Menu madness

Pål Messenlien	Thursday 09 June 2005 3:32:33 am Im building a new site here at work in eZ publish. And ive started strugling with menu's for the site. I want this to be as dynamic as possible, even so easy that the users can build them theirself. And i dont want to create a specific menu for each section of the page. Will try to explain a litle how i think this should be. Iv'e started building the structure of the site like this: -><b>Folder</b> -->Article -->Links -->Article etc ---><b>Folder</b> --->Article --->Links --->Article etc This is where i want to build the menu from. List all the article names as a menu item, and the links as a menu item wich directs directly to the link and not the document with the link in it. Click on the second folder and you open up a new page with the content of the folder as menu items. The idea is to have a frontend publishing tool wich let the user create a new folder, article or link. And then the menu will build upon that. Do anyone have code for such a menu, or can point me into the right direction of how todo this. -------------------------------------------- Høgskolen i Lillehammer Lillehammer University College http://www.hil.no -------------------------------------------- Messenlien IT http://messenlien.com -------------------------------------------
Felix Laate	Thursday 09 June 2005 6:15:27 am Hi Pål! You could use the treemenu operator. Here's an example of a menu with two levels. <table width="126" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> {let mainMenu=treemenu( $module_result.path, $module_result.node_id, array('folder','article'), 1, 3 )} {section var=menu loop=$mainMenu} {section show=$menu.item.is_selected} <tr> <td></td> </tr> <tr><td class="leftmenu{$menu.item.level\|inc}" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#A4ABB3'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#BCBCc6'" onClick="window.location.href={$menu.url_alias\|ezurl('single')}">{$menu.text\|shorten( 25 )}</td> </tr> {section-else} {switch match=$menu.item.level} {case match=1} <tr> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="leftmenu{$menu.item.level\|inc}" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#A4ABB3'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#B4BFCC'" onClick="window.location.href={$menu.url_alias\|ezurl('single')}">{$menu.text\|shorten( 25 )}</td> </tr> {/case} {case} <tr> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="leftmenu{$menu.item.level\|inc}" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#A4ABB3'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#BCBCc6'" onClick="window.location.href={$menu.url_alias\|ezurl('single')}">{$menu.text\|shorten( 25 )}</td> </tr> {/case} {/switch} {/section} {/section} {/let} </table> Hope it makes sense..

Hi Pål!

You could use the treemenu operator. Here's an example of a menu with two levels.

<table width="126" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
{let mainMenu=treemenu( $module_result.path, $module_result.node_id, array('folder','article'), 1, 3 )}
{section var=menu loop=$mainMenu}
{section show=$menu.item.is_selected}								
	<tr>
		<td></td>
	</tr>
	<tr><td class="leftmenu{$menu.item.level|inc}" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#A4ABB3'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#BCBCc6'" onClick="window.location.href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl('single')}">{$menu.text|shorten( 25 )}</td>
	</tr>
{section-else}
{switch match=$menu.item.level}
{case match=1}
	<tr>
		<td></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="leftmenu{$menu.item.level|inc}" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#A4ABB3'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#B4BFCC'" onClick="window.location.href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl('single')}">{$menu.text|shorten( 25 )}</td>
	</tr>
{/case}
{case}
	<tr>
		<td></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="leftmenu{$menu.item.level|inc}" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#A4ABB3'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#BCBCc6'" onClick="window.location.href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl('single')}">{$menu.text|shorten( 25 )}</td>
	</tr>
{/case}
{/switch}								
{/section}
{/section}
{/let}
</table>

Hope it makes sense..
