CMS Made Simple Forums

Tips and Tricks  OK
how about an image map menu with links generated from your pages,, you just need an image to relate it to. I hacked 1 of the bullet menus.

BTW the one at the bottom of the content is a small hand coded one I only needed it to be limited to 3 things and don't know any js coding to limit the search string to look at only 1 set of pages.

How did you do this?  Can you post the details?

Very, very nice way to create an image flip menu indeed 
Willing to share, or is this one for the tricks section?

Hmm, almost forgot that's what webservers do... sharing things
See it's a static image in a div with a css position flip... pretty cool. How compatible is this?

Did spot some weird typo's in your CSS BTW 

/* set the size of the definition list and add the background image */
#imap {
  display:block;
  width:149px;
  height:394px;
  ackground: url(uploads/images/mainmenu.jpg) no-repeat;
  position:relative;
  }

/* the hack for IE pre IE6 */
* html #imap a#title {
  height:240px;
  he\ight:0;
  }

That's not a typo i did that because the image was not showing up, i had to put it in the color CSS as background for the box that imap is in just never cleaned it up  ,,
i have no problem with sharing,, i'm using dt's, dl's, dd's, and it works cross browser, you can find a tutoriol(sp?) at http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/Image_menu.html it uses ul, li, so it fits in with the menu system w/o the hacks that i used on the menu .js file,, i did mine before i found that ^ tut.

Thnx for the link, I'm trying it out right now. I meant the "ackground" and the "he\ight"...

ackground,,, becauce i didn't want to comment it out or delete it,,
2nd is a hack to fool IE,, i didn't do that.

You could also use bulletmenu and then use Image-Replacement. Haven't tried it with CMS made simple yet, but I did it for a voice-over professional website.
