ok, i see you are using the old insert's method (deprecated) :

<td class="topnav" align="center">
<{include file="../modules/multiMenu/theme/multimenu.php"}>
td>


this explain why {alt} doesn't works

there is a new tip, to include multiMenu's block in template.
it was added in multiMenu 1.8 rc2 documentation.

this version will be published, i think, today or tomorrow.

can i modify your template with this new method ? in order to test.

Sure, barryc.net is just a test site, so no harm can be done.

Also, I just realized that I can be very stupid. I didn't really notice that the path/table choice in prefs was related to how the menu was generated in the theme, even though it plainly says it. When I choose path rather than table, the top menu from the theme looks good. I will look forward to seeing that tip. The theme's code is old, I guess, and I'm not a good enough coder to update it properly.

ok, i've integrated a multiMenu's block in your theme on barryc.net (just the first part of the job)

you'll see code's modification :
2 times in theme.html

you must change css's declaration for this horizontal menu.

with this, your menu will look like the menu on aka.org
(need to center the block, and add a picture between links)
you must modify the template.


#dropmenudiv05{
position:absolute;
margin-left:18px;
margin-top:0px;
}

#dropmenudiv05 a{
width: 160px;
display: block;
text-indent: 12px;
padding: 4px 0;
background: url('http://www.barryc.net/modules/multiMenu/script/images/arrow2.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat; 
background-position: left 50%;
}

#dropmenudiv05 a:hover{ /*hover background color*/
}

li.multimenu {
list-style: none; 
margin: -3px; 
display: inline;
}

li.multimenu a {
cursor:pointer;
padding: 3px 0.5em; 
margin-top: 0px; 
}


you can try this code.
background and border are deleted.

Here's another thing that I just noticed that might be a bug. I have several menus operational, namely mm01,02,03,04,05,06, 08. 01, 02, 03, 06 and 08 are all set in prefs to show in the index page (i.e. the site map). The header info for menus 01, 02, and 03 show (with the name I've set and the edit icon). The header does not show for menus 06 and 08. I temporarily turned on all the menus to show in the index page and the headers all show correctly. When I again turned off 04, 05, 07 the header for 06 no longer shows. It seems that if one menu is set to not show, those after it lose the header.

Hum, i can't reproduce this bug

and look at :
http://myxoops.romanais.info/modules/multiMenu/
i have deactivated block3, and others menus are displaying correctly.

can you try to update to 1.8 rc2 ?

http://www.arma-sa.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=7&lid=29

a Solo's tip to upgrade without problems :

Quote:

backup multiMenu (mysql data and folder)
uninstall completely the old version
install 1.8 rc2
and restore MySQL backup.

I followed this procedure on my test site, barryc.net. I backed up the tables multiMenu01-08 and multiMenu_counter and I copied the mm folder to my local machine. I then deactivated and uninstalled the module, deleted the multiMenu folder from the server, copied the new one, then installed it. It is installed and I can access the config page and admin page with the links to the various menus. Only mM08 contains data. However, when I try to access the index page (site map) I get a blank page. PHP error is:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ')' in /home/barrycne/public_html/modules/multiMenu/include/multimenu.php on line 68

Therefore I haven't tried to restore the old mySQL files.

Any comments?

Done. See my PM. PHP debug is still on, by the way.

You either stay up very late, or get up very early

Solo & blueteen:

As the upgrade on my barryc.net test site went OK, I tried upgrading my live site, even though the MM 1.8 menus are available only to a limited number of people so far. I had a strange experience.

I backed up the existing tables & the multiMenu folder as suggested by Solo, uninstalled the module then reinstalled. I then restored the old db tables. Everything seemed to go OK except that I lost my blocks. The content was there when I viewed the site map.

I then remade my blocks, using switch vertical. These initially seemed OK. I noticed that you have removed the old method to place a menu in the top nav bar, so I decided to switch temporarily back to my theme.html in which the the top nav links are hard coded. There is no other difference in the file except for the replacement of the statement with the hard coded links.

After I did that my switch vertical blocks no longer worked. The block title was visible, but no main file or permanent sublinks were. Changing the menu type to some of those at the bottom of the list of types in block setup allowed them to work (e.g. drop-down worked). I tried uninstalling multiMenu again, then re-installed it, but the menu blocks still did not work.

I then uninstalled and reinstalled the previous version. I again lost the blocks, but re-configured them, and the switch vertical works.

I really don't know what the basis for this is. I will try again on Sunday and if it happens again I will give blueteen access to look at it. This is just to let you know that something odd happened.

blueteen, I guess I really am going to have to work out the css for the new method of creating top nav blocks
