CSSMenu: The ultimate CSS only PHPLayers replacement!

[Redguy]

the horizontal function is working but I get the same error as angels...

Warning: vsprintf() [function.vsprintf]: Too few arguments in W:\home\admin\WWW\cmsmadesimple\lib\classes\class.module.inc.php on line 1529

dem this is a smooth menu:)

the testsite is working fine with Opera 8.0, Netscape 7.1, Firefox 1.0.6, IE 6 SP1...

Nice Job

This is great.  Now that the main CSS is figured out, I'll probably take the code and put it into the CMS codebase.  Might have a tweak a few things, but most of the heavy lifting is done, which is great.

Thanks again.  I'll let you know when I get something together.

Weird, I didn't get any errors when I tested it...

Maybe this is something whishy should look into...

Wondering, that there is now HELP-Text available with CSS-Menu:

have a look here:
(or do I make a mistake?)

Looks really really great!! Could anyone with mac test the horisontal menu with IE 5 and safari please?

[Ted]

Umm?  I must be really slow.  Where is the download for 1.1.6?

[Ted]

Yup.  I am.

CSSMenu is looking good.  I cleaned up a few bugs and am thinking of committing it to the svn repository.  However, I have a thought.

Instead of making people go into the file system and change the actual CSS files, how about this instead?

I make an admin section for the CSSMenu.  In that section, we have 2 tabs.  One for each css file.  All those tabs do is display what is in the css files.  It doesn't allow for editing or anything.

If someone wants to tweak the menu, they copy the section of the CSS that they need out of the textbox, and paste it into their template or stylesheet or whatever.  Since the css of the menu is being spit out first, the modifed css in your template/stylesheet will cascade over the default stuff.

This should keep eveyrthing flexible.

Thoughts?

Wishy that is exactly what I have been doing, leaving the base CSS code alone and adding the selectors to the stylesheet associated with each template.
The advantage of your suggestion would be that I could view the base CSS code direct from CMSMS admin, great idea.

[ljbadenz]

I noticed the mising help too... but I didn't have the time to track the problem down...
whishy should be able to fix it...

anyway about the css, here is my suggestion, we get rid of the horizontal=1 option, and instead have a class=... option so people can have more than one menu with different styles... then if they want horizontal they just copy paste the cssmenu-horizontal styles and set class='cssmenu-horizontal' I beleive this would create great flexibility for people using the menus.

They can playwith it and make just how they want it! (they could even have dropups instead of dropdowns)

[Redguy]

I think it's essential that people can edit the CSS inside CMSMS,.. so Wishy's idea is good... but I like the flexability in ljbadenz idea.... could we clash those two ideas together somehow?

[Ted]

The problem with that is that it doesn't work out of the box.  Ok, what about this?  We have the horizontal and the class option.  If the class option is given, then it basically will ignore horizontal.  This way if they want to get creative, they can copy the whole css, change the class and be done with it.

How's that for a combination?

Or a simple checkbox that says "Use own CSS"?

Also, if you're going to provide CSS then please, please use ID="horizontal" or "vertical" rather than classes. ID takes precedence and allows for more functionality within the or list.

Am I correct in assuming that the functionality provided here above and beyond that of bulletmenu is flyout menus? I've not installed it yet but am avidly following the thread. Are there other benefits, apart from the obvious CMS admin integration?

[ljbadenz]

the poblem with using the "id" tag is that the javascript looks for "primary-nav"...

you could use the id tag - primary-nav and then just change the css for either horizontal or vertical but that may be confusing to beginners
