Forum Display Enhancements - QuickTab

Info:
I wanted a nice dropdown menu with a login form and if you have logged in there are QuickLinks.
I used mootools for it, works really good.
All texts are phrased, so when you install it it's in the language of your board.
Just download and install if you like it

Demo:
Here's a demo for you of how it works: Demo here


Installation:
1. Download QuickTab.zip and upload the tab file in your forum directory.

2. In the headinclude template find

<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

And add below:

<link href="tab/tabstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="tab/tab.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="tab/mootools.v1.00.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="tab/tabset.js"></script>

3. After that add on top of the header template:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 1">

<div id="fxContainer">
    <div id="fxTarget">
        <div id="fxPadding" class="wrapper">
            <div class="moduletable">
                <h3>$vbphrase[quick_links]:</h3>
                <form>
                    <div class="loginelement">
                        <a href="usercp.php">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a> </div>
                    <div class="loginelement">
                        <a href="search.php?do=getnew">$vbphrase[new_posts]</a>
                    </div>
                    <div class="loginelement">
                        <a href="search.php">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a>
                    </div>
                    <div class="loginelement">
                        <a href="forumdisplay.php?do=markread">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>
                    </div>
                    <div class="loginelement">
                        <a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]" onclick="return log_out('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]')">
                        $vbphrase[log_out]</a> </div>
                </form>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id="fxShadow">
    </div>
    <div id="fxTab">
        <span id="fxTrigger">&nbsp;</span> </div>
</div>
<else />


<div id="fxContainer">
    <div id="fxTarget">
        <div id="fxPadding" class="wrapper">
            <div class="moduletable">
                <form action="login.php?do=login" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, $show[nopasswordempty])">
                    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="url" value="/" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
                    $vbphrase[username]<label>:<input name="vb_login_username" type="text" id="login" tabindex="1" class="bginput" accesskey="u" /></label> 
                    $vbphrase[password]<label>:<input name="vb_login_password" type="password" id="password" tabindex="1" class="bginput" /></label>
                    <label>$vbphrase[remember_me]<input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" id="cb_cookieuser" tabindex="1" /></label>
                    <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="1" value="$vbphrase[log_in]" accesskey="s" class="button" />
                </form>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id="fxShadow">
    </div>
    <div id="fxTab">
        <span id="fxTrigger">&nbsp;</span> </div>
</div>
</if>

To change the tab text:
Go to /tab/tabset.js to change the Open Menu > Close Menu text.
All other texts are vBulletin phrases.

To change the color of the tab:
Change fx-tab.png with photoshop or a similar program that handles transparent png's to the color you want.

After you've done that you have to change the following:

Find in tab.css:

#fxTarget { 
    background: #3e5a7d;

And change #3e5a7d to the colorcode you want the tab to be.

Alternate QuickTab:
You can find an alternative layout here

Thanks. That was caused by a 'base href'. For some reasons it will not take it.

I got a number of things i want to add, but rather than being rows, expanding the drop downs would be better and look sexy as hell!

Will see if that's possible

When I tried to install this - everything worked just great! But it got rid of the lines underneath all my links. Any ideas?

[Allan]

Thanks, it's cool

Ok why can I not center the text?? It has to be something simple I am sure, however, it is just not centering.

All I really want to do is have some links in it, no lin stuff...like the example:

http://www.vbcover.com/

Thanks...great mod!

This is very nice, however I have encountered what seems to be a conflict: It works fine for both FF and IE, but for users that use IE, with this mod enabled, cannot post in the forums! The forum keeps asking them to fill in something in the message area, altough they have a normal post ready to be posted.

So I had to disable this until I find out what causes this. Any ideas?

[M-Tuning]

Probably a css conflict, will see which part causes it.

[Deepdog009]

Nice work M-Tuning... Tab City

[Defkalion]

Any news on this problem I have? Any ideas anyone?

I find that it is caused by the "mootools.v1.00.js" code line.

[M-Tuning]

I made a workaround for IE, this way the QuickTab hack doesn't show in IE.

Let me know if you want it.
