Sub-Forum Dropdown Menu

This is template mod I released for 3.6 Seeing that the original vB code remained the same the template edits should still work in 3.7.x.

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

1. +/- sign for forums with/without unread posts

Step 1. Open:
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:
Code:

Code:

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

Replace with:
Code:

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();">

                 <option value="$forum[forumid]" selected><strong>Sub Forums</strong></option>

                        $forum[subforums]

                </select>

                

        </form>

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

Step 2. Open:
forumhome_subforumbit_nopost
forumhome_subforumbit_post

Replace the templates with:
Code:

Code:

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

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



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

+&nbsp;

<else />

-&nbsp;

</if>



$forum[title]



</option>

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

In the images, it shows the sub cat box directly to the right of the main category title. Mine are appearing underneath. Is there any way to fix this?

Edit your forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost, forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates. I just made the code generic due to the fact that there are SO many custom templates out there. This is just the code for the drop box.

Regards!

can one make the dropdown menu "nicer", like with CSS or even AJAX?

Okay, that makes sense... but what would be the exact code? Sorry i'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to formatting... and other things.:erm:

I've just upgraded to 3.7 and also upgraded with this one too.

How about some tips just to add some background colors on the boxes and fonts ?

Tks.

Change these in all the edits above:

<option value="$forum[forumid]"

to this:

<option value="$forum[forumid]" class="alt1"

This will match your forum color or you can replace class"alt1" with this:

style="background-color: Gray;" and change Gray to whatever color you want.

For some reason this shifts my forum to the right about 20 pixels. It throws off the alignment but I would LOVE to use it otherwise. Anyone else run into this problem?
