QuickTab · **Released**: 05-28-2008

Info:
I wanted a nice dropdown menu with a login form and if you have logged in there are QuickLinks.
I used mootools for it, works really good.
All texts are phrased, so when you install it it's in the language of your board.
Just download and install if you like it

Demo:
Here's a demo for you of how it works: Demo here

Installation:
1. Download QuickTab.zip and upload the tab file in your forum directory.

2. In the headinclude template find

Code:

<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

And add below:

Code:

<link href="tab/tabstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="tab/tab.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="tab/mootools.v1.00.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="tab/tabset.js"></script>

3. After that add on top of the header template:

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 1">

<div id="fxContainer">
    <div id="fxTarget">
        <div id="fxPadding" class="wrapper">

</div>
</if>

To change the tab text:
Go to /tab/tabset.js to change the Open Menu > Close Menu text.
All other texts are vBulletin phrases.

To change the color of the tab:
Change fx-tab.png with photoshop or a similar program that handles transparent png's to the color you want.

After you've done that you have to change the following:

Find in tab.css:

Code:

#fxTarget { 
    background: #3e5a7d;

And change #3e5a7d to the colorcode you want the tab to be.

Alternate QuickTab:

Here's an alternate QuickTab layout:

Use this code instead of the code in step 3.

3. After that add on top of the header template:

Wow, great work man!

Thanks

This looks really interesting - I will try later thanks.

Lionel · #6 05-29-2008, 12:40 PM

How would I go to make the pull down wider so it accomodates more than one row?

Never mind... Found it. Thanks. I've always wanted that rockettheme pulldown.

Mind you that you only have an "open" option in your quicktab. It can't be closed for some reason!

jacx · #9 05-29-2008, 06:11 PM

great, just simply great!

jacx · #10 05-29-2008, 06:53 PM

Here is a question, im not a coder so excuse me if i ask the obvious!

The drop down is great, however is there a way of dropping down twice.

What i mean is say for example i open the tab, i see gaming so i click the tab OR hover over it, is there a way it can then drop down with more options/links.

I got a number of things i want to add, but rather than being rows, expanding the drop downs would be better and look sexy as hell!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
