username modifications

[Shemo]

is it possible to modify the user names in the post bit so it has a drop down when you click on their user name like with vbulletin?

Old, but you could probably do something similar.

Test it yourself and use at your own risk.

I think DragonFever had made something similar to this. search the http://mods.mybb.com/mods yourself.

Imran is correct - you can change compatibility and it works fine.

Lee,

http://community.mybb.com/thread-76564-p...http://community.mybb.com/thread-76564-post-560444.html

having an issue where it pushes the online status to a new line.

[Imran]

Yes, that's an issue with this plugin. Online status icon is below the username on postbit.

I think we can do this in template level, something like this?

HTML Code

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

<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"> Contents 1 </div> <div class="popup_item_container"> Contents 2 </div> </div>

And javascript:

Javascript Code

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

<script type="text/javascript"> // <!-- if(use_xmlhttprequest == "1") { new PopupMenu("profile_{$post['pid']}"); } // --> </script>

rateu, where in the template does the html go and where does the javascript go?

I don't want to be offensive, but seriously, figure it out yourself.  Plug it in random spots until you figure out how it works.  If you don't grow the balls to try it out, you'll never learn.

I'm starting to get sick and tired of people running forums, and wanting to do elaborate modifications without HTML/CSS knowledge.  I don't expect the clueless webmaster to know scripting of any kind (PHP, Javascript etc), however being competent in HTML and CSS is a must if you want to fiddle around with these things.
It's like applying for an accounting job when you can't even add numbers together.

I'm competent in html/css, but I'm not very familiar with the mybb templates.  

ps- I did get it working..thanks rateu for posting what you did...maybe I'll write up a tutorial for it and post it on mybb..so others can benefit from it.
