Interesting:

I had emptied templates_c and updated both the system module and multimenu, but redirection was still stalled. It must have been the updating of system_redirect.html that fixed it. Another lession learned.

Blueteen,

here is something I've noticed that is a small problem. After making the changes to add a treemenu to both my live site and barryc.net the auto-reload function of XOOPS no longer works. When logging in or off, for example, I get the usual message:


Thank you for logging in, Barry Cooper.

If the page does not automatically reload, please click here

and have to click on here to reload the page. I didn't take too much notice when this happened on my test site, but now it also occurs on my live site. Changing the treemenu back to switch vertical doesn't fix it. I am wondering if it is caused by one of the changes in the theme, but don't have time to try changing back to the previous theme file this morning.

Any suggestions?

It all depends on your perspective, right? If we are making suggestions, I would suggest an improvement to changing the order of menus. The up and down arrows work fine, but are a bit cumbersome if you are re-ordering a large menu set. I have wondered whether a number system might be implemented, where you would set the order of menus and submenus by setting numbers, then clicking a "sort" button.

As it is, though, multiMenu is a great module and the help has been fantastic.

blueteen,

I have tried to make treemenus on my live site. I can do it for a multiMenu that does not have multiple mainlinks. For example, AKA Programs on my site, aka.org. However, when I have multiple mainlinks, each with sublinks, the block is blank. The block currently titled The Basics, for example, won't work when set up as treemenu.

It currently is set up with two mainlinks at the top, without a URL. The other mainlinks are below that, with their submenus. The mainlinks do not have URLs.

Is there any way to get around this problem?

blueteen,

it's always so obvious once you have explained how to do it. I did, of course, remember how you inserted the navbar code. It just hadn't occurred to me yet to do that with the treemenu blocks. I'll be able to do it now for my live site. I will have to make a visual comparison between some menu blocks with treemenu and some with switch vertical to see which I like best.

Thanks,

Barry

I hate to have to ask, but how do I do that? Can I have the Multimenu blocks show without block titles, but still have other blocks with titles? (for example, the Donations block on my site should still show the title).

The theme on barryc.net is the same as on my live site, so if you could show an example there, I'd appreciate it.

Hi blueteen,

I have begun to try treemenus on my main site. When I set up a set of menus to show in a "tree block", selecting -context as the menu type, I get a message for each menu item about the indent needing to be <2. Can you tell me where that is coming from so that I can fix it? If I click OK for each such statement, the menu displays correctly, by the way.

Once I have this live, you would be welcome to also link to my site as a demo, if you wish.

Yes, I saw that. I couldn't resist looking. Now I must really get to bed. I have to get up again in 5 hours.

Thanks blueteen. It looks good. I will study what you have done over the next couple of days. I have a very busy week, teaching in two courses at the veterinary college as well as doing diagnostic biopsy work, so time is a little limited this week.

As always, I appreciate your help.

blueteen,

Yes, I thought of substituting the template of one of the unused menus. And, yes, it would be fine to install it on barryc.net. If it works well there for me, I will install it on my live site. I like the treemenu and it overcomes the one disadvantage I see to switch vertical - the two are similar functionally, but switch vertical closes the submenus when you select one of the links, while treemenu does not.

With the addition of treemenus, multiMenu becomes even better.
