[WIP] Menu Editor

[hadesflames]

or Labradoodle could just create his mod which is supposed to be so awesome with a top menu and everything. If he truly could do it, I don't see why Dream Menu is stopping him

Is that supposed to be insulting hades?

To be quite honest, the reason I have halted development is because I see DreamMenu as a pretty good way of making menu's Because it is. I don't like duplicating features, and I don't see that much of a reason to create a mod solely for creating top menu's.

When my schedule is so busy, and I am honestly trying to be on for less, not more. I have more important things to do than write mods when a good alternative already exists.

It's not a problem of whether "I could" or not. I already have a beta of a top menu editor done, I just don't have the time or will right now to finish the beta to make it stable enough for a mod.

hadesflames: smp's top menu works on my site with the custom themes. if he would expand for more than 5 links...

[hadesflames]

It does the exact same custom edit to the templates I had in mind. It won't necessarily work on all custom themes, just the ones that are curve copies (sure that's most of them, but I dislike it none the less)

Does that mean 5 levels deep..? lol, I would really hate such a site, at the most I can cope with 3, as SMF now supports, but not 4-5.

Isn't "Dream menu" a part of DreamPortal..? If so, it will still needed a menu editor for the ones not using it. And tbh, if any portal were to add a menu editor to its features, I would expect it to be much more tailored to the portal features, the categories/pages etc. in a easy manner. Not necessarily shuffle around the SMF menu items so much, although that would be needed to.

Well dream menu doesn't do as much as I need so I'll keep mine hardcoded until I get my mod done if I actually get a chance.

What does you want it to do?
There is more coming for Dream Menu so keep your eyes peeled.

Oh I will. The less work I have to do the better
The things I would like it to do is stuff that would make it less simple so you wouldn't want it added anyway I don't think. I just don't want to go into details, too tired :p

[Robbo_]

What is the top menu you are talking about? I am confused...

[hadesflames]

Yes Dream Menu is a part of Dream Portal, but I also made a stand alone version for those who might need it, but not want Dream Portal itself. As for the top menu, it like the menu here on SM.org at the top right (Home, Community, Download etc...)

[Robbo_]

Ah ok. I was thinking that might be it.

For now, I am going to lock this thread. If and when I decide to make a mod for my top menu editor, or even continue this mods development, I will unlock it.
