drop down menu probelms

[JimmyN]

Hi everyone,
After making some new drop down menu's, they work with ie6, ff but i dont think they do with ie7.

The probelm now is, when on another pc, i went to the forums and the drop down menu's didnt work. The heading where there but it seemed like they where disabled for vistiors, so when you log in they work again.

Url is over here: www.oz-consolemods.net/forums

Any ideas what is wrong (if required i will post navbar code, just let me know)

Thanks

[peterska2]

Can you post your navbar code in tags.

It looks like you have the menus set to only show for members, but the links to show for all users on a quick check on what is happening.

[JimmyN]

Ok here's the code
You may notice that i used the <!-- / user cp tools menu --> section for the code and i renamed it to 2 and found the other code which links to it, (could be in header i think) But this is the main stuff i think.
I thought it might be a <if> conditional for members only and not guests.
Any ideas?

Thanks very much peterska2 for the reply

Navbar Code

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()
{
	ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
	ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";
	if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		ht[0].style.filter = "";
		return false;
	}
}
//-->
</script>

Ok, can you also post your header template.

That looks fine, but I would change this line

<if condition="in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array(index))"> <else />

to

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='index'">

as it is a lot cleaner code.

[JimmyN]

ok thanks, here is the header code:

Ah, got it. Was having a blonde moment when I looked at it before.

In your navbar, find

	</if>
<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

Replace with

<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

Find

	<!-- / user cp tools 2 menu -->
<!-- user cp tools menu 3-->

Replace with

	<!-- / user cp tools 2 menu -->
</if>
<!-- user cp tools menu 3-->

Also, in your header, find

<td id="usercptools2" class="navbar"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools2">User CP</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercptools2"); </script></td>		
			</if>

<td id="usercptools3" class="navbar"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools3">Services</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercptools3"); </script></td>		
			</if>

<td id="usercptools4" class="navbar"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools4">Support</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercptools4"); </script></td>		
			</if>
		<if condition="$show['popups']">		
			<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">

and replace with

<if condition="$show['popups']">
<if condition="$show[member]">
<td id="usercptools2" class="navbar"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools2">User CP</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercptools2"); </script></td>		
			</if>

<td id="usercptools3" class="navbar"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools3">Services</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercptools3"); </script></td>		
			

<td id="usercptools4" class="navbar"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools4">Support</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercptools4"); </script></td>		
			
				
			<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">

It was what I originally suspected that you have the menus only showing for members.

This fix hides the user cp menu from guests, cleans up your code a bit, and lets the other two menus show to everyone.

[JimmyN]

thank you very much 10/10 support

[JimmyN]

I upgraded to vbull 3.6.1 and its not working
Firefox is fine though

If you have IE7 or IE6 can people please test it just to make sure its not my settings or browser thanks.

www.oz-consolemods.net/forums

It should come up in the navbar "usercp" "services" "support" And they will all have links under them, let me know if they work or not.

Could someone please help me out again? (i will post new code if required)
Thanks again

[peterska2]

Working fine in FF (latest version), FF IE Tabs, and IE.

[JimmyN]

thanks peterska2, going to update my IE browser and see if it works then.
It looks like its fine your you, so thats great, lets hope its just my browser that needs a fix
