Known Issues:
- If you are a vbWiki Pro user, and you are getting a "Style has not been updated for Custom Navbits" message in your wiki, see this post: #21
What It Does:
Using a wizard in the AdminCP, allows admins to create a breadcrumb path for the vBulletin navbar that could be practically anything. This is useful for automating navbits on custom pages or anywhere else.
For example: After searching for threads or posts, vBulletin's default lastelement is always "Search Results." However, using this mod, I have been able to change it to "Search Results in Threads" and "Search Results in Posts" respectively.

*This now adds ZERO queries to modified pages, which I figure is the query count we all care about.

- Breadcrumb can use any custom text
- Name your various custom navbit sets
- Use conditionals for further control
- Set execute priority of navbit sets with overlapping conditions
- Navbits immediately updated
- use FORUM_HOME, THIS_PAGE, WIKI_NAME as preset variables
- supports $vboptions, $vbphrase, other variables, and HTML
- Complete support for vbWiki Pro
How many more features can we add to a navbits extension?

As of v1.2.0, just fill in the form!
When using $vbulletin options or $vbphrases, do not use quotes inside the brackets:

Tutorials:
- Introduction to creating custom navbits: Basic Tutorial
- How to exclude a parent forum from multiple subforums at once: Parentlist Tutorial

had been created
