Forum Jump in Navbar

This adds a dropdown menu on the navbar which contains all the links found in the forumjump that apears on certain pages. Note the forumjump must be enabled in the ACP for this to work. See the attached screenshot.

In your phpinclude_start template OR in global.php (if you have lots of styles you may want to do one edit to global.php instead of editing styles) after:

PHP Code:

$logincode = construct_login_code(); 


Add (or place in the phpinclude_start template, do one or the other):

PHP Code:

$donavjump = true;
construct_forum_jump();
$navjump = $forumjump;
unset($donavjump, $forumjump, $jumpforumbits, $optionselected, $usecategories, $jumpforumid, $jumpforumtitle, $curforumid, $daysprune, $defaultselected); 


Replace the contents of your forumjump template with:

<if condition="$GLOBALS['donavjump']">
	<!-- navjump menu -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navjump_menu" style="display:none">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
			<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[site_areas]</td></tr>
			<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]forumid=cp">$vbphrase[user_control_panel]</a></td></tr>
			<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]forumid=pm">$vbphrase[private_messages]</a></td></tr>
			<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]forumid=subs">$vbphrase[subscriptions]</a></td></tr>
			<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]forumid=wol">$vbphrase[whos_online]</a></td></tr>
			<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]forumid=search">$vbphrase[search_forums]</a></td></tr>
			<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]forumid=home">$vbphrase[forums_home]</a></td></tr>	
			<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[forums]</td></tr>	
			$jumpforumbits
		</table>
	</div>
	<!-- / navjump menu -->
<else />
<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[left]; white-space:nowrap">
	<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="get">
	<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
	<input type="hidden" name="daysprune" value="$daysprune" />
	<strong>$vbphrase[forum_jump]</strong><br />
	<select name="f" onchange="this.form.submit();">
		<optgroup label="$vbphrase[site_areas]">
			<option value="-1" $defaultselected>$vbphrase[please_select_one]</option>
			<option value="cp" $frmjmpsel[usercp]>$vbphrase[user_control_panel]</option>
			<option value="pm" $frmjmpsel[pm]>$vbphrase[private_messages]</option>
			<option value="subs" $frmjmpsel[subs]>$vbphrase[subscriptions]</option>
			<option value="wol" $frmjmpsel[wol]>$vbphrase[whos_online]</option>
			<option value="search" $frmjmpsel[search]>$vbphrase[search_forums]</option>
			<option value="home" $frmjmpsel[home]>$vbphrase[forums_home]</option>
			<option value="-1">--------------------</option>
		</optgroup>
		<optgroup label="$vbphrase[forums]">
		$jumpforumbits
		</optgroup>
	</select>$gobutton
	</form>
</div>
</if>

Replace the contents of your option template with:

<if condition="$GLOBALS['donavjump']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]forumid=$optionvalue">$optiontitle</a></td></tr>
<else />
<option value="$optionvalue" class="$optionclass" $optionselected>$optiontitle</option>
</if>

In your navbar template add:

<if condition="$vboptions['useforumjump']">
<td id="navjump" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#navjump">$vbphrase[forum_jump]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navjump"); </script></td>
</if>

Where you want the link to the forum jump to appear.

Still in the navbar template add:

<if condition="$vboptions['useforumjump']">
$GLOBALS[navjump]
</if>

<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

[BarBeQue]

I installed the sidebar hack by Dark_Wizard.
Now one of the sidebar menu's will be a forum jump menu. Originally i was gonna hardcode all links in that menu, but this sounds sweet.

Gonna see if i can mod it to work in a sidebar instead of as a navbar menu.
Unless you can tell me what to change, that would be a lot easier

[BarBeQue]

hmm still no luck moddign it..

If anyone has an idea, please let me know!

[Pitman]

Is it possible to have sub menus? Like a menu that pop's out of the side of the menu item you roll over, like for sub forums.

[NTLDR]

Not with vBulletin's menu system.

[MentaL]

maybe add section support so it doesnt take up whole screen for those with larger sections =P

[Polo]

What do i need to do to only show parent forums? without the subforums... you see i have alot of sub forums and the list is big... so if anyone knows how to accomplish this please let me know.

[PET]

I'm wondering how this will look for my boards. I have 110 categoryes

[Polo]

he he, yeah, i know, that is why i asked is there is a way to show only parent categories, i dont even have 50 and my list drops down big time, having to scroll for a while to see the full list.

[b4ne]

I cannot get the Link to show me all teh forums...

<if condition="$vboptions['useforumjump']">
$GLOBALS[navjump]
</if>

The Link is in the Navbar but If I click on it it doesnt show me the forums
