Mini Mods - Navbar Dropdown Menu Arrows

Will work on all vBulletin versions.


Description

This minor template edit will remove the arrows that are to the right of all links with drop down menus in the navbar.

Installation Time

About 30 seconds!



In the navbar template

Find:

vbmenu_register("community")

Replace with:

vbmenu_register("community", true)

Find:

vbmenu_register("navbar_search")

Replace with:

vbmenu_register("navbar_search", true)

Find:

vbmenu_register("usercptools")

Replace with

vbmenu_register("usercptools", true)

Only a small modification but I think it neatens up the navbar on certain styles.

In some templates the arrows don't come over very well (i know its a template thing), just because of that.............. Great work to bring it on for the people who want to know how to do this

In alot of styles, the arrows don't show well if you're replacing the default vB arrow.
Almost all of my custom clients ask me to remove it, and I have been for years.

Really, people are smarter than you think. All they have to do is hover over the word on the navbar to get the dropdown menu.
Good going choccyclaire.

Its a simple thing. The arrows don't always display the same in some browsers... at least customized themes. So it is an eye sore that is nice to easily remove.

Whether or not our users are stupid and can't figure it out is irrelevant to the fact that this post was helpful for a quick solution to an otherwise maddening template change during an update...

a simple template edit is better than this

in ADMINCP go to styles and templates
Click Style Manager
expand any of your custom styles
Select MAIN CSS

add the following to Additional CSS Definitions

.vbmenu_control img {
display:none;
}

or

.navitem img {
display:none;
}

or both, add these to each style and icon will go
you dont need to make any template edits
