Lazy Admin Menu

[dougiefresh]

No worries.... I have 160 mods installed, and it might go up some....

Woah! Without overlapping function is nice

[NekoJonez]

Well, I thought my 70 mods where too many.

[dougiefresh]

Yeah....  Took some tweaking in order for everything to install, but yeah....  it's nice...  Almost where I want it....

Uploaded v1.13 - January 6th, 2014
o Added code to deal with already loaded strings in a lot of unrelated mods....

This is a really nice mod - thanks.  I'm running 2.0.9 and of course am running themes (Blue Shame, OverveiwLight, Core, curve and LightHat).  I was running 1.8 until last night when I uninstalled it and installed 1.13.
The mod works great on all but one theme - BlueShame by SMFTricks (http://smftricks.com/index.php).  I can't seem to select a submenu in that theme, seems it doesn't slide the submenus to the right enough.  I don't know if you've tried this theme.

Nice job on the mod though, thanks again.

How do you mean? Any chance of a screenshot? Is it like this?

The issue you mentioned is an issue caused by your theme's CSS stylesheet (CSS file), not one caused by this mod in any form.

[Rk2910]

Doug, I figured that.  I am not knocking the mod - works perfect on the other themes.
And the effect is only weird on the main menu of this theme.  Once you get one layer deep it pops the sub-menus out to the right far enough that it works correctly.  Attached are examples.
Doug, unless you can guide me as to where to look I will ask the developer of the theme.

[Arantor]

You should ask the developer of the theme; looks like the main navigation menu uses different code that doesn't properly support submenus.

Apparently this mod has an issue with themes other than the Curve theme as shown here:



Just a minor inconvenience though and the benefits outweigh it.

Okay, I had to research how to fix the wrapping of the text into the next line, rendering it unreadable on my theme (available here).  I found that I had to change the following in my theme's CSS:

Code (Find) Select Expand

#topnav li li {
width: 200px;
height: auto;

Code (Replace) Select Expand

#topnav li li {
min-width: 200px;
white-space: nowrap;
height: auto;
then change this:

Code (Find) Select Expand

#topnav li ul {
background: #202020;
position: absolute;
width: 200px;

Code (Replace) Select Expand

#topnav li ul {
background: #202020;
position: absolute;
min-width: 200px;
white-space: nowrap;

I hope this helps....

EDIT: The CSS section may vary on other themes, so you may have to check your index.template.php under function template_menu in order to find the correct DIV name to search for.  For example, the bold text is the DIV name ID you would search for:

<div id="topnav">

EDIT2: You will need to change the width to min-width and add the white-space: nowrap; part to whichever section is ailing ya....  Hope this helps...

Thanks for that.

I've fiddled with the theme in question some over the last few days.  I don't have the experience to figure out how to get that theme to display the sub-menus correctly....  What makes it worse is the code is completely different from every other theme I've looked into....  Definitely not a "standard" (or run-of-the-mill) theme layout....

Uploaded v1.14 - January 16th, 2015
o License change to Simplified BSD.  No functionality change.

[Rk2910]

Doug, here is what the author said

The theme is not designed for a 3rd level of submenu, I'll see what can I do

I am not a programmer so I have no idea what he is referring to.  My mind sees "third level" and thinks deeper in the menu than the main/first level.
Thanks for all you do to help all of us Doug.

[dougiefresh]

I'm guessing that the "first-level menu" is the top menu, and the "second-level menu" is the drop-down menu.  The "third-level menu" would be the submenus that are grouped in each of the "second-level menus"....

Hi,

Has anyone said anything about installing this mod since last month?

I'm getting the fatal error below during install. Did you ever check the install paths with the last uploaded revision?

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/home/me/public_html/Packages/temp/add_remove_hooks.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/me/public_html/Sources/Packages.php on line 939

[dougiefresh]

@RSI: Nope, you're the first to mention it.  Evidentally, I can't update the first post of my thread anymore.....  But I've updated the mod to v1.15, which corrects this issue...

[RSI]

That fixed it, thanks...

Hey dougie ... I installed Arantor's media gallery and when I hover over the admin button it shows when I'm in the admin section but not on the forum index.

The first pic is the forum index and the second in while I'm in admin:

 

Any way to move the Media option to the forum index hover?
