Mini Mods - [AJAX] Drop Down Message Display / Selector

File Edits: 0

Difficulty: Easy

Description
This hack adds a drop down menu underneath your navbar.
When someone selects an option it'll load a table with the contents you put in it (without reloading the page).

You can use HTML when you add a new message.

I have added a new hook for the use of replacing text.
I have hardcoded two replacements.

[username] - This will display the username of the user browsing
[userid] - This will display the userid of the user browsing.


F.A.Q.
Q: How can I add my own replacements?
A: Add a new plugin under the hook "ajax_drop_menu_start".
In the Plugin PHP code use this format: $cm['text'] = str_replace("find", "replace", $cm['text']);

Example:

PHP Code:

$cm['text'] = str_replace("[username]", $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $cm['text']); 


Q: Can I use the hook for other things besides replacing text?
A: Yes. You can use it for almost anything. If you'd like to query the database for the lastest 5 threads and display them in the drop down menu you can.


On the demo you'll see a drop down menu with the text "Select Message".

Make a new plugin in 'cache_templates' with this:

PHP Code:

$globaltemplates[]  = 'custom_messages';
