Drop Down Nav [Library Support]

[c?????????ƒ????]

Is there a way that you could perhaps add some icon to signify that it drops down? For example;

Manual
And that will give members a hint that its not just an ordinary navbar... SI something like this available or possible?

Don't seem to be able to get sub-links working, or for sub-links to scroll down to specific posts on a page.

[Chloe]

Anyone?

Drop Down Nav

Plugin Info & Instructions

This will allow for you to add drop down menu's to your navigation menu.

You can add sub-sub links(that's as deep as it goes).
If you have a button with the same name then instead of adding a new button, it will add to the existing(this way if you were to user it for 'Profile' or 'Messages' you could still get the notifications bubble).
You can add a person's user id to the URL(good for profile stuff) with $[user.id]

The format without any sub-sub-links is:

NAME|URL|TARGET



NAME is the text you will see in the sub menu. URL is the url to page you want to direct to. TARGET is how you want the link to open. The choices are _self which will open the link in the same tab or _blank which will open the link in a new tab. Shouldn't be anything complicated about that.



The format with any sub-sub-links is:

NAME|URL|TARGET|{SUB-SUB LINK NAME,SUB-SUB LINK URL,SUB-SUB LINK TARGET}



NAME is the text you will see in the sub menu. URL is the url to page you want to direct to. TARGET is how you want the link to open. The choices are _self which will open the link in the same tab or _blank which will open the link in a new tab. Shouldn't be anything complicated about that. The only complicated part should be the sub-sub links(which shouldn't be hard at all). SUB-SUB LINK NAME is the text of the link you will see in the sub-sub menu. SUB-SUB LINK URL is the url to page you want to direct to. SUB-SUB LINK TARGET is how you want the link to open. The choices are _self which will open the link in the same tab or _blank which will open the link in a new tab.

Hey Shorty,



I'm not sure if I'm coding this wrong or not, but I coded this, and it's not working. I want to make it so my Radio button doesn't go anywhere, but the buttons in the drop-down do.



The coding is here:



Thanks in advance for your help!!

Hey Shorty, just added this plugin and I love it! I also have the Classic ProBoards Menu plugin installed, so I had to use the fix I found below that you gave to someone else in this thread to make your plugin work with it.

c?????????ƒ???? Alright, the issue is with a conflict with the Classic ProBoards Menu plugin. A simple fix will be to put font-size: 13px; into the "Additional Menu CSS" field on the styling tab of the drop down nav plugin. You can change the red to whatever suits your needs

The things is, I have to select a theme to apply it to for it to work. I do new themes for events all the time with my forum, and I'm sure I'm going to sometimes forget to add the new themes to this plugin every time after I make one. Is there any way you could make the plugin so that if we don't select any theme it would automatically apply to all of them?

Okay, unless I'm doing something wrong, I found a MAJOR bug!

I'm using the following for my profile button dropdown:
Notifications|user/$[user.id]/notifications|_self
Following|user/$[user.id]/following|_self
Friends|user/$[user.id]/friends|_self
Groups|user/$[user.id]/groups|_self

Say I click on the link for 'notifications', it takes me to:

forumurl/user/1/notifications

everything is fine, but then...

The link in the dropdown for notifications is transformed to:

forumurl/user/1/user/1/notifications

which is unusable, as are all the other links in the profile dropdown, which are all similarly nerfed up. Am I doing something wrong? Is this fixable?

I'm having the same issue. How do we get around that. And how can we access the summary page this way?

This works for me:

Notifications|http://weightlosssurgery.proboards.com/user/1/notifications/$[userid]|_self

But, what I am doing wrong that it does not work for my members?

Thank you for your help!

The bolded part is actually linking your users to the ID of 1, which would be the main admin account. So when they click on it it takes them to the notifications of the admin account, which they can't view.

Try this:
Notifications|http://weightlosssurgery.proboards.com/user/$[userid]/notifications/|_self

Thanks Display, I just tried that. The drop down is there, but clicking on it gives me "user not found".

Oops I made a mistake. There needs to be a period between user and id. It should look like this: $[user.id].

I suspected that it was where I placed the $[user.id] that was causing the problem.

I just installed: Notifications|http://weightlosssurgery.proboards.com/user/$[user.id]/notifications/|_self and am waiting for someone to check it out for me. It works for me fine.

Glad to hear, hopefully it works for everyone else as well

It DOES! I gave you credit for it in the thread I started about it on PB Support. Thank you!

Is there a way to have a notification pop up on the drop down boxes. For example if someone posts something in my 'FTAC' dropdown then could I have like (1) pop up next to it like the same as if I get a message?

Thanks
S

edit: any word on this at all?
