Hi,

I just upgraded from Multimenu 1.7 to 1.8., the 16 menu version. I'm receiving a bunch of errors, and I'm not sure if there is something I did wrong during the installation.

I overwrote the 1.7 module (all the files) with the new 1.8 module, and then updated the module in the administration section of my XOOPS installation. I noticed that there is an upgrade folder in the module, but the upgrade files in that folder seem to be for older versions (thus, I didn't run those).

Here are the errors I'm receiving:

Hi adrock,

That fixed it! Thank you!

Dave

thank you for the fix, it will be corrected in the next archive
(for all others languages too)

Right.. so I'm watching the demonstration of MultiMenu 1.8 in action on http://www.arma-sa.com and are stunned with amazement.. it looks AWESOME and is PRECISELY what I need for my gaming site... yet, my problem consists of not understanding the core structure of Xoops, and therefor the guide provided in MultiMenu is completely confusing for me.

Now, what I want to make is the "floating" menus like there is on arma-sa.com.. meaning.. you hover your mouse over something, and a sub-menu appears left of it.

But.. reading the guide with referrals to editing the theme.html file.. which I can't see any logic in (coder illeterate and scared of ruining anything), and a guide that referres to various 'smarty' stuff and so on just makes it too complicated for me.

A more in-depth guide that explained it to me as if I was a 4 year old would have been nice, and at the same time with an explanation of what links would do what in which type of navigation block as well.....

ok
- install multiMenu module
- go to multiMenu administration
- click on multiMenu 01
- click on 'new link'
- put a title, a link, a type for the first link
- repeat this for all your links
- go to block admin
- edit multiMenu 01
- choose a position (right, left...)
- choose the weight
- put a title for the block
- choose a format (vertical...)
- validate

see the result on your website

try with 2 or 3 links in a first time. (1 standard, and 2 secondary permanent for example)

post here if there's a problem with any of these explanations.
send us, if you can a link, with your menu, to help you to debug

except some rares cases, you don't need to edit any templates for use multiMenu.

Well.. you can actually go to http://renegade.insane-asylum.dk to view it. The block that says 'Game Portals' is set up with MultiMenu...

But.. instead of having it done like you see there.. what I'd like to get done is having it made, so when you for example hover the mouse cursor over 'Pirate of the Burning Sea' it will then show a new menu with the actual sub-links that belongs to that section.. and so on and so forth.

Does that make sense?

It's that specific feature I would LOVE to get.

ok,
can you give us, a screeshot of block's options for this menu.
and screenshot of your links too

Absolutely =)

http://www.insane-asylum.dk/files/MultiMenu01.jpg

I tried toying with selecting various other options.. like drop down of various sorts... but when I do that.. I can't make any links appear in the block at all.. they all just vanish and I get an empty block.. regardless of what type of links I make.

Also.. if you could explain how to set up that menu that appears once you right click the mouse button - That'd be fantastic also...

Most of all.. I just really really wanna make that menu system works so when you hover the mouse cursor over a specific item, and new menu pops up on the side... thats fantastic!

ok,
it's what I thought.
do you see : "block format" in http://www.insane-asylum.dk/files/BlockOptions.jpg

in the select list, change 'list' to 'vertical' for example
valid

then, for your links :
http://www.insane-asylum.dk/files/MultiMenu01.jpg

you must define : pirates of the burning sea as main link
that's right

but you must define the 6 next links, as permanent sublinks !
to reveal them onmouseover 'pirates of the burning'

same thing for 'age of conan' (main link)
and -coming soon (permanent link)

etc...

a submenu (composed of permanent/relative sublinks) is revealed onmouseover main link.

try to display again your webpage.

we will see for your context menu, when the vertical menu goes ok.
that will not be difficult.
