Forum Home Enhancements - Sub-Forum Dropdown Menu

This is NOT my creation but it has yet to be posted in the vBulletin 3.6 Template Modifications Section. This mod was originally posted in the 3.5 Section by DanLai https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99821

I have though tweaked it a bit for use with vB 3.6.x

Description. This is a Mod to make sub-forums appear in a drop-down menu fashion.

1. +/- sign for forums with/without unread posts

Step 1. Open:
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:
Code:

<strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]

Replace with:
Code:

<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->
	<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="get">
		<input name="s" value="" type="hidden">
		<input name="daysprune" value="-1" type="hidden">
		<select name="f" onchange="this.form.submit();">
                 <option value="$forum[forumid]" selected><strong>Sub Forums</strong></option>
			$forum[subforums]
		</select>
                
	</form>
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

Step 2. Open:
forumhome_subforumbit_nopost
forumhome_subforumbit_post

Replace the templates with:
Code:

<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->
<option value="$forum[forumid]">

<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == 'new'">
+&nbsp;
<else />
-&nbsp;
</if>

$forum[title]

</option>
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

Not for me either. The forums do not show up in the pull down list.

Thank you, I think I will use this one on my web site!

[Ksb2050]

This isnt working. All I get is a + sign with the parent forum name? What am I doing wrong??

Parent Forum: CLub House
what I see instead of the dropdown: - Club House

Interesting! but no quite sure

[Harley D]

Interesting, however too many folks having issues.
Will check this out later to see if things get resolved.

I had the same problem that everything shoed up but when u click the drop down no sub forums are in it. I even tried changing how many sub forums shows in vboptions, didn't work.

Dosnt work for me at ALL. I can see the drop down when I click "preivew" but not on forums it self. I am guessing a mod is causing it, maybe VBa?

[Pirat3]

Ah figured it out, if it does not work for you, enable forum depth::

Increase the subforum depth:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options -> Depth of Sub-Forums

I've just installed this mod and does work great.

But I was wondering how about about to add some color on it ? I mean, the background is white and looks flat. I wish I had this dropdown menu just looking like the dropdown menu on navibar, that would really great.

If someone can give any tips I'd be glad.

Tks.
