Forum Quick Jump menu · **Released**: 01-07-2006

Hey guys this is my first hack I have made so be gentle.

What does it do?

This creates a drop down menu with a list of your forums so where ever you are on your site you can use the quick jump to go direct to the forum your want.

</table>
</div>


<!---End tidy_boys Forum Dropdown --->

Where you see the x you replace it with the forum id. You will need to play around with the code if you need more forums in the drop down its really easy.

Dont forget to click install

Enjoy...

I have now moved a few things around to make time to improve this

After installing this -Boards Forum Jump Menu Can Be Disable ??

As we have a bit long Forum List & sub-forum...

I understand what he's trying to say, albeit with broken English. It's OK.

Yes, Zia. The regular Forum Jump menu can be disabled via the Admin CP.

vBulletin Options -> General Settings -> Use Forum Jump Menu. Set to "no."

BTW, I would really enjoy this hack, but in HEADER, I can't find the required text. Here's my entire (small) HEADER template.

PHP Code:


			
<!-- logo -->

<a name="top"></a>

<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

<tr>

<td align="center"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>

</tr>

</table>

<!-- /logo -->



<!-- content table -->

$spacer_open



$_phpinclude_output

<form name="spell_form" id="spell_form" method="POST" target="spellWindow" action="vbspell.php">

        <input type="hidden" name="spell_formname" value="">

        <input type="hidden" name="spell_fieldname" value="">

        <input type="hidden" name="spellstring" value="">

</form>

Ideas?

You might have to make the appropriate changes in this case to your navbar template.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
