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.

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.

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');

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.

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.
