[release] Dynamic Style Set Dropdown · **Released**: 11-01-2002

Author: filburt1
Description: Chen's style set dropdown hack, extended description below.
Demo: None yet
Screenshot: http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mo...=&postid=14502

Be sure to apply this mod to every template set you have! Otherwise the dropdown will disappear when you change style sets.

This is Chen's style dropdown without hacking. Unlike the style set dropdown mod released here, it doesn't require updating the code each time a style set is added/deleted. The tradeoff is that it adds one query to forumhome.

Unlike Chen's hack, this will not show how many people are using each style set (would mean more queries). But, just like his, this does not update your user CP style set, it only cookies you with a new style set.

No offense but I think you are. The query will always return an alphabetical listing of style sets and their ids.

Run the query in PMA or the MySQL console and you'll see what phpinclude is getting and parsing to create the dropdown.

No offense at all by me

I appreciate it that you sit here and help me on this... but I admit that now I'm even more confused...

what does this mean? That it displays the styles according to their IDs or according to the first letter? (alphabetically)...

sorry but my English is not so good so I dont easily understand

It sorts it by title alphabetically, but it probably would get confused by different case (i.e., uppercase and lowercase) and sort them differently.

Ok.

The "thing" in my case is that I cannot really reproduce the... problem...
because back when I had the "Blue" as default... it would be displayed first *anyway* because the name starts with "b" which is a letter alphabeticaly first in the order than D and E.

But what I have done is that I placed those numbers in front of the style names... so I guess now I'm ok...

thanx for the support Filburt
I really appreciate it.

works great thx!

I added it to my header though so it can be changed on any page. =)

Thanks a lot Now me and my members don't have to go into my usercp whenever I put in a new style to view it.

They really should though because this is just a cheap hack. Updating your User CP pref will always stick, this will not.

instead of a style name...

so when a guest or a member sees the board, the thing he sees in the box is *not* a style name, but the text "choose style"

can we do this?

Filburt

do you think we could do this?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
