SWmenuFree2.0 Released!

swonline · 21.10.2004, 11:11

SWmenuFree2.0 has been released. This is a major upgrade to SWmenuFree and fixes a lot of bugs.

The number of added features is too numerous to list.

Main new features are the ability to position relative or absolute.

Menu can also be vertical or horizontal. Menutype can be set through module parameters. eg. menutype=mainmenu

The backend has a whole lot more options and browser compatability has been greatly improved by integrating with the tigra menu system.

Hope you all like.

I wanted to check it out, installed the module and component and got the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get() in /mambo/modules/mod_swmenufree.php on line 18

Does it require the latest version (4.5.1) of mambo? Is there something else I'm missing? Is there some kind of documentation out there?

The get() function is specific to mambo 4.5.1 but this line should parse in earlier versions, at least it does on my computer. I will have to investigate further.

For now just replace line 18 of the mod_swmenufree.php file.

line 18:

Code:

$menu = ($params->menutype ? $params->menutype : $params->get( 'menutype' )) ? $params->menutype ? $params->menutype : $params->get( 'menutype' ) : "mainmenu";

if you are using a version of mambo prior to 4.5.1 then replace this line with:

Code:

$menu = $params->menutype ? $params->menutype : "mainmenu";

if your version is 4.5.1 or 4.5.1a then relace the line with this code:

Code:

$menu =  $params->get( 'menutype' ) ?  $params->get( 'menutype' ) : "mainmenu";

or otherwise you could just hardcode the menu you want in. eg.
$menu = "mainmenu"

I will fix this line of code soon to make it more compatable with all mambo versions.

I am having an issue with the menu in Netscape 7.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.......
Although the menu loads in a somewhat expected state, as soon as you mouse over the menu anywhere, it jumps a couple hundred pixels right. it still functions but it is way off the there to the right.
Love the menu and was thinking about buying the pro version but i wonder if there is a fix for this issue. or for my ignoranse.
The menu is in an relative/horizontal position so i can use it as a static dropdown at the top of the page. Has anyone else seen this behavior or am i the only lucky one? any help?

Yes I have noticed that problem. This is template specific and has to do with the centering of modules in a template. I am working on a fix, but for now you may need to do a liitle adjustment to the template.

I have teh latest version of mambo en sw installed, but i get the next error

Warning: mysql_numrows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/cr10/public_html/modules/mod_swmenufree.php on line 64

Sorry just found a problem with the source that will affect people who are not using the standard mos_ as the table prefix.

If you are not using the default mos_ as the table prefix then please replace lines 58 -62 of the mod_swmenufree.php file in the modules folder.

Code:

if ($mosConfig_shownoauth) {
			$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$mosConfig_dbprefix."menu WHERE mos_menu.menutype = '".$menu."' AND published = '1' ORDER BY parent, ordering;");
		} else {
			$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$mosConfig_dbprefix."menu WHERE mos_menu.menutype = '".$menu."' AND published = '1' AND access <= '$my->gid' ORDER BY parent, ordering;");
		}

with these lines:

Code:

if ($mosConfig_shownoauth) {
			$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$mosConfig_dbprefix."menu WHERE ".$mosConfig_dbprefix."menu.menutype = '".$menu."' AND published = '1' ORDER BY parent, ordering;");
		} else {
			$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$mosConfig_dbprefix."menu WHERE ".$mosConfig_dbprefix."menu.menutype = '".$menu."' AND published = '1' AND access <= '$my->gid' ORDER BY parent, ordering;");
		}

Also:

you must specify which menu you want to use for the module. To do this go to modules->manage modules in the mambo administration.

Click on the swmenufree module to edit

under parameters type:

menutype=mainmenu

or a different menu name if not using the mainmenu:

eg. menutype=topmenu

This should fix the problem described above and also a call to fatal function get() that some people are experiencing.

I will release an update soon to permanently fix these errors.
