not the one i was playin around with.
I was able to get the link to read properly just not sure how to hard code url this properly

Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="vbbloglinks">
	<a href="blog.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[blogs]</a><script type="text/javascript">vbmenu_register("vbbloglinks");</script>
</td>
<td>
	<!-- blog tools menu, placed here due to missing template hook in 3.7.3-->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="vbbloglinks_menu" style="display:none" align="$stylevar[align=left]">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		<tr>
			<td class="thead"><a href="blog.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[blogs]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<if condition="$show['canpostitems']">
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[your_blog]</a></td>
		</tr>
		</if>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=list">$vbphrase[recent_entries]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=list&blogtype=best">$vbphrase[best_blog_entries]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bloglist&blogtype=best">$vbphrase[best_blogs]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bloglist">$vbphrase[blog_list]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<if condition="$show['blog_search']">
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog_search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=search">$vbphrase[search_blogs]</a></td>
		</tr>			
		</if>

Ok well I finally figured this out, now many will not have the same options installed on their sites although I am posting my findings and solutions to fix the problem in hopes this may help another.

When I was in gallery the links for Horoscope and Blogs in my Navbar where not showing correctly and transferred me to 404. Now for what ever reason setting these 2 .php files into Navbar Replacements would not work so I had to hard code address in the Blog Navbar which is listed below for convience to others just need to change the YourSiteHere to of course your site.

Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="vbbloglinks">
	<a href="http://www.YourSiteHere.com/blog.php$session[sessionurl_q]"">$vbphrase[blogs]</a><script type="text/javascript">vbmenu_register("vbbloglinks");</script>
</td>
<td>
	<!-- blog tools menu, placed here due to missing template hook in 3.7.3-->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="vbbloglinks_menu" style="display:none" align="$stylevar[align=left]">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		<tr>
			<td class="thead"><a href="http://www.YourSiteHere.com/blog.php$session[sessionurl_q]"">$vbphrase[blogs]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<if condition="$show['canpostitems']">
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.YourSiteHere.com/blog.php?u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[your_blog]</a></td>
		</tr>
		</if>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.YourSiteHere.com/blog.php?do=list">$vbphrase[recent_entries]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.YourSiteHere.com/blog.php?$do=list&blogtype=best">$vbphrase[best_blog_entries]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.YourSiteHere.com/blog.php?do=bloglist&blogtype=best">$vbphrase[best_blogs]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.YourSiteHere.com/blog.php?do=bloglist">$vbphrase[blog_list]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<if condition="$show['blog_search']">
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.YourSiteHere.com/blog_search.php?do=search">$vbphrase[search_blogs]</a></td>
		</tr>			
		</if>
		</table>
	</div>
	<!-- / blog tools menu -->	
</td>

Now for the Horoscope Hack this need to be done via the plug in Plugin Managaer/Product : Advanced Horoscopes Hack/PARSE TEMPLATES. Once again hard coding the web address needed to be done here.
Cope of mine below with necessary changes once again edit to your site.
Code:
if ($vbulletin->options['automatic_link_creation'] == 1) 
{ 
    $template_hook['navbar_buttons_left'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.YourSiteHere.com/horoscopes.php?'.'">'.$vbphrase['horoscopes'].'</a></td>'; 
} 
if ($vbulletin->options['automatic_link_creation'] == 2) 
{ 
    $template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'] .= '<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.YourSiteHere.com/horoscopes.php?'.'">'.$vbphrase['horoscopes'].'</a></td></tr>'; 
}

Hope this is helpful to another
 
You might find the same problem with the login on vbgallery, unfortunately, its not as smart as vbadvanced cmps and it requires full paths to be hard coded else the ubiquitous 404
 
Thanks for the added info bluescorpion could you please tell me what template or plugin needs to be altered. I just noticed if I goto the Gallery and then out I am logged out of Vbulletin is this what you referring to or could this be a cookie issue?
 
Ok figured that out had to use the tools.php and update cookies via that php as well as added the session[sessionurl_q] to the first to hard coded links also ajusted it in the upper thread
