Whats this mod for?
This modification will replace the  "Jump to:" box with a more enhanced one.
With the new dropdown menu, you will be able to do personal actions. Also, you will be able to change your theme from this menu very easly.
And some styles added using guistuff modules. (guistaff.com)
It is tested many times about installation, uninstallation and usage with 1.1 Beta 3 Public. and 1.1 RC 1
The package and the licence
Mod has two different builds. One has some extra text styles on it. The other one has SMF default style.
See the previews below. The codes included in this mod complies with the XHTML 1.0 Transitional standards which SMF is written on...

By the way, CODES inside this package has GNU GPL but the pictures are under the rights of GuiStuff.com They can not be used for commercial aims. But can be used freely for any other things.
Theme option is taken from the codes written by Kirby


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???

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,

[Gargoyle]

If I could figure out how to add this to my helios and Apollo themes I would be all over it.

Very nice work!!

i thougt it should be subscribtions because of "subsribe"
i will correct it right now in the package..

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

[Simplemachines Cowboy]

My moderators love this feature.

[Elmacik]

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)

[Elmacik]

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)

[Escobar]

Ahhh. Thanks. I will do that.
SMF should make this mod built-in. It's great.

[LostProphecy]

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

[Elmacik]

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

[LostProphecy]

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

[Elmacik]

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:

Code Select Expand


</select>

</td></tr>
</table>

</td>

and before the </tr> put this code:

Code Select Expand


<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

[LostProphecy]

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...
