Menu without limit level

[thellie]

hi, i've got it working, and it's exactly what i need... with the exception of permissions.

can some one have a quick look and tell me where i'm going wrong with the following code... i want to permission off certain levels dependent on membergroups, but can't quite work it out... a magnum of gratitude to the first one to help (correctly)

ok, so you can't have if statements inside arrays...

i've added the following in the function setupMenuContext()
   // Set up the menu privileges

Code Select Expand

$context['show_present_volunteers'] = (in_array(1, $user_info['groups']) || in_array(22, $user_info['groups']) || in_array(24, $user_info['groups']));
$context['show_past_volunteers'] = in_array(array(1,22,20), $user_info['groups']);


the first line works fine, but i'd like to tidy it up by having an array, ie second line... but can't get the syntax correct... can anyone help please?

[excaliburj]

Try:

Code Select Expand

$context['show_past_volunteers'] = (count(array_intersect(array(1,22,20), $user_info['groups'])) == 0 ? false : true);

[thellie]

excellent, works a treat

never would have got that on my own...

thanks very much!

[thellie]

just thinking... and i'll try it when i have the stuff i need to do first, done... this should be able to work on other existing menus shouldn't it?

for instance, i'd be interested in having external pages of articles written by volunteers.

so i could extend the articles menu button (came with smf articles), in exactly the same way, and have the href point to my pages...?

------------------------------------
oh, and i never said, but i'm running my forum on 2.0 rc3, and this mod works great

[thellie]

it's working really well on my testing server. i have one issue which is a requested addition to the mod.

can the delay be incorporated into the code somehow (i'd do it myself, but i don't know any javascript, and the stuff i looked at just confused the hell out of me) - i am going to get lots of comments about the menu disappearing as soon as the cursor wanders off the menu, so would love to pre-empt them if possible.

I think it is possible, but depends on the code. I do not know.

That would be very useful. But now I have not time. Maybe in a few months...

Okay so I have some errors showing up on my forums and I think they are related to this mod but can't figure out what the problem is so I'm hoping that somebody can help me out.

SMF 2.0

this is the error I'm getting -  8: Undefined index: href

And these are the two lines of my index.template.php of my custom theme that it is saying the error is coming on

This one I don't think is from the mod but it looks like it could be a related issue

Code Select Expand


<h4><a class="', $button['active_button'] ? 'active ' : '', 'firstlevel" href="', $button['href'], '"', isset($button['target']) ? ' target="' . $button['target'] . '"' : '', '>




This one is from the mod code

Code Select Expand


<a href="', $sbutton['href'], '"', isset($sbutton['target']) ? ' target="' . $sbutton['target'] . '"' : '', '>



I don't remember getting these errors on every page load before the 2.0 upgrade but I could be mistaken.  Any help with this issue would be great, thanks.

[davidhs]

I have not this error in SMF 2.0 forum for test

If you use my MOD, I suppose you have menu multi level. Perhaps problem are in your code when add your new menu items. In SMF 2.0 final you can use integration hooks instead of modify source code of YOUR_FORUM/Sources/Subs.php. You could apply these:

Step 1.- I suppose you have my MOD installed.

Step 2.- You create a new PHP file in YOUR_FORUM/Sources directory. In this file create a function for add your new menu. For example:

Code Select Expand

<?php

if (!defined('SMF'))
die('Hacking attempt...');

function menu_multi_level($buttons)
{
  global $txt; // This line is necesary only if you write text of new menus in $txt vars 

  // In this function you can add, modify or remove items in $buttons array
  //
  // $buttons[] = ... // add new menu
}

?>
In my example I create a file with name Subs-MenuMultiLevel.php and source code:

Code Select Expand

<?php

if (!defined('SMF'))
die('Hacking attempt...');

// Adds my menu multi level between Home and Help
function menu_multi_level($buttons)
{
$buttons2 = $buttons;
$buttons = array();
foreach ($buttons2 as $i => $b)
{
$buttons[$i] = $b;
if ('home' == $i)
{
$buttons['m0'] = array(
'title' => 'Menu multi-level',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
'm1' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 1 - level 1',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
'm11' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 1.1 - level 2',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
'm111' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 1.1.1 - level 3',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
),
'm112' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 1.1.2 - level 3',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
),
),
),

'm12' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 1.2 - level 2',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
'm121' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 1.2.1 - level 3',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
),
'm122' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 1.2.2 - level 3',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
),
),
),

'm13' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 1.3 - level 2',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
),
),
),

'm2' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 2 - level 1',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
'm21' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 2.1 - level 2',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
),
'm22' => array(
'title' => 'Submenu 2.2 - level 2',
'href' => '',
'show' => true,
),
),
),

),
);


}
}

}

?>

Step 3.- Add two lines in YOUR_FORUM/Sources/Load.php file, in line 282:

Code Select Expand

<?php

// Integration is cool.
if (defined('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS'))
{
$integration_settings = unserialize(SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS);
foreach ($integration_settings as $hook => $function)
add_integration_function($hook, $function, false);
}

// NEW LINES
// Add access to new function
add_integration_function('integrate_menu_buttons', 'menu_multi_level', false);
// Include new file
add_integration_function('integrate_pre_include', '$boarddir/Sources/Subs-MenuMultiLevel.php', false);
// END NEW LINES

// Any files to pre include?
if (!empty($modSettings['integrate_pre_include']))

?>

If do not work you can write in other post the source code of your menu items, and I could see if you have mistakes.

Okay so I found the problem after doing a Google search.  My issue was that I had some buttons that I didn't put a 'href' in there because I didn't want it to be clickable.  The solution was to just do 'href' => '#', for each of those buttons.  Thought this might help for anybody that gets the same issue.

Great mod. Just what I needed. Now I got a fully equipped, drop down forum menu.

[Zirc]

I was wondering if somebody could help me out with this, should be an easy fix but I don't know how to do it.  When I am in the Admin section of the forums and I hover over a button that has a drop down the menu goes behind the admin buttons (see attached image) How can I fix this so the menu goes above the Admin buttons?

Thanks

Now I can not see source code of SMF for test but... perhaps if you modify css file of your theme or default theme

line 1107 (in 2.0 RC5) /* Styles for the standard dropdown menus.
and next

I'm still having this problem and it's annoying so I'm attaching my index.css for the theme on the site in hopes that somebody can help.  Lines 4025 thru 4207 are the styles for the main navigation bar (the one whose dropdowns are going behind the adm_container).  I've tried adjusting the z-index of many different things and nothing seems to work so I'm back here looking for pointers.

I think I solve your problem . I copy your index.css in default theme of 2.0 forum and I have corrected it.

The problem is your theme (my MOD does not change anything important).

You must make changes to the file index.css. Line 3923

Code Select Expand

.dropmenu li ul
{
z-index: 200; // line 3923
replace by

Code Select Expand

.dropmenu li ul
{
z-index: 90; // line 3923

I suppouse this is all, but perhaps you need delete lines 3906 and 3918
