Crap... Seems I forgot something in that theme... Wait and I'll tell you went to download the theme again...

Okay, go download it again... If you have made too many edits and don't want to have to do them all over again, let me know and I'll tell you want to change.

Re: Drop-down menus don't work...

hmmm... I guess it'll be easier for me to edit the file myself... Rather than doing all the mods over again... (even though i only installed one mod which gave me quite a big problem -the ad mod... Heh...)

Re: Drop-down menus don't work...

Okay, in the index.template.php:

Find the part for the quicklinks. There's a comment above the if statement and an opening and closing bracket:

// Show the quicklinks?
if($context['user']['is_logged']
{
all kinds of crap
}

// End the tab section
etc...

Replace all that above the // End the tab section with this:

Code:

// How about the [quick links] button?
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo '
<td align="center" valign="middle"><a class="mainnav-link" href="', $scripturl, '#quicklinks" id="idquicklinks" rel="quicklinks">', $txt['quick_links'], ' <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/search_down.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="^" /></a>

<div id="quicklinks" style="width: 150px;visibility:hidden;" class="drop-down">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td class="catbg" height="20" align="left" valign="middle">' . $txt['quick_links'] . '</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><a class="subNav-link" href="', $scripturl, '?action=recent">', $txt[214], '</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><a class="subNav-link" href="', $scripturl, '?action=markasread;sa=all;sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">', $txt['board_markread'], '</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><a class="subNav-link" href="', $scripturl, '?action=who">', $txt['whos_online'], '</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="catbg" height="20" align="left" valign="middle">', $txt['user_settings'], '</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><a class="subNav-link" href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile">', $txt['view_profile'], '</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><a class="subNav-link" href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;u=', $context['user']['id'], ';sa=account">', $txt['account_settings'], '</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><a class="subNav-link" href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;u=', $context['user']['id'], ';sa=forumProfile">', $txt['edit_profile'], '</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><a class="subNav-link" href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;u=', $context['user']['id'], ';sa=theme">', $txt['preferences'], '</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="catbg" height="20" align="left" valign="middle">', $txt['miscellaneous'], '</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><a class="subNav-link" href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['qlunread_posts'], '</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" align="left" valign="middle"><a class="subNav-link" href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['qlunread_replies'], '</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
dropdowncontent.init("idquicklinks", "left-bottom", 200, "click")
</script>
</td>';
}

Now, back in the top of the file, before the <body> tag, you should see a javascript. This is what you want it to be:

//This is for the pop menus

echo '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['theme_url'], '/dropdown.js"></script>';

echo '
</head>
<body>';

I think that should do it.

Re: Drop-down menus don't work...

See this at the end of the quicklinks?

dropdowncontent.init("idquicklinks", "left-bottom", 200, "click")

</script>

</td>';

}

You see that last } bracket? You are missing that.

Re: Drop-down menus don't work...

Sorry, replace your dropdown.js with this one: http://www.webtechnica.net/demoforum/Themes/Underground/dropdown.js

Re: Drop-down menus don't work...

Hmm, must be the javascript for that news fader doing that. Try this (not sure if it'll work or not, lol), open the style.css and find the .drop-down selector. Add this to it: z-index: 99; See if that helps it.

Re: Drop-down menus don't work...

guess what, it WORKS!!

Thanks lots!

btw how come some times the quick edit does not work all the times (loading bar below but does not allow to edit)? is it SMF or is it the theme?
