MyBB Community Forums

Hi, I have a website where I want to add a forum. I havent picked my software choice yet but mybb looks to be the most featured of the non commercial choices and even better then most commercial ones.

This site here is built in vbulletin. www.boards.ie

If you click on that site and see the top heading bar, mouse hovering gives the dropdown list of subforums and categories.

Is it possible to replicate that dropdown feature in mybb?

That feature is not specific to any type of forum software. This would be achievable via a simple template edit, I assume there's multiple tutorials around with simple JS snippets to achieve this.

So in answer to your question, yes you would be able to do this on MyBB, editing the header template would do it.

You can achieve a Dropdown on hover as follow:

Suppose, your menu is wrapped as:

<div id="mymenu">
<ul>
<li>
<a href="#">Forums</a>
<ul>
<li class="subforums">
Sub forum 1
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

And CSS:

.mymenu ul li ul {
display:none;
}
.mymenu ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
}

No javascripts, simple and easy with CSS!
