Hi,

would it be possible to add a drop down menu in the qbar to replace the Forums link. I want a drop down menu showing all the forums. I just want the forums link to be part of the menu bar. I tried editing def_qbars.php and i tried to include a drop down menu file to no luck. Any ideas?

I think the easiest way would be to make a block with the dropdown menu in it..

This would be really a nice stuff to have on the forum... I do not know have to make that work, unfortunately...

Hi,

i have now incorporated a full drop down menu. What do you think?

Looks great maddocks. But, when viewing with firefox the top menu is off the page to the right.

Nice job, how about sharing???

hi, could someone please post a screenshot of this, thanks

You can make a screenshot yourself, place it on your own site, and then use [ img ] and [ /img ] to point at that image

Look at the explanation of the BBCODE

I think he means for someone who is having the problem with the top menu going off the screen to post a pic, as he is probably not having that error.

Look here, maddocks - [url=http]Screenshot[/url].

Sorry it's so flippin' big. I'm at work and have limited tools. I'm running at 1280x1024.

Hi,

is that better in firefox? it worked flawlessly for me with a resolution of 1280x800. Basically i had a div tag with a float of none and a span with a float:none. So i deleted the div and i deleted the float in the span, and hey presto, fully working in ie and mozilla! Thanks for telling me!

BTW, here is my code, the menu is from http://www.brainjar.com and the logo is flash.

Workin' good in firefox now. <img>

Good, is there any other recommendations that you could suggest to help improve the popularity of my site and registrations amount. Thanks

Maddocks

Have just started with IM.
Can anyone explain how i could make this wounderfull menu?
And reposition buttons to a new header?

Nice Work Maddocks

Make it?

if you go into tempates>fisubice>overall_header.tpl and replace it with the above code, it will work. Just have a mess around with it. Look at the titles of the menus and do a search replace the names, and the sub menus are self explanatory. Just watch because i changed the layout of my header so some things may not display correctly (Logo). To change the locations of blocks go into ACP > IMPortal > blocks management > The page you want changing< and then have a look in there. To move them up and down press either move up or move down. To activate or deactivate blocks click edit against the block and select yes or no. The location is also under edit.

Header = left menu
center = center
footer = right menu

the right menu may not display because of your forum layout. To change this go to page configuration under IMPortal and select enable system wide portal footer and header. Hope this helps. Please visit my site.

This looks like the solution to a big problem for me. I use ADR on my boards and im looking for a way of removing the qbar from the left hand side Do you think i could place the qbar menu items into the top bar as a drop down?

Thank you Maddocks, i did get it to work now.

Greate work

Thanks mate,

http://www.pchwforum.com

I would love to use this mod but what i need is a drop down system that replace the Q-bar so i can loose the nav pannel at the site. Anyone have any ideas?

You want a bar like this one, but vertical to replace the board_navigation? If so you will have to look in google because this doesn't work vertically.

Nope, I want one that runs horisontaly like yours but rather than being physical links with images i need the Q-bar to operate, That way I can loose the navigation bar and then the entire left hand colum. I find with certain mods i justdont have the screen width. This means alot of side scrolling. Also i think it makes the board a little cluttered when looking at threads.

So, you want it to look the same without the buttons and so it works dynamically through the qbar settings? that would be kind of difficult. You would have to start including php tags and go know wht else. I think that is a bit unrealistsic, i think the bar know is the way to go. You can replace the images for links.

Maddocks

I know what you mean, i came to the same conclusion, i cant use it as i also need only certain links available to certain users. Ive got a couple of ideas on how it could be done but they dont have the required neetness.
