Subforum Drop-down Menu

Description. This is a Mod to make sub-forums appear in a drop-down menu fashion.

+/- sign for forums with/without unread posts
Hierachy show for at most 2 level of sub-forums

Screenshot. Stealed image from the great Stunner-Entertainment forum, hope you don't mind!! :nervous:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...id=36952&stc=1

Step 1. Open:
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:

Code:

<strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]

Replace with:

Code:

<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

        <form action="forumdisplay.php" method="get">

                <input name="s" value="" type="hidden">

                <input name="daysprune" value="-1" type="hidden">

                <select name="f" onchange="this.form.submit();">

<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == 'new'">

<option value="$forum[forumid]" style="font-weight:bold;">$forum[title]</option>

<else />

<option value="$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</option>

</if>

                        $forum[subforums]

                </select>

                <input class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" type="submit">

        </form>

<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

Step 2. Open:
forumhome_subforumbit_nopost
forumhome_subforumbit_post

Replace the templates with:

Code:

<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

<option value="$forum[forumid]">



<if condition="$forum[depth] == '2'">

&nbsp; &nbsp;

</if>

<if condition="$forum[depth] == '3'">

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

</if>



<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == 'new'">

+&nbsp;

<else />

-&nbsp;

</if>



$forum[title]



</option>

<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

Caution. Not every forum need this, our forum has a lot of forums, and forum names are in different languages, so we have to do this. Otherwise, showing all the forums seems to be better for user-friendliness. :devious:

Please check this variable:

Admin -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options -> Depth of Sub-Forums

Generally, setting it to "2" will work in most cases.

Thanks,
DanLai.

This is a great little mod and works well. I made a child style of my default and just made these changes in the child style so that my users can choose if they want to use it.

Thanks.

for whom it doesn't work:
you also need to set Depth of Forums - Forum Home on VB setting pannel to 1

Yes there is if your board only has one style like mine. Make a child style of your normal board style and make the changes listed above. Then go into the Forum Manager and edit the Style Options section on the forums you want this to be used on. Set the Custom Style dropdown to the child style you just created and have it override your users style choice.

Hey thanks alot for posting what you did to fix this, so many people just "nevermind I fixed it", really appreciate. I'd like to add that that code was in the "forumhome_forumbit_level1_post" and "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" templates. The drop down now workd great for me! Great space saver.

MThornback

04-17-2006 05:16 AM

Revert the template :)

In 3.5.4 its just showing me the name (and link) of the main forum and not the subs in the drop down....good idea, but its not working for me :(

beautiful hack... nicely done...

Trana

04-17-2006 09:34 PM

Doesn't work for me. I have the mouseover effects, but I removed the code as instructed. The forums still don't show up as a drop down.

Trana

04-18-2006 08:45 PM

Can someone explain how this works? I only want the drop down box to show up for forums that have subforums (not for all forums).

I can't seem to figure out how this is checking for this before displaying.

Thanks!

ShadowOne

04-21-2006 05:53 AM

hey is there anyway to change the colors of it? and anyway to change it to say instead of the main forum name like a name of our choice or just "sub forums"?
