vBulletin 4.2 - Alpha1 - Navigation Manager

vB4.2 is now public Alpha! and I can now talk about it (I'm on the NDA Alpha test team).

The vBGallery navigation is broken as a result.

I'm going to patch vBgallery for myself (as I've already done for my own add-ons).

I'd be happy to donate the code.
The code will consists of removing the old navigation and replacing it with <navigation> markup in the product file and a small amount of plugin code.

The new Navigation Manger is a big plus in the long term as it makes navigation integration easier for add-on developers.

There is also the new Activity Stream feature.
Ideally new Gallery posts and Comments should flow into this and it has all the hooks needed to do that.

I would recommend a new baseline for PhotoPost vBGallery ... eg. vBGallery v4.0 for vBulletin 4.2+ due to the new Navigation Manager and Activity Stream.

You can gladly create a thread in the mod forum on it and how you do it etc.

I personally probally would not look at things till it was a least a public beta. If they are changing the navigation menu I will eventually have to redo things for the menu.

I would probally do an if conditional like if SIMPLE_VERSION is < 4.2 then do old menu otherwise do the new menu.
