How do you make the parent menu unclickable? <SOLVED>

<< < (2/6) > >>

Stefek:
Does your menu work this way at all?  :-D

OK, here is a link for study for you.

http://code.jellycan.com/files/show_menu2-README.txt


And here is the code for the $aItemOpen parameter:

'[ li][if(level==0){<span>[menu_title]</span>}else{<a href="[url]"><span>[menu_title]</span></a>}]'

all together your show_menu2 parameter call should look like this:

[/list]
--- Code: --- <?php 
                show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT, SM2_ALL, SM2_ALL, 
                &#39;[li][if(LEVEL==0){<span>[menu_title]</span>}else{<a href="[url]"><span>[menu_title]</span></a>}]&#39;, //$aItemOpen 
                "\n</li>", 
                false, 
                false, 
                false, 
                &#39;<ul id="header_menu" class="menu">&#39;); 
                ?>

--- End code ---

Also look at this example on the linked page (above link):


--- Code: ---<?php
show_menu2(
        $aMenu          = 0,
        $aStart         = SM2_ROOT,
        $aMaxLevel      = SM2_CURR+1,
        $aOptions       = SM2_TRIM,
/* the next two lines have to do with the LINKS */
        $aItemOpen      = &#39;[li][a][menu_title]</a>&#39;,
        $aItemClose     = &#39;</li>&#39;,
/* the next two lines have to do with the Menu and Submenu Structure*/
        $aMenuOpen      = &#39;[ul]&#39;,
        $aMenuClose     = &#39;</ul>&#39;,

        $aTopItemOpen   = false,

        $aTopMenuOpen   = false
        );
?>


--- End code ---

Regards and lots of fun!

link:  external link > then I put in the websites home page.

This allows you to still have a drop down menu with the links but having the parent as a link to main-site and not opening up a new page, which I wanted to happen.

That's unlogical and not user friendly. Clicking on a parent menu item brings you back to the homepage? That will feel like a bug to users. You should link to the first child page, or use stefeks info above.

tsb:
I had a go with the showmenus item open, yet Im using the css2 dropdown menu, and it doesnt seem to bring that element in when I put it into the templates index.php

Im not a very logical person  :-) more used to the creative side of things, so struggling to find the method with css and the functions in showmenu. I might link to the first child page that you mentioned.

Thanks for all the feedback and possibilities,

cheers,

Oh yes, the CSS is another side if the menu.
But did you try the code? And was your Items unclickable then?

tsb:
sorry Stefan, I couldn't get it to work in my index.php file.

The menu in allcss2 template just breaks the dropdown menu, when I tried out both of the codes.

Im just not up on the coding side. cheers,
