"Quick Links" Menu in three columns · **Released**: 08-28-2005

This is my first time ever releasing something like this so don't byte.

Ever got annoyed how the quick links menu was a tad tall? (those of you with the lower resolutions.) I have devised a solution.

Installation:

Login to your Admin Control panel and open the style manager.
Edit the templates of the style you wish to apply this to.
Double-click Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates to expand it.
Double-click the template bit "navbar".

Find

Code:

	<!-- user cp tools menu -->
 
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercptools_menu" style="display:none">
 
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
 
		
 
		<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[quick_links]</td></tr> 	 
 
		<if condition="$vboptions['enablesearches']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td></tr></if>
 
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></td></tr>
 
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#" onclick="window.open('misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist&amp;focus=1','buddylist','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=250,height=300'); return false;">$vbphrase[open_buddy_list]</a></td></tr>
 
				
 
		<tr><td class="thead"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_control_panel]</a></td></tr>
 
		<if condition="$show['siglink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editsignature">$vbphrase[edit_signature]</a></td></tr></if>

		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile">$vbphrase[edit_profile]</a></td></tr>
 
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editoptions">$vbphrase[edit_options]</a></td></tr>

	<!-- / user cp tools menu -->

Oh.. forgot to add. This will also work well on vB 3.0.X series as well.
