Sub-Forum Dropdown Menu

[JAuthement]

This is NOT my creation but it has yet to be posted in the vBulletin 3.6 Template Modifications Section. This mod was originally posted in the 3.5 Section by DanLai https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99821

I have though tweaked it a bit for use with vB 3.6.x

Description. This is a Mod to make sub-forums appear in a drop-down menu fashion.

1. +/- sign for forums with/without unread posts

Step 1. Open:
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:
Code:
<strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]

Replace with:
Code:
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->
<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="get">
<input name="s" value="" type="hidden">
<input name="daysprune" value="-1" type="hidden">
<select name="f" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<option value="$forum[forumid]" selected><strong>Sub Forums</strong></option>
$forum[subforums]
</select>

</form>
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

Step 2. Open:
forumhome_subforumbit_nopost
forumhome_subforumbit_post

Replace the templates with:
Code:
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->
<option value="$forum[forumid]">

<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == 'new'">
+&nbsp;
<else />
-&nbsp;
</if>

$forum[title]

</option>
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

Very nice! Thank you!

[Tygerwoody]

mod isn't working for me for some reason. Is there something I have to do to "turn it on"? This is the first mod I have ever had problems with. I currently have about 12 mods now.

[Tygerwoody]

nm works now :)

[4x4 Mecca]

Installed and working fine. Is there a way to get this to display in forumdisplay also? So in my forum, I can have a drop down of it's sub forums.

[rapidphim]

Yes you can
Repeat Step 1 for the following:

forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

Step 2. Open:
forumhome_subforumbit_nopost
forumhome_subforumbit_post

and replace the code with the following:
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->
<option value="$forum[forumid]">

<if condition="$forum[depth] == '2'">
&nbsp; &nbsp;
</if>
<if condition="$forum[depth] == '3'">
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
</if>

<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == 'new'">
+&nbsp;
<else />
-&nbsp;
</if>

$forum[title]

</option>
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

That should fix you up

[4x4 Mecca]

Thanks! I'll go try that.

[4x4 Mecca]

That didn't quite do what I was hoping. What I want is say I'm viewing my forum called "Hang Out" and there are sub forums below that such as introductions and the arcade. Well when you are viewing the actual forum the hang out, instead of seeing the usual big bulky display of subforums on top, I'd like a small drop down, where ever I decide to place it. This is a mock up that I did. I like the location. :)

[Hollister]

how do i change this so instead of "sub forums" being the first word you see in the dropdown,instead its whatever the first sub forum is.

Also how would i edit the code so it only appears for certain forums.

[momo2]

how can i have set for some area ? i got a hugeeeeeeeeeeeeee forum with min 20 to 30 subs
its will be crazy if i add this... but for some area with 1-5 subs will look ok

[miner]

Nice hack installed

[Evolution06]

Nice hack installed! Really helps if you plan to have alot of subforums, But how do you get the drop down in the same line as the forum name? Like you have in your screen shot. Right now mine is below forum description.

[Roughnek29]

Not working for me? What am I doing wrong?

[Losha]

In step 1:

<strong>Sub Forums</strong>

Here just change it to anything you want =)

Not for me either. The forums do not show up in the pull down list.

[Triky]

Thank you, I think I will use this one on my web site! :)

[Ksb2050]

This isnt working. All I get is a + sign with the parent forum name? What am I doing wrong??


Parent Forum: CLub House
what I see instead of the dropdown: - Club House

[iogames]

Interesting! but no quite sure :(

[Harley D]

Interesting, however too many folks having issues.
Will check this out later to see if things get resolved.

[UpGrayeDD]

I had the same problem that everything shoed up but when u click the drop down no sub forums are in it. I even tried changing how many sub forums shows in vboptions, didn't work.

[Pirat3]

Dosnt work for me at ALL. I can see the drop down when I click "preivew" but not on forums it self. I am guessing a mod is causing it, maybe VBa?

[Pirat3]

Ah figured it out, if it does not work for you, enable forum depth::

Increase the subforum depth:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options -> Depth of Sub-Forums

[Leo Brazil]

I've just installed this mod and does work great.

But I was wondering how about about to add some color on it ? I mean, the background is white and looks flat. I wish I had this dropdown menu just looking like the dropdown menu on navibar, that would really great.

If someone can give any tips I'd be glad.

Tks.

How come I dont see no sub-forum drop down menu?

[Weston]

i did it and its not working what do i have to do its not showing up at all

[pooffck1]

hi, fantistic hack. I wanted to ask u something about re-aligning the subforum drop down menu! , how can i move to the left a bit?

[Harley D]

At first I couldn't get this mod to work, but after playing with the Display Settings, I finally got it working!

In order to get this mod to work "For those having problems"... Try the settings below...

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options ->

Depth of Forums - Forum Home set to 1

Depth of Forums - Forum Display Set to 1

Depth of Sub-Forums Set to 2

Please post if this works for you.

I also would prefer the dropdown to the right of the Forum Title rather than below. If I manage to make the change, I'll post it.
