Navdrop Forum Menu

bug fix 8/5/04


This hack allows a simple, drop-down menu which can be displayed anywhere on a template on your forum using replacement variables.

This hack works very well if you are confined to space, or if you can't fit the links you need in the vbulletin 3 navbar menu (horizontal).

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to post.

BUG FIX - AUGUST 5TH, 2004
mod attatchment updated!

Gah, me and my lame configuring for public releases...

Alright, in the replacement variable you added, replace the modification code

<!-- Dropdown menu in navbar by defi -->
<form name="defisdropdownmenu">
<select style="font-size:9px;color:#000000;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:bold;" name="menu" onChange="location=document.Subnavdefihackthing.menu.options[document.defisdropdownmenu.menu.selectedIndex].value;">

replace with

<!-- Dropdown menu in navbar by defi -->
<form name="defisdropdownmenu">
<select style="font-size:9px;color:#000000;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:bold;" name="menu" onChange="location=document.defisdropdownmenu.menu.options[document.defisdropdownmenu.menu.selectedIndex].value;">

Cool and thanks just what i was after.

Just one small thing, when i use the html option how do i get the page to open in a new window once i select it from the menu.

*How to add new options*

Quick HTML lesson here. If you want to add more links (Example would be a gallery link), you would simply type the following in the code above.

<option value="http://www.domain.com/gallery"> *OPTION NAME* </option>

*The option tag ( <option> </option> ) represents a new link to be displayed in the drop down box.
*The value="http://www.domain.com/gallery" is the hyperlink the user will be sent to when they click the option.
*The OPTION NAME is to be replaced with the text that will be shown in the drop down menu.
*To reorder the listings, simply move all the text in the option tag above or below the tags already listen.
