UKBL ~ Easy Vertical Menu System

UKBL ~ Easy Vertical Menu System

Well you wanted Dropdowns and you got them, Now you want Vertical Menu's, Here they are

DEMO : http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/vertical.html

Default VB Colors DEMO: http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/vbull_vert.html

Following on from the Easy Menu Tabs and the Quality Dropdowns, this is a new style of menu for sites that use side columns or even VBa

Done in a plain Neutral color scheme to compliment most sites you can change the color scheme by simply changing the hex color codes in the CSS part of the code.

This is suitable for ALL browser types https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/02/32.gif

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/02/104.png

This example has sub menus within sub menus so you can see how to edit them to add more for your site

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/02/105.png

So if your happy with that, Lets begin.............

Firstly we need to Download the zip file, This has the code to edit plus related graphics, so you've downloaded the code, lets start ;)

Open the code in your fave Text Editor (Notepad is ideal for this ;) )

Find in the code

Code:

/*"""""""" Custom Rule""""""""*/        

        ul#qm0 li .qmparent        

        {        

                background-image:url(http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/images/cssalt1_arrow_right.gif);

                background-repeat:no-repeat;

                background-position:97% 50%;

you will see referance to a gif, change the URL of the gif to where you are going to install your gif, Be it in your forums image directory or even photobucket, the choice is yours.

then find the other gif url here

Code:

/*"""""""" Custom Rule""""""""*/        

        ul#qm0 li:hover > a.qmparent        

        {        

                background-image:url(http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/images/cssalt1_arrow_right_hover.gif);

                text-decoration:underline;

        }

and do the same as the one above, change my url to yours ;)

Then find....

Code:

<!-- Add-On Settings -->

        <script type="text/JavaScript">



                /*******  Menu 0 Add-On Settings *******/

                var a = qmad.qm0 = new Object();



                // Item Bullets Add On

                a.ibullets_apply_to = "parent";

                a.ibullets_main_image = "http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/images/qtbordercaps_arrow_right_gray.gif";

                a.ibullets_main_image_width = 6;

                a.ibullets_main_image_height = 8;

                a.ibullets_main_position_x = -16;

                a.ibullets_main_position_y = -4;

                a.ibullets_main_align_x = "right";

                a.ibullets_main_align_y = "middle";

                a.ibullets_sub_image = "http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/images/qtbordercaps_arrow_right_gray.gif";

                a.ibullets_sub_image_width = 6;

                a.ibullets_sub_image_height = 8;

                a.ibullets_sub_position_x = -12;

                a.ibullets_sub_position_y = -2;

                a.ibullets_sub_align_x = "right";

                a.ibullets_sub_align_y = "middle";

and change the gif url to where you will upload your gifs

Then all you need to do next is upload the gifs from the zip file to the url that you made in the steps above :)

So thats the CSS part done, Next we need to edit our menu links, I've set the default to my forum but its easy enough to change them for yours or even if you want to add extra items, So lets start changing our menu links

First Find..

Code:

<li><a class="qmparent" href="javascript:void(0)" title="My Control Panel">My Control Panel</a>



                <ul>

                <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/profile.php?do=editavatar" title="Edit Avatar">Edit Avatar</a></li>

                <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/profile.php?do=editsignature" title="Edit Signature">Edit Signature</a></li>

                <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions" title="Edit Options">Edit Options</a></li>

                <li><span class="qmdivider qmdividerx" ></span></li>

                <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription" title="List Subscriptions">List Subscriptions</a></li>

                </ul></li>

Thats our first block called "My Control Panel" all you need to do is edit these menu links to an url of your forum

Code:

<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/profile.php?do=editavatar" title="Edit Avatar">Edit Avatar</a></li>

Don't forget once you've changed the URL, you can change the description, which you can find right at the end ">Edit Avatar</a></li>

Do that for all the links and by then you'll have your own Vertical Menu Tabs.

To see how the menu from a sub menu works, you need to find the Calendar Link in the Code

It starts like this

Code:

<li><a class="qmparent" href="javascript:void(0)" title="Calendar">Calendar</a>

and then the menu links off from that, are similar to the menu links above, all together they look like this, showing the parent menu "Todays Post"

Code:

<li><a class="qmparent" href="javascript:void(0)" title="Todays Post">Todays Post</a>



                <ul>

                <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/search.php?searchid=167" title="Todays Post">Todays Post</a></li>

                <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/search.php?do=getnew" title="New Post">New Post</a></li>

                <li><span class="qmdivider qmdividerx" ></span></li>

                <li><a class="qmparent" href="javascript:void(0)" title="Calendar">Calendar</a>



                        <ul>

                        <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/calendar.php" title="Calendar">Calendar</a></li>

                        <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/calendar.php?do=add&type=single&c=1" title="Add Single Event">Add Single Event</a></li>

                        <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/calendar.php?do=add&c=1" title="Ranged Event">Ranged Event</a></li>

                        <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/calendar.php?do=add&type=recur&c=1" title="Recurring Event">Recurring Event</a></li>

                        </ul></li>

Thats its folks, Just save your code and upload it to the header or other section (side Colummns) of your forum or website

Please note as i don't use side columns or VBa, I cannot provide support in these areas.

To change the colors of the menu to suit your site, simply change the hex color code at the begining of the CSS part of the code, I like using this hex editor for this http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html

Please click installed, for 100% support ;)

UPDATE 08.02.09

You can now download the VBulletin Default Color Menu, This is exactly the same as the original except that the colors have been edited to Match the VBulletin Default theme

Enjoy :D

LOL, thats the Tool Tip :D to delete it just remove this part of the code where you have your menu links (in Red)

Code:

<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/calendar.php?do=add&c=1" title="Ranged Event" >Ranged Event</a></li>

No problems buddy, You make sure you have a hose pipe handy :D

Its pretty hot down there, i take it??

43 degrees Celsius - 110 Fahrenheit :(

bit cooler now

I have one last drama if you could help that would be great.

In firefox its all good, in ie the arrows are on the left out of the container, problably my fault :rolleyes:
I'm trying to track it down but works perfect in ff

thx again

You need to make sure that the code in the "Custom Rule" sections are not altered except to change the URL of your arrows, Just check both of them, one is directly below the other.

Code:

/*"""""""" Custom Rule""""""""*/        

        ul#qm0 li .qmparent        

        {        

                background-image:url(http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/images/cssalt1_arrow_right.gif);

                background-repeat:no-repeat;

                background-position:97% 50%;

also the "Add on Core"

Code:

// Item Bullets Add On

                a.ibullets_apply_to = "parent";

                a.ibullets_main_image = "http://ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/images/qtbordercaps_arrow_right_gray.gif";

                a.ibullets_main_image_width = 6;

                a.ibullets_main_image_height = 8;

                a.ibullets_main_position_x = -16;

                a.ibullets_main_position_y = -4;

                a.ibullets_main_align_x = "right";

                a.ibullets_main_align_y = "middle";

                a.ibullets_sub_image = "http://ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/images/qtbordercaps_arrow_right_gray.gif";

                a.ibullets_sub_image_width = 6;

                a.ibullets_sub_image_height = 8;

                a.ibullets_sub_position_x = -12;

                a.ibullets_sub_position_y = -2;

                a.ibullets_sub_align_x = "right";

                a.ibullets_sub_align_y = "middle";

Just make sure you havn't changed any of the setting in there.

Hope that helps ;)

Thanks uk for the great support.

I tried the code in a html page within vbulletin (easy pages and Logician's WebTemplates) in ie and it works fine..
so the problem lies within the vbadvanced module.

Since I'm going to use your VMS :) in ultimate side colums , there wont be a problem in ie.

Any idea as to why VMS wont display properly in a vbadvanced block in ie for me ?

thankyou

I had this problem with My Easy Menu Tabs, So it should work. ;)

Just seen the bushfires in Victoria on the news here in the UK, :eek: Be careful mate ;)

to add a module of vbadvanced only copy the code in a new module template and the begin of code add <td> and the final of code add </td>

Menu looks Great :up::up:

Have it working perfect now.

To fix my arrows from being outside of the container. I did this

In the code remove

Code:

<!-- Add-On Core Code (Remove when not using any add-on's) -->

<style type="text/css">.qmfv{visibility:visible !important;}.qmfh{visibility:hidden !important;}</style><script type="text/javascript">if (!window.qmad){qmad=new Object();qmad.binit="";qmad.bvis="";qmad.bhide="";}</script>

and change

Code:

<!-- Create Menu Settings: (Menu ID, Is Vertical, Show Timer, Hide Timer, On Click (options: 'all' * 'all-always-open' * 'main' * 'lev2'), Right to Left, Horizontal Subs, Flush Left, Flush Top) -->

<script type="text/javascript">qm_create(0,true,0,500,false,false,false,false,false);</script>

Code:

<!-- Create Menu Settings: (Menu ID, Is Vertical, Show Timer, Hide Timer, On Click (options: 'all' * 'all-always-open' * 'main' * 'lev2'), Right to Left, Horizontal Subs, Flush Left, Flush Top) -->

<script type="text/javascript">qm_create(0,true,0,500,true,false,false,false,false);</script>

thanks for a great mod uk :up:

thanks for a great mod uk :up:

Thanks for the Update and fix :up:

(Hope all is well your end ;) )

Hmm, from looking at the css code, you have used the same css titles in this mod as you did in your other menu mod, and its playing havoc with my display when in use.

I think it might be a good idea to use different css identifiers in this mod compared to your other menu mod to avoid issues.

Just a suggestion.

Yep. The dropdown menu css has been added to the additional css, however because both mods have the same css, the drop down menu inherits items from the vertical making the dropdown also become vertical as well as including the arrows etc.

Hope that makes sense.

WoW, I like It, Thank my friend !

Hi

Yes there is a way, you'll need to look in the Css code at the begining of the colde, its one of the Hex Numbers, have a look see if you can see which one it is, it looks like you've changed colours when compared to the original?? if so, You may have to PM the code so i can see.

I'll take a look for you tonight when i get back from work ;)

will send you a pm with code and link to my site

<div align="left">Hello again!

This menu can be set in the template forumhome? What is the situation?

Thanks</div>

thanks for a great mod uk :up:

Although it works but it shows javascript error like qmad variable no defined.

Downloaded, will install when my hand heals.

I could definitely use this for some of my custom code on both my site and forums. :)

That's not a vBulletin forum...

Im using this menu on my forums, but id like to use it on my vbadanced page too. However im guessing due to using the same css settings, it completeley throws everything out of synch.

I appreciate no support is given for vbadvanced, but has anyone managed to get this working on both forum and vbadvanced age. If so, How.

Thanks
