Sure, Thanks for the Heads up i'll have to add that :eek:

A super quick way to view if the menus are compatible is to download the code, Open the code in notepad or similar and then click Save as and save it as Menu.html to your desktop

You'll then be able to click on that, using whatever browser you want to check compatibility

Easy ;)

Very nice, I love it! But is there any way this can replace the navbar, but not completely? Here's a small example. (check attachment).. The only issue with of what I tried is that it completely streched the whole page.

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean, I guess if you added all the navbar items that you can onto it you could remove those links from the navbar and just keep the plain navbar on show ??

I'm not 100 percent sure as i've not looked at it as a replacement for the navbar, But experiment by all means

What did you mean that it streched the whole page??? did it make the page wider than it was???

A working link might help us to help you ;)

The link is http://forum.esforces.com , once registered you can change the theme to "ESF Style (OLD VERSION)". Or once registered, simple use http://forum.esforces.com/?styleid=1 .. The reason why you have to log in is then you will see the issues. But yes, I wish it to replace the whole navbar menu, but only the menu part.. The username as shown on the screenshot should stick around. I also have noticed that I removed the quick login by overwriting everything in the navbar.

What I wish to do is the following:

USERNAME:
YOUR MENU <- replacing the navbar.
THE FORUMS

Once logged out, it should showing something else ^_^.

As I noticed your menu sticks around while logged out. I don't think this should happen? Any possible way to change the menu depending in what usergroup you are or being logged out? So it shows other links?

You can use conditionals around individual menu tabs ;)

Nice work :)

Thanks ;)

Hail, UKBusinessLive!

I want to use your great work, highly impressed by the results others have gotten :D, and in fact did. BUT I ended up with a mess, with all the dropdowns permanently hanging open. :eek:

I'm using FireFox 3.1 Beta 2, but the result is also the same with IE7.

I followed your instructions, modified your code, uploaded the images, correctly referenced them, and pasted the whole text at the end of the header Template in vBulletin 3.8.1. I am also using vBAdvanced CMPS.

A screenshot and the code in header that produced it are attached.

What happened?? Could you please point out what I'm doing wrong?? :erm:

I sure appreciate your help. :)

Wow it its a mess :eek:

Best thing you can do is to

Write down wgat menus tabs you need and their sub menu's don't forget their urls and PM me those detail and i'll take a look when i get back home from work.

In the mean time, Delete what you've done, and have a go uploading the file as it is and tell me if that works.

Thanks ;)

ACK! :o

I figured it out...

When I copied/pasted the text from the edited text file--using Notepad with word wrap on--it entered an extra CR/LF on all your nice code lines.... I figured that out when I reread the text file I'd attached.

erp... :o:o:o

It now works fine, having turned off word wrap, copied, and pasted...

I see that someone else had that problem.

You may want to add a bit to your instructions.... Maybe something like this...

Sorry for wasting your time! :rolleyes:

And thanks again for the great help you've given us all for making our boards much more functional. Enjoy that beer money. :D

************* Edit ***********
Thanks again. Here're the results. I'm about to abandon the original Header navbar completely! :D
The Sentinels

Well thank you Sir, firstly i'm glad you managed to sort the problem out, Just got in from work just now so its been a long day for me :o, I'll add that about the word wrap to the first post shortly ;)

Secondly, Thanks for the donation :eek::D, It was a nice suprise this morning when i read my emails, makes these hacks and the support all worth while. So thanks for that.

:D

UPDATE 23.02.09

For some of you Admins who prefer menu Buttons as opposed to a menu bar, i've made some buttons based on the above menu format, You can install it by following the same instructions as the main install, Just upload the graphics and edit your menu links and thats it.

Experiment with the css to change colors width of boxes etc, Add more or as little as you want, the important thing is to have fun learning.

As always, post here if you want help i'll help where i can :D

The Zip file is in the Download section in the first post ;)

Enjoy :D

Installed!

This is the site: http://www.fuzzy-village.de and http://forum.ahfd.org

Thanks UKBusinessLive

Hi PeterXP.

Your menu's look brilliant, but i'm suprised to see that you have a menu link to ModCP and AdminCP on view to guests and non registered :eek: if you leave them on show people will try and guess.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/03/12.png


This can't be secure so you'll need to add a conditional around that menu link like this


where x and x is your usergroup ID for Amin and Mods

Don't forget to add the end statement at the end


Look below at the example

Once again a smashing improvement, Well done

Thanks for your note, have changed :eek:

Very Nice mate installed Thanks you ROCK!

Thank You Sir :)

Nice another update. :>
I have a question. Will such menu actually slow down the forum?
At the moment, my forum is a little laggy.
And i'm not sure what caused it. Maybe i have too many mods installed.

Hi there, this looks good but I have stuggled a little playing with the examples.

I was trying to create nested lists so I get popouts like one of the examples.

When going to a main menu can the very first item in the list have a popout with it?

In the example when I copied settings and options that has a popout to be the very first item in the menu everything went wrong on the rest of the menu.

Validation broke too.

i hope i've made sense what I was trying to do. :)

The menu's don't slow your system down at all, so not sure what the problem could be?? :confused:

Do you mean another menu block from the first dropdown block ??

Can I use this mod to just to create dropdowns for the meanu I already have instead of creating a new menu style? Also, in the area(when logged in) whenre it shows number of PMs you recieved to have a drop down there too. Like here.. http://www.forumcoding.com

You could try and use parts of the code however having said that i can't really advise on other menu's structures. :erm:

Will see what i can do with it but for me, it would be enough if I could atleast get it to work like here on VB.org, where you can click on user cp and see a list of options.

Thanks

You can do most of that with my menu ;) Good luck either way :up:

Nice work!

Sup dude is there anyway i can center the text on the bar so there is a equal space at both ends

Cheers

Hi Mike

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, Internet problems :mad:

Anyway sorted now :D

You can actually adjust the padding at the begining of the css to make the tabs wider, But as for centering the whole menu i wouldn't advise to it as different resolutions will give a distorted menu bar and possibly a menu bar to top of another.

Without changing the padding at css level your guaranteed to have the menu OK on ALL Browsers, Change the padding and you may find problems.

;)

thanks bro.
great share...

Yo bro if i was off to try to center it any idea where i would start ive seen some have done it fine

Cheers

I cannot give instructions to center the menu bar as this will mess up the css and will appear distorted when viewing with other browsers, Feel free to do as you wish but i can't explain something that i can't guarantee. I hope you understand where i'm coming from ;)

Sorry mate i cant find this my skills in CCS sucks if you have time fancy showing me the bit i need to change

Cheers

Will have a look for you mike, ;)

Thanks mate your a star ;)

never mind read the post above

The only way you can make the tabs central is by extending them the full width of your forums

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/01/29.png

you need to find this in the CSS

and change the padding and margin (in Red) to a higher value.

The only problem you have then is that it will be set to your resolution, people with other screen resolutions will just see a mess, or the menu bars on two rows.

i did state before the reson its coded like it is, is that it will work in all resolutions and in All Browsers, Changing the above will create problems when viewing, thats why i don't recommend it.

Thanks ;)

I love this hack, I actually replaced my navbar, after adding this to the header. Thanks for this one!

How can I add a link to mark forums read? Trying to replace the old navigation bar.

Is there a way to add a different drop down menu to one of my additional CMPS pages?

The Is there any way to make one of the sections just a button/link and not a drop down menu? If so, how?

How can I make certain links open in a new window?

Also, I love the color of the bar, but is there any way to change just the color of the actually drop down menus?

So is there a way for us to adjust our forums, as opposed to the MOD, so that this is centered and our forums do not require scrolling on any resolution monitor?

Hi

All those points have been covered already, I will answer them below...

I love the color of the bar, but is there any way to change just the color of the actually drop down menus?

The first half of the code is the css, You can change different colors by simply changing the hex numbers - background-color:#000000;

there are serveral hex number referances in the css, that do different parts of the menu, Change the ones you need.

How can I make certain links open in a new window?

Below is a link from a Menu Structure

To get the link to open in a new browser window, what you do is add the target="_blank" attribute to your link tag, like this in your Menu Links area

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/01/30.png

Is there a way to add a different drop down menu to one of my additional CMPS pages?

Not sure what you mean by this? If your saying that you want to add a second different menu altogether then you can if you add it to the CMPS header, If you want simply to add a further menu item or new tab, then you simply copy a menu block from the code and paste it underneath the last menu block in the code, Below is a menublock you can use, just edit the links to your requirements

The Is there any way to make one of the sections just a button/link and not a drop down menu? If so, how?

if you simply want a button/link without dropdowns then just get the first part of the code

[CODE]Delete the menu dropdown links below it, thats all these..

and then you need to add your link to the menu tab so from this

you need to add your url here (In Red)

How can I add a link to mark forums read? Trying to replace the old navigation bar.

To make a link that when people press it will make all forums read, you'll need to add a url like this to the menu

don't forget to change yourforum.com to the name of your own forum ;-)

I hope thats answered your questions,

;-)
