DHM Version 1.0.0

This add-on allows you to make from the main navigation links (left and/or right) a menu that drops down on mouseover/on hover.

This is finally a proper, well thought over, professionally made way of handling xF2 main navigation menu links with dropdown on mouseover/on hover.

Here you can see it on the left navigation menu:

And this is the right navigation menu:

• User group permissions

This add-on is installed on this website so you can see here how it works. You need to be logged in because this add-on has also a user group setting and for Unregistered / Unconfirmed, Guest, this add-on is turned off. It is mostly because to demonstrate this functionality :

There are also several other options in Setup->Options:

• Turn off DHM for styles

Option #1 from Setup->Options (the image above) allows you to turn off this add-on for any style you want. Let's say you have a heavily modified style and it doesn't work right from the start for you in that particular style, so you just turn this add-on off for that style until you manage to work out the layout.
You just type the number of a style or styles and separate then with a comma. If you don't know the ID of your style, click this spoiler to find out:

Spoiler: Find your style's ID

You can find the style ID by hovering over the link of a style.

• Enable whole buttons on hover

Option #2 from Setup->Options (the image above) allows you to function on hover only the "arrow" part of the button on the left navigation menu. Or you can make the whole button function on hover.

• Enable right menu on hover

Option #3 from Setup->Options (the image above) allows you to choose if you want to make also the right side menu to work on hover, some people might not want it. On our website is this right navigation menu turned off, but if you want to see it working, just PM me and I will activate it for a short time.

• User Preferences option

Some people like dropdown hover menu, some don’t. Your users are the greatest asset of your forum. Give your users the freedom to choose what they want. This DHM add-on allows you to do so. There is an option in the user's preferences that can turn off this add-on.

Hi, is it possible to make the drop down menu automatically close when you take your cursor off it?

Apart from that, a great add-on

New feature added in the admin settings, "Close menu on mouse leave" checked by default.

The "Enable dropdown hover menu" feature in the user's preferences should be checked by default also for newly registered users.

DHM Version 2.1.0

FIXED: 1. When right menu on hover is disabled, it is still closing the menu on mouse leave. It should work like there is no DHM add-on used at all.

FIXED: 2. The add-on shouldn't work on any other links other than the main menu link. Like for example it shouldn't work on "Filters" link.

FIXED: 3. When "Enable right menu on hover" and "Close menu on mouse leave" is checked, and when your mouse leaves the links in the right menu with the cursor moving up, the menu stays open.

FIXED: 4. I've also noticed an issue with the Conversations and Alerts menu's flashing once, and then working properly on subsequent mouseovers.

FIXED: 5. When going to the right menu with the cursor from the bottom, sometimes the menu opens and sometimes doesn't. From top and left it works always.
