Quick access dropdown menu for the user name

[1master1]

I'm here to request a new feature for mybb. This feature is default in most of the other forum softwares like ipb, vb....

The picture shows what i'm expecting

   

A quick menu for the username in thread view, postbit

[RateU]

Maybe something like this:

HTML Code

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

<strong><span class="largetext"><a href="{$post['profilelink_plain']}" id="profile_{$post['pid']}">{$post['username_formatted']}</a></span></strong> {$post['onlinestatus']}<br /> <div id="profile_{$post['pid']}_popup" class="popup_menu" style="display: none;"> <div class="popup_item_container"> Links 1 </div> <div class="popup_item_container"> Links 2 </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> // <!-- if(use_xmlhttprequest == "1") { new PopupMenu("profile_{$post['pid']}"); } // --> </script>

I probably should modify announcements a bit, but from an announcement in another forum:

Quote:Please explain the issue clearly with all relevant details.  "It doesn't work" is about as useful as saying "I'm an idiot".

Its not the issue that need to be explained clearly. I'm requesting a new feature for mybb which is already available in other forum softwares. As i mentioned, you can get clear view of what i want by seeing the attachment with text written on it. I think everyone knows where the author's name is in a thread view which is postbit.

RateU got a quick understanding and he gave a relevant code. I had installed it and tried but didnt show anything.

May be it needs some more modifications to show in ajax mode.

You said that it "didn't work".  I just asked you to explain what "didn't work" means.  What did you try to do exactly?  What was the result?  Why do you think it doesn't work for you?

Here is an alternative code - I use this in my forum. Its not as elegant as RateU's solution but it does work. You put it at the top of your header_welcomeblock_member template

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44

<tr> <td><div class="mem_block"> <strong><a href="#" id="userlinks_{$memprofile['uid']}"><img src="{$mybb->user['avatar']}" class="miniav" "width="50" height="50" alt=" "/></a></span></strong> <div id="userlinks_{$memprofile['uid']}_popup" class="popup_menu" style="display: none;" <span class="smalltext"></span> <div class="popup_item_container"> <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=profile" class="popup_item"> <span class="smalltext">My Profile</span></a> </div> <div class="popup_item_container"> <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php?action=getnew" class="popup_item"> <span class="smalltext">New Posts</span></a> </div> <div class="popup_item_container"> <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php?action=getdaily" class="popup_item"> <span class="smalltext">Today's Posts</span></a> </div> <div class="popup_item_container"> <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/private.php" class="popup_item"> <span class="smalltext">Messages</span></a> </div> <div class="popup_item_container"> <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php" class="popup_item"> <span class="smalltext">Calendar</span></a> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- new PopupMenu("userlinks_{$memprofile['uid']}"); // --> </script> </div><td>

If you mean by "didn't show anything" is, there is no dropdown menu displayed when you click the username, I'm not quite sure why it doesn't work for you.

You should get the similar layout like this - click the username:
http://mynie.6te.net/demo/showthread.php?tid=119

Some simple modification for it - click the username (User 1) in the reply post:
http://mynie.6te.net/demo/showthread.php?tid=95

And simple modification in header (if you want it in header too?):
   
I can't provide a live demo for this because it is in welcome block member. The "box" will be displayed when we click the "Member Tools" link.

RateU, i had added the <script type > code to top of the post bit and replaced this code

<strong><span class="largetext">{$post['profilelink']}</span></strong> {$post['onlinestatus']}<br />

with yours.

I'm using classic post bit style and i made it in postbit_classic

[RateU]

You need to put the javascript after the id "defined". Try to put it at the end of your postbit_classic template.
