Bulletmenu WITHOUT bullets?

Alex_Leipzig · Post by **Alex_Leipzig** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 11:34 am

Hi all,

I really do like CMS more everyday. But I have a question concerning the {bulletmenu}-Plug-In. It's perfect for what I wanna do, but I need it WITHOUT bullets, as a pure, clean text-menu, that I can change with CSS. I couldn't remove the bullets using CSS, so I guess I'll have to modify the plug-in itself. Can anybody help?

Thanks!
Alex

This is what I use on cmsmadesimple.org. Copy this into plugins/function.simplemenu.php:

Code: Select all

Then use it as {simplemenu} in your template/content. Keep in mind, that I'm not sure how it handles multiple levels, but it works wonderful for a 1 level menu.

Lemme know how it works for you. Thanks.

What does this do?
Prints a bullet menu.
How do I use it?
Just insert the tag into your template/page like: {simplemenu}
What parameters does it take?

(optional) showadmin - 1/0, whether you want to show or not the admin link.
(optional) start_element - the hierarchy of your element (ie : 1.2 or 3.5.1 for example). This parameter sets the root of the menu.
(optional) number_of_levels - an integer, the number of levels you want to show in your menu.

Change History:
None

Now I can use CSS to style the menu like the examples on Maxdesign

Greg · Post by **Greg** » Tue Jan 18, 2005 1:47 am

Here is some CSS to go with this menu

.simplemenu { width: 140px; }
.simplemenu .sectionheader{
width: 140px;
margin: 0;
padding: 3px 10px 3 px 3px;
background-color: #aa0000;
color: #fff;
}
.simplemenu ul
{
margin: 0;
padding-left: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.simplemenu a
{
display: block;
padding: 3px 3px 3px 10px;
width: 140px;
background-color: #036;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
}

.simplemenu a:link, .simplemenu a:visited
{
color: #EEE;
text-decoration: none;
}

.simplemenu a:hover
{
background-color: #369;
color: #fff;
}

Hello all,

thank you so much. I'm gonna try it all out right away.

Alex

Alex_Leipzig · Post by **Alex_Leipzig** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 10:18 am

Hello wishy,

thanx for the script, but I also got the error message.

@Greg: like your script too, but you brought the bullets back in, that I wanted out. What should I do? Can someone fix Wishy's script?

Ted · Post by **Ted** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 10:30 am

What's the error message?

Alex_Leipzig · Post by **Alex_Leipzig** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 11:07 am

Sorry, forgot to include it. Here's the message:

Parse error: parse error in /data/homewww/isuew/webdir/cms/plugins/function.simplemenu.php on line 127

Warning: Smarty error: [in db:1 line 49]: syntax error: custom function 'simplemenu' is not implemented (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 779) in /data/homewww/isuew/webdir/cms/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

Underneath, the page would still show, but without the menu...[/quote]

Greg · Post by **Greg** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 2:12 pm

You can use CSS to eliminate the bullets just set the margin and padding to 0 in the .simplemenu ul class

Greg · Post by **Greg** » Wed Jan 26, 2005 6:05 pm

I've got the code for switchmenu working on my local setup using the javascript from here:
getElemenybyID

and a modified simplemenu by wishy.

However, the template still loads the PHPLayers menu javascript files

layersmenu-browser_detection.js
layersmenu-library.js
layersmenu.js

This causes javascript errors as numl is not defined.

Is there any way to eliminate the loading of the PHPLayers javascript?

Ted · Post by **Ted** » Wed Jan 26, 2005 6:22 pm

Uninstall it or make it inactive

Greg · Post by **Greg** » Wed Jan 26, 2005 7:14 pm

Any other ways ?

I wanted to use both menus on the website (different pages of course).

We always want everything to work together

Maybe I'll have to define the variables in the switchmenu javascript that cause the errors.

The menu functions fine - just shows javascripts that relate to phplayers javascript code.

Wishy, don't spend any time on this as it is no big deal!

Ted · Post by **Ted** » Wed Jan 26, 2005 7:26 pm

There is probably not going to be a way to do that until I get around to writing the template parser needed for multiple content types. In other words, not anytime soon.
