ok i've seen the "quick style chooser" edit which makes the drop down.... but can someone tell me how i'd go about setting up the same kind of quick style chooser, but by process of a button to be placed with "User CP, Home, FAQ" etc. buttons at the top of the forums that when clicked would make the list drop down like, for example, the search feature does?.... thanks in advance :smoke:

Hi

You will not be able to do this with just template edits! The reason why is that the template 'option' is used by many of the other templates to create drop boxes! You could hard code each of the styles in the 'navbar' template, but what good is that if you change style order or add new styles!

Here is quick mod.....

Follow me...

Open Admin Panel

Go to Styles & Templates >> Style Manager

In the the select box for the style you want to add "NAVBAR STYLE SELECTOR", select Add New Template

When the new template page opens, add the following!

title

Code:

navbar_style_bit

template

Code:

   <tr>
    <td class='vbmenu_option' style='white-space : nowrap'><if condition="$httptype"><a href='$httpurls'>$httplink</a><else /><strong>$httplink</strong></if></td>
   </tr>

Save it...

Go to Styles & Templates >> Search in Templates

Search in Style: select the stle you are adding "NAVBAR STYLE SELECTOR",

Search for text: chooser

Click >> Find

Style Manager >> Opens

Click on the template footer

template >> footer >> Opens

Click on the Find button

Now Find This...

Code:

	<if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
		<td class="tfoot">
			<select name="styleid" id="ressel" onchange="switch_styleid(this)">
				<optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_style_chooser]">
					$quickchooserbits
				</optgroup>
			</select>
		</td>
	</if>

Replace With

Code:

<td class="tfoot">&nbsp;</td>

Click >> Save

Style Manager >> Opens

Click on the template navbar

template >> navbar >> Opens

Search for this!!!

Code:

<if condition="$show['popups']">

Now Find This...

Code:

<if condition="$show['popups']">
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

Replace With

Code:

<if condition="$show['popups']">
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
<if condition="$show['quickchooser']"><!-- s / header styles changer -->
 <div class='vbmenu_popup' id='navbar_styles_menu' style='display : none'>
  <table cellpadding='4' cellspacing='1' border='0'>
   <tr>
    <td class='thead' align='center'>$vbphrase[select_styles]</td>
   </tr>
$navbarstylesbits
  </table>
 </div>
<!-- e / header styles changer --></if>

Search for this!!!

Code:

vbmenu_register("navbar_search")

Now Find This...

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search"); </script></td>
			</if>

Replace With

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search"); </script></td>
			</if>
<if condition="$show['quickchooser']"><td id="navbar_styles" class="vbmenu_control"><a name='vb_styles' accesskey='5'>$vbphrase[navbar_styles]</a><script type='text/javascript'> vbmenu_register('navbar_styles');</script></td></if>

Click >> Save

Go to Languages & Phrases >> Phrase Manager

Phrase Type GLOBAL (add (2) new phrases)

Code:

1.

varname: navbar_styles
text: Styles

2.

varname: select_styles
text: Select Style

Now the Script edits!!!

open (./global.php)

Find This...

Code:

	$quickchooserbits = construct_style_options(-1, '--', true, true);

Replace With

Code:

	$quickchooserbits = construct_style_options(-1, '--', true, true);
	$navbarstylesbits = navbar_styles_builder ( $session[sessionurl], $vboptions['styleid'] );

Save changes, close './global.php'

open ( ./includes/functions.php)

Find This...

Code:

	return $stylesetlist;
}

Replace With

Code:

	return $stylesetlist;
}


function navbar_styles_builder ( $sess, $csid )
{
	$out = '';

	if ( is_array ( $GLOBALS['stylechoosercache'][-1][1] ) )
	{
		$cs = $GLOBALS['stylechoosercache'][-1][1];

		for ( $i = 0; $i < sizeof ( $cs ); $i++ )
		{
			if ( $csid != $cs[$i]['styleid'] )
			{
				$httptype = true;
			}
			else
			{
				$httptype = false;
			}

			$httpurls = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?" . $sess . "styleid=" . $cs[$i]['styleid'] . "#style";
			$httplink = $cs[$i]['title'];

			eval ( '$out .= "' . fetch_template ( 'navbar_style_bit' ) . '";' );
		}
	}
	return ( $out );
}

Save changes, close './includes/functions.php'

You now have NAVBAR STYLE SELECTOR installed

C, ya...
