Strongly Recommended:
If using this style I highly recommend replacing your vb default icons and smilies! The default icons that come with vbulletin are just not good enough for darker skins. I am using a couple sets from tommyturnage

Here is an example of what it looks like and what your icons can look like:
vB Default:

Using Default Post Icons For ANY Background Color by tommyturnage

I would also recommend replacing your smilies with Smilies For ANY Background Color by tommyturnage.

I made changes in the FORUMDISPLAY template, but nothing changes in the thread lists..

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$show['search_engine']">
    <if condition="$show['threadicons']">
        <td class="thead" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
    <else />
        <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
    </if>
    <td class="thead" width="100%">
        <if condition="$show['threadratings']"><span style="float:$stylevar[right]">$vbphrase[rating]</span></if>
        $vbphrase[thread] / $vbphrase[thread_starter]
    </td>
    <td class="thead" width="29%" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap">$vbphrase[last_post]</span></td>
    <td class="thead" width="8%" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap">$vbphrase[replies]</span></td>
    <td class="thead" width="8%" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap">$vbphrase[views]</span></td>
<else />
    <if condition="$show['threadicons']">
        <td class="thead" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
    <else />
        <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
    </if>
    <td class="thead" width="100%">
        <if condition="$show['threadratings']"><span style="float:$stylevar[right]"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=desc&amp;sort=voteavg" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[rating]</a> $sortarrow[voteavg]</span></if>
        <a href="$sorturl&amp;order=asc&amp;sort=title" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[thread]</a> $sortarrow[title] /
        <a href="$sorturl&amp;order=asc&amp;sort=postusername" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[thread_starter]</a> $sortarrow[postusername]
    </td>
    <td class="thead" width="29%" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=desc&amp;sort=lastpost" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[last_post]</a> $sortarrow[lastpost]</span></td>
    <td class="thead" width="8%" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=desc&amp;sort=replycount" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[replies]</a> $sortarrow[replycount]</span></td>
    <td class="thead" width="8%" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=desc&amp;sort=views" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[views]</a> $sortarrow[views]</span></td>

    <if condition="$show['inlinemod']">
        <if condition="$show['popups']">
            <td class="vbmenu_control" id="imod" align="center" title="$vbphrase[moderation]"> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register('imod'); </script> </td>
        <else />
            <td class="thead" align="center">
                <input type="checkbox" name="allbox" id="checkall_all" title="$vbphrase[check_uncheck_all]" onclick="inlineMod.check_all()" />
            </td>
        </if>

Only thing I can think of at this point, is just to wait and try it again with 3.8.1

Hi guys,

Im having a real headache trying to get a dropdown menu to work and have been sitting here for ages trying to get it to work.

What i need is a drop down menu from the menu image like i already have on my main theme {screenshot attached}

I just cant seem to get it to work when doing this through the header template.

The code i used to get it working on my main theme was

Code:

<td id="stats" class="vbmenu_control">
    <a href="#">Cod 5 Stats</a>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        vbmenu_register("stats");
</script>
</td>

and

Code:

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="stats_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead">Cod 5 Stats</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite"><a 
href="/Stats$session[sessionurl_q]">DGK | Hardcore Server</a></td>
<tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite"><a 
href="/cstats$session[sessionurl_q]">DGK | Bolt Rifles Server</a></td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

I need to convert that code over so it works without the menu header text and just when someone clicks on the image in the menu it drops down with the options like i have in the screenshot attached.

Help anyone???? please

Kind Regards and thanks in advance

Rob

Again the Nav button setup is cool.

Here is how you can make those buttons also open up drop-down menus.

I will use 2 examples.

For the new Post button, and a drop-down so that one can look at new posts at specidfic times. I did not create the hack, just mearly made it work on the button.

Common Templates/header

Use this to create the button and link

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$show['member']">

<td width="50" height="55"><a href="search.php?do=getnew$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav_newpost2.gif" width="50" height="55" border="0" id="navbar_posts"  alt=""/></a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_posts"); </script></td></if>

You will need to check you image path ect.. and take note of moving the id="" from the td tag into the url tag. This will get rid of the little dropdown arrow.

Then your drop down menu.

Find this

PHP Code:


			
<!-- content table -->

$spacer_open

And place it above that.

Some thing this..

PHP Code:


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

        <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_posts_menu" style="display:none">

            <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[get_posts_nav]</td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">Get All New Posts</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&minutes=15" accesskey="2">Last 15 Minutes</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&minutes=30" accesskey="2">Last 30 Minutes</a></td></tr>

            

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&hours=1" accesskey="2">Last Hour</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&hours=2" accesskey="2">2 Hours</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&hours=4" accesskey="2">4 Hours</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&hours=8" accesskey="2">8 Hours</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&hours=12" accesskey="2">12 Hours</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&days=1" accesskey="2">1 Day</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&days=2" accesskey="2">2 Days</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&days=7" accesskey="2">7 Days</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&days=14" accesskey="2">14 Days</a></td></tr>



            </table>

        </div>

    </if>

And your end result is attached as a screeny..also attached a screenshot of doing this with vbplaza.

Again these are not my hacks, I just made the dropdowns work with these buttons.

This is a good idea and i sort of have it working BUT....... if there ar no posts within 15 minutes and you select '' post within last 15 minutes'' from the drop down, instead of giving you the '' there are no posts to display'' message( the standard VB message) it shows post from the last few days, which isn't realy correct, are you able to sort this? and this happens if there are no ost in any of the drop downs you want

So you need a nav_newpost image with the white text? For the coding just add where ever you want it to go

Have the Home button go home and the Forum button go to the Forum URL. You just need to fix the url in the code.

For the "Popup" menu controls to work, you need to put that part of the code in the Navbar template.

Here's a good embedded way to do it, if you follow the community example:

Code:

<!-- community link menu -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="community_menu" style="display:none;margin-top:3px" align="$stylevar[left]">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[community_links]</td></tr>
		$template_hook[navbar_community_menu_start]
		<if condition="$show['quick_links_groups']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://simplegfx.net/forums/forums.php">Forum Main</a></td></tr>
					<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="group.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[social_groups]</a></td></tr>
		</if>
		<if condition="$show['quick_links_albums']">
					<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="album.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[pictures_and_albums]</a></td></tr>
		</if>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist"><if condition="$show['friends_and_contacts']">$vbphrase[contacts_and_friends]<else />$vbphrase[contacts]</if></a></td></tr>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td></tr>
		$template_hook[navbar_community_menu_end]
		</table>
	</div>
	<!-- / community link menu -->

In the header is where you'll put the button and code similar to the community button:

Code:

<if condition="$show['communitylink'] AND $show['popups']">
			<td width="50" height="55"><a id="community" href="$show[nojs_link]#community" rel="nofollow" accesskey="3"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav_comm.gif" width="50" height="55" border="0" alt=""/></a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("community",1); </script></td>
		<else />

I didn't initially answer as you haven't clicked install for this skin and the example you posted is not the style offered in this thread

dgkrob · #**120** 03-10-2009, 12:06 AM
