Forum Quick Jump menu

Hey guys this is my first hack I have made so be gentle.

What does it do?

This creates a drop down menu with a list of your forums so where ever you are on your site you can use the quick jump to go direct to the forum your want.

|How to Install|
\--------------/

You need to go to your admincp > styles and templates > style manager > select your style > Edit templates > Header

Find:

<if condition="$show['popups']">		
			<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
				<if condition="$show['member']">
				<td class="element_control_nav"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>

Above Add:

<!--- tidy_boys Forum Dropdown --->

<td id="forum_options" class="vbmenu_control">
    <a href="$vboptions[bburl]">Forum Quick Jump</a>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        vbmenu_register("forum_options");
    </script>
</td>

<!---End tidy_boys Forum Dropdown --->

Then go to admincp > styles and templates > style manager > select your style > Edit templates > navbar


Find:

<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

Add after:

<!--- tidy_boys Forum Dropdown --->

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="forum_options_menu" style="display:none">
   <table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		<tr align="center">

</div>


<!---End tidy_boys Forum Dropdown --->

Where you see the x you replace it with the forum id. You will need to play around with the code if you need more forums in the drop down its really easy.


Dont forget to click install


Enjoy...

Hey, looks alot better than the original jump menu. Too bad you gotta go back n' forth in the navbar template. ^^;

[tidy_boy]

I will be coding the new verison so when you add a forum in the admincp it adds it into the menu.

I have got a lot on at the mo so it will be done when i get chance


Thanks for the positive comments

[Snake]

Interesting!

/me installs

Remember to click install

I use something similar on my forums, but mine seperate the categories horizontally to save some space for users running a loser resolution, or more forums. Although this idea looks good too

I'll keep a lookout for this version. Nice work so far
