Hi,

I have been given a new website plan, and there are 12 'major' menu items, and many sub items, in fact a number of sub items of the sub items, quite a 'tree' structure, and this module seems like a nice one for this type of menu usage.

I have installed the module, and it is working fine for displaying the main menu, with 'Homepage' at the top, and then the "News" module as another menu item.

Now I have realised that this module is setup to work to display other modules only, and not blocks of code. (doh).

Is it simply a matter of editing the template for the module, so that I can include blocks as well as modules, or would I be better to install something like 'TinyContent', and then have the 'blocks' appear as sub menu items under the 'TinyContent' module, all to be used with in the TreeMenuXL module.

Hope that makes sense,

Thanks,

Peter

Hi,

Thought it might be a bit more helpful to get advice on this if I displayed the website plan, as follows:

Quote:

Some of the menu links are static information, whilst others will 'grow', like "The Outreach Files", and others will move between (say) past trips and new trips type information. I realise a fair bit of this is "news" related, and may well be better suited to fit under different news categories, however the client does want the website plan to cater for the above, and have the menu links show in the structured format as above. :)

Thanks,

Peter

Hi,

Well, I think I have answered my own question.

The following code in /modules/treemenuxl/blocks/treemenuxl.php



the menu tree is built by modules, and sub links of modules.

Do any of the other menu modules cater for grouping blocks together, and still give the 'tree' type look ??

Hi,

Well, I have 'links' and 'contact us' sorted out, that was easy, just add the modules.

Can someone please advise what is the best method to address this menu problem please ?

Ideally, I would like it to be client side, the javascript type menu, as TreeMenuXL does, however I see there are other menu modules like:

* multiMenu 1.3.1
* iMenu
* mymenu

The first one mentioned, multiMenu is used (I think, .. hard to tell) at http://www.arma-sa.com , and this site uses a module called "wfsection" as well as the (normal) news module. That seems to be a suitable method of addressing this issue.

The only way to have it all under TreeMenuXL would be to define everything as a module. I guess I could use a "base" module and simply copy/rename to the new module name, for each main menu item. Seems like a hard way to do it though. :(

Would any of these modules help to have the menu structure as the new website plan requires ?

* TinyContent
* Homepage
* Freecontent
* CJaycontent

Hopefully there is an easy solution to addressing this problem.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi,

Any clues on how to do this, it does seem from the treemenuxl code that it displays only modules, and links/sublinks within modules.

Have been trying wf-sections, nice module to have the hierarchy type effect, but it is not displaying _within_ the 'mainmenu'. :(

See http://www.wf-projects.com/modules/ipboard/index.php?showtopic=1129

for some more info.

Thanks,

Peter
