missing drop down menus

might be more of a google chrome problem but I installed google chrome and can't see any of the drop down menus on my site. They are still there if I use firefox, just not with google chrome.

any help?

Try other forums and see if you get the drop down box in chrome or not.

If you do it's probably a problem with your style.

In Style Manager -> Add a New Style - make sure to choose "no parent" and then browse to it and see if your drop down boxes work with it.

Is it your browser? Maybe chrome has an error! Try clearing the cache and temp internet files etc.. Chrome has a thing for storing stuff to try make loading pages faster and maybe its changed somehow and now wont work at all.

Does the drop down work on other forums?

I can confirm the drop-down box isn't working for me either on Chrome.

Please try disabling hooks and see if you still have the problem. (All mods will be temporarily disabled when you disable hooks.)

It's weird since I have no problem with other VB 3.x forums with Chrome, including my own.

I found that vbulletin_menu.js is not being included when the page is loaded in Chrome, and I think it has to do with this code in global.php:

HTML Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['usepopups'])

{

        if ((is_browser('ie', 5) AND !is_browser('mac')) OR is_browser('mozilla') OR is_browser('firebird') OR is_browser('opera', 7) OR is_browser('webkit') OR is_browser('konqueror', 3.2))

        {

                // use popups

        }

        else

        {

                // don't use popups

                $vbulletin->options['usepopups'] = 0;

        }

}

I have version 3.8.3 which isn't the latest. Maybe the cases in the "if" don't include Chrome. But that's kind of confusing because it would mean they would never work in Chrome, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone ask about this before.

ETA: ...also Joe just said he has no problems, so maybe the code above isn't the issue. But in template headinclude there's a if $show['popups'] around the line that includes vbulletin_menu.js, so I'm assuming $show['popups'] is set to false for some reason.

More Edits: I notice that your site is using 3.6.4, maybe that version is out of date when it comes to detecting browsers.

so could I add chrome to that list and see if it works?

kh99	07-05-2011 09:32 PM

Well, assuming that is the problem (I'm not 100% sure), then probably what you'd want to do is modify the is_broswer() function (which is in includes/functions.php). If you have access to the source code for a later version of vbulletin, you could probably copy the is_browser function from that. Even the latest from vb4.1.4 doesn't have 'chrome' as a type you can check for - I think it's reported as 'mozilla', so probably wouldn't need to change the code in global.php.

I found another form running VB 3.6.4: http://www.pdgaming.com/

The drop down menus are also disabled for Google Chrome so I'm sure that is just how 3.6.4 was programmed- before Chrome existed, it's not recognized as a compatible browser.
