Main Navigation Menu Dropdown

This confirms this issue has nothing to do with this mod. Just wanted to clear that out for others.

I can help you take a look at it and fix it for you. Btw, what's the vB version of your forum?

When you left i had to find a new tech to help me do updates. Its been a while now. Maybe a year ago it was done.

How do I make the fonts in the drop down bold? My forum parent style is not bold but the child is bold.

This mod is still using the old Google Analytics/Ownership workaround to create vBCloud mods instead of using template hooks. So in the Google Ownership/Analytics option,

find:

font-weight:normal!important

and then replace it with:

font-weight:bold!important

Hi Glen,

PHP: 7.4.26 (litespeed)
MySQL: 5.7.36-cll-lve
vBulletin: 5.6.7

This mod has been working great with PHP version 7.4 for a long while on a VPS (Virtual Private Server).

If I enable PHP 8.0 or 8.1 on the testing or live server, then the mod (appears) to be the cause of an exception error when attempting to login to vBulletin as a user.

Error: Undefined constant "title" on line 23 in /home/p3252q2o0ee3/public_html/forums/includes/vb5/template.php(404) : eval()'d code
Step 0: showErrorPage() called on line 382 in /home/p3252q2o0ee3/public_html/forums/includes/vb5/applicationabstract.php
Step 1: handleException() called
Exception Undefined constant "title" on line 23 in /home/p3252q2o0ee3/public_html/forums/includes/vb5/template.php(404) : eval()'d code

Disabling the Main Navigation Menu Dropdown mod clears the exception error.


The error_log when running PHP 7.4 records the following (with the mod running successfully).

PHP Warning:  Use of undefined constant title - assumed 'title' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/p3252q2o0ee3/certifiedfacilitator.com/forums/includes/vb5/template.php(399) : eval()'d code on line 23

Logging into the vBulletin backend AdminCP works fine, just the frontend user accounts that use the mod code.

Would there need to be a mod code update for compatibility with PHP 8.0 and above?

Many thanks.

Alastair

I'll take a look. Thanks for reporting.

[glennrocksvb]

Released v1.6 for PHP 8 support. All customers should receive an email confirmation containing the download link.

[glennrocksvb]

I confirm that the updated code is now working correctly with PHP 8.0.13 & PHP 8.1.2.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I am interested in this menu mod, but I need to be able to link to pages outside vBulletin. Will this work for that? The links will be to other areas of the website.

[glennrocksvb]

Yes you can do that. This mod simply utilizes the existing Navigation Menu Bar administration in Sitebuilder where you can add navigation links that point to internal or external links.

[John Waggoner]

Thanks Glenn,

I will be purchasing this one for sure still looking over others to add to my purchase.

Apologies if this is already posted somewhere, but does this work for VBulletin 6? I remember installing it on a version 5 several years back but that forum moved on .

[glennrocksvb]

The first post indicates it's compatible with self-hosted vB5 and vB6.

• Compatible with vB5 and 6 (self-hosted)
• Not compatible with vBCloud. For vBCloud version, click here.

Yes it works just fine. Glenn has a list of mods that are compatible. Maybe he can find it easier than me

The list that Mitch mentioned is here:
