Mod Drop Down Hack ((FINAL))

Mod Drop Down Hack ((FINAL))

This mod will add a drop down scroll in your moderator column. Originally designed by 411blaze for UBB6x and I'm not sure if he released it for vbulletin, but here it is. I will offer limited support, but its to simple to configure wrong.

How can i get rid of the extra blank space on my forms, works great but would be nicer if i could save a little space on this

how do i get rid of the gaps

thanks

I tried to get this hack to work, and just could not succeed as something in the database seems to stop the hack working.

I have come to this conclusion in the following way.

I did a clean install of vbulletin as a test with no entries in the database, installed the dropdown hack and it worked first time.

However when i then edited config.php and changed the database back to my real populated database, the drop down disapeared!

Any ideas as this one has been driving me nuts.

Thanks

Great hack!

Only problem I can see is for macintosh users. The moderator popup in 7 point is unreadable and worse is the extra inch of space to the left of the image and popup in that part of the table.

Anyone see this or have a fix? I can't figure out how to cure this on the mac w/out affecting the pc.

I changed the background color of the drop box, but how do I get the font to be white.

Background = #003366
Font - #FFFFFF

Could somebody help? This is in the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template. I edited the background color by changing the bold background part below

PHP Code:

<form><td bgcolor="#13486D" valign="middle" align="right" nowrap>
<IMG align="absmiddle" SRC="images/team.gif">
<SELECT NAME="newLoc" onChange="jumpPage(this.form.newLoc)" style="font-size: 7pt; [B]background-color: #dfdfdf[/B]; font-family: Arial, Tahoma;" maxlength="20">
<OPTION VALUE="#">moderators</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="#">---------------------</OPTION>
$forum[moderators]</select></td></form></tr> 


to the color I wanted (#003366). NOW how do I change the color (when not selected) to white, but keep when selected white too? Thanks.

Now, ONE (or a few) final question(s).

Can I get the arrow you click on the background color too? The color I want is #003366

ALSO (lol, want it perfect), when you scroll your mouse over a name the background around it turns blue with the dots around it. Can I have that blue as a certain color too (#003366)?? THANKS TO ANYONE WHO CAN DO THIS.

GO TWIG DEEZ. You're awesome.

i'm not so certain, but i believe that's your system colours;
like, whatever your menu selection colour is on your computer,
that's the highlight colour on the drop down menu.
same with the arrow... that's the 3d object colour on your system.

control panel > display > appearance.

i'm not sure if there's a way to override those,
and if there is... i don't know it. sorry!

This hack is the first time I ever installed one and with the help of a couple of kind people I was able to get it to work (I am a newbie). I do have a question. I would like my drop down boxes to be uniform in width but they are not depending on the length of my moderators usernames. My problem is not with the max length (it works fine with the longer usernames) its with the drop down menus that only have mods with short usernames are not as wide as the ones with the long usernames. In my way of thinking I need to code it so the drop down box has to be a certain width so all of the boxes are uniform. Can anyone help me with this?
