Forum Home Enhancements - [vB 3.5.4] Custom Jump Menu v2

Ok, now I have came back again today and reveiwed my hack and on this version..

Now, as requested in the previous version and posts, here is the [vB 3.5.4] Custom Jump Menu which I will help you inject this tiny system into your navbar which helps it make it look cooler. Its fairly simple and fairly easy. This hack is and will also be supported anytime, thanks for using my hack and I will release other hacks and enhancements for you all to enjoy!

Extra Notes: When the member has logged on they will be able to see the dropdown. Without registering, they cannot view it. If you want to know how to make it to where everyone can view the dropdown, please let know, not unless your smart and know how the <if conditions work:

Step 1
Find in your headerinclude of the current template your using:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

And Add Above it:Note: Without this code below, you will not get this hack to work. You must remember to add this as stated!

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Step 2

- Goto your navbar and search for:
- You may not find the exact line, but its there....

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

- Add the codes below
HTML Code:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Make sure you change the YOURLINK to whatever your source your wanting to use.
Hit Save and your all done. Now go and see your work. Enjoy! ;)
Below is an added animated screenshot to show you how this version works.

Works fine, mikem. But u know, my navbar is full of link, and this additional Jump Menu takes much space and makes my navbar more complicated.
Take a look at the table above the navbar, in the fisrt column, do u find wasting space?

I myself tried for 1 hour to put the Jump Menu there, but failed! I added a column between 2 column of the table, and put the Jump Menu there. But the "Go" button is always stay below the option, that expands the height of the table. I can't make column of Jum Menu wider to fit the option and "Go" button.

I really don't know the solution. Here is the BASIC code of the table (pay attention to the value of width)
=======================
<table width="100%"><tr>

<td width="100%">list of forum</td>
<td width="200">$jump_menu</td>
<td>login</td>

</tr></table>
========================

I see. In this version v2 as you can tell is which why I added it in the navbar. This way, you wont have that problem such as that. Again, I thought of that also because it too did the same with a long Text name which is a link. So this is how I came up with the best solution which is to add it within the navbar. Check out this version on this thread and be sure to download the correct file instructions. [vB 3.5.4] Custom Jump Menu v2 is the current updated version as of today you would want. I hope this will help and solve your problem and sorry for the mess if any.

Ok, it is also a good solution. I'll install this new hack and try to optimize my navbar. Good job, mikem.

Before, I haved searched in templates for code of the Jump Menu to put on my navbar, but failed. Maybe because I am not a coder.. I wonder whether it is impossible to do that or it would take u, a coder, much time to do that? If we can use the Jump Menu which is available, it is obviously better.
ex: we dont have edit forum names, and private forums are not showed to users...

p/s: I'm not a native-english speaker, so sometimes I can't expose my idea exactly, sorry. In summary, I approciate your work anyway, it is in fact useful for me.

@takiye, you are again so right. However, I will prolly be releasing another version which is the same as this although will be pulling the info from the database. However again, this is in another release in time. I have now, other ideas that must be taken care of and released before either 1, I get lazy again or 2, I have no time to do so since I also work. But thanks for installing this hack bro and good luck.:classic:

Source Codes Updated!

[daPLAYBOY]

mikem, this is a greaf hack, and the dropdown menu in the navbar is perfectly snug!

But! I input your codes...got it on my navbar, but when I press the GO button, nothing happens! Why?

Please help me out..if you want access, that's fine, too!

Much appreciated!

Ive changed this just about 5 times to make the instructions really simple. Sorry for the confusions, ive never submitted hacks and mods before for vbulletin, ive always kept my things to myself. But now, its another day and time for things to change. So I hope this will help you folks out. Again, I appologize and want to let you know, read this carfully because it really is simple, i just had my instructions wrong, not all is fixed and has been tested from scratch
