Main Menu Image hack - Page 4

andi.martin · 07.02.2007, 10:31

Problem solved.

Ok, turns out that the extra <a href="..."> wasn't causing the problem, it was the spaces between the tags.

If you wish to remove the extra link tag...

Find

Code:

                     } else {
                                    $txt .= $image .'' . $txt;

And add a

Code:

;//

just after

Code:

."

and before

Code:

.$txt

NB - I have no idea as to the importance of this line, therefore, if all your other menus break, don't blame me! :p

The extra spacing was fixed by removing all the spaces from between the tags, try searching for " <" and " >".

Hope someone else finds this useful.

Cheers for the hack all!

I hope you are right, because I think so too. After all, let’s wait for other opinions and see.

Well spend a few hours but its not working with me. i am using joomla ver 1.0.13

can anyone help?

1. The images are shown over the actual buttons of the existing menu. when i move the mouse i see the original menu below changing colours but the actual icons do not have the link on them.
2. the blank option does not work.

I also think that the number of line the script is suppose to go at is different on my version

Can anyone help?

Hi there...

Thanks for the great input here, unfortunately I didn't get it to work with Dynamic Drive DOM Image Rollover (I fear, I simply included the js file wrongly - I'm new to Web-Design

), so I simply took the image mouseover and mouseout effects from mambo ("Advanced" register in the insert image popup for content items) and got it to work without...

You simply replace the "$image="-Line in Chucks Post with the following and can forget about including the JS file...

$image = '<img src="'. mamboCore::get('mosConfig_live_site') .'/images/stories/'. $mitem->name .'.gif" onmouseover="this.src=\''. mamboCore::get('mosConfig_live_site') .'/images/stories/'. $mitem->name .'_over.gif\'" onmouseout="this.src=\''. mamboCore::get('mosConfig_live_site') .'/images/stories/'. $mitem->name .'.gif\'" border="0" alt="'. $mitem->name .'"/>';

So the menu item name is the name of the image und for over-images filenames add "_over"... (thanks Gerry!)

Was just a bit tricky coz of the quotation marks, but it works fine on: "www.kleintierordination.com" (not allowed to post urls yet)...

            // open in parent window

            $txt = '<a href="'. $mitem->link .'" class="'. $menuclass .'" '. $id .'>';

        }

 
        if ( $params->get( 'menu_images' ) ) {

            $menu_params = new stdClass();

            $menu_params =& new mosParameters( $mitem->params );

            $menu_image = $menu_params->def( 'menu_image', -1 );

            if ( ( $menu_image <> '-1' ) && $menu_image ) {

                $image = '<img src="'. $mosConfig_live_site .'/images/stories/'. $menu_image .'" border="0" alt="'. $mitem->name .'" srcover="'. $mosConfig_live_site .'/images/stories/'. $mitem->name .'"/>';

                if ( $params->get( 'menu_images_align' ) ) {

                    $txt = $image;

                } else {

                    //$txt = $image .' '. $txt;

                    $txt = $txt .' '. $image;

                }

            }

        }

        

        if ($level > 0)

            $txt.= $mitem->name;

            $txt.='</a>';

            return $txt;

            break;

}

First I went to Dynamic Drive DOM Image Rollover and installed their script. Very easy.

The only extra step involved is renaming your menus to the new rollover image, such as home_over.gif. I wanted my submenus to stay as text links, so at the bottom, I added "if level is greater than 0, then show the text".

The website is www.radministries.com/discipleship/index.php. I didn't design the website, another designer did. I am just porting it over to Mambo for them. I am still in the process with it, so if you see anything that could be tweaked on it, please let me know.
