{NAV_MENUBAR} Dropdown menubar

[Kosse]

Hi ondergang

Hi all, i get the toplevel to work, but the subitem doesn’t show as a submenu but rather then a link text on my page.
Any idea what should i do now?
thanks!!!

Can u show a link please? I don't understand your question, my intellect is somehow limited as well as my php, css, html and design skills, but I (and almost everyone here) try to anwser to the questions I DO KNOW the answer, not just for posting...

Also, should you try to ask in a little bit more nicer way (instead of being sarcastic or plain rude ?) I'm sure you would get more replies, otherwise ... you'll just be ignored by most and that is sad, because everyone here is very keen in helping others.

Cheers

Hi Kosse
Thank you soo much!!! I didn’t expect any help certainly after my last post.

I followed the instructions and i put this in my header:
<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" />

If you click on downloads you will see it doesn’t show the submenu but rather then a text link on my page self

Dear Ondergang,

I am not sure what you expect to see, but it doesn't look like you have any sublevels. Hence, you will not see submenues. The menubar seems to be working just fine.

Best Regards,

Jens

As JensZ pointed out (--> you see pple will help you) , you'll have to have sublevels (don't forget to set to -1 in admin if u want only the first article to be displayed) to show a submenu, as for articles, you'll need to link to them (content part article link) or use other techniques (in forum there is teaser_tag and others that can help you).

Btw, if you are just starting to build your site I'll suggest you use 1.2.6 version (instead of RC1.4, that is like 1 year old and lacks features), it's stable and offers (much) more possibilities.

Cheers

Thanks JensZ & Kosse!!!

Kosse : good advice I am gonna install 1.2.6 and try to link it properly this time

Is it possible to choose category to display in menu?

[JensZ]

You can always hide the structure levels that you don't want to see.

Is the a way to make this work on a multilingual site? For example I have:

- English
--- Info
--- Links
--- Contact
- French
--- Fries
--- Nuggets
--- Rolls
- German
--- Cars
--- Women
--- Magazines

I could have something like {NAV_MENUBAR:1} depending on the id of the structure level I want to show on the page. This way I could show only English on one page and French on the other.

So how about it?

[JensZ]

I think it could be done quite easily with a few changes. I'm just guessing here, but try the following.

change #1:

Code: Select all

function getHorizMenuBar($startLevel = 0)

change #2:

Code: Select all

// Root level
if($struct == $startLevel)

change #3:

Code: Select all

if( ! ( strpos($content["all"],'{NAV_MENUBAR')===false ) ) 
{
	$content["all"] = preg_replace('/\{NAV_MENUBAR:(.+?)\}/ei','getHorizMenuBar($1);', $content["all"]);
	$content["all"] = str_replace("{NAV_MENUBAR}", getHorizMenuBar(), $content["all"]);
	$content["all"] = str_replace('{SITE}', PHPWCMS_URL, $content["all"]);	
}

The reptag will look like {NAV_MENUBAR[:structure_level_id]}, where the structure_level_id is optional.

Please let me know if it works...

Good luck!

Thank you so much Jenz for that awesome script
In case it might help others to get it running...

I was fighting a bit to get it working and
noticed that I simply had to modify the HEAD calls, a tiny bit.

Before: (as in the menubar.txt file):
<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" />

After: I simply had to modify the paths (by removing the first slash(s)):
<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" />

All's working perfect now

Thanks again JensZ

Hi All,

Has anyone had any success turning this horizontal nav into a vertical nav? I've tried a couple of times with no luck. I love the script, and really need it vertical.

Thanks much.

Hi Skipy,


the search, print and sitemap functions are all standard functions in phpwcms...

Please search in the content parts and you will see...

Hi Skipy,

you can integrate it wherever you want!

Example:

Sitemap

- Create a new site level named "sitemap" and alias "sitemap"
- Create in this site level a new article with content part "sitemap".
- Include in your template wherever you want the following code (for example near the breadcrumb menu):

Code: Select all

<a href="index.php?sitemap">Sitemap</a>

Now you can see a link called "Sitemap near your breadcrump menu that links to the content part sitemap... Simple, isn't it?
