Hopefully, I can get someone who knows a little about forums...specifically, vbulletin.

I found this right-click context menu script at dynamicdrive.com and would like to implement it on my forum.

Anyway...the script I want to implement is this one: http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/contextmenu.htm

I know the header code needs to be placed in my vbulletin header template, but have no clue where to put the code required within the <body> tag. I'm stumped as to what vbulletin template I should use.

If anyone can offer any suggestions or refer me to another link, I certainly would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance...

I suggest you to add this CSS to your Additional CSS List, in your style (AdminCp --> Styles & Templates --> Edit --> Add. CSS List):

Code:

.skin0{
position:absolute;
width:165px;
border:2px solid black;
background-color:menu;
font-family:Verdana;
line-height:20px;
cursor:default;
font-size:14px;
z-index:100;
visibility:hidden;
}

.menuitems{
padding-left:10px;
padding-right:10px;
}

Then, you can try to add this code..

Code:

<div id="ie5menu" class="skin0" onMouseover="highlightie5(event)" onMouseout="lowlightie5(event)" onClick="jumptoie5(event)" display:none>
<div class="menuitems" url="http://dynamicdrive.com">Dynamicdrive.com</div>
<div class="menuitems" url="http://dynamicdrive.com/new.htm" target="newwin">What's New?</div>
<div class="menuitems" url="http://dynamicdrive.com/hot.htm">What's Hot?</div>
<div class="menuitems" url="http://wsabstract.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi">Message Forum</div>
<div class="menuitems" url="http://dynamicdrive.com/faqs.htm">FAQs</div>
<div class="menuitems" url="http://dynamicdrive.com/submitscript.htm">Submit</div>
<hr>
<div class="menuitems" url="mailto:dynamicdrive@yahoo.com">Email Us</div>
</div>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

//set this variable to 1 if you wish the URLs of the highlighted menu to be displayed in the status bar
var display_url=0

var ie5=document.all&&document.getElementById
var ns6=document.getElementById&&!document.all
if (ie5||ns6)
var menuobj=document.getElementById("ie5menu")

function showmenuie5(e){
//Find out how close the mouse is to the corner of the window
var rightedge=ie5? document.body.clientWidth-event.clientX : window.innerWidth-e.clientX
var bottomedge=ie5? document.body.clientHeight-event.clientY : window.innerHeight-e.clientY

//if the horizontal distance isn't enough to accomodate the width of the context menu
if (rightedge<menuobj.offsetWidth)
//move the horizontal position of the menu to the left by it's width
menuobj.style.left=ie5? document.body.scrollLeft+event.clientX-menuobj.offsetWidth : window.pageXOffset+e.clientX-menuobj.offsetWidth
else
//position the horizontal position of the menu where the mouse was clicked
menuobj.style.left=ie5? document.body.scrollLeft+event.clientX : window.pageXOffset+e.clientX

//same concept with the vertical position
if (bottomedge<menuobj.offsetHeight)
menuobj.style.top=ie5? document.body.scrollTop+event.clientY-menuobj.offsetHeight : window.pageYOffset+e.clientY-menuobj.offsetHeight
else
menuobj.style.top=ie5? document.body.scrollTop+event.clientY : window.pageYOffset+e.clientY

menuobj.style.visibility="visible"
return false
}

function hidemenuie5(e){
menuobj.style.visibility="hidden"
}

function highlightie5(e){
var firingobj=ie5? event.srcElement : e.target
if (firingobj.className=="menuitems"||ns6&&firingobj.parentNode.className=="menuitems"){
if (ns6&&firingobj.parentNode.className=="menuitems") firingobj=firingobj.parentNode //up one node
firingobj.style.backgroundColor="highlight"
firingobj.style.color="white"
if (display_url==1)
window.status=event.srcElement.url
}
}

function lowlightie5(e){
var firingobj=ie5? event.srcElement : e.target
if (firingobj.className=="menuitems"||ns6&&firingobj.parentNode.className=="menuitems"){
if (ns6&&firingobj.parentNode.className=="menuitems") firingobj=firingobj.parentNode //up one node
firingobj.style.backgroundColor=""
firingobj.style.color="black"
window.status=''
}
}

function jumptoie5(e){
var firingobj=ie5? event.srcElement : e.target
if (firingobj.className=="menuitems"||ns6&&firingobj.parentNode.className=="menuitems"){
if (ns6&&firingobj.parentNode.className=="menuitems") firingobj=firingobj.parentNode
if (firingobj.getAttribute("target"))
window.open(firingobj.getAttribute("url"),firingobj.getAttribute("target"))
else
window.location=firingobj.getAttribute("url")
}
}

if (ie5||ns6){
menuobj.style.display=''
document.oncontextmenu=showmenuie5
document.onclick=hidemenuie5
}

</script>

In your headinclude template. It should work.

Thank you for the reply...

While it did work, the position of the context menu appears all over the place in IE7. It starts out fine, but if you scroll down and right click, then the menu doesn't appear where you right clicked...however, if you scroll back up...then you'll see the menu.

In Firefox 2.0.0.11, no matter where you right-click, the menu always appears at the top left of the page content...just under the header.

I guess I may have to give up on this script...as it seems to have a browser compatibility issue.

Thanks anyway, for getting back to me on this. I really do appreciate the help.
