[Block] Board Index Menu

[MBry0]

It works. It just needs some font adjustement. Thank you for the quick solution!

[MBry0]

I've made a litte modification to the IchBin code and added a very simple jquery toggle effect.

Hi MBry0,

Very nice.

However, it seems that the + sign shows up next to the main board even if the Main Board has no child boards, at least that a guest can see.  I'm wondering, could you post the entire code you are using so that I could have a look at it to see if I can figure out how to remove the + sign if there are no child boards.

Thanks,
ZarPrime

you must globalize $scripturl that will fix the errors

how to make original board index layout in the block?

[IchBin]

Edit this section of the code to output what you would like it to be:

Code Select Expand

foreach ($context['jump_to'] as $category){
// edit the following line if you want to change the style of the category text.
echo '<span style="line-height: 10px; font-weight: bold;" class="normaltext" ><b>', strtoupper($category['name']), '</b></span><br />';

foreach ($category['boards'] as $board){
            if (!$board['child_level']){
//edit the following line for the regular board text
echo '<a href="',$scripturl,'?board=', $board['id'], '">', $board['name'], '</a><br />';
//this line you can edit for the topics count text
echo '<span class="smalltext" style="margin-left: 10px;">', $board['topics'],' ', $txt[330], '</span><br />';
}
else{
//this line you can edit to change the child board text
echo '<a class="normaltext" style="margin-left: 20px;" href="',$scripturl,'?board=', $board['id'], '">', $board['name'],'</a><br />';
}
         
}
}

[MrCare]

[IchBin]

There is no ssi function that does this.
