change menu mod??

[essentialmadonna]

how would I go about changing the way the menu appears, currently it goes horizontally along the page but I would like it to go vertically, so it fits tidly down one side.  I know I could leave the menu out and just put in my own links on my template, but that way the admin and global moderator link would be available to all to see, even if they can't use it

does anyone know

hopefully you do

[Dude]

In subs.php look for this:

Code Select Expand

   $yymenu = "<a href=\"$scripturl\">$img[home]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$helpfile\" target=_blank>$img[help]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=search\">$img[search]</a>";
   if($settings[7] == 'Administrator') { $yymenu = $yymenu.$menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=admin\">$img[admin]</a>"; }
   if($username == "Guest") { $yymenu .= $menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$img[login]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=register\">$img[register]</a>";
   } else {
      $euser = urlencode($username);
      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=profile;user=$euser\">$img[profile]</a>";
      if($enable_notification) { $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=shownotify\">$img[notification]</a>"; }
      // Calendar.
if ($modSettings['cal_enabled'] == 1)
$yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$scripturl?action=calendar\">$img[calendar]</a>";

      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=logout\">$img[logout]</a>";
   }


and replace it with this

Code Select Expand

   $yymenu = "<a href=\"$scripturl\">$img[home]</a><br /><a href=\"$helpfile\" target=_blank>$img[help]</a>
   <br />
   <a href=\"$cgi;action=search\">$img[search]</a>";
   if($settings[7] == 'Administrator')
      $yymenu .= "<br /><a href=\"$cgi;action=admin\">$img[admin]</a>";
   if($username == "Guest")
   {
      $yymenu .= "<br /><a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$img[login]</a>
      <br /><a href=\"$cgi;action=register\">$img[register]</a>";
   }
   else
   {
      $euser = urlencode($username);
      $yymenu .= "<br /><a href=\"$cgi;action=profile;user=$euser\">$img[profile]</a>";
      if($enable_notification)
         $yymenu .= "<br /><a href=\"$cgi;action=shownotify\">$img[notification]</a>";
      // Calendar.
      if ($modSettings['cal_enabled'] == 1)
         $yymenu .= "<br /><a href=\"$scripturl?action=calendar\">$img[calendar]</a>";
      $yymenu .= "<br /><a href=\"$cgi;action=logout\">$img[logout]</a>";
   }

I haven't tested it but it should work.

just change $menusep value to <br />

[Dude]

just change $menusep value to <br />

uh, $menusep is used in more places than just the menu.  

[Spaceman-Spiff]

oh my... i didnt know that...
then u can put it before the menu code:
$menusep = "<br>";
and reset it again after the menu:
$menusep = "&nbsp;";

[Dude]

That would work.

Maybe something like this may even be better.
before the menu:
$tmpmenusep = $menusep;
$menusep = '<br />';

do the menu then

$menusep = $tmpmenusep;

that way you could change menusep in the .lng file without worrying about it here.

We ought to package this up as a mod. Should be the easiest one ever.
