How To Add Drop Down Menus To Your Navbar
I think everyone has encountered the situation at some point or other where their navbar has got very cluttered and they are faced with either adding yet another navbar, or adding some dropdown menus to group some items. This tutorial explains how to create an additional drop down menu in your navbar. Firstly, locate in your navbar template the first instace of Code:
<if condition="$show['popups']"> Code:
<td id="custommenu" class="vbmenu_control"> <a href="#">Custom Menu</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("custommenu"); </script> </td> Next, in your navbar template find Code:
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS --> Code:
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="custommenu_menu" style="display:none"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"> <tr> <td class="thead">Custom Menu</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite"> content row </td> </tr> </table> </div> The content row should be replaced with the actual menu item that you want to have in your new drop down menu. Repeat the code Code:
<tr> <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite"> content row </td> </tr> If you wish to break your menu into sections like the quicklinks use then add Code:
<tr> <td class="thead">Custom Menu</td> </tr> The content added should be in the normal html format for links. If you wish to add more than one menu, repeat the process for each one, ensuring that you use a different name for each menu otherwise they will not function correctly. I hope you find this useful. |

Sorry, that didn't work either. All it did was change my navbar color.

Color? Has nothing to with color.
Please post your code that you are using in you drop down, in code brackets. Let us have a look see. Edit: I saw your image & based my response from what I saw in that image. I went to your site & saw your issue. Sorry. |

I to need/want to have the popup menu show in relation to the link thats calling it, i.e the popup menu is showing to the left of the cell not the text/link, this is an easy fix im sure please could some one point us in the right direction.
--------------- Added [DATE]1223024888[/DATE] at [TIME]1223024888[/TIME] --------------- Right i wasnt happy with the response we didnt get here with getting the drop down menu to be in the place we wanted them, so i have done a Drop Down Menu - Relative Positioning Tutorial on how to go about positioning the menus correctly. Why vB didnt do it the way i have on my link i dont know, with any luck they adopt my method in the next release of vB. Heres hoping ! |
