I agree.  bulletmenu really is a better choice for anyone who wants control over their site.  Before 1.0, I'm going to try and make that the default menu choice instead of phplayers, as I really don't like phplayers AT ALL.  It does the job, but it does it all wrong in my opinion.

Excellent !! PHPLayers is a very complex solution to providing a menu system. Menu systems are a lot like WYSIWYG editors... They all have quirks and don't function as advertised in the diversity of environments we have !

so what is the best suggestion for people who want to display a lot of links in their menu with submenus without having a long list of links on their site? e.g. drop down menu or something?
I have used phplayers but i was worried about the accessibility issues.

LayersMenu Error: setTpldir: d:\aaaweb\cms\modules\PHPLayers\phplayers/d:\aaaweb\cms\modules\PHPLayers/phplayers/templates/ is not a directory.
Halted

That is the same error i get everytime

miss d bus: you could use bulletmenu with collapse=1. The drawback is that you actually have to click a parent to see the children.

I'm testing another menusystem Flexmenu and it looks good:

FlexMenu.PHP


FlexMenu. PHP features


FlexMenu Object - horizontal or vertical orientation of FlexMenu.
Hierarchical Highlighting - The parent items remain highlighted while the nested menu groups expand.
Written PHP – Open Source language).
Cross-Browser Support - Automatically detects and renders a tailored DHTML menu for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 - 6, Netscape Navigator 4 – 7, Opera 5,6 and Mozilla/Gecko based browsers run on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Cost – it is totally FREE!!!

jah: ok thanks for that. I will have a play with it and see how it works.

PHPLayers in todays daily does not work.

But change the code in phplayers.module.php as follow and it works !!

Code: Select all

//$mid->setTpldir(dirname(__FILE__).'/phplayers/templates/');
$mid->setTpldir('templates');

[jah]

piratos: I do not see any submenus ?

[piratos]

Jah: so it works fine, i see all and this is the first time i can it install with linux  - all works. Seems nearly by the final release.

[Greg]

piratos thanks for your fix

//$mid->setTpldir(dirname(__FILE__).'/phplayers/templates/');
$mid->setTpldir('templates');

Works so that I now get a page display, however,
I only see the Home Link - no submenu at all.

[piratos]

Oh Oh  local windows and local linux all is ok - their i have the lates versions of php, mysql and apache.

But on the webserver  with older versions php 4.3.1 , Apache 2 and mysql 3.23.49  SQL - Errors comes and no tables are installed - shit.

[Greg]

Changeset 1736 eliminates the basic phplayers error and the page renders, however the submenu's are not showing, only the Home link shows up in the phplayers menu. Also all the smarty tags need the parameters changed to ' from " as piratos indicated in other posts.

[Ted]

I don't understand...  smarty hasn't been touched.
