jMenu - Help file missing! [solved]

[Boudi]

Hi there,

Just downloaded the jMenu plugin: http://jquery.websitebakers.com/plugins/others/jmenu.php

Download and install went fine but.....there's no help file  
I'm no coder so I'm not able to get this thing working.

How to get this plugin working? I would love to use this in a WB environment.

See the jMenu Homepage. http://www.myjqueryplugins.com/jMenu

Also, take a look at the source code of the page in the showroom.

This should give you all info you need.

Thnq.

I checked the author's code and the source.

Like I can see now it's not a menu that you can create dynamically? In other words, it can not be created the normal way you create menu's in wb?

Or do I need glasses

Did you see this page?...

I'm feeling the biggest dumbass in the world right now.......

1 Thing: I could not get the menu nicely placed in a div enviroment. There was a space around it. I had to disable the

Code:

display:table;

in the jMenu.css in order to get it placed correctly. After disabling this the menu is correctly placed in IE, FF, Safari.

After that when entering a submenu the jMenu doesn't show the menu correctly any more. (at least in my case).

So I'm going back to the old fashioned SM2.

Again...vote for me as being the dumbest guy over here.

Hm, without knowing/seeing what you did, it's not possible to find a solution. Maybe you forgot to configure SM2 to use the correct id or something. I don't know.

The menu itself did show corectly. But when clicking a sub-submenu the css style dissapeared.

Besides implementing the original code I didn't do any changes.

Next time I will give it another try on another project.

Thnq till so far.

my try was also a desaster with this menu.
the sm2-call is the problem:

Code:

   show_menu2(
    $aMenu = 1,
    $aStart = SM2_ROOT,
    $aMaxLevel = SM2_ALL,
    $aOptions = SM2_ALL|SM2_PRETTY,
    $aItemOpen = '[li] <a href="[url]" target="[target]" class=[if(level==parent){"fNiv"}else{[page-id]}]>[menu_title]</a>',
    $aItemClose = '</li>',
    $aMenuOpen = '<ul id=[if(level==parent){"jMenu"}else{"my-id"}]>',
    $aMenuClose = '</ul>',
    $aTopItemOpen = false,
    $aTopMenuOpen = false
    );

level==parent is wrong, must be level==root or level==0.
now the menu works better but not perfect.
the down-arrow is also missing.

edit:  page-id must be page_id.
