{NAV_MENUBAR} Dropdown menubar

JensZ · Post by **JensZ** » Thu 9. Jun 2005, 14:06

Hello,

Another replacement tag for a menubar like the one on my site http://www.ikfrej.se. Please check out http://www.brainjar.com for the manufacturer of this great menubar.

Download at: http://www.ikfrej.se/phpwcms_filestorage/menubar.zip

Installation instructions:

* Unzip the package in your phpwcms root directory.
* Add the following to your <head> section:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/phpwcms_template/inc_js/menubar.js"></script>
<link href="/phpwcms_template/inc_css/menubar.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
* Make adjustments to menubar.css to change the size and appearance of the menubar to fit your needs
* Use the {NAV_MENUBAR} replacement tag where you want the menubar to appear.

Enjoy,

Jens

I have patched it a bit and also integrated it - but there seems to be some problems I don't understand. Maybe you can check it - I have placed it in SourceForge CVS.

I have enhanced system a bit: now it's possible to enhance head area by script itself with neccessary CSS and JS information. And if same is used twice only used once there.

You can contact me if interested - and I will send you an link to my development account.

Cool!

What seems to be the problem? The script has not been tested with all browsers, pagelayouts, etc, so there could potentially be some bugs. Let me know what I can do to help.

I have two commented lines in the code for the css and js files, but I wasn't sure it was valid html when the <link rel...> tag appears outside the <head> section. I am sure your enhancement takes care of that.

Cheers,

Jens

I have updated the script, and I think it works as it should.

Hi

nice Script - have installed it but I can't get the Top of a Structurlevel ( Level1 - Level2 and so on) only sub1.1, sub1.2 etc.

Code: Select all

home -|
      +-Level1 +
               +sub1.1
               +sub1.2 
      +-Level2 +
               +sub2.1
               +sub2.2

Hi

thanks - it's now closer to that what I need

but the link to a Top-Level only works when there is no Sub-Level,
if there is are one ore more Sub-Levels I still can't get the Top-Level

see at my Page

it works on "Texte" (no Sub's) but not on "phpwcms"
you understand what I mean?

Added
and the Roll-Down opens only if you Click on it - not by Mouse-Over ?!

Pico, I am going to try to fix it as soon as I get a moment. I don't have the same situation on my site structure, so I don't have the same problem. I'll make a post when I've fixed it...

thanx - it's not urgent

About opening only when you click:

The whole idea is that it behaves like a windows menu. Personally, I like when things only happen when I request it to happen, not when I roll over something and all of a sudden a drop down comes down. Just personal preference. Maybe you can ask Oliver to make that an option when he integrates the menubar in the next release.

Check out http://www.brainjar.com to see what you can do to the menubar with the help of css. Pretty cool...

Hi Jenz,

Thanks for the great work on this hack/enhancement.

Is there a way to use this menu vertical instead of horizontal? CSS edit or something?

JensZ · Post by **JensZ** » Fri 4. Nov 2005, 09:09

Probably. It's not built in, but should be doable. Check out http://www.brainjar.com, there's a whole tutorial on how to build the menubar. Perhaps you can think of a way to make it vertical?!

How's Macon these days? I've been there a couple of times, playing soccer against Mercer University. I used to go to FAU.

Cheers,
Jens

Small world. Macon's good. Still a sleepy little town, but good all the same.

I'll check the Brainjar tutorial and see if I can get it to work.
Thanks,
Mark
