One more little question.

Sorry about this, but I'd LOVE to be able to display the dropdown menu on profile pages. I know that this is a bug on v.1.3.3, but I was wondering if there was a way to change some files to fix this without upgrading to v.1.3.4

'The' dropdown menu? Or just 'a' dropdown menu? What dropdown menu? Of what? How are you planning on using a dropdown menu??

I don't see any dropdown menus involved with profiles in v1.3.4...?

If you want to make using the GUI and populate it with stuff in the database (such as a list of pets), your best bet is to get HoF's attention because I don't know all the intricate changes between these two versions.

However, you could try finding someplace there is a dropdown list being used and try to understand it. You'll probably have to call a class file to basically tell it 'this is a new dropdown'. And it'll need to be inside of a form, of course, so that selecting something will actually take you someplace.

I've actually really been meaning to do some stuff with dropdown menus and according to the dropdown class file, it hasn't actually changed since v1.3.3. I think I will go download v1.3.3 and take a glance, but--

--what are you trying to do with a dropdown list, exactly?

PS: If by all this what you meant was "not have all bazillion pets the user owns on the same page without being paginated because the pagination is bugged' then, no, that was not fixed in v1.3.4, actually.

I'm refering to the dropdown menu that contains the site navigational links - it won't show up on the user profile page. I have no idea on how I can get that menu to show... I know this is related to the tab function.

Hmm! Oh, that's interesting. I never even noticed it was that way on your site.

The good news is that... it IS there.

And what I mean by that is, inspect the html of the page once it's rendered and search for 'ddmenu'. The css file is loading, and the div that holds the navigation is, too. But if you look at the 'li' elements in the navigation, all the links inside them have the class of 'hide' on them, thus, disabling them from view.

Add this line to your css to fix this:

.ddmenu ul li a.hide {
  display: block !important;
}

The !important will override the default behavior of 'hide' but only inside 'ddmenu'. It won't get rid of the class itself, but that's fine now. The javascript that controls the profile tab navigation is probably adding 'hide' to all 'li' elements except for the one belonging to the currently active tab.

Wow! Thanks Kyttias - You're as magical as always. XD
