Want to add multiple drop-down menus in your Navbar?
 
I needed this for my new forum but was unable to find a hack that currently does that. So I figured out how to do it myself. I'm sharing it in case anyone else is interested, but please know I am in no way, shape or form a coder, so any help I can give will be extremely limited.

I figured it out by looking at the navbar template and pulling out the chunk of code that makes the "quick links" drop down. I copied it, modified it then added it to the template but it still didn't work (because I didn't realize there were two things that needed to be edited). Ultimately, I went to the online manual at VBulletin.com and searched for popup menu (yes I actually read the manual directions, lol) and used that to help me further. The second drop-down I even added conditionals to make it so only staff sees it is there, and only admins can see some of the links. Here is the code I used with the conditionals (if you want everyone to see it, just edit those out). I have this dropdown after the Quick Links dropdown and this is where I placed the code.

Find:
HTML Code:
<if condition="$show['member']">
                        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]" onclick="return log_out()">$vbphrase[log_out]</a></td>
                </if>
Place this above (after editing it for your site):
HTML Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)">                               
<td id="stafflinks" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#stafflinks">Staff Links</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("stafflinks"); </script></td>
</if>

Find:
HTML Code:
<if condition="$show['member']">
        <!-- user cp tools menu -->
        <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercptools_menu" style="display:none">
                <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

Hope this helps someone!

COOL! I can get some use out of this! I like the idea of making me and my administrator the only ones who can see the "hidden" RPG link. heheh. Thanks for the script, JK!

PS: Say, you don't know how to embed a new font to your forum, do you? I'm sure it's some easy thing already included as an option somewhere in the panel, but I'm an idiot and can't find it.

JenniferK 09-15-2006 04:28 AM
I'm glad you can use it :)

As for the font, off the top of my head I don't remember exactly, but I know in Admin CP you want to go into Styles and Templates and then Style Manager :)

great article ... thanks for sharing with the community :up:

Aww, it didn't work. I got an error that said an </if> tag was mising on line 151. How do I find line 151 and add an </if> tag? Should I post my code up?

What is the 5,6,7 thing for? :p

[/noob]

JenniferK 10-20-2006 06:16 PM
I'm thinking when you copied and pasted the code, you didn't grab the whole thing, leaving one of the </if> tags off of the end.

The 5,6,7 is for the conditional of who you want the menu to display to. You would need to edit that for your own board - for example, include 5, 6 and 7 if those are the usergroup id numbers for the usergroups you want the menu to display for.

Sorry JenniferK but you did this probably :D

Instead of this :

Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)">
<!-- staff links menu-->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="stafflinks_menu" style="display:none"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td class="thead">Staff Links</td></tr>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/view.php?pg=staffguidelines">Staff Guidelines</a></td></tr></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum//misc.php?do=moderator_stats">Mod Stats</a></td></tr></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/spiders.php?">Spiders</a></td></tr></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/modcp/index.php">Mod CP</a></td></tr></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/admincp/index.php">Admin CP</a></td></tr></if>
</table>
 </div>
<!-- / staff links menu -->
Use this :

Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)">
<!-- staff links menu-->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="stafflinks_menu" style="display:none"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td class="thead">Staff Links</td></tr>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/view.php?pg=staffguidelines">Staff Guidelines</a></td></tr></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum//misc.php?do=moderator_stats">Mod Stats</a></td></tr></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/spiders.php?">Spiders</a></td></tr></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/modcp/index.php">Mod CP</a></td></tr></if>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/admincp/index.php">Admin CP</a></td></tr></if>
</table>
 </div>
<!-- / staff links menu -->
</if>
And everything works fine ;)

could you change the is_member_of to select userID instead?

Currently I'm using this:

Code:
<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7,50))">
</if>
though that only checks for primary usergroup..

And I'm using this for useriD.. though it will get confusing having two different types of code to sort out userID's and usergroupID's

Code:
<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['userid'], array(5,6,7,50))">
</if>

JenniferK 10-28-2006 06:28 PM
hmmm, honestly I don't know enough to answer your question, maybe someone else can help?
