UKBL ~ Quality Drop Down Menu System
Developer Last Online: Feb 2012
UKBL ~ Quality Drop Down Menu System You wanted Drop down Menu's that were easy to install and edit, Well now you've got it Live Demo http://www.aboxcafe.com/index.php http://www.wheelsbd.com/ Compatible with almost ALL Browsers. Hi Guys, i've had so many messages about My "Easy Menu Tabs" and when was i going to do Dropdown Tabs, Well i've listened and now i can happily add UKBL ~ Quality Drop Down menu's to our list of modifications. This is just so easy to edit and install, as long as you feel confident with a few simple edits and uploading a graphics file to your images directory or even your photobucket account, if you don't want to mess about uploading to your server. UKBL ~ Quality Drop Downs sit quite happily on top of your forums accessable from all pages of the forum They look like any bog standard Menu Nav bar but when you hover the mouse over it you'll see the dropdowns, I've uploaded a test version to my forum, Take a look for yourselves http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum I've left the Top White Easy Men Bar in place also so you can compare both of them. When you go over the menu bar the dropdowns should appear like in the picture below See how the chosen links are highlighted So now we come to the installation stage. Download the dropdown.zip file below and open the VBOrg_Menu.txt file in notepad or any other text editor, as we need to edit a few files. The first one we need to edit is the url of our Graphic File, So to cut a long story short we'll upload our graphic file to our Photobucket account, or any other account or image directory on your server, So firstly find Code:
/*"""""""" (MAIN) Container Edit Picture URL Here :-) """"""""*/ #qm0 { padding:5px; background-image:url(http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/ukbusinesslive/center_tile_blue.gif); border-width:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#eeeeee; } Code:
background-image:url(http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/ukbusinesslive/center_tile_blue.gif); Then we go and do the menu edits, You don't want your members click on your forum menu and ending up on my site :erm: So what we need to do now is change the menu links for yours, It take about 15 min's but its not hard to do, so lets do it..... First find where our menu starts, This will be right at the bottom of the code, The HTML part of this and the first bit we need to change starts from here... Code:
<li><a class="qmparent" href="javascript:void(0)">MY CONTROL PANEL</a> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/profile.php?do=editavatar" title="Edit Avatar">Edit Avatar</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/profile.php?do=editsignature" title="Edit Signature">Edit Signature</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions" title="Edit Options">Edit Options</a></li> <li><span class="qmdivider qmdividerx" ></span></li> <li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription" title="List Subscriptions">List Subscriptions</a></li> </ul></li> Code:
<li><a class="qmparent" href="javascript:void(0)">MY CONTROL PANEL</a> Code:
<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/profile.php?do=editavatar" title="Edit Avatar">Edit Avatar</a></li> If you want to change the link altogether and put your own, then replace the full URL with one that you want and don't forget to edit the end part "Edit Avatar" as that is the title thats shown on the dropdown. When you've finished all your editing, we need to upload this whole code to your Header Template of the Style that your Currantly using on your forum, So once you've saved your edited code, Just copy and paste directly to your Header, Go right to the end and click paste, save the template and thats it, The Graphic File which you need to upload to your server or image host is also in the zip file. So easy and a great improvement to any VBulletin Forum This is a Freebie for all you members on VB.org with my compliments If anyone wants any custom menus made, Just PM me I'll help where i can, Just bear in mind a menu like this takes a good couple of hours or so, so a donation is more than welcomed Oh almost Forgot guys, If you like it, Please Click on Installed, as this really does motivate me to improving these hacks UPDATE 09.02.09 Uploaded a New Zip File, Black Menu.Zip This is the same as this original except that its black for darker Websites and Forums, Instructions are the same as above, and comes complete with customised Graphics which will need to be uploaded to your /images/ directory. UPDATE 23.02.09 For some of you Admins who prefer menu Buttons as opposed to a menu bar, i've made some buttons based on the above menu formate, You can install it by following the same instructions as the main install, Just upload the graphics and edit your menu links and thats it. Experiment with the css to change colors width of boxes etc, Add more or as little as you want, the important thing is to have fun learning. UPDATE: 26th April 2009 Centering the Menu so that it appears central There has been much debate about trying to centralise the menu tabs, I didn't want to edit the code too much as this would make a mess of it in different browsers, However i've found that there is a way The easiest way to center menu content is to place it inside of a center aligned table, as shown below: Code:
<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center"><tr><td> ----[ your menu structure]---- </td></tr></table> Hope this helps :up: Enjoy Download Now

You could post your header script here and I'll take a look at it.

OK had a look and can't see any div or tables as I thought... but I did find the reason for the look. I can't see anywhere in your edit (where you placed in the url's for your menu) where javascript is turned off. For instance you have: Code:
<li><span class="qmdivider qmdividery" ></span></li> <li><a class="qmparent" href="/forums/usercp.php">CONTROL PANEL</a> Code:
<li><span class="qmdivider qmdividery"></span></li> <li><a class="qmparent" href="javascript:void(0);">CONTROL PANEL</a> I tried several menu headers with the above javascripts and the menu moved along from left (justified) to right on one line. Basically what I'm saying that if you replace the top code with the second code I posted for each section in your menu the menu will show properly. |

That doesn't seem to help. I feel there may be something else affecting the format because I've tried deleting everything in my header except the navbar script and it still didn't work.
I think the problem may lie in that the section of my forum that is the header just keeps shrinking as you shrink your browser. If you go on my site and start shrinking your browser, the forums section eventually starts getting cut off, but the header just keeps shrinking. |

Why is the navbar script in the header?

"When you've finished all your editing, we need to upload this whole code to your Header Template of the Style"
That's what it says in the installation instructions. If it doesn't go there, then where? |

I am still looking through the code and a couple of things for instance: Code:
<!-- ********************************************** --> <!-- END User Login and Info --> <!-- ********************************************** --> __________ <!-- ********************************************** --> <!-- START Mood Chooser --> <!-- ********************************************** --> I'll let you know if I find anything else... (although that's not the reason for your problems) |

Sometime I can't see the tree's from the woods...
Look for: Code:
/*"""""""" (MAIN) Container""""""""*/ /*""""""Edit the second value for padding to adjust centering"""""*/ #qm0 { padding:5px 275px; margin:0px; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(images/nav/gradient_16.gif); border-width:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#000000; } Change to: Code:
/*"""""""" (MAIN) Container""""""""*/ /*""""""Edit the second value for padding to adjust centering"""""*/ #qm0 { padding:5px 5px; margin:0px; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(images/nav/gradient_16.gif); border-width:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#000000; } Job done! |

No that doesn't help. Thanks for trying though.

Really.. I haven't changed you header except the padding as mentioned above.
Here's a screen shot from my test site.... now remember I haven't loaded any of the graphics from your site so it looks a bit naff... but the navigations works as expected. This was taken at 1024x768 |
