Forum Home Enhancements - Sub-Forum Dropdown Menu

This is NOT my creation but it has yet to be posted in the vBulletin 3.6 Template Modifications Section. This mod was originally posted in the 3.5 Section by DanLai https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99821

I have though tweaked it a bit for use with vB 3.6.x

Description. This is a Mod to make sub-forums appear in a drop-down menu fashion.

1. +/- sign for forums with/without unread posts

Step 1. Open:
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:
Code:

<strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]

Replace with:
Code:

<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->
	<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="get">
		<input name="s" value="" type="hidden">
		<input name="daysprune" value="-1" type="hidden">
		<select name="f" onchange="this.form.submit();">
                 <option value="$forum[forumid]" selected><strong>Sub Forums</strong></option>
			$forum[subforums]
		</select>
                
	</form>
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

Step 2. Open:
forumhome_subforumbit_nopost
forumhome_subforumbit_post

Replace the templates with:
Code:

<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->
<option value="$forum[forumid]">

<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == 'new'">
+&nbsp;
<else />
-&nbsp;
</if>

$forum[title]

</option>
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

At first I couldn't get this mod to work, but after playing with the Display Settings, I finally got it working!

In order to get this mod to work "For those having problems"... Try the settings below...

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options ->

Depth of Forums - Forum Home set to 1

Depth of Forums - Forum Display Set to 1

Depth of Sub-Forums Set to 2

Please post if this works for you.

I also would prefer the dropdown to the right of the Forum Title rather than below. If I manage to make the change, I'll post it.
