How can i get rid of the extra blank space on my forms, works great but would be nicer if i could save a little space on this

how do i get rid of the gaps :mad:

thanks

I tried to get this hack to work, and just could not succeed as something in the database seems to stop the hack working.

I have come to this conclusion in the following way.

I did a clean install of vbulletin as a test with no entries in the database, installed the dropdown hack and it worked first time.

However when i then edited config.php and changed the database back to my real populated database, the drop down disapeared!

Any ideas as this one has been driving me nuts.

Thanks

Great hack!

Only problem I can see is for macintosh users. The moderator popup in 7 point is unreadable and worse is the extra inch of space to the left of the image and popup in that part of the table.

Anyone see this or have a fix? I can't figure out how to cure this on the mac w/out affecting the pc.

Nice :) I just got vbulletin an hour ago and it's very easy to install!

Easy! Thanks!

I changed the background color of the drop box, but how do I get the font to be white.

Background = #003366
Font - #FFFFFF

Could somebody help? This is in the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template. I edited the background color by changing the bold background part below
to the color I wanted (#003366). NOW how do I change the color (when not selected) to white, but keep when selected white too? Thanks.

try this...

IT WORKED!!!

Now, ONE (or a few) final question(s).

Can I get the arrow you click on the background color too? The color I want is #003366

ALSO (lol, want it perfect), when you scroll your mouse over a name the background around it turns blue with the dots around it. Can I have that blue as a certain color too (#003366)?? THANKS TO ANYONE WHO CAN DO THIS.

GO TWIG DEEZ. You're awesome.

i'm not so certain, but i believe that's your system colours;
like, whatever your menu selection colour is on your computer,
that's the highlight colour on the drop down menu.
same with the arrow... that's the 3d object colour on your system.

control panel > display > appearance.

i'm not sure if there's a way to override those,
and if there is... i don't know it. sorry!

This hack is the first time I ever installed one and with the help of a couple of kind people I was able to get it to work (I am a newbie). I do have a question. I would like my drop down boxes to be uniform in width but they are not depending on the length of my moderators usernames. My problem is not with the max length (it works fine with the longer usernames) its with the drop down menus that only have mods with short usernames are not as wide as the ones with the long usernames. In my way of thinking I need to code it so the drop down box has to be a certain width so all of the boxes are uniform. Can anyone help me with this?

Me Again :D

U could change "moderator" to the width of your longest name from your moderators so that the widths are identic:

Could you explain that in a little more detail?

Look at this site as example:

http://forums.411hype.com/

He changed "moderator" to "411's Moderators" so that all the dropdown boxes has the length of "411's Moderators".

If i check your forum then i c that the longest moderator is "bluegrassfootballfan", now change "moderator" to a title thats longer then that name and all the dropdown boxes are uniform in width.

Change "moderators" to "BluegrassPreps Moderators" and you will c what i mean ;)

Thanks for taking the time to help me out. Looks and works great!

hi
I installed the hack, but It's works only for 50%.
I copyed the code exactly but at one forum he gives just the old style.
see screenshot please.

does anybody now what the problem here is?

If u readed the whole thread then u knew your problem already :p

Here:

its says in the instructions:


Now do the same for the template: forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

Done :D

exuses :rolleyes:
I sow it to late.

thx anyway :up:

Great and simple hack !!
Just something: if I hadn't no moderators for one area, should be too difficult to hide the entire drop-down box ?
How ?

Thanks.

Not working... :( I'm running 2.2.3, and I get the box...but no names can be clicked when dropped...and a java error if I use my mousewheel to scroll down...

^ bump ^

works great, tight hack.. but um is there a way you can remove this the little picture and what would i change to make it say "HHT Mods" instead of "moderators"?

Nice hack.. have it installed and working fine on 2.2.5.. I took the advice of people here about adding it to forumdisplay_forumbit_level1_post and it made it show when i went into a sub category .. however if that subcategory has a subcategory (little confusing yet?) you also have to modify forumdisplay_forumbit_level2_post ... then it will work ..

If ya don't know what i'm talkin about with the subcategories.. then I'll try to explain.. for forumdisplay_forumbit_level1_post that works for something like General>Subcategories(two level tree) .. and the level 2 is for like General>Subcategories>with one having a subcategory(three level tree) .. i kno that does't explain it too much.. but I tried.. lol .. anywas.. edit both of those templates.. along with the ones stated in the .txt file and the hack will work in all sections.

btw.. i added an updated .txt with the instructions i was talking about.

Thanks, I did have a problem but it was me not reading things correctly. Now it works great.

Thanks

Ok I installed the hack and it works fine with one exception.

When i enter a sub forum it shows the drop down fine but its blank. Even tho im set to be a mod.

What I did:
I modified forumbit lvl1 & 2 post and forumhome lvl1 & 2 post then I edited my forumhome_moderator and my forumbit_moderatedby. I then modifies the header as instructed. I went over it and redid it 3 times. Still I get the same results.

http://www.molecularedesigns.com/VB-...php3?forumid=2

as u can see there .. No mods are visible even tho I am a mod *_*

Please help?

Is there any way to make it so the drop down does not display in forums where there are no moderators assigned?

i still cant get this to work in my sub forums. and i have added it to both 2post and 1post.

nevermind i got it working

i read the thread and didnt see the code for putting this in sub forums. whats the cod e?

can someone please help?

Schorsch

Just checking :cool:

cu
Schorsch

Easy, easy install! :D

Works great with V2.2.6

Yes!! :) Seems like a popular modification, I'm just glad everyone is using this hack. I have always like that mod on ubb, and thought I would design it for vbulletin. Never thought it would be used this much. Good To See this mod heavily used on forums. If there isn't a version that is compatible with this hack, then I will be sure to update it. So don't worry..

Maybe I'll design a forum image hack, is there one out there? If so please leave a link.
