thanks

Thanks Oly, works great!

This is a problem with the vB core. The forum jump menu is showing for the same reason that the 'register' link is not showing and the 'search' dropdown is showing instead of just a link to the search page. If, after logging out, you go to the forum home page, you will get the register link, as well as just the 'search' link instead of a drop-down.

But in any case, this is *not* a problem, since the *only* way to get to that page and view the forumjump dropdown, is to actually have the privileges and then log out.

There's not much I can do about it, since at that point the vB core code tells me that the user is still a member-- ie the $show[member] variable still evaluates to true.

For those of you who installed this with vBa, there is now a setting to add a relative URL to prepend to the links, so you don't have to hack the files.

@Smoothie. I've done some testing and I think the latest version (1.0.6) should fix your problem. Overwrite the old version with this one, then in the settings, choose not to auto-display the menu, then in your templates, add $forumjumpmenu where you want the menu to appear.

Ok, given it another shot.

works, somewhat. Link appears in header, dropdown works, but for some reason it displays under the navbar..It's installed on site, check it out.

Would you be so kind as to try this?

trying now.

It's installed, but it does not work as well as 1.0.6. It throws all the other links out of wack and it's still under the navbar.

It must be an issue with the fact that the (hidden) dhtml menu is output right beside the menu link, instead of at the bottom of the template, like with the standard menus. Would you like to try one other tweak to see if that's the problem?

hope you got a look because I'm uninstalling this last version you posted for me.

sure.

Try this, and put $forumjumpmenu where you want the menu displayed, and put $forumjumphidden down at the bottom of either your header or navbar templates where it says <!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS --> by default that's in the navbar template.

For the link dropdowns in the header to work correctly I have to add the id # to my css class. Example,
margin-top: -128px;
margin-left: -50px;

Not sure why the forumjump is displaying under the navbar

Added like this, in navbar template, still no luck. I'm using the version you posted a few posts above:

ok, let me try what's posted in post 93

Looks like we're 95% of the way home.....give it a look.

It's a forum jump allright, it jumped about 200 pixels down from where it should be :) That must be related to the

margin-top: -128px;
margin-left: -50px;

you were talking about. try adding that for this id as well and you should be set.

EDIT: The link id is navbar_forumjump and the hidden menu's id is navbar_forumjump_menu

EDIT2: Also be sure and add the vertical bar divider between the forum jump menu and the Register link :)

Jumping for sure. Whats the id name?

Bingo! You win. Nice work. Strawberry Smoothie, eh? LOL

quick question. when set to "Show Link to Last Post in Forum", hovering over the link gives me a $vbphrase[go_to_last_post]

Thanks, forgot about that.

Any word on why this is happening:

since the problem seems to be viewing the forum jump menu after a user logs out, and is sent to the login.php page automatically, can't you just add this conditional around the code?
and it actually IS a problem, because as I pointed out, guests can view the moderator only forums - that pic I posted was a registered user account, not my admin account, and as you can see the moderator forums are visible to guests - I do not want that.

Fixed in 1.0.7 (also includes the fixes from the strawberry smoothie 'release')

Hmmm, how are you only displaying the menu to your mods? The plugin only has a setting for displaying to logged in members or to everybody.

That being said there is still no problem, since each user will only see the forums that they have permission to see (just like when viewing the forum home page). And even with out the conditional I added, no user could see any forums they didn't already have permission to see, since the user (with proper permissions) would have to be logged in first, then log out to see the page from your screenshot. Unless of course a moderator logged out, left their browser window open, and then a regular user sat down at the same computer and look at the menu. And even in that case, they could only see the forum titles, and wouldn't be able to enter the forums.

In conclusion, guests can't see your moderator forums. :)

Always fun getting ignored. :(

Well, that is the problem - I think you are misunderstanding me - I did not create an option to only show this to guest or to mods, etc. - the menu displays forums that the guests shouldn't see - the moderator forums - upon logout in the "Forum Jump" menu on the "login.php" page, which is what I have been saying all along. I guess I am the only one having this problem, so I will drop it.

WOOT! I just installed 1.0.7 and it is all fixed - thanks much!

Sorry, it wasn't on purpose. :(

If you're running vB 3.6.8 and import/overwrite the product with version 1.0.7 it should show up by default.

It looks like you have some other mods that quite possibly use the same template hook $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] probably one of those is overwriting the contents of the template hook instead of adding to it.

I looked at your source code and the hidden menu is actually there, just the link that is attached to the navbar is missing.

Try one of these options:
1. Fix the offending mod(s).
2. Try putting the forumjump menu on the right side of your navbar (in the options)
3. Try manually adding the $forumjumpmenu and $forumjumphidden variables to your templates
4. Change the execution order of the plugins that muck with the $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] variable and put the forumjump menu plugin last (give it a high execution number), so that if another plugin is overwriting the variable, the forumjump will be added last.

NOTE: This issue is cleared up in version 1.0.7, with a workaround for the fact that vB doesn't update the logged in status for the logout page before the plugin code is called.

Yes, you are correct, forums that guests shouldn't see are (were in v. 1.0.6) displayed on the forumjump menu when a moderator logs out. BUT, if a guest browsed to the login.php page, they would NOT see the forumjump menu. The only way someone could see it would be to actually log in, and then log out. After you log out, if you hit refresh to re-load the login.php page, the forumjump menu would disappear. So, guests never were able to see forums they didn't have permission to see. I just wanted to clear that up. :)

excellent update, thank you.

My members love it. Had a couple of requests from them asking if is was possible to have forums with unread posts highlighted (bold or italic).

okay installed & thank you

however, it's not showing up. (i've looked through this thread for answers, but cannot make sense of anything. cannot find the template hook navbar at all)

i think i might need 'beginner's advisement' on this one, if you can

Go to the product's options page and follow the instructions in the help items. (the little question mark icon.).

If the automatic display is not working, set it to not automatically display, and then insert these two variables into your templates:

$forumjumpmenu -- where you want the menu to appear.
$forumjumphidden -- at the bottom of the same template.

Not a bad idea. I'll take a look at it when I get a chance, but if it requires extra queries, I probably won't add it. (right now the product doesn't add any extra queries.)

thank you analogpoint for reiterating the instructions, and again for the hack - indeed works well!

Question, which I also asked in the other mod you have, login popup. When I include the vertical pipe between these links, the | shows when the link is not visible. How to include the separator when links are not shown?

In your templates, wherever you have the pipe character, just wrap it in a conditional: :)

That didn't quite work. I have the fj disabled for guests, but the pipe still shows.

This is what I have in the header template:
