Which file to download?
With styles -> quick_menu1.2_styled.zip
Default view -> quick_menu1.2_nostyle.zip
1.1 RC 1 Users, please read!
I have been told that SMF 1.1 RC 1 has a bug about packages. There are pictures in the package but package manager does extract empty files. So, maybe you will need to extract the GIF/PNG images that are included in the package into your SMF home directory
1.0.5 Users, I think to make it available for 1.0.5 but sorry if it comes late. Because I tried but couldnt make the action.
Latest note: damn this is a very littlie modification, why did i feel like i did a great job and wrote this very long story??? :P
Looks great :)

Err, spelling error:
My Subscribtions
Should read My Subscriptions
Is this something we can edit in a php file or just wait for a new package?
Thanks,
If I could figure out how to add this to my helios and Apollo themes I would be all over it.
Very nice work!!

you can open the .xml file in the package, then look what it searches and replaces in which files. so you can easly apply them in your theme :)
i am glad someone will use as i wrote thinking it would be usefull :)
Great, thanks.
My moderators love this feature.
updated to 1.2
sorry for the past errors.
Hello, I posted earlier about how I couldn't find the Quick Menu box...
I found it.
It's in the topic/post display part of the forum.
Is there a way I can add it to the frontpage?
(Index Page)
And is there a way I can move it to the top part of the forum?
(On all pages)
both your questions can be answered yes. but you have to manually do it.
just open the .xml file and find the exact code for Quick Menu, then add it anywhere you like.
(i am thinking of a release that will put Quick Menu everywhere in the site, for example into BoardIndex, into Profile menu... etc.. but i dont know when it becomes out)
Ahhh. Thanks. I will do that.
SMF should make this mod built-in. It's great.
any reason why this doesn't have a go button?
when i want to go back to the board in which i came from (from the thread back to the board) i can't... i have to scroll to the top and click on the board instead of doing the usual just clicking "go" to take me back to the board that my thread is currently in
i didnt put a go button, because i dont think its really usefull. when you select that page, anyway you want to go there, so why a new "go" button? this is my opinion but anyway defaultly in SMF, script doesnt wait you to press go button.
when you select your destination, without clicking the button, it will take you to that place
i know that... that's not what i mean... take this thread for example... lets say i want to use the "jump to" to go back to the "mods and packages" board... i can't just go to the pull down box and select it cause it's already the highlighted suggestion it wont jump to anything automatically... that is why the go button is there in the first place...
now i have to scroll all the way to the top and click on my link tree to get back there... it's a bit annoying really
hmm.. ok then.. you can put that button manually to your theme, i am not planning to update the package right now, because i plan to update when i am ready to put this jumpto box into boardindex, into profile page and maybe into the admin panel. (i am planning to put admin panel shortcut into Quick Menu also..)
find this:
</select>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td>
and before the </tr> put this code:
<td>
<input type="button" value="', $txt[161], '" onclick="if (this.form.jumpto.options[this.form.jumpto.selectedIndex].value) window.location.href = \'', $scripturl, '\' + this.form.jumpto.options[this.form.jumpto.selectedIndex].value;" /></td>
now you should have that button near your Quick Menu.
please note that you will have to roll back these changes if you would like to unintall Quick Menu sooner.
additionally, if you will like to have the button in default and classic themes, you will need to apply this modification to these files:
1- /Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php
2- /Themes/default/Display.template.php
3- / Themes/classic/MessageIndex.template.php
4- /Themes/classic/Display.template.php
ok :)
thanx heaps for that :)
and i cant wait for the next version, i was actually thinking that the other day when i was browsing, thinking it would be good to have that box in other places like admin...
:D
folks,
i am working on a new release of this mod.
what i will change;
- Personal Actions for quests will show only Login and Register options. (everything will be removed including theme changer)
- I will ad an administration menu for admins
- I will TRY to add a language changer.
- I will add Quick Menu to theme index, so it will show up on everypage in the forum.
- I will combine the installations of 1.1 beta 3 and 1.1 rc1 (done)
- I will TRY to carry the texts to language files, so that will be easy to translate
- Still no support for 1.0.5 :(
now, i want to learn how people likes to see it.
shall i seperate the administration menu from quick menu and put it near it like? ;
Quick Administration Quick Menu
- select box here - select box here
shall i seperate the language and theme choose IF I CAN?
if you want to use, please ideas.. ? :) :P

Thank you again, as I said, my mods went nuts we I installed this. They love it.
I would vote for the seperation of admin and menu.
And for my forum, I only have one theme available and all use english, so the lang & theme can go away for me...

Actually I had that problem with 1.1 RC 1 version... Tho what I did .. unpacked it on my computre then just zipped all the files .. installed perfectly for me..
Good Mod tho just started using these type boards and that mod thus far is great.. and easy to switch themes and all that stead of going thru your profile stuff..
Thanks again...
Take care
sorry but i can enable it?
It doesnt need to be enabled. It automatically re-places the default jump-to box
ok work perfect now
one question there is one way for make it multilanguage? example now is in english but i have italian, english, spanish german language in my forum is possible make multilanguage?
Not multilanguage now :( You can use only with one language. But you can ofcourse translate it to other languages but usage will be individual. I dont know if there is really a usage potential of this mod. I think to make it multilingual (as I stated above) but I dont want to spend my time for free. I will do if it will really be used.
This works great on my default theme, but I don't know how to get it to work on a customized one (Saf-Theme). I tried looking for the lines manually and editing them, but I was stuck on the very first line:
<table border="0" width="100%">
It's not in my template file. What should I do from there?
Thanks.
It is.
This menu takes place in every theme maybe with little differences.
The codes you look for are in MessageIndex.template.php and Display.template.php
Just search for --------
And you will see the codes around ;)
I'm sorry, but can you please tell me exactly what to change in a non-default theme and where?
From the above I have to change messageindex.template and display.indext.template, but what exactly to I have to add /change/ replace to get it to work?
I installed on default and it looks great :) but we dont use the default :( so it needs to go on the other themes or you cant get back if you change a theme.
thanks in advance
You can see it in the .xml file thats included in the package.
Do the same changes that the mod does to your theme.
Or simply copy the changed files from default :P
Shall I release this mod for 1.1 RC2 ? :\
YES, please!
just one more question
I wanted to change the colour of the quick menu box as it really clashes with my forum colours
I found it in display template and changed the colours there but it didnt change anything on the forum, it is still grey. Is there somewhere else that I need to edit the colours apart from the display template
~thanks
I'm not be able to install the mod on SMF 1.0.7 ... :'( ::)
Yes its not competible with 1.0.x
I plan to improve it more and make it more stable in a time my school lets me breath..
Is this compatible with rc2 yet?
No no yet, so sorry for the late answer.
I have plans to update and develop it a bit more (as we discussed in this topic)
But I have some personal issues taking time.
desperately need this for 1.1.1! don't mean to sound ungrateful :) this is an awesome mod but I'm running 1.1.1 and totally need an update, you know whenever you get a chance, thanks
-SelArom
I'd love this mod for my 1.1.2
Looks idea, plus a great improvement...
~Kerrang!
I uploaded the unzipped folder via Package Manager by don't see a apply mod button beside it. How do I install this mod?
I would love this mod for 1.1.3 too. :)
How come you don't have a release for SMF 1.1.3? Are you planning for one?
Thanks.
