Question Making A Tab A Drop Tab With vBNavTabs For vB4.2

[Ozzy47]

It is a small process but not to difficult.

1) Create a tab.
2) Create a menu for the tab.
3) Edit the tab and the last setting, "Select The Menu To Act As The Dropdown." select the menu you just created, click on save.
4) Add links to the menu you created, these are what will show up as the dropdown items in the tab.

I am about to pull my hair out with creating Drop-downs with 4.2.x
I know it would be a lot of work but could we get some step by step screen shots with instructions?

Yeah I just uninstalled it.....not because of the drop downs, but because it would require multiple template edits to make it look good with the theme which I'm not good at!

I'm sticking with the regular vbnavtabs (which i love) as i had it set perfectly and I could careless if the tab lights ups lol seems like a useless function anyways! if you don't know what tab your at and need a little light up to tell you then there is something wrong! (not directed at you GoodApples I'm simply referring to pulling pulling hair out and reverting back )

Ozzy47, I'm sorry to be such a pain. I'm probably missing a checkbox or something simple, but I just can't get it to work. I'm including pics to hopefully make things easier here.

1) Create a tab.

2) Create a menu for the tab.

3) Edit the tab and the last setting, "Select The Menu To Act As The Dropdown." select the menu you just created, click on save

4) Add links to the menu you created

^I actually ended up creating two links, after it didn't work with just the first one. Both links were identical, only the display order was changed.

these (links) are what will show up as the dropdown items in the tab.

^All looks good, but when I click on the tab...nothing happens. No dropdown menu, nothing.


Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
