Menu with one step without links

[viiksi]

Hello,

Heres a little explaining.

root
-level1
-level1
---level2 (Not link)
-----level3
---level2 (Not link)
-----level3
-----level3
-level1

Heres what i have at the moment.
<?php show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT+1, SM2_ALL, SM2_ALL, false,"\n</li>", false, false, false, '<ul id="header_menu" class="menu">'); ?>

In this i make links that starts from level1. (root level shows elsewhere)
What i want is Level2 to be only text and not linkable row but still should open Level3 onmouseover. And of course level3 should be links again

Not sure if i explained this easy enough

Could there be some css code that would make level2 not linking to that page.

You can use just sm2 for this.

See documentation and the topic on conditionals
Pseudocode: [if level=n {nolink} else {link} ]

Thanks for fast answer.

I read the documentation many times allready even before this
But in that document there is no {nolink} option at all.

i still dont get it where in that line to put your code.

it was just a "pseudo code".

Please read the opic on conditionals, as I said before:
http://code.google.com/p/showmenu2/source/browse/tags/4.9/README.en.txt#463

What you'll need is something like

...
      $aItemOpen      = '[if level=2 {<li>[menu_title]} else {<li>[a][menu_title]</a>}]',
...

...
      $aItemOpen      = '[if level=2 {<li>[menu_title]} else {<li>[a][menu_title]</a>}]',
...

this solution is ok. But unfortunately  hardcoded to a special level. Softcoded it can look like that:

Code: [Select]

     $aItemOpen =>>    '[if target==_self {<li>[menu_title]} else {<li>[a][menu_title]</a>}]',

it's a bit tricky use of Target. For 'normal' pages you can use the target '_top' for 'break frameset' and '_blank' for an external link. If you choose '_self' so the menu_title is displayed without a link.

ps @stefek:: compare by  == instead of = then it works.. 

[viiksi]

it was just a "pseudo code".

I really have to confess that i had to use wikipedia even to check what "pseudo code" means

As you might notice now im not good at coding.

But yes now we are on right track.

I will bang my head to wall tonight to get this work.

 ps. For this solution hardcoded works very well since its never going to be changed afterwards.

Too confusing..
It's the same as using  Keywords for unique titles in the menu

ps @stefek:: compare by  == instead of = then it works.. 

Of course, just on the fly, no testing..

Well thanks for you both.
I know finally understand what those false words even means on that code

It was good that you didnt tell me right solution straightaway so i had to think.

I had to do some modification to the code so it started to work.

...
      $aItemOpen      = '[if level=2 {<li>[menu_title]} else {<li>[a][menu_title]</a>}]',
...

to '[if(level=2) {<...

Yes great,
mostly like people using their own brains 

Glad you got it working.

Hi Guy's I'm trying to do the same. But get code printing to the screen. Would you tell me what i'm doing wrong please?

      <?php show_menu2(1, SM2_ROOT, SM2_ALL, SM2_ALL, '[iflevel=1{<li>[menu_title]}else{<li>[a][menu_title]</a>}]', "\n</li>", false, false, false, '<ul id="header_menu" class="menu">'); ?>

Thanks in advance.

I just can't seem to get this working.

I'm replacing

Code: [Select]

$aItemOpen      = false,
with

Code: [Select]

$aItemOpen      = '[if level=2 {<li>[menu_title]} else {<li>[a][menu_title]</a>}]',
But does not work. Am I doing something wrong?


Thanks

[jacobi22]

missing the () arround the question  -> if (level=2)

Code: [Select]

$aItemOpen      = '[if (level=2) {<li>[menu_title]} else {<li>[a][menu_title]</a>}]',

[daydreamer]

Thanks but still does nothing at all 

[daydreamer]

Is it right adding it in modules/showmenu2.includes.php ?

[jacobi22]

Is it right adding it in modules/showmenu2.includes.php ?

no, thats a part from the show_menu2() call in your template index.php

as eample from my actual project
this show_menu2 remove the URL and set only a #, if this menu point has subpages - [if(class==menu-expand)
and it set the class "down" for all menu points in the first level  [if(level=1){down}]

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu2(
                        $aMenu          = 1,
                        $aStart         = SM2_ROOT+1,
                        $aMaxLevel      = SM2_ALL,
                        $aOptions       = SM2_ALL|SM2_CURRTREE|SM2_PRETTY,
                        $aItemOpen      = '<li class="[class]"><a href="[if(class==menu-expand){#}][if(class!=menu-expand){[url]}]" class="[class] p[page_id] [if(level=1){down}]" title="[menu_title]">[menu_title]</a>',
                        $aItemClose     = '</li>',
                        $aMenuOpen      = '<ul>',
                        $aMenuClose     = '</ul>',
                        $aTopItemOpen   = false,
                        $aTopMenuOpen   = '<ul class="nav" id="dropline">'
        ); ?>

I'm no coder at all, I am using this in my template index.php

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu2(1, SM2_ROOT, SM2_ALL, SM2_ALL|SM2_NUMCLASS|SM2_PRETTY, false, false); ?>

[jacobi22]

try this

shoes no Links in Level 2, only the menu_title
(remember , WB starts in LEVEL 0 (zero)

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu2(
                        $aMenu          = 1,
                        $aStart         = SM2_ROOT,
                        $aMaxLevel      = SM2_ALL,
                        $aOptions       = SM2_ALL|SM2_NUMCLASS|SM2_PRETTY,
                        $aItemOpen      = '<li class="[class]"><a href="[if (level=2) {<li>[menu_title]} else {<li>[a][menu_title]</a>}]'" title="[menu_title]">[menu_title]</a>',
                        $aItemClose     = '</li>',
                        $aMenuOpen      = '<ul>',
                        $aMenuClose     = '</ul>',
                        $aTopItemOpen   = false,
                        $aTopMenuOpen   = '<ul>'
        ); ?>
if you need Level 0 or Level 1 without Links, change the Line $aItemOpen  at this point -> if (level=2)

Thanks but that code is throwing an error

[nibz]

I think the problem is a little typo.

Try this:

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu2(
                        $aMenu          = 1,
                        $aStart         = SM2_ROOT,
                        $aMaxLevel      = SM2_ALL,
                        $aOptions       = SM2_ALL|SM2_NUMCLASS|SM2_PRETTY,
                        $aItemOpen      = '<li class="[class]"><a href="[if (level=2) {<li>[menu_title]} else {<li>[a][menu_title]</a>}]" title="[menu_title]">[menu_title]</a>',
                        $aItemClose     = '</li>',
                        $aMenuOpen      = '<ul>',
                        $aMenuClose     = '</ul>',
                        $aTopItemOpen   = false,
                        $aTopMenuOpen   = '<ul>'
        ); ?>

Thanks but that code is throwing an error

sorry 

[nibz]

Thanks but that code is throwing an error

sorry 

Can happen to anyone
There was an extra ' after {<li>[a][menu_title]</a>}]'
The code formatting of the forum pointed me to the right direction (your php closing tag was red instead of blue)

Hope with this correction daydreamer has what he/she is looking for.

i copy the code from my project and change it here with daydreamers code from the top - one char to much  

p.s. thanks for repairing 

[daydreamer]

" title="About">About
Contact
" title="Contact">Contact

http://localhost/%3Cli%3E%3Ca%20href=

[jacobi22]

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu2(
                        $aMenu          = 1,
                        $aStart         = SM2_ROOT,
                        $aMaxLevel      = SM2_ALL,
                        $aOptions       = SM2_ALL|SM2_NUMCLASS|SM2_PRETTY,
                        $aItemOpen      = '<li class="[class]">[if (level=2){[menu_title]}else{<a href="[url]" class="[class]" title="[menu_title]">[menu_title]</a>}]',
                        $aItemClose     = '</li>',
                        $aMenuOpen      = '<ul>',
                        $aMenuClose     = '</ul>',
                        $aTopItemOpen   = false,
                        $aTopMenuOpen   = '<ul>'
        ); ?>
maybe you dont need the automatic css-class in the li-Tag here <li class="[class]">
feel free to cut this to a simpla <li>

[daydreamer]

Thanks so much for your help, works exactly as I need it with

Code: [Select]

$aItemOpen      = '<li><a href="[if(class==menu-expand){#}][if(class!=menu-expand){[url]}]" class="[class] p[page_id] [if(level=1){down}]" title="[menu_title]">[menu_title]</a>',
