bulletmenu and sublist

[marties]

Hi,

i need some help to finish my menu using the bulletmenu plugin, it consists of one main list plus a submenu.

1 - if click on a submenu, i want the main menu and the submenu selected how do i do this ? I know it has something to do with $depth and maybe $curpos

2 - at the end of the lists there is a pipe, how do i know it is the last item to make it disappear ?  I created a class  #bulletmenu li.last {background-image:none;}  i just have make the   but i don't know how

Thanks in advance

Try setting show_root_siblings=1 in your definition to solve #1.

marties,

I almost had the same problem and did some modifications inside the bulletmenu-code so that the activated menu-items no longer remain links but plain-text. It's a hack but I can post the modifications here if wishy's instructions don't match what you've been looking for.

Nils

Thanks i'll check this out soon, for the point 2 i'm still interested with your bulletmenu-code hack ; i know a solution for the pipe menu  http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/horizontal32.htm but the pipe will be the same color as the text link

Thanks for the answer.

show_root_siblings is not running on my bulletmenu version (1.0) , i run cms 0.9.2 version and my bulletmenu, after checking on the beta version (0.10beta3) it seems you upgraded the bulletmenu (you forgot to increment the version!) i'm gonna try the new bulletmenu with my old cms version since it's definetely not recommended to use the beta for a production site ? (even beta3 )

Thanks again for your helpfull

This hack is just for 0.10beta2 ... which I am using as a production version (but maybe I will upgrade to 0.10beta3 and then ... whatever). Hope it helps. I put most of the elements into comments since I prefer not to use them as they are not needed in most cases. Here's the code:

Code: Select all

Furthermore you will need to create CSS-entries (subNav01, subNav02, ...) that you are going to use. There are several great articles out there (try Listamatic maybe) that deal with unordered lists for navigation purpose and their styling.

For some reason the solution to my multiple menu problem has been under my nose the whole time. Why didn't anybody tell me that you could use multiple isntances of {bulletmenu}!!

Anyway, I have now locked my primary bulletmenu to 2 deep and then include the bulletmenu tag in pages deeper than 2 from root (e.g. 2.1.1) with the start_element set for that menu item.

The only problem is that it also displays the current page's link in the list. Can this be hidden any way?

[jah]

Try:

.currentpage
{
display: none;
}

[iNSiPiD]

I've already given that class bold styling for the main side navigation.

Perhaps I can apply an li style to a new ID for that content area as the current page is in a parent list.

#menu2 li { display: none; }
#menu2 li { display: inline; }
