Add Items to Mobile Navbar

  • Core/theme extension

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


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.
