Very nice I like it ;)

[FF|Skyrider]

Indeedish! How ever, it doesn't work for me. I don't get the overlay around the avatar, etc. The menu itself seems to work. I've done everything as instructed. And yes, files uploaded correctly. And yes, I did every single step correctly multiple times.

[sematopdemir]

Indeedish!

[Sador]

Do you still have to install the avatar in header mod first, or is this all you need to do now?

[Datenpapst]

never mind seemed to be a problem with the old avatar addon. good work :)

[ViciousCode]

it should work, maybe clear your browser cache and refresh ?

[Datenpapst]

how to change the color of the dropdown, the border and the hover color for the menu points?

[ViciousCode]

have to edit the dropdown.css which is in clientscript folder

[merhaba.nu]

Do you still have to install the avatar in header mod first, or is this all you need to do now?

+1.

[Sador]

Installed this, and it works fine. However, for some reason the font color of Friends & Contacts is white, so you can't see it. (unless you mouse over of course) Does anybody know where I can change this?

http://www.tiswah.com/forum/uploaded/1/friends_bug.jpg

[FF|Skyrider]

+1.
At the bottom:
Note: For the avatar to properly show, import this plugin

this is same plugin from previous version with a minor fix

So yea, it's required.

*shrugs*, I still am having issues.. Reverted templates back to default and tried again, I still don't have an overlay.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=110715&d=1264149566

I also have the same issue as Sadoy, Friends & contact text is white, which makes it hard to see unless you mouse over it.

[TheLastSuperman]

Aye!

Vicious you know I like you man but here's the dealio for everyone new to this or just not aware:

1. You can't just copy someones code as Daten did yours without asking first unless you marked your mod as "Re-Usable Code".
2. You can upload SevenSkins product for download in your mod thread Vicious.
3. YOU all can however ask each other for permission to do so but the product of one coder should not be placed for download in another coders modification thread all sorts of issue come to mind including but not limited to the original coder updating his mod yet this version would remain and be outdated could cause issues int he future no matter how responsible you are it's still two edits and having to keep up with it = no no.
4. Daten should have come to you and offered his code no sense having a new thread about it, your Rework is slightly different that your original mod thread and it works fine on 4.0 not 4.0.1 and this version here works fine on 4.0.1 but looks off in 4.0 I bet due to the alignment issue so it can be left as it's for use with a specific version IF you make sure the version listed is 4.0 instead of 4.0.x

Other stuff comes to mind but a few of you just needed that to be said I hope, meant as a fyi.

Mike

[ViciousCode]

okay try this instead

remove the top header info from vbulletin.css

and add it like this to headerinclude template after dropdown.js script line

Mike

the code has been changed :)

[BSMedia]

You're getting there with it.

1. You should ditch the table, and use <div style="float: right; padding: 3px;"> for the avatar placement

2. You shouldn't make a call to yet another CSS file from the headinclude, instead those definitions should be added to vbulletin.css since you're already requesting an edit there.

3. z-index: 2px; isn't valid. z-index can't have a pixel value and instead should be just 2 if thats what you want it.

4. Why not make use of the already built in vBulletin drop down menus, rather than adding another call to a javascript file. :D

Great work though!

[TheLastSuperman]

Ahh thanks yeah that's a big no-no... I know the rules for posting mods are around here somewhere let me find the link, I just don't want you all to get in trouble and even Daten seems to be confused on the proper methods plus if we don't make it known when stuff like this happens others might make a repeat in the future :( and we don't want that either ;).

Vicious think of Z-index like layers, the higher the number the better the chances of it being on the very top ;)

the vbulletin dropdown has alignment issues, but this dropdown does not.

its easier with the table. i tested the code every way, so i think i know what im doing.

ill fix the z-index part though

[CrazyProgrammer]

i cant see avatars when i use this

[ViciousCode]

i cant see avatars when i use this

upload the plugin-header-avatar.xml then you will see the avatar

[Sador]

You need the new plugin to let it work, if you still have the old one it won't work.

Edit; and Friends & Contacts is still white.

that is really strange, i checked the code, installed it on different themes, that link works

try changing the link title to only Friends, maybe the & character is messing with it

[Sador]

However, after clicking on the Friends & Contacts button in the list it took me to that page, and when I checked it there, it suddenly showed in black like it should. Went to some other pages, but now it shows like it should.

Don't know why it wouldn't at first, but it seems to work now, thanks.

[Alex@Mk3OC]

Excellent mod, had to create 3 seperate dropdown.css files so the dropdowns match my different styles

I tried it because i had the same problem but with all my links (all where invisible) and after that only private meassages are shown without mouse over!!!

Ok i fix it i don't know why , i had it twice and i had to put it twice!!!

But in your previous version as admin could see my admincp , can we add it now , it was very good to be possible for me and mods to connect through your mod!!!!

[SSJB_7]

Omg i opened I.E 6 AND I.E 7 to check it and was looking like this

http://i47.tinypic.com/nmj2tk.jpg

PLS help me...

[ViciousCode]

why are you even using ie6 and ie7 in the first place?

[Datenpapst]

good question :D

Yep get this in IE7 here as well, works fine in IE8 and FF though, but a lot of our users use IE7 still

[Alex@Mk3OC]

Also just fyi I added the code that was supposed to go in vbulletin.css into my additional.css (lynne's mod) and it works fine. Only did it as it meant it was one less template I'd need to worry about when i update vBulletin

[SSJB_7]

Same answer here, i think that we make it not only for us but for our users only and should be good functioning for everyone, it's not everyone advanced internet user....
So can we fix it?

Also what i have to add in order to have (only for admins and moderators) the admincp and modcp?

I agree this needs to work in IE7 at the very least as it is still a widely used browser, hopefully the author can fix this for us, otherwise I'll have to uninstall it :(

Having the modcp/admincp link display is a good idea

[nitra1000]

why are you even using ie6 and ie7 in the first place?

What a stupid question, with around 50% of users still on IE and a decent % of them on IE7 or less we need to support it.

It's not the administrators this mod is for, it's for everyone who takes the time to register with us.

I can't beleive you didn't bother to test your code in IE6/7... makes me wonder what other browsers you didn't test.

Safari?
Chrome?
Opera?

Also I beleive the white links are coming from the styleVars (mine were).

[Sador]

vBulletin isn't even fully supporting IE6 anymore if I remember correctly, so I don't see why Vicious should. IE7 is still used often enough though, so support for that would be nice.

[SSJB_7]

also any news about adding only for administrators,moderators the links?

[MrKing]

Installed this, and it works fine. However, for some reason the font color of Friends & Contacts is white, so you can't see it. (unless you mouse over of course) Does anybody know where I can change this?

http://www.tiswah.com/forum/uploaded/1/friends_bug.jpg

i am also having this problem but with the edit profile menu on rollover its fine?

[ViciousCode]

maybe its just an error in vb4.0.1, ill make the drop down default when 4.0.2 comes out.

well the thing is, i dont have ie7, so i cant really test it, im on windows 7 which does not have ie7

[s810car]

I added this to the end of vbulletin.css along with the product code to fix the links


Code:

Had to add the hover color because the link attribute made the font black even with hover over. Hope this helps!

not working with me my forum arabic

is there any way to fix it

[Sador]

Did you guys make any template edits to the Header template before this? That might be why it won't work.

[MmS1]

i haven't done any Edit to header

[Alex@Mk3OC]

Any news on IE7 compatibility? Gonna have to uninstall this otherwise :(

[imperial.]

The same problem, how i can solve it please.

[s810car]

Is it only happening in user CP? Like email page or profile pages? That was my issue, and its due to missing this:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


In the affected templates (obviously vbulletin will have to fix their templates in an update).

Add that line above into any main page templates missing it, it should be above the closing head tag like so


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



It was missing in my USERCP_SHELL template, which affected all pages with the side navigation like the error you are getting in that screenshot.

EDIT: Sorry, in mine I added the product code to headinclude_bottom instead of headinclude, just check for {vb:raw headinclude} instead in those areas, if that doesn't work you have a conflict in your CSS somewhere (such as duplicate class/id names), or disabled javascript possibly

[Lianelli]

Got the same problem as previous users... dropdown box not showing as it's supposed to:

http://www.hwmania.org/forum/

same problem :(

[xbrian88]

http://www.hwmania.org/forum/

same problem :(

???????

[s810car]

Ok try this:

1. On step 1, add the code to headinclude_bottom, not headinclude. Add at THE VERY end of it.
2. Ensure on each page you are having an issue with your display, that the closing tag for the head html has this line IMMEDIATELY before it, no other css style or javascript, like so


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


3. Ensure your javascript is enabled and you followed the other directions correctly. Also, this code uses opacity, which isn't fully supported in that syntax in IE. Beyond this, I don't see what else could be blocking your ability to use the code without being able to view the site live.

As a side comment, I see in the rollover.css file that the dd tag has an opacity setting, but no filter:alpha setting, this may be the IE compatibility issue mentioned earlier in the thread, but I'd have to test it to be certain

[Alex@Mk3OC]

If it is could you post the fix for the IE compatibility issue as was about to remove it from our test forum so we could try an alternative but I do prefer this one

[Demo16]

I have followed instructions and installed everything, however mine is showing up like this... (see attachment).

What am I doing wrong?

same problem here

[rlvassallo]

I have tried and tried to get the drop box to work, followed the steps, and instructions as listed. To no avail, I am still left with just the text showing up by default with no drown down box displayed. When mousing over the links they fade to about 10% opacity. I have attached an image depicting what i'm referring to.

[mabersoft]

Will this be made into a product so you dont have to do the edits?

[ViciousCode]

mod updated to 1.5 :)

[balkanboy]

hrmm i like this idea mate im hopeing it will become a product i dnt feel comfortable with template edits :( but looks awesome from what iv seen keep up the work :D

[Razfaz]

No its work for me! Perfekt !!!

[rlvassallo]

You need to rewrite your code so it doesn't call "dropdown.js" or "dropdown.css" from the images folder.

Calling the drop down box:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



needs to be changed to this:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Properly change the Admin & Mod links to work correctly:
Ensure that they are calling to the proper directory. Admin: "admincp/index.php" and Moderators: "modcp/index.php"

[MmS1]

not work and it's more uglier then the last update

[Sador]

@Vicious, it's getting kinda hard to follow what is what version and what it does and what is changed and so on.

Could you maybe add a changelog.txt or something to the attachments and update it to show what every new version does and so on? Makes it a bit easier to follow this.

[MrKing]

thanks for the update :) - just one thing, what is the update?/what are the differences :)

just this part



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

and the xml file ?

[Tri@de]

the difference is in the code you see below.
it's modified since last version

[s810car]

if the coder is interested, I have converted this code to remove all table tags, only uses a couple extra divs and a ul/li tag setup for the right side information. PM me if so cause I did a lotta alterations with some colors as well as having to find it all since i didn't follow all the directions on placement

sure if you want to, but whats wrong with tables?

[rlvassallo]

vicious, do you ever respond to those looking for support or fixes from the developer?

[Alexandre.R]

I had no problems setting up with V1 (until vB upgraded to 4.0.1 and now to 4.0.2) but here I have no idea what to do.... upload files from archive to correct folder??

The 2 files in dropdown.zip, where do I extract them?
And what files do I move to images folder?

Sorry man.... but I think the setup instructions need a bit of re-working :(
Hope this can be done soon.. I totally love this mod, I would donate too. But not if I cannot install this mod properly :) hope you understand

[FlameGun]

Is there anyway I can change the backgrounds behind the Username, Get-Help, and Logout

[Datenpapst]

does it work with 4.0.2?

[Alexandre.R]

Avatar is missing :( am using vB 4.0.2 and follow the setup instructions correctly.

Edit: Got it to work, forgot to upload the plugin.

[Alex@Mk3OC]

does it work with 4.0.2?

Working fine on my test forum with 4.0.2

[min0taur]

Yeah its working fine in 4.0.2 anyway can i have arrowdown.png icon?

[Shabow]

How do I add in the arrows like the dev. has in his example? I see they're coded for them, but he did not include them

[whitedd]

Yeah its working fine in 4.0.2 anyway can i have arrowdown.png icon?

How do I change the background color of the box to Black, or dark gray? I played around with dropdown.css and got like zero change.

it doesnt work in arabic forum with ads in header

any fixation ?

thanks

[Morsolo]

Yeah, I edited mine up a fair bit to get to look right as well. Still a brilliant piece of work though.

Could I request a script or something that flashes the username bar red (or turns it to a different colour) when the user has a notification? I think the "- (1)" isn't really enough to attract attention.
Nevermind, figured it out, simple enough :)

[gruftiradio]

I still have the problem, that the header with this, is not centered. I can't find a solution... what could it be?

Hi,

Is the install the same if you have facebook connect enabled?


+

I have a white vertical line next to the dropdown. Check the attached image.

How can i remove it?

[Alex@Mk3OC]

The code needs to be added into the mod header tempate code for the facebook connect button, I have done it on my test site, but it's not enabled yet so haven't been able to test it

[Alex@Mk3OC]

To add the FB Connect button in from VB 4.0.3 use this in your vbulletin.css instead of what's in the first post:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Then in your header template use this code instead of the on in the first post:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Also find the facebook_header template and remove:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

and

[Golzarion]

Yes. It is not compatible with Right-to-Left forums ...

[Golzarion]

Yes. It is not compatible with Right-to-Left forums ...
ok. to fix it for Right-to Left languages forums , just the step 2 will be a little different :
Step 2.

Edit vbulletin.css (inside CSS templates)

add this code at the very bottom



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

@ViciousCode (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/member.php?u=279337) : You created the nice mod specially for vB4 . please add this codes at the first post for Right-to-Left forums.
thx.

[ViciousCode]

i dont have right to left experience, sorry

[JohnMcClane]

Probably already been asked but isn't it possible to have this modification without template edits?

[sKippah]

Would be nice if u could use the vb:phrase instead of "My Profile - Edit Profile and so on"
Thanks

[fluidswork]

Nice addon !!!!!!!!!!!

[Jacob_ITAPros]

Everything is fine for me, however the two administrative lines:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



...Are not working for me. The {vb:raw admincpdir} variable (and the mod one) is not picking up for some reason and as a result, these lines links directly to site.com/index.php. The path is fine and these links are identical to what is being used in the footer to do the same thing, the only difference is that they work in the footer.

Can anyone duplicate this issue?

[BellyBelly]

Can anyone show me an example in a bigger screenshot, so I can see where/how it sits in the forum?

[GamerPerfection]

Awesome, looks good on my test site. Thanks and installed.

[GamerPerfection]

Ok, so got it on my test site, and IE messes it up a bit....

FireFox

As you can see it all looks good with FireFox.

IE 8 - Without Compatability
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk21/clarkey28/IE8-noComp.jpg
As you can see in IE 8 without Compatability View the word "last" is on the end of the whole thing at the top? Also there is apparently a non-existent image trying to appear?

IE 8 - With Compatability
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk21/clarkey28/IE8-Comp.jpg
As you can see it gets worse. This is using IE 8 with Compatability View on. What a mess.

Anything i can do to clean up the IE one without affecting it in FF?

[Jacob_ITAPros]

Clarkey25, I had the same issue.

In the .top-header-info css structure, I changed the padding-right to 6px. See if that helps.

[GamerPerfection]

Thanks, Ok well the padding-right was already set to 6px. However, I changed the width:320px to 300px and that moved the "last" on to the correct line. So that's that bit solved.

Now to figure out this white square with the red cross in IE.

EDIT: Of course... i've just figured it out.... there's supposed to be an image there "arrowdown.png" but the link to it isn't right. That's why IE shows the red cross and FF shows nothing.... silly me.

EDIT 2: Fixed. :) Now there's only the IE 8 Compatability View problem, but I can live with that for now. :)

Dangit that was the property. Sorry I gave you the wrong one. As for the the missing pic, check your code in the header for the correct path to the image that you're using.

[GamerPerfection]

Yep sorted the missing image issue. :)

[DX-FMJ]

First off, awesome mod, had to make a few of my own tweaks but I have ran into a few things I can't figure out.

117557

In the picture above, can someone please tell me how do i change this font from grey to white?

Could I request a script or something that flashes the username bar red (or turns it to a different colour) when the user has a notification? I think the "- (1)" isn't really enough to attract attention.
Nevermind, figured it out, simple enough :)

Mind sharing what you did, and how you did it?

[kontagio.us]

thank you, works perfectly :)

Thanks for the effort, unfortunately it didn't work, if u look really hard in the screen the "-" is white, your suggestion only changes the dash color :(

I am using digitalvb morbid blue theme btw.

Have you got a link to your site and I'll have a look?

[123_y_321]

the fade out is not working on IE. It just fades out about 200px then the rest just .... gone.
And can someone show me how to remove 1px border around the avatar. thanks

Can you guys please help.

[JasonReynolds]

How would i make this darker?

[JasonReynolds]

Hey i need all mine transparent exept the arrow?

[JasonReynolds]

Problems fixed. To get the arrow i took mine from the top of this page. right click save image as. then renamed to arrowdown.PNG in paint and changed the color to what was needed in paint. also to get the color transparent most of you probably know but for those of you who dont.

[CoZmicShReddeR]

Awesome hack!

I was wondering if anyone using the Facebook connect with VB if they thought this should have a link maybe under logout to sign in or out using Facebook connect? I am not offering to add it maybe asking if someone could please add it to this or add it as an option for those of us using the Facebook connect...

[Alex@Mk3OC]

I've got the code added in mine for the facebook connect button, will post it later for those that want it

[Bobbo]

I noticed on this mod with IE8 (non-compatability mode) when I mouse over the drop down, the item selected color on the menu items doesn't completely follow the mouse up and down the selection choices. Does anyone else have this issue with IE8?
It seems to work as the menu is fading in. However after the menu is fully drawn out and you move the mouse over the selections, the selected color stops working.


Works fine in Firefox. Also works in IE 8 with compatability mode enabled, however in that mode, the login box appears to be bound to the right side of the browser windows. :-(

[kontagio.us]

[Twikitero]

Thank you for modified work for me perfect, I liked it, great job

Yeah, I think 4.1.1 bawked this mod. Glad you are doing a new version - great work VC!

I am skinning the development version of my site.... if you need it tested on a stock board, let me know.

[ViciousCode]

will do final testing today! and will post a new version later today.

there will be a quite a few edits, but will be using the default vb pop up menu instead

Update: there will be 2 versions, 1 with facebook connect enabled, and 1 with facebook connect disabled!

[nacaruncr]

[ViciousCode]

NEW Version works with version 4.0.8 and above!

Check Out The New Version (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=257261)

[CoreyLTH]

Btw, when adding the Admin/ModCP links it just redirects those links to the homepage.

I fixed it though and whoever else is having the same problem you can use this code. Your forum must be installed within the public_html folder. Meaning www.xxxxx.com/forum.php
