Title: Date on Form & Menu Question
Post by: Underware on April 13, 2008, 11:45:54 PM
How do I make an input date (date - month - year) select box in one line on forms ?

Also, if i have a parent menu with it's childs, when i clicked on the parent menu, i only want to  see the childs menu without refreshing page, is that possible? What I did is make a blank page on the parent, but this is ridiculous, since it only show blank page only to see child menu.


Just a stupid question, this emoticon :mrgreen: what tha heck is this?  :-D

Hello,

1.)There is no builtin function for a Date in the form modul. But you can try it to make with three dropdown fields. One for the day (1 - 31), one for the month (1-12 or monthnames), one for the year (2008, 2009, .....).

2.)This can be done with the Menu-Link modul. Simply change the type of parent page from WYSIWYG to Menu-Link and choose as target the child page. (If you use WB 2.6.7, the menu-link is buggy, so we recommand to upgrade to WB 2.7)

Thx for the reply.

But if i did what you told me, if i click the parent child, it'll  open the child.

Menu A
   Menu Child 1
   Menu Child 2
   Menu Child 3

What i want is, when i click Menu A, only  opening Menus let the user choose the option of Child Menu, not seeing the blank page of Menu A or Menu link target child page. What you told me is as if i clicked on say Menu Child 1. Is that possible?

About date on forms, I guess I have to modified myself, and upload it here if I'm finished.

Hello,

don't undersrtand really what you want. Is it

1.) if you click on Menu A, menu A page has a content and you only wanna see the Child pages in the menu? Then this can be done with adapting the menu call. Read our docu on the help page for the Parameters.

2.) if you click on Menu A and Menu A should be a page without content then the above menu-link solution should be you choice. But as "no content" could not be diplayed you see the menu-child1 (or whatever page as target you hav choosen) as content in the frontend.

Menu A doesn't have a content, but has child pages. Let say a user is navigating from Menu B (same level with Menu A and have a content). When a user click on Menu A (which doesn't have a content) is only seeing page from menu B and opening child pages of Menu A. Is that possible. I have a menutree which behave like that, but have not time to implement it on WB... :D

Hello,

What you want is not possible, not logical and makes not really sense. Why should there be a link to a page wich has no content?

I have rooms with names.

Menu goes like this:
-Home
-Accomodation (has no content)
   -Bungalows (has no content)
     - Pinus (has content)
     - Saninten (has content)
   -Rooms  (has no content)
     - Rasamala (content of rasamala room)
     - Puspa (content of Puspa room)
     - Pari (content)
-Package
-Contact Us

Right now I'm forced to put the content (summary of the child pages).
That's what I meant. I guess i have to modify the menu with menu tree, if that's not possible with WB's menu system.

For the menu items with no content you can use a "Menu Link" type of page.
Point the menu-link to the page you want to be displayed.

-Accomodation -> /accomodation/bungalows/pinus
 -Bungalows -> /bungalows/pinus
  -
 -Rooms -> /accomodation/rooms/rasmala
  -

Note that you not include the /pages and .php parts of the page you want to display.

Clicking on Accomodation or Bungalows will directly show the Pinus page
Clicking on Rooms will show the Rasmala page
