UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development Addons and Modifications [7.2.1] - Hop to as a popup menu

Had a couple requests for this and threw it together. This essentially removes the 'Hop to:' pulldown and 'Go' button functionality from the bottom of showflat and postlist and makes it a popup menu.

After pic (on a different board of course - i can't modify ubbcentral!!



Instructions:

Just read the Readme.txt (attached) and do it.

You can fiddle with '$jumpbox = $html -> hop_to(40);' and change the number 40 to your liking. The number 40 signifies the number of characters to display for forum/sub-forum(s), before using the '...' continuation. you'd do this in 2 places. showflat.inc.php and postlist.inc.php. no need to fiddle with the ubbthreads.inc.php class, as that is just the default over there.

This allows for loooong stuff to be trimmed and then the menu doesn't go bonkers width wise..

Good luck.

Notes:

1. you can easily move this menu to the right (over by the pager), but simply editing the tpls. Keep in mind, if there is no right side portal, you might have the popup to wide to fit on screen.
2. you can also duplicate the menus that are on top to down below as well.
3. you may want to edit the language for 'Hop to:' to 'Hop to' to get rid of the colon, if you are anal about it

example:



once again, it's a simple .tpl mod. I've done it, but am time pressed to post here. I'm quite sure someone could take this example and post those mods as a part of this thread though

we have enough tpl gooooos, to be able to slice and dice as needed.

Good luck
