What it does
This component lets you define a custom navigation bar using two theme settings:
navbar_name
A list of labels that will be displayed in the navbar.
navbar_location
A list of URLs corresponding to each label above.
Example:
The two lists are matched by position, so the first navbar_name entry links to the first navbar_location, and so on. URLs can link to anywhere.
Special cases
- If a user is not logged in, the component automatically uses a default navbar:
About,Rules, andLogin(or optionally hide it for anonymous users) - Any link containing
/adminwill only display for admin users. - The
/messages,/new, and/unreadlocations automatically display notification bubbles showing live counts for new/unread private messages or topics.
Example
With the settings above the navbar will render as:
