I was able to successfully install CB and CBSubs GPL on my new Joomla 3. site, but then decided to explore the admin menu items. I switched it to table format and now can't access anything in the backend because all other admin content is hidden under the navigation row.

Any idea on how to change to drop-down list via backend code so that I can access my admin site again? :blush:

There must be something simple to change but my mind is mush right now.

Navigate directly to module manager below.

yoursite/administrator/index.php?option=com_modules

Filter the list for Administrator then edit the module back to dropdown.

If you can't even see that then use Chrome or Firebug for Firefox and press F12 to bring up the developer console. Now right click the element that's taking a ton of space and click inspect. Next when it opens it in the DOM inspector right click the element and delete it.

If can't get that working navigate to administrator/modules/mod_cb_adminnav/ and rename mod_cb_adminnav.php to mod_cb_adminnav-DISABLED.php so it can't load in. Now edit the admin nav module parameters in module manager back to dropdown then rename mod_cb_adminnav-DISABLED.php back to mod_cb_adminnav.php.

thank you SO SO SO MUCH! that worked perfectly - I'll have to remember that. Although I use Firebug just never thought to do that - usually use it just to test color and other type styles in css file - but never tried deleting nodes before. Thank you, I learned something today - which is always a good thing!
