So many things changing... and still 3.7 is not gold! x.x

Does any of this tie into dropdown menus? I am using subdreamer and none of my dropdowns seem to work. I think it has something to do with the forum style, but Im not sure.

Let me make sure here

Do your vbulletin Quick Links work? If they dont then I doubt its anything to do with AndrewD’s dlm hack. If the vbulletin Quick Links do work but your dlm drop down menu links dont they it’d most likely down to your subdreamer forumskin.php

Its tricky to say without looking. Its just a matter of checking through everything narrowing down the problem really.

Part of the css associated with subdreamer was killing the LDM dropdowns on Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox. The problem line was the div declatation given in one of my earlier posts. I have not worked out whether this is a bug in IE or in Mozilla or neither, but will try to ensure that LDM does not suffer from it, by the time version 2.2.9 is final.

Hello AndrewD

Is there any way to remove the bar between the categories?

The bar only appear if you give entries specific (and different) display_order values.

It is created using the links_linkseparator template, so you can edit that template as you wish.

Excellent!

I just removed the row and it looks perfect.

Thanks!

Yes, that's the bug in the swfupload code which stops it working in Internet Explorer. The problem is actually in IE (not following the standard) but it's easy to get round. I'll be posting a new version of the code this weekend.

Thanks,

Ok no worries. I look forward to the new version.

Ps cannot believe this hack only has 18 votes and an average of 4.83. Though I suppose that?s because it?s still in the beta/alpha stages.

Anyway, the DLM hack is already very good - the more users that use it to test it etc the better it will become, esp other requesting for extra features etc. The support is excellent. If any of you are using this hack, please give an honest vote and click installed.

Thanks for this hack and the time you spend on it to improve it etc @ AndrewD!

Cheers,
Chris.
