Thanks worked brilliantly straight out of the box - have bookmarked it to add additional functionality to our site in the coming days this is absolutely brilliant.

Great tutorial works fine even in 4.04

Is there any way to make the default "Forum" navtab a dropdown, instead of adding a new tab?

I run a gaming board that hosts multiple games, guilds/clans, etc. I wish to make the Forum navtab a dropdown that i can then have the links to the various areas on the board. I followed this tutorial to create a plugin/template to help show what i am looking to do.

I figure i could remove the default "Forum" tab and replace it with the new one, but i was wondering if it can just be done on the current, default tab.

Thank you! After a little trial and error, I got this to work wonderfully on our site. I appreciate the help!

Lynn or anyone,

Any ideas how to make this menu stay on top of a .swf file? I have a .swf advert in ad_below_navbar and the dropdown menu slides behind the advert.

Ideas welcomed.

THIS is Eric's Original Objective & Problem:

This response does NOT make sense to me, because it does NOT maintain Eric's Objective:

Try this. This has arrow.

YES, the arrow works, but the tab is NOT highlight when hovered or clicked like the rest of the tabs (which was the whole point).

Finally, this approach PARTIALLY works:

The problem is that this arrow does NOT change color along with the text color. In other words, it remains white even when the tab color is white (or near white), and is then invisible.

Am I doing something wrong or does ANYONE have a solution to this?

Love to hear an answer to this issue too!

Anyone?

Finally, an answer to this would be VERY helpful. I'd like to be able to use a different customized subnav for each of my primary pages (forums, blogs, groups...).

This mod would be tremendously useful if we could get these minor issues addressed.

Thanks for the mod and for any help!

I've started a new thread HERE for anyone who wants to follow or participate in the development of the modifications above.

For my drop down box how do I get the hover color to be the same as the normal tabs?

See here...

Anyone figure out how to get the hover color to change at the same time keeping the arrow and getting the arrow to change color as well?

See what the problem is here...

As a result of changing colors in style variables, my drop down boxes span the whole screen. Something went haywire with this plugin.

Actually I don't know this is the cause. All I know is that the drop down boxes span the whole screen in IE and the username is bolden and larger when using IE, but with Firefox it is still the same. This just happened when I was playing with the style variable settings.

Can someone please help me find out what i need to do to get this to appear at the beginning of the navbar before the home/forum tabs.

You need to look at the navbar template and pick a template_hook that is at the beginning of the navtab bar - the example in the first post used the template_hook at the end of the navtab bar. You may also need to change the execution order for the plugin if you have two plugins trying to use the same template_hook.

Thanks lynne you are a true asset to this website.

[Sarcoth]

Is there a way to control the execution order from outside the plugin? I have the following setting in my product script:

<setting varname="showroster_navbar_order" displayorder="20">
<datatype>posint</datatype>
<validationcode><![CDATA[return ($data >= 1);]]></validationcode>
<defaultvalue>5</defaultvalue>
</setting>

I cannot find anything that would allow me to adjust the order like the location (navtab_start, navtab_middle, and navtab_end). Those work fine, it is the ordering I cannot get to work. Any ideas?

Edited: Sorry, this probably is not the correct place to ask. I've asked the question in a coder's forum instead. Thank you.
