may I ask what dropdown menu you are using ?

[rk]

it seems to be a CSS-Menu with small javascript-part.

Code: Select all

sfHover = function() {
	var sfEls = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("LI");
	for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {
		sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {
			this.className+=" sfhover";
		}
		sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
			this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), "");
		}
	}
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);

But it doesn't work with Opera 7.22 and without javascript you see only the toplevel.

what replacement tag gives you the whole site structure as a ul/li list?

[mind-solutions]

hey,
if you mean something like that: http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/sitemap_en.phtml , it is no replacement-tag! It´s an artikel! you can choose it when you create articel.
so if you wanna have a sitemap, just create a new page and as articel "sitemap" that´s it.

hope i was right....

yes it is that... I know the sitemap function create a complete ul/li list with the whole site structure and that is just what I need.

But when you dont have a replacement tag then howto use it as the navigation in the template....?

Either Im missing something or he have recoded something...

I really need some things like that - because with that you can make very powerfull menus...

Have replacement tag as:
{DROPDOWN}

And have following code in css_dropdown.php in the frontend_render directory:

Code: Select all

<? $content['all'] = str_replace('{DROPDOWN}', build_dhtmlmenu(0, 'id="nav" class="dropdown"', 'class="active"'), $content['all']); ?>

Here is the CSS that I use for my menus:

Code: Select all

/* BEGIN Menu Definitions */

#nav, #nav ul {
	float: left;
	width: auto;
	list-style: none;
	line-height: 1;
	background-color: #71C02F; /* 496A91 */
	background-image: url(/img/nav_btm.gif);
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-position: left bottom;
	/* border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; */
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: x-small;
	* font-size: smaller;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0 0 -1px 0;
	* margin: -2px 0 0 0;
}

#nav a {
	display: block;
	width: auto;
	w\idth: auto;
	filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.dropshadow(OffX=1, OffY=1, Color='black', Positive='true');
	color: #FFFFFF;
	text-decoration: none;
	text-shadow: #000000 2px 2px 2px;
	padding: 0.5em 1em;
}

#nav li.active {
	background-color: #333333;
}

#nav li {
	float: left;
	padding: 0;
	width: auto;
/*	border-right: 1px solid #777777; */
}

#nav li ul {
	position: absolute;
	left: -999em;
	height: auto;
	width: 150px;
	w\idth: 150px;
	font-weight: bold;
	* font-size: xx-small;
	border: solid #777777;
	border-width: 1px 0 0 1px;
	margin: 0 0 0 0;
}

#nav li li {
	/* padding-right: 1em; */
	width: 150px;
/*	border-bottom: 1px solid #222222; */
}

#nav li ul a {
	width: auto;
	w\idth: auto;
}

#nav li ul ul {
	margin: -2.1em 0 0 150px;
}

#nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li:hover ul ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul ul {
	left: -999em;
}

#nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li li li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul, #nav li li.sfhover ul, #nav li li li.sfhover ul {
	left: auto;
}

#nav li:hover, #nav li.sfhover {
	background: #333333;
}

/* END Menu Definitions */

Hope this helps. Concerning the Opera problem. Is this Opera on Win or Mac or both. Have not tested on that browser. Tested on IE Win, Mozilla Mac/Win, Safari.

It is on Windows. Seems to be a problems with th css.

Yeah, I guessed it. I had 6.x version of Opera on Mac and it looked worse than in the 7.2x browser. I updated my Opera on Mac to latest version. I'll have to look into this. If anyone has any quick hints that would be great. Due to this being my job I've spent enough time with working out the bugs in IE and getting everything working in the previously mentioned browsers. From past traffic to a connected site most of our visitors will be using IE. I'm partial to Mozilla myself so this is what I tend to develop for initially then fix/hack out the IE bugs.

Is the calendar integrated into the backend or do you have another interface for it?

Is the calendar integrated into the backend or do you have another interface for it?

The calendar integration took a little bit of creative thinking to figure out. The calendar has it's own tables and it's own login/backend. I've basically integrated this into the CMS frontend. If I ever have time in the future I suppose I could figure out some sort of adapter mod that could integrate the calendar management into the CMS backend. What I actually did was use the following code in the calendar php files to insert the calendar into the CMS page using a replacement tag.

Code: Select all

// BEGIN phpWCMS template integration
ob_start();
// END phpWCMS template integration

Then the calendar script does it's duty. Then when it was done:

Code: Select all

// BEGIN phpWCMS template integration
$cmstmpl['calendar'] = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$cmstmpl['all'] = @file_get_contents('http://www.lbym.org/calview.phtml');
$cmstmpl['all'] = preg_replace("/href\ *\=\ *"/","href="/", $cmstmpl['all']);
$cmstmpl['all'] = str_replace('href="//', 'href="/', $cmstmpl['all']);
$cmstmpl['all'] = preg_replace("/href\ *\=\ *\'/","href='/", $cmstmpl['all']);
$cmstmpl['all'] = str_replace("href='//", "href='/", $cmstmpl['all']);
$cmstmpl['all'] = str_replace('href="/javascript:', 'href="javascript:', $cmstmpl['all']);
$cmstmpl['all'] = str_replace('href="/http:', 'href="http:', $cmstmpl['all']);
$cmstmpl['all'] = str_replace('<!-- EXTCAL_CSS -->', '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/phpwcms_template/inc_css/calendar.css">', $cmstmpl['all']);
$cmstmpl['all'] = str_replace('{EXTCAL}', $cmstmpl['calendar'], $cmstmpl['all']);

echo $cmstmpl['all'];
// END phpWCMS template integration

I know my use of multiple regular expressions isn't what it should be. My skills are pretty limited in terms of writting regular expressions. I need to take some time to get a better understanding of them. It's just time I don't have at the moment.

great work and great calendar.

can you tell me where i can download the calendar?

If you press a date in the calendar you jump to the day and in the footer you have:

http://extcal.sourceforge.net/

[marco]

It is not entirely clear what you did; could you axplain a bit more:

What I actually did was use the following code in the calendar php files to insert the calendar into the CMS page using a replacement tag.

Code: Select all

// BEGIN phpWCMS template integration
ob_start();
// END phpWCMS template integration

Which calendar pages, which CMS page, and which replacement tag are you refering to?

Then the calendar script does it's duty. Then when it was done:

Code: Select all

// BEGIN phpWCMS template integration
$cmstmpl['calendar'] = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
...
echo $cmstmpl['all'];
// END phpWCMS template integration

When it was done what, inserting the code or done something else? Sorry, but not being a PHP coder, it is a bit confusing.

Could you please explain this a bit more, what files are edited what replacement tag is used, and where is the code above inserted?

Thanks
