« Thread Started on Apr 26, 2012, 4:36am » | |
There's a lot of subject matter between my Welcome Table and the start of my boards. Lots of scrolling to get back up to the Menu Bar. So, I was thinking it would be nice to move the Menu Bar just below the "Most Recent Topics". The Nav Tree is there now. Perhaps it would be okay to remove the Nav Tree altogether and put the Menu Bar there, unless they could be combined somehow. I have no idea on how to go about doing that.

Any help will be deeply appreciated! Thank you!

Thank you, Pebble. I did check out the link Radesign provided (thank you, Rad) but it is way too complicated for me. I appreciate your help so much

Hi ladyauburn33, I'm currently bed bound by flu - should be up and running soon (hopefully) and I'll get round to sorting this out.

Oooh...sorry to hear that you are ill. That's no fun. No worries, I have plenty of stuff to do on the board to keep me busy. Don't know if you had a chance to read the e-mail I sent you on the Lounge, but I found which post was stretching the board (and removed it.)
Hope you are feeling better soon!

Thanks LA33, I'm now full of drugs so feeling better!
I had a thought about your menu bar which may work better than moving it. Why not add a second menubar to the bottom of the page ?
I've written a few lines of code so that your menu bar would be duplicated, including the styling.
Have a look here and let me know what you think.

I recently removed a huge photo album of the star from below the Information Center, and also along the side in the Side Tables, to focus more on archiving posts and updating threads. When I'm done updating everything, the photo album will be reinstalled. Not sure how that would affect the Menu Bar at the bottom? Would it be below the album? Or directly beneath the Info Ctr?
Originally, the idea behind moving the Menu Bar by the Nav Tree, or combining them in a neat box, was so that the Menu Bar would be handier for me. Not sure at the bottom of my board would be all that handy.

That's not a problem the 'new' menu bar can be placed where ever you want it, so it could go above your boards and the nav tree but below the shout box and recent posts. We could then remove the menu bar from under your banner if you didn't want it.
PS: the reason I haven't used SubDevo's code is that it places the menu bar in a fixed position. As it would be under your shout box and recent posts it would be impossible ( ) to place it in the correct position for everyone and could end up displaying over other bits of your forum.

I think placing the Menu Bar under Recent Topics is best, then it would be next to the Nav Tree. Let's not remove the Menu Bar under the Banner. Having it in two places would be super convenient!
BTW, I would just like to thank you again for helping me with this! You're another IOD Hero!

I like it. The bg color won't be designated in the code, correct? (Because of multiple skins)
Could I sneak another little request in here at this stage? I know there's a code out there somewhere that removes the "dashes" between the words...is it possible to include that while you're working on this?

The second menu bar is styled the same as the top one so that shouldn't be a problem.
Your other little request is an easy one - You already have a code in your global header to do that!
This code:
<!----------------------------Removes Brackets From Menu Bar--------------------------------->
just change the dividing character to what you want it to be.

So, if I want just spaces between the words, what do I put there?

A space between the quotes.
