FINAL UPDATE: so it looks like i fixed whatever the hell i did. i literally took out about 10 white spaces and saved. next thing i know it's working. i think i got lucky, but if you can verify why that is the case, that would be great as i am still learning all this coding stuff.

now all i have to do is customize the drop down menu, but as of right now, i am loving the way it looks and works.
thanks.

Glad you managed to get it working :D

For any code to work be it HTML or Javascript it always pays to Keep the code clean and tidy, Having masses of white space and large gaps in any code won't do it justice. In fact i think if you look back in all the replies here someone else had the same problem ages ago.

I knew we'd get there in the end ;)

Shouldn't http://www.opencube.com/ at least get a mention here? Using the online demo you can really see the tweaks available for use. Thanks UKBL for the menu idea, it's great. OpenCube does deserve some credit for this I think. That software is not free.

I'm sure if so it's just a slight oversight on UKBL's behalf unless after purchase you are allowed to use personally & commercially and then it would be allowed for him to do this as it is a single menu (or in this case several styles) but not the ACTUAL software that generates the codes. Use is determined by the softwares Terms of Service or Use and I bet UKBL is following those, I have known him since he started on here and he did not get as far as he has now by being mischevious ;).

This question has already been answered here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....4&postcount=35

whilst opencube are great at what they do, I Pay for a licence which allows me to create and distribute Royalty and Copyright free menus that i have created, Thus the copyrigh remains with me as the author.

Today i wrote a letter to the Bank Manager using MS Office, But i'm not going to Praise Microsoft just because i used their software to type a letter.

Quote:

Unlimited Sites - A single user may create unlimited menus for an unlimited number of websites, without restriction. A single unlock code activates the software for any web site!

Nothing Hidden, Safe Commercial Licensing, QuickMenu does not use any behind the scenes hidden links or attempt to contact other servers to validate the purchased license. Copyright notices and text descriptions about OpenCube are not saved to your pages when publishing menus

Open cube is a proffessional application, just like photoshop is to web designers and graphic artists. I just wish you could purchase it outright as opposed to having a subscription :(

Hope this covers everything ;)

Hey Buddy

Glad you liked the centre tip, Not sure what to say about why the bar hasn't extended :eek:

You could try and make the bottons a bit wider to compensate??

;)

UKBusinessLive 06-01-2009 04:15 PM

You add this at the very begining

Code:

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center"><tr><td>
then your menu bar code

Then this at the end

Code:

</td></tr></table>
That should do it :o

Marked as Installed, Nominated, 5 star.

Thanks UK, this is a great snippet of code and will make my life a lot easier, especially integrated with vba with navbar turned off. I'm working on a new site and to have those great links + garage / arcade / photo's / etc. all available just under the logo really is a nice bonus. Great work, much appreciated!

shinng 06-03-2009 05:27 AM

not really a support question since you helped me out previously, but more of a suggestion needed from you.

if you check out my forum, i used your spiffy little drop down menu and also kept the navbar. however, the more i look back at my forum, the more i ignore the drop down menu and my eye goes to the navbar menu instead. do you have any suggestions on how i can make the drop down menu as the 1st menu people see as opposed to the navbar menu? i'd like to keep the navbar as kind of a "quick links" menu, but i will also be putting everything from the navbar onto the drop down menu as well (kind of like duplicating). for example the itrader will eventually be placed into the drop down menu as well.

basically, i would like some suggestions on what templates i can manipulate to make the drop down menu stand out more. i'm open to ideas.

thanks

edit: btw, i nominated this mod. i absolutely love it, just need ideas to make it stand out more so than the navbar menu.

ArnyVee 06-03-2009 09:19 AM

shinng,

You can remove the navbar altogether and use it in it's place. That's how I have it on my site.

i'd like to consider both options.

option 1: i do what you did and remove the navbar completely. if i were to go that route, how would i do that? i guess i could look through all the past pages, but perhaps you have it all organized in one location?

option 2: if i wanted to keep the navbar as a sort of "quick links", then it goes back to my original inquiry about how to make it stand out.

I have Quick Links on my site with this mod mate so you can use this mod and get rid of the old one

http://www.myanimeisland.com/index.php

Its quite easy as ArnyVee and his Brill site says

very nice, i really like what you did with the menu and actually the entire forum overall. very clean, organized, and easy on the eye.

couple questions for you:
1. how did you put a space between your banner and the menu? you see how mine doesn't have spacing in between?
2. is there a way you can possibly list the mods you used whether template mods or plugins? if you can't/don't want to list all, how about the names of the mods to do these - rotating banner at the header, "ads by google" directly below the breadcrumb, changing the user information in each post to the left as opposed to the default in the right hand corner.

thanks again to you and ArnyVee, i'm almost convinced in taking out the navbar completely. i'm just worried that if i do take it out, i'll mess up my template.

ArnyVee 06-04-2009 12:14 AM

shinng,

Be sure to copy your navbar code and save it in a text file before starting to mess around with it in case you need to go back to it and try again :D

I went ahead and found the thread that I used for guidance in removing the actual navbar. Here it is....

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=179238

....good luck with it and let us know if you need any other pointers! Lots of great people in this community that will help you get to where you need to! :up:

shinng 06-04-2009 04:22 AM

how would i move the "logout" button to the drop down menu? that seems to be the only button on the navbar that i can't recreate in the drop down menu.

ArnyVee 06-04-2009 11:57 PM

I used this code for the logout shinng....

Code:

<if condition="$show['member']">
<li><span class="qmdivider qmdividery" ></span></li>
                <li><a class="qmparent" href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]">LOG OUT</a></if>

...hope it helps :)

wiiJp321035 06-12-2009 12:37 PM

I am using the black drop down menu but I have just a few menu items is there a way to get the menu to start on the right instead of the left. I tried a few things but it doesn't seam to work. I have installed 3.8.3 if it makes a difference. I also put the following code around my table.

<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" class="page" ><tr><td>

//addresses

</td></tr></table>

UKBusinessLive 06-12-2009 01:11 PM

Instead of center in the code change it to right

Kolbi 06-14-2009 05:41 PM

Isn“t there an alternative to include the css information in the style css?
I think this could improve the loading time.

NTMID8 06-23-2009 02:36 AM

Nice mod. I've been tinkering to get the look I want as I plan to replace my navbar. I got my gradient installed, links working, etc. The menu looks great on my laptop which runs 1440x900 but when I check it on lower resolutions like 1024x768, it ends up breaking into two lines. I do not have it centered though I did use width="100%" so it flows across the whole style.

I use a fluid style so it adjusts for resolution... just trying to figure out how to make the menu fluid.

Also, the arrows are sometimes in the right place and sometimes misaligned. Can't figure out why?

Thanks for any help!

Feanor_87 07-01-2009 05:33 AM

Great MOD! I've already got this working but I have 1 question. Would it be possible to make the tabs like this? So it's rounded at the top and still have the box squared? I've seen it done before, but I can't figure out how to do it myself :o

Thank you so much for all your hard work. This mod + Logician's webtemplates made a piece of cake out of what I thought would be a nightmare.

Tauhid 07-27-2009 09:19 PM

Is there any way to add small buttons next to each of the main menus? Such as Home would have a tiny house button, forum with a tiny chat button etc....

Also wanted to update this place with my latest navigation setup at my site. You can check it out http://www.wheelsbd.com/forum

Here is a screenshot below:

ArnyVee 07-27-2009 09:58 PM

Tauhid, you can definitely add the icons next to each of the lines (such as a small icon for 'home', etc).

Here's an example of what I use....

Code:

<li><a href="http://www.yoursite.com" title="Mouseover Text Here"><img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/house.png" border="0" alt=""/> Home Page</a></li>
Hope that helps! :up:

goxy63 09-16-2009 12:42 AM

Awesome navbar
I love it

Few questions

1.
Iam using "Floating Guest Notify" modification, its not that big issue but floating message goes under this navbar

2.
Ading icons is pretty much easy, but how to make space between text and icon?

3.
Would love to place all links in "UKBL" navbar and to remove default one, not shure how to do that (to remove complete row with default links, from "UserCp" to "Logout" link) ?

Thanks

taffy056 09-19-2009 04:40 PM

I would like to replace my navbar with this, how would I do that, if someone could be kind enough :)


figured this out - thanks

yotsume 09-19-2009 06:06 PM

INSTALLED! this absolutely is by far the best menu system yet for all of the vBulletin community!

QUESTION:
How can I align the menu system to the top of my navbar instead of under my banner?

I want to replace my top row navbar and put this menu system in its place?

Would I move the code into the navbar template instead of in the header?

THANKS!
