Great Contribution! Easy to install and configure!

However, I have one question. I'm sure this is simple, but I just can't seem to figure it out. I'm using the tree menu style and wondering how I go about changing the color of the "+" & "-" symbols. They are currently black and my background is also black so you can't really see them. I'd like to change them to white if possible.

Thanks in advance for any help!

in fact tree_collapse_corner_first.png AND
tree_expand_corner_first.png are missing

Gosh, I've never noticed that - never got a broken image and in the thousands of Dynamenu for PN downloads, noones ever mentioned it(!)... Will upload a new package to the contribs, as soon as I can...

1) It would be extremely helpful to have separate styles for the tree menu > subcategories as you have done for the vertical flyout. We tried to figure out how to apply the styles on our own but we couldn't figure it out   Do you have any insight on that? Is it even possible?

Probably possible, but no I do not have a solution for that... Maybe some kind of hack to build function to change root level items (similar to how items are marked selected or expanded?

2) I think I saw you mention something in this thread to the affect that the first category in the list, when clicked, doesn't automatically branch out/expand... Is that a common bug? How fixable is it?

It only seems to manifest itself if the product is clicked from "What's New" or something like that. If the person implicitly expands the node, it appears to work fine...

3) Any clue why the flyout menu would be so darn slow on Opera 8+ using a mac (not sure about PC's)?

Tested on Opera * on PC and no issues... Not sure about macs....

4) I need to find something like your horizontal flyout menu but for my main links. Do you have any recommendations?

Yes, you can use the PHP Layers menu libraries... They can coexist on the same page....

I have an alternate icon set for dark backgrounds on my website (can't give URL look in docs) -- look under random extra stuff category...

Hi I’ve had the following contribution installed
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...Article+Manager for the last 6 months or so, but as the sections now expanded the navigations becoming increasing messy and I really need to find a solution before the problem gets any worse!

When doing a general search I luckily came across your support pages, but your script has been written to work only for the categories (CPATH) section of the site! I would really appreciate any support you can offer to help me convert your script to work for the “articles manager” (TPATH)!

Thanks a lot!

Ya I couln't find anything either but ended up using photoshop to modify the "+" & "-" symbols. I didn't realize that these were images included with the contrib. I changed them all to the same color as the lines. Works well and looks good!

Natch - it's a script for the categories menu and not for third-parth contribs

Changing it to work with another parent/child type structure, would really just be a matter of changing the Dbase query round line 235 and changing the output of the tep_make_cat_branch function... Unfortunately I do not know more about that contrib to offer more detailed advice...

Check the top menu -> pn/xaraya/osc -> downloads -> "random extra stuff" category. There a DL entitled: "DynaMenu Inverse Tree Menu Images"

[nate_02631]

FYI, a repacked Dynamenu (v 1.11)has been uploaded which includes the missing tree menu images, tree_expand_corner_first.gif & tree_collapse_corner_first.gif.

Great contribution - I've got it installed on my website that's about to go live - but had a question....

How could I go about limiting the menu to only display 1 level of submenus?   I'd like the menu to display all main categories, and allow visitors to navigate only 1 level deep via the menu and then use category buttons from there.

Thanks for your help!

Haven't tested it, but you should be able to change:

$categories_string = tep_make_cat_dmlist();

to:

$categories_string = tep_make_cat_dmlist(0,X);

Where X is the maximum level of categories you want to build...

So how can I modify the width of the Category Box?
Thank you very much.

I forgot to say that I am using the "Tree Type Category", and the width of the Category Box will become wider when the Category names are long, so how can I fix the width of the Category box?
Thank you very much.

I'm using the setting $menu_use_titles=true to display titles for my tree menu items, but it isn't much benefit to my users as the titles are identical to the menu text.  That is, the menu item "Picture Frame" shows a title "Picture Frame" when the mouse pointer is above it.

Is there a way to get these "title" texts pulled from somewhere else?  I have installed the Mod "Header Tags Controller" which allows you to store a page title for each category.  Maybe this could be retrieved?

[idolcemia]

I have another question regarding the operation of Dynamenu:

I'm using the tree menu feature to show my product categories.  When my page first displays, I see for an instant the entire menu, including all collapsed branches.  Then the pages settles down,  showing the menu the way it should be, with collapsed branches hidden.  Is there any way to correct this behavior?

[Dan Coates]

Firstly, great contribution!

Although I do have a slight problem with it, I am using style 1 (the vertical fly out menu), when I put the menu in column_left.php it works fine, i.e. all categories show a small arrow after them and when you hover over them the sub menu flies out. (I included as stated the footer tag in the footer for the page)

But when I place it inside my own template them menu displays, but each category does not have an arrow after it, this only appears when you click the category, also the flyout only happens when you click the category not when you hover over it?

Does anyone have any idea what i've done wrong? and yes I've included the footer tage in my own template as well. All styles and everything work just great, it seems very strange (I am using STS 4 contrib to make my templates) but each template this system generates still includes footer.php from the OSC includes directory which is the same file I use when it works with thedefault template.

Cany anyone help? has anyone here used this contrib in conjunction with STS 4?

Regards

Dan

Hi all

I am using this contribution and all is gret for me but i want to change a little thing. I don't have an image for each subcategory and i would like to remove the link for each category that is not one of the deepiest level.

My categories:

Category1
------ SubCategory1
------ SubCategory2
Category2
------- SubCategory3


I don't want to be able to clik on a Category so the main page is not showing me the current images for the subcategories. But when i click on a subcategory i want the product listing on the main page for that subcategory.

Any clue on how to do that ? (maybe tha's only a condition to add in hte dm_categories.php file but i am an absolute beginner ....)

Thanks a lot
Guillaume

Hi,

This is a sorely-needed and excellent contrib. I was excited when I saw it, but I can't get the flyouts to work.

I'm getting the following Javascript errors with Mozilla:

clearLMTO is not defined.
setLMTO is not defined.
moveLayerX is not defined.

I've followed the instructions and re-installed numerous times. I'm using a clean install of OSC 2.2. Everything seems to check out - the javascript code and libraries are where they should be. The footer shows up in the source. I've included the dynamenu defs in stylesheet.css. I've tried the Venkman debugger to no effect.

I've been at this for hours and have hit a dead end. Is there anything that I'm missing? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

J

Hi OSc community

About Nate contribution, it's absolutely excellent.

Just one question :

I would like that only the head title to appear first in my category box.

When this title is clicked or flown, the categories would dropdown and the subcategories after...

Is it possible in your opinion ? Any idea about the method to use ?
I have been working on it for 3 days now and no idea at all about the way to succeed.

If anyone got some tips, it would be greatly appreciated.

Bye

Hi all,
yet another person praising this fantastic contribution....my question seems to be totally unrealated to everyone elses but here goes...

My category menu is situated in column_right.php and i would really like to use the flyout menu, however it is set for people with their categories on the left of the store.

Is it any easy process to change it so the first submenu comes out towards the left, then the second to the right - basically the opposite to how it is done now?

I just want a mirror image of the code basically...is it that easy? How would i start implementing it?

Thanks in advance.

Donna

I have resolved this. It turns out that I could not access the dynamenu javascript libraries (in ./includes/functions/dynamenu/libjs because of a poorly configured .htaccess flle that someone stuck in the ./includes directory. I changed it back to the original OSCommerce .htaccess and added an AllowOveride directive - all is working fine now...moving on!
