Hi,

I am trying out XOOPS & Softcomplex Javascript Menubuilder v1.0.3 for the first time and I cant figure out how to insert the menu. [Xoops v.2.0.7.3 is installed on a local server Apache/MySQL/php v4.3.9 /v5

I made a test menu with the following files saved:


menu.js
menu_tpl.js
menu_items.js
menu.css
index.html

The index.html test file works fine in the browser. How do I insert the menu in XOOPS theme.html [for example somewhere in the top next to the XOOPS menu in the default theme.]



I am no good in PHP and Javascripts so please elaborate.

Either make a new block in the templates or go to the theme and make a table than do file include

I successfully(?) added a number of small javascript menus into my site by inserting them into blocks. See 'Profiles' or 'News' onhttp://www.grandz.net/dragonfly/

My only problem is that ic an have no more than 1 javascript function on the same page. For example, my javascript menu for 'Profiles' sits at the top of each wfsections page. If I try to create an article with an animated jpg (using javascript and html) it will not work because I am already running javascript in the menu above it.

Similarly, I cannot have two different javascript menus (using blocks) in the same column nor can I put any other blocks after the javascript menu because the menu seems to sit 'above' the XOOPS template.

Do I need to insert the code into the theme.html file and if so how do i do this?

Been trying to figure this out for a long time so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running XOOPS 2.0.6.
many thanks
Jamboree

I am also still stuck with the Tigra menu.

It was mentioned elsewhere on this forum that a module for Tigra menu was developed. Where can I download it ? Or can someone who has it send me one please ? [Even a sample theme with a menu will do so I can see how its done]

I'm testing the tigra menu on my site right now :
First copy the menu files to the directory of the theme that you use.
Then insert in the header of your theme.html file :
Quote:
<!-- styles for demo menu #1-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<{$xoops_url}>/themes/themedirectory/yourmenu.css" />


The in the same theme.html file insert just before the /body (end body tag)

Quote:
<!-- menu script itself. you should not modify this file -->
<script language="JavaScript" src="<{$xoops_url}>/themes/yourthemedirectory/menu.js"></script>
<!-- items structure. menu hierarchy and links are stored there -->
<{if $xoops_langcode == 'en'}>
<!-- Load English menu -->
<script language="JavaScript" src="<{$xoops_url}>/themes/yourthemedirectory/menue_items.js"></script>
<{else}>
<!-- Else load Dutch menu -->
<script language="JavaScript" src="<{$xoops_url}>/themes/yourthemedirectory/menu_items.js"></script>
<{/if}>
<!-- files with geometry and styles structures -->
<script language="JavaScript" src="<{$xoops_url}>/themes/yourthemedirectory/menu_tpl.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--//
// Note where menu initialization block is located in HTML document.
// Don't try to position menu locating menu initialization block in
// some table cell or other HTML element. Always put it before </body>

// each menu gets two parameters (see demo files)
// 1. items structure
// 2. geometry structure

new menu (MENU_ITEMS, MENU_POS);
// make sure files containing definitions for these variables are linked to the document
// if you got some javascript error like "MENU_POS is not defined", then you've made syntax
// error in menu_tpl.js file or that file isn't linked properly.

// also take a look at stylesheets loaded in header in order to set styles
//-->
</script>
</body>


Because I have a multilingo site I use to different menu_items files. If you don't have that then there is no need for that of course
Hope this helps

Aloha

Thanks svaha for the help.

I can easily position the menu in the theme.html using the coordinates in menu_tpl.js . The problem I have is I am unable to make it appear in the index.php page

One of the reasons for my problem is I am a complete idiot in coding [which you might have figured already]

Well then we can shake hands, because I'm an allround idiot.
The themes are cached in the templates_c folder (directory), so before you see changes, you first have to delete the cached theme in this folder. Did you do this already or not?
