Dropdown - Manual

Note to all: Yes I will be upgrading this mod if needed to work with vB 4.0, but not before it goes gold on or around the ETA of December 21st. I personally wouldn't recommend anyone upgrade their forum for a couple weeks after it comes out so that the modding community has a chance to test their code on the gold version.

I'm sorry, I'm quite spectacularly dumb when it comes to this kind of thing - I have a couple of questions if you'd be so kind:

Firstly, how do I remove the username from the dropdown_title? Is it even possible?

Secondly, I'm getting an issue when using this with the legacy postbit where for users with shorter names, the title background is taking the entire width of the postbit, and it looks a bit ugly:

Any suggestions?

1. Remove from the dropdown templates:
2. more likely it's a spec they have that's long (IIRC).

Thanks for the prompt response.

Regards the second point, it doesn't seem to be - if I open the dropdown menu, the title bar is still much longer than any of the fields. As a potential workaround, is it possible to just change the colour of the title bar so that it matches the background of the postbit?

It uses the default dropdown code, so either you'd have to change the colors of all of them, or if you just want to change that one then you'd have to add some CSS for that. CSS isn't my strongsuit, so I can't give you any tips, sorry!

Not a problem. :) I've muddled through and managed to get it more or less doing what I wanted now - probably not even close to good CSS, but it seems to be working, which is good enough for me. Thanks for a great mod.

In case anyone else has a similar problem to the one I had, I fixed it by doing the following:

In the dropdown call template

Change
to
You may find that this causes the dropdown to overlap some areas of your postbit (it did with mine) - In the Postbit Legacy template, simply add a couple of line breaks (<br>) after
and that should sort it.

That's how it worked for me, anyway. Hope it helps.

so any news about this on vb4?

This avil for 4.0.1 yet? This is just what I need!

Please update!!!
