Dropdown box In Postbit

[hobbybox]

I want to add a link in my Psotbit that has a drop down box - not the one you get when you hover over a members name - but seperate link...

any help on how to do this?

In the articles forum is an article on adding dropdowns to your navbar. The basic premise is the same for adding dropdowns anywhere. So, just follow that article - How To Add Drop Down Menus To Your Navbar

I got it to work - however for some reason now there are like 8 down arrows after the link - i know there should be 1 but im not sure why repeating.

Well, the only way someone can help with that is to see the code you used.

I did this in the postbit_legacy where I wanted the item to show

<if condition="$show['popups']">

<td id="albummenu">
    <a href="#">Album Menu</a>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        vbmenu_register("albummenu");
    </script>
</td>

</if>

I removed the Class since it highlighted and underlined it - but either way the same result.

In the navbar area i put

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="albummenu_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead">Album Menu</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
content row
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

I noticed also tht when I did this - it only worked on the first post - all other posts in a thread linked to that post - it didnt do the popup menu.

Your id must be unique. So, use something like albummenu_menu_$post[postid]

You should supply a link to a page so we can see what is going on.

This is killing me...

Postibit Legacy

<if condition="$show['popups']">

<td id="albummenu_menu_$post[postid]">
    <a href="#">My Albums</a>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        vbmenu_register("albummenu_menu_$post[postid]");
    </script>
</td>

</if>

Navbar

<!-- Album Menu -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="albummenu_menu_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead">My Album</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
content row
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- /Album Menu -->

this is resulting in errors on the page - there is now only 1 drop down arrow - but no drop down box - if you click on the My Albums link it will take you to the top post in the thread.

Ok some of the problem might have been I put the navbar stuff in navbar insted of postbit_legacty

I put both items in postbit legacy and the dropdown box nows works - BUT when you click it it still takes you to that post - and there are errors...

New Code - BOTH in postbit_legacy

<if condition="$show['popups']">

<td id="albummenu_$post[postid]">
    <a href="#">My Albums</a>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        vbmenu_register("albummenu_$post[postid]");
    </script>
</td>

</if>

<!-- Album Menu -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="albummenu_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead">My Album</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
content row
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- /Album Menu -->

I see a dropdown. But, all you have is "content row" and it isn't linked to anything so what do you think is supposed to happen?

[hobbybox]

Lynne,

Im sorry I dont know what I was thinking...my head was in a fog - all set now...thank you.
