Drop Down Menu

[Former Member]

I've downloaded this plugin ; www.proboards.com/library/plugins/item/468 ; and it's working very well. However, I'm trying to create a drop-down for the Profile button, and am wondering how I do this. If, say, I wanted to add a drop-down button under Profile called "Activity", how do I get it to link to the Activity page of the member who is clicking it, rather than my Activity page? My Activity page ends in /user/2/activity, and I put this in the plugin and it links to my own Activity page no matter which one of us tries it, because the 2 is the ID of my profile. If I remove the 2 and put /user/activity, it says there is an error.

So how do I get it to link to the user's Activity page who clicks it, rather than one of a specific member whose number I use in the URL in the plugin? (Mine)?

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]

/user/$[user.id]/activity

Im useing the spectrun theme, will this affect the Drop Down affect?
I recently installed the Drop Down Nav Plugin, looked at some tutorials on this forum, & they dont answer anything, Shorty explains it terribly, what language is he speaking -.-

Shorty would be the best person to explain this but you'll need to define at least one theme color on the styling tab in the plugin's configuration in order to produce a drop down menu. I myself was stuck when I installed it to evaluate and could not get the dropdown menu even though I defined one on the settings tab. I naturally assumed it would use the default theme colors/classes unless I defined my own on that tab but it is in fact *required* that you define a set of colors for the theme and the dropdown is created when a value for Extra Menu Hover is present for that theme. I really had nothing I wanted to put there so I used opacity:1 and the menu finally appeared. I actually would not have known that unless I examined the coding and saw that it was looking for that value before attempting to create the menu.

TIP: If you post a forum URL then someone could look to see how you have the plugin configured otherwise it is just generalized info you'll be receiving which may simply be a waste of time if it doesn't pertain to your particular case. A forum URL gets you an answer tailored to your case and helps to weed out irrelevant diagnosis saving time for whoever is helping you as well as getting you a faster solution.

Hope that helps
