Any idea why my dropdown menu would open to the far left of my screen instead of directly beneath the menu link?

oh that easy.. cuz your dropdown menu is in the second navbar move that to the top nav and it will work fine

I moved it to the top, but it still wants to dropdown at the far left of the dropdown link.

Notice that UserCP drops down centered. I have everything the same for those two except the names and links. Doesn't make much sense.

I can't get this to work in 3.6.5

It shows the link on the navbar, but no little downarrow. And when you click it, the page reloads with the non-js navbar displayed.

I reverted my navbar template, then it worked great. Thanks.

Been looking for this for ages, finally found it. Working great on 3.6.5.

Thanks a lot. :)

Installed. So, I changed the code but I'm not sure what to do for the "LAST PART CHANGE ALL" Little help please

I'm wondering if this menu can be implemented into any other buttons? I have buttons on the top of my site and i would rather have the drop down menus there as the navbar is not enabled on the main page.

Here is the button code.

Code:

<td><a href="LINK"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/links_gallery.gif" alt="" width="100" height="29" border="0"></a></td>

Thanks in advance.

Any help with the FAR LEFT issue would be nice. Ever since I added this my Quick Links also is skewed left.

Anyone gotten this to work in 3.6.8 or know of other ways to add custom drop menus to the navbar? I have done everything but I think I am screwing up on the yourmenu YOURMENU replacement. I tried only replacing the capitalized YOURMENU and not the lower case one, but no good. The menu title shows up as a link, with no drop down menu or links. The link points to /forum/index.php?nojs=1#MYMENU instead of the intended address that I replaced LINK with: /forum/local_links.php?catid=1
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks~

Hi Tminus,
I've had your same problem.
I really don't know why everything were fixed once I changed all YOURMENU with another word.

Greetings

Thanks Stefano. So edit just the capitalized YOURMENU or all yourmenus? I tried both in 3.6.8 and it didn't work. The only modification to navbar in the 3.6.8 release was just a redundant <div> tag removal, but I don't think that would make a difference. I am in no rush so I will try again and post my results. Any other suggestions would be helpful. Does anyone have this running on 3.6.8?

Hi, I've just substitued all the YOURMENU (4 in navbar) with "Gallery".
And now it works. I don't know why, honestly ;)

Ok, thanks. I will just try again, but you are running 3.6.8 right?

It depends on where you place the code. Place it after the listing of the navbar listing you want. The directions are for register, but you can move it down by putting it after one of the other menus.

Thanks, but I'm moving this code everywhere and it is not fixing the problem, what to do please?

ok i have a problem here, I have made this and is working but having a class issue.

with certain non default skins the background is not right, when i remove the class=vbmenu_control part it displays correctly in non-default type skins but then messes up button background on default type skins(we have 4 installed 2 default type using class and 2 that are diff type, using no class).
Any help to fix this so it shows properly on all skins would be awesome!!

TIA,

Will

Well, I thought it would work. I haven't actually been able to get it to run on 3.6.8. I ended up customizing a small product that installs a navbar menu. I used this product and added this code in with it. I am still learning how to understand and write it from scratch, but I can go into more detail on the quick solution when I have time again. Probably this time tomorrow. :)

Another solution is to get TMS and you can apply your template mods globally. The only thing with that is I am running 3.6.8 and having problems with it so I don't use it. I just decided to write product/s instead that will install all of my mod related navbar links/menus quickly.

Im not getting a dropdown menu.

When i clink on NAME, it opens stuff in the nav bar link, mark forum as read, view buddy list. This has never been in there. This was in my Quick Links drop down menu.

Edit: Could it be a problem is im using 3.6.8?

I had all sorts of problems with it, ended up adding links into the "Quick Links" drop down menu as my Navbar was getting a bit cluttered.
I am using 3.5.8 as well.
