It's inheriting my current page and hover button for some reason.
This is in both 1.0.4 and 1.0.5



I just want it to be a normal colour + hover and no gradient as it is doing currently.

Edit:
Just to add, the userid stuff works amazingly/perfectly, so thanks a lot for that, it's very very useful.

Sorry. I didn't think about that. I'm tired. I'll get it to you tomorrow.

Ok no worries. I appreciate what you've done so far

Sorry to update this with just having posted it a few hours ago. But the new one fixes a issue DeltaDart told me about.

DeltaDart sorry about that. I updated it. Download in original post. But the reason I never noticed that, is because I didn't have a hover on my forum.

No worries, works perfect now!  Thanks shortyverrett94

shortyverrett94 Stinky666 I missed something on this.  How do you use the [#userid]?  Give an example using 'Notifications'

If it helps, here's what I did using Profile:

Main Link: stinky666themes.freemessageboards.com/user/[#userid]

Sub Links:

shortyverrett94 First... I love it!  Great job and Thanks

Disclaimer:  I AM using my Default Theme in Styling PLUS the color settings in the selection boxes.  I found that using the theme alone didn't pickup all the colors in the submenu's.  Not sure if I'm missing something in my theme or not, but anyway it works as-is so I'm happy.

However, I notice something odd between IE and FF (go figure right?) They both WORK perfect, but the screen shots below show FF LOOKS perfect while IE is pulling some table or cell 'width' from somewhere and stretching the submenu really wide.  And the strange thing is, as you can see, the 3 different subs I have are not all the same width.  I stagger pasted all 3 in one screenshot just so you can see that.

Any idea where it's pulling the width from?  It must be unique to each menu item since all 3 menu subs are different widths.

Stinky666 I noticed in his 1.0.4 version earlier today that we don't have to use the fully qualified url now.  I think we had to before, although I don't recall actually testing that, but now we don't have to.  My code for the Profile is now short and sweet, and thanks for the code BTW, that helped greatly:

Can you please re explain that? I didn't fully understand that.

I have no idea. I spent an hour looking at it. And I can't tell what's causing it. I will look more. But ya know, that's IE just messing up as usual.

You could use relative URL's before too. That's what I was using.

Maybe I just interpreted it wrong from the beginning.  When I first saw the function to use a theme I figured I wouldn't have to use the color selection boxes i.e. select the theme and the subs would act the same as the menu.  That worked only partially.  The subs captured my themes Font settings, but not the Background settings.  So I selected the same colors from your selection boxes for the backgrounds my themes uses and the subs then looked the same.

[Shorty]

Yeah, you are supposed to put colors in for each theme.

works great Shorty this should really help me and others thank you so much!  The sub-sub links work like a charm.

Hi Shorty.

I thought you might appreciate a little feedback, after installing the latest plugin v 1.0.5.

I'm getting quite a few issues that weren't there before.

The boxes drop individually, which was the only problem I had with the initial v 1.0.2, so that's great.


Not all good though unfortunately:

1. javascript:void(0); Doesn't work, and the Nav buttons are live.

2. I now need to create a custom page, before the Nav buttons appear, which I didn't before.

3. I now need to turn the buttons on from the forum settings / navigation menu, which I didn't before.

4. The colours of all the drop boxes are the same colour as my hover, and none of the colour settings work.

5. The boxes are now separated, and not connected as before.

6. I now have multiple styling tables, instead of just the one. Fill one, another appears.

7. The buttons don't go where I ask them to. Both go to the far right side.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but hope you appreciate the feedback, and thank you once again for your efforts. I'm sure it will all work soon mate.

Appreciated.

I reinstalled slowly and no different.

Regarding positioning of the Nav buttons, I tried simply doing it via the forum settings / Navigation drag and drop facility, and they went where I wanted them, but now, only the first step down works, and the pointer doesn't get to the 2nd before the drop down clears.

Sorry mate, but hope my feedback helps.


EDIT: The above problem is an Internet Explorer issue, but seems ok with Chrome.

avinalaff I haven't experienced those issues except for one.  When I inadvertently added html formatting to the text, but wrapped the entire line in it, the sub menus would separate from each other leaving an empty space between them as you are seeing.  Once I corrected that to wrap the text only it was ok.

This works fine:
<i>Edit Avatar</i>|/user/[#userid]/avatar

But this caused the space:
<i>Edit Avatar|/user/[#userid]/avatar</i>

I notice Shorty has changed the instructions, so I started over again.

Example:

My original imput was this :

<a href="Everton'>http://loveeverton.proboards.com/page/evertonnews">Everton News</a>

I then changed it to this:


Everton News|http://loveeverton.proboards.com/page/evertonnews
Same results (

Too tired now, so need to sleep ha ha.

1. I don't any issues with the javascript:void(0); Did you by chance have a button named 'News' before you installed this plugin?

2. I don't completely understand this. You have make a brand new custom page so that any new drop links will appear? That doesn't sound right.

3. Turn what buttons on?

4.You haven't actually added in styles in.

5. That because you have 2 line breaks in between each input. It should only be one line break.

6. That's supposed to happen. It's that way so that if you have multiple themes, you can have colors for each theme. You need to select a theme, then input colors for that theme, if you only have one theme, then don't worry about any of the other boxes that appear.

7. I see them in the right place. But I see you have one set to 'forum' and the other to 'clubs'. Try 'Forum' and 'Clubs', it should match the same case as the button you want it to go after.

[Stinky666]

Shorty, will there be an update today to fix the inherit for the current/hover buttons?

Edit:
To clarify, so it doesn't inherit.
