Quick Update

Ok guys just a quick update on browser support and and a few specs which i'm sure you'll be deleghted with...

The menu's are fully compatible with every one of the leading browsers,

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/02/32.gif

IE - v5: (Limited)
IE - v5.5,
IE - v6:
IE - v7:
IE - v8:
Firefox - All:
Mozilla - All:
Netscape - v6 & up:
Opera - v6 & Up:
Safari - All:
Goolge (Chrome):

The Code is 100% Pure CSS with optional JavaScript add-on's, now if your worried that a browser may have javascript disabled, fear not, as this is capable of functioning in browsers with their JavaScript disabled :eek:

The code is very easy to edit as its just pure CSS with each section identified, The menu links are simple HTML menu links and can have html mark up included, you won't get confused between the two.

For customised jobs and perhaps a different kind of menu, i can create a new one which will compliment your site, each one takes about 1 to 2 hours work, so a small donation would be appriacated ;) Just PM me and i'll help where i can.

Now everyone can have Top quality Dropdowns on their site :D

Wish v.b 4.0 would include something similar by default

Works well :) but some of the default options are invalid such as Last 24hrs ;)

Not a problem for me as Ive changed them but worth others checking their own installs :up:

Sorry buddy, i was perhaps a little to keen to add loads :D, Perhaps members could change that for something else or even delete it.

I've seen your forum and it does look great, well done ;)

Hi Smsoom, I'm having a fe problems converting the code to right to left, The only way i can do it is by pushing the whole menu to the right, but then that would just mess up with different resolutions, I would be happy to hear if anyone has manged to do this with CSS menus
;)

Hi Katie,

You downloaded the zip file?? Then expand it to your desktop, Use a text editor to open the .txt file and edit it to where you want your links to go, (Your site as opposed to mine)

then save :up:

Copy the whole code and just paste to the every end of your header template of the style your using.

If your still stuck, PM me your site details and i'll do it for you ;)

Hello,

I love this mod that you created. However, I am sort of a noob in making these background images the gif file (center_tile_blue.gif). I wanted to know if you could just help make me a simple gif for my website. It should match the theme of my website (http://www.wheelsbd.com/forum). I also wanted to know if this does work on vbadvanced, photopost gallery and photopost classifieds. I can understand it will work on the forum, so it should work on the gallery and the classifieds scripts since they pull the menu and anything over the vb navbar to those scripts. However, I am not sure if this will work in vbadvanced. Please do let me know if it works without any problems and if possible, just make a random center_tile_blue.gif file for me. I will appreciate it a lot.

Do you think black will look ok? The current navbar I have is black. I can go with the green colour being used in my forums skin as well. You can make it whichever colour you prefer for my skin. Thanks a lot though! and again, thanks for making such a brilliant mod!

Thanks, You can replace the yellow with your sites Green, Its just that i didn't get much time to copy your hex colors.

You've got a great site, hope the menu's work for you

Don't forget to click installed if your happy ;)

Take care

;)

Tauhid 02-09-2009 05:39 PM

thanks for this great hack, my members are absolutely loving it. no complaints so far. even in the cell phone, this seems like a better navigation system. I would recommend vbulletin to adapt this feature in the near future for their default menus. love it!

I would recommend this to anyone that wants to add a dropdown menu, its dead easy to use and pure genius how it works.

Great work UKBL! :up:

Powlo 02-11-2009 03:14 PM

One thing though... How can i center the tabs on the page? They are currently left justified which looks great on a 100% width style but not so great if its a fixed width style with a full width header.

Hope that made sense.

Its best not to center the tabs as thios will mess up on different screen resolutions, I did a menu for a guy who wanted his tabs centrered and in Firefox he was showing two rows of tabs.

I will tell you how to do it but you need to tell me which one your using the blue or the black, then you can test it yourself ;)

Powlo 02-11-2009 05:05 PM

It was the blue that ive used. Thanks UKBL

a marked man 70 02-13-2009 04:32 PM

i am using the black one and i must say it is a brilliant hack.

but i would also like to know how to center the tabs as when you look at my site, www.uwclan.co.uk, you can see a space on the right hand side. if i put another tab in there to attempt to fill the space on the right, it goes on a new line underneath on the left hand side, under the first one.

so i would like to get it so the spacing on either sid of the first and last tab is the same.
many thanks

You will need to edit the Padding in the CSS part of the code, Try changing in steps of 10px, Not sure which one it woiuld be without looking at the code, but a quick way would be to do a printout of the code you have and go through the css and change the padding dimensions, ifit don't work change it back.

The reason i don't do them central is the fact that if someone is viewing with a differnt resolution, then it will throw the menus out, likewise in a different browser.

The way they are made makes them fully compatible with all browsers and resolutions and fully validated, by editing you could lose one or more of those.

Just take it easy, do what you think you would be happy with ;)

Excellent add-on! :up:

I'm getting only one "complaint" from my members though. They would like to reduce the "hang time". I have to admit it is currently annoying me a bit as well. Moving the cursor over the tabs triggers the drop down menu (which is great!) but then the menu "hangs" for a few seconds longer once the cursor is moved away. Any way to adjust the code so the drop down menu goes away as soon as the cursor is moved off of it? I know... it seems petty and truly, I am already almost used to it but some of my members can't seem to get past it.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi SashaCPF

Thanks for the kind words, i understand that perhaps member may get a bit funny about the menu delay but depending on how complicated menus can be i've set the default speed at half a sec (500 millisec's) you can adjust this at the end of the menu code

Code:

<!-- Create Menu Settings: (Menu ID, Is Vertical, Show Timer, Hide Timer, On Click (options: 'all' * 'all-always-open' * 'main' * 'lev2'), Right to Left, Horizontal Subs, Flush Left, Flush Top) -->
<script type="text/javascript">qm_create(0,false,0,500,false,false,false,false,false);</script>

Just change the red 500 for 200 or even 100, that will make it quicker, let me know how you got on ;)

Remember, Lets keep them Members happy :D

Have a Great Weekend ;)

SashaCPF 02-14-2009 02:44 PM

SWEET!! :up: :D Adjusted to 100 and even *I* am happy now!!! :D

Thanks MUCH!! :D
