Author Topic: Template with top and side menu but independant each other (Read 16518 times)

midiweb · « **on:** March 02, 2008, 10:37:49 PM »

Hello, I'm looking for a template with top menu and side menu but not each other dependant, a very simple template, I don't find it.
For instance, I 'd have at the top: HOME-PRODUCTS-CONTACT-ABOUT US
On the left side: CLIENTS-MANAGEMENT-CATEGORIES,...
When I click on PRODUCCTS the corresponding content is diplayed in the middle of the page but the items in the menus stay unchanged both left and at the top.

You need to create multiple menu's.

There is a good explanation here: http://help.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/en/advanced-docu/designer-guide/multiple-menus.php

Cheers

Where have i to change the code, in CSS or in .php?

Thanks for support

Ruud · « **Reply #3 on:** March 07, 2008, 11:30:55 PM »

You have to use both.

Mainly the CSS will be responsible for creating the menu horizontal or vertical, but you will need more parameters in the php code also.

I would advise you to install some templates from the addons and look in the CSS/PHP how things are done.

This one (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/lorem-ipsum.php?template=industry1) is a nice one to start with.
Simple and uses both menu's. (root menu horizontal, sub menu's vertical)

Good luck

midiweb · « **Reply #4 on:** March 07, 2008, 11:40:36 PM »

I think first here in the css:

Code: [Select]

.footer {
    background-color: #DDDDDD;
    text-align: right;
    font-size: 10px;
    height: 10px;
}

because when I replace

Code: [Select]

text-align: center;
with

Code: [Select]

text-align: right;
my items are displayed right and not in the middle.

I need a little thing to change the direction, so

Code: [Select]

Home-Contact-about us,... and not

Code: [Select]

Home
Contact
About us

....

But why is it called "footer" when the items are at the head, why not "Header"

I am pretty sure the .footer part was originally meant for the footer. Not for the menu's.
You are using the "simple" template. That one has no horizontal menu in it's CSS.

Try to install (and activate) the template I suggested, and modify that one to start with.

Add in the info.php these two lines:

Code: [Select]

$menu[1]    = 'Main navigation';
$menu[2]    = 'Top navigation';

(don't forget to set the "multiple menus" in the advanced settings page)

Modify in index.php line 55 from

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu2(1, SM2_ROOT+1, SM2_CURR+1); ?>into

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu2(2,0,1); ?>And you might see some result you like.

midiweb · « **Reply #6 on:** March 09, 2008, 05:03:18 PM »

Thanks. I made the changes but I got the error message:

Code: [Select]

Fatal error: Call to undefined function show_menu2() in /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/wb/templates/industry1/index.php on line 55

marathoner · « **Reply #7 on:** March 09, 2008, 06:11:07 PM »

Do you have show_menu2 installed? If not, install it from the addon library.

midiweb · « **Reply #8 on:** March 10, 2008, 01:57:15 PM »

I installed the templates "industry1".
The index.php shows:

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu(1,0,1,true,&#39;<li><span[class]>[a][menu_title] [/a]</span>&#39;,&#39;</li>&#39;,&#39;<ul id="nav">&#39;); ?>

and

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu2(2,0,1); ?>
I don't find the module show_menu2 in the library.

The page ist not entirely displayed but only the half!

When I change

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu2(2,0,1); ?> in

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu(2,0,1); ?>, the whole page is dsplayed but the top menu is highlighted with grey background.

And the error message is not there yet. Something is bugged is this template or in WebsiteBaker.

hello,

install the code snippet show_menu2 from the WB Addons repository. Then try again.

Regards Christian

midiweb · « **Reply #10 on:** March 10, 2008, 02:09:42 PM »

sorry, I was lazy, I've just found it in the repository. Thansk again. I try it immediately ands send feed back

midiweb · « **Reply #11 on:** March 10, 2008, 02:25:01 PM »

Great! it works but in the backend options Main Navigation becomes Top Navigation (or what??
And I have to set up the same langages for each menu items like the backend is otherwise I don't see the items different from the installed language. Curious!!

midiweb · « **Reply #12 on:** March 10, 2008, 02:49:47 PM »

I cannot find how can I add an item in "Latest News" and display it.
It would be very pratical to have the same window as the other items,...

Not exactly sure what your question is. If you want to put put some news on a certain page (such as your home page) you can use the NewsAnywhere snippet. You can customize the output to meet your formating needs.
