modify navbar dropdowns?

[gakz]

Here is my navbar template.... I can't seem to find the area the pertains to the styling that the community, forum actions, quicklink uses. I wanna change it to use the tools menu stylevars (or find which style var changes it currently, b/c my popupmenu changes do not do anything)

Thanks!

If I use my browser 'find' option and enter in "community" or "action" or "quick", I can find the dropdown for any of those items. Try it.

[gakz]

I can't figure out which one changes the style var that determines the dropdown's set up though..

Is it the li class? the ul class? the vb: raw template_hook.navbar.....

That is what I am unsure on

[Lynne]

I don't understand what you mean. If we look at "community", you find this - the stuff in red is the dropdown link you click and all the <li> under it (that I didn't quote) are the links in the dropdown:
<vb:if condition="$show['communitylink']">
<li class="popupmenu">
<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl" accesskey="6">{vb:rawphrase community}</a>

[gakz]

Yes I see... Is the <li class="popupmenu"> the part that determines the style var it uses?

[Lynne]

I'm not sure what you mean. That is just the class. Sometimes the class name is used in the stylevar name also if they are related.

[gakz]

I'm trying to find out the style var that is used to modify those menu's dropdown style. So I can either change the style or modify it to use the tool's menu dropdown style

[gakz]

Anyone?

[Lynne]

You can easily find these in firebug. How To: Find the correct StyleVar/LayoutVar to edit (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?342847-How-To-Find-the-correct-StyleVar-LayoutVar-to-edit) Have you tried that?

[gakz]

I got it now thank you very much lynne! Very helpful forum here (way more than vbulletin.com)
