Edit Template File With My Own Custom DropDown Menu

I'd like to edit one of the template files to include a custom drop down but I'm having a bit of trouble modifying this to do what I want.

Code:

<table width="100%" class="t_standard">
<tr>
<td class="tdheader" style="cursor: pointer" id="options_control" onclick="showHideMenu('options_control','options_popup')">
{$lang.FORUM_OPTIONS} <img style="vertical-align: middle" src="{$config.BASE_URL}/images/{$style_array.general}/toggle_open.gif" alt="" />
</td></tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

So I'm not sure where the array $lang.FORUM_OPTIONS is stored. Basically I want to create my own array of links.

Anyone done this or can help me out? If so, post your customer DropDown Menu code here. Thanks.

I guess not really what I wanted. Just interested in some code that I can insert in the template to do a dropdown menu with the same look and feel but where I can edit the links to my liking. Anyone done this? Copy/paste your code in this thread...

You'd be better off with modification requests at UBBDev as most of the people over there specialize in tearing the UBB apart

I looked and couldn't find anything. Hmm, I'll keep trying to figure it out. Shouldn't be too hard.

Ok got it working! I edited the activetopics template file because I decided I want this to be my homepage view. I wanted a dropdown that allowed users to post a new topic to whichever forum they wanted. Here's the code in case anyone else wants to do this.

Code:

<!--BEGIN CUSTOM MENU-->

<div id="mymenu_popup" style="display: none;">
<table class="popup_menu">
<tr><td nowrap='nowrap' class="popup_menu_header">
Which Forum?
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="popup_menu_content">
<a href="{$config.BASE_URL}/ubbthreads.php?ubb=newpost&Board=8">Everything Audio</a>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="popup_menu_content">
<a href="{$config.BASE_URL}/ubbthreads.php?ubb=newpost&Board=2">The Lounge</a>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="popup_menu_content">
<a href="{$config.BASE_URL}/ubbthreads.php?ubb=newpost&Board=3">Buy and Sell</a>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="popup_menu_content">
<a href="{$config.BASE_URL}/ubbthreads.php?ubb=newpost&Board=4">Tips and Tricks</a>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="popup_menu_content">
<a href="{$config.BASE_URL}/ubbthreads.php?ubb=newpost&Board=5">Listen To My Recording</a>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="popup_menu_content">
<a href="{$config.BASE_URL}/ubbthreads.php?ubb=newpost&Board=6">DA7 Support</a>
</td></tr>
</table></div>
<script type="text/javascript">registerPopup("mymenu_popup");</script>

<!--END CUSTOM MENU-->

Then insert this where you want the dropdown to appear

Code:

<td width="13%" class="tdheader" style="cursor: pointer;" id="mymenu_control" onclick="showHideMenu('mymenu_control','mymenu_popup')">
<a href="javascript:void(0);"><img style="vertical-align: middle" src="{$config.BASE_URL}/images/{$style_array.general}/posticon.gif" alt="" border="0" /> New Topic</a>
<img style="vertical-align: middle" src="{$config.BASE_URL}/images/{$style_array.general}/toggle_open.gif" alt="" /> 
</td>

Wasn't too hard to figure out. You could do this anywhere.

You can see a working example here: http://www.audiotalkback.com

Upper left hand corner where it says New Topic on blue bar.
