any way to add another layer of menu functionality in vbulletin?

Fold out menus?

VBulletin has a built in drop down menu. I'd like to have submenus from the drop down, but no idea how. I saw people asking for it at vbulletin but no one answering them on how to achieve it.

I've seen a site that offers submenus but it isn't compatible with vb.

Anyone have an idea?

Is this the wrong forum for the question? Should I put it somewhere else?

The vBulletin Hack forum (vbulletin.org) might be a place to try. Which menu is it that you are trying to make multi-level?

I added a left-side navbar to a vB3 forum to provide easy and visible linkage to both important forums and other areas of the site.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think some portion of the user population will never realize there's more to a menu item if they can't see it, i.e., they won't hover or click to get more links.

I did try there to no avail.

I need a second level menu on one of the drop down from the top of the page.

I know what you mean about users, but in this particular case, the most appropriate for my needs is that submenu.

I'd like it to dropdown, then on mouseover roll out to the right.

I've never looked at the code for this function, but what you'll have to do is start with the main template for the page type and track down the sub-templates and/or php files that contain the menu you are trying to modify.

Or, you could try hiring a coder at the hack forum if you don't want to mess with it yourself. I've had mixed experience with that, so be sure to find someone with demonstrated longetivity.

I don't think I've ever seen a template mod on vbulletin.org that showed how to add a submenu.
Does it have to be a submenu? you could easily add a regular menu
