Question here too
Using 3.5.4
First off I'm pretty new to all this stuff and vB, been using it about 6 months now. I did a search for what I'm trying to do and it lead me to this thread.
I don't necessarily want an additional navbar, I just want to add an additional drop-down menu to the existing navbar. I sorted thru the txt file you have here and found what I thought would do it, and edited the navbar template.
As you can see in the attached image below it DID make 'Members' a 'title' with the drop-down button beside it. However, nothing happens when you click on it... nothing drops down.
This is my navbar template as it exists.. would someone take a looksey and see if they can figure out what I did wrong?
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grays cale=1)";
if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
{
return true;
}
else
{
ht[0].style.filter = "";
return false;
}
}

Is it because I removed:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>
from the section below?:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
Any help would be appreciated :)
I am not going to go into to much detail here because this thread was designed for supporting this hack.
First you have to know some basic HTML when doing some things like this. When installing hacks they pretty much tell you step by step so little to no html experience is needed at times.
For what you want to do you will need to look through your NAVBAR template and find where you want to drop down menu to be displayed.
This is where you need to know basical HTML because you need to know exactly where to place it.
But this is the code for you will need to place in your NAVBAR for the first part of the drop down menu. You will need to edit this code with the data you want in it.
<!-- Setup for drop down menu #1 in navbar -->
<td id="dropdown1" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#dropdown1">Drop Down Menu Listing #1</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("dropdown1"); </script></td>
<!-- / Setup for down menu #1 in navbar-->
Now you will need to find the location to put the second part of the dropdown code. This is usually under this code somewhere:
<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
<!-- PAENAV POPUP -->
The second part of the code that you want to place will be this. You will need to edit it to what you want in it.
<!-- Drop down for menu #1 in navbar-->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="dropdown1_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td class="thead">Drop Down Menu Listing #1</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="yourlink.com">Option #1</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="yourlink.com">Option #2</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="yourlink.com">Option #3</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="yourlink.com">Option #4</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="yourlink.com">Option #5/a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
If you want to add a second drop down then you can use the same code that you used above but you will have to replace all instances of the following statements in the code for the second dropdown, "#dropdown1" to "#dropdown2". "dropdown1" to "dropdown2", "dropdown1_menu" to "dropdown2_menu".
That is about all I am going to say.
