Forum Home Enhancements - Sub-Forum Dropdown Menu

This is template mod I released for 3.6 Seeing that the original vB code remained the same the template edits should still work in 3.7.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 --------------------------------------->

Is it possible to set this function only to work with specific forums but not through out the whole site?

Currently my site has
Categories
Forums
Sub-forums
sub sub forums

I hope to be able to configure it that the drop down menu only appear at the sub forum level, showing the sub-sub forum titles, can it be done?

Thanks.

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

does the above code replace all the code in the subforumbit_post & subforumbit_no postsection?
