The mobile navigation bar only gives direct access to the search function and the default activity feed. Everything else is moved to an off-screen sidebar, which needs to be opened manually every time. With this plugin you can add one or two links to the mobile navbar, for example to:
- make your most important areas (like forums, shop …) more easily accessible on mobile devices
- link partner or social media sites
- add staff links to the admin or mod control panel
- provide more visible login/logout buttons
- …
(make sure your browser window is small enough so the mobile view is used)
What’s needed:
-
A stock theme or a custom theme that uses the mobile navbar icons like the stock theme
(there is no guarantee that this will work on custom themes) - enough space available next to the stock icons
Settings:
- turn link 1 and 2 on or off
- set the static links
- set the FontAwesome icons
- set which groups can see the links
- checkbox to open links in a new window
FAQ:
-
Can I add more than two items?
- It’s limited to two since that is a safe amount on a stock IPS theme.
-
Is this plugin compatible with the Mobile Create plugin?
- Yes, but since that plugin already uses up space, you probably only want to add one addition link.
-
Can I also link pages specific to the user, e.g. the user’s profile page?
- This is not supported currently.
-
Can I use custom images instead of a FontAwesome icon?
- This is not supported currently.
