Menubar 3.0 beta 7 available

November 8th, 2008 andrea

Menubar 3.0 version beta 7 is now available in the Download page.

With this version you can choose the stylesheet within each menu template, and you can try the new stylesheet for vertical menus. I have also fixed a few bugs, so you may wish to try this version if you experienced problems with the previous one.

This is the last beta for Menubar 3.0, the next release will be Menubar 3.0 final.
Your suggestions and bug reports have been invaluable for consolidating this plugin. Thank you all!

Please note that WP Menubar documentation has been updated as well.

    Hi,
    I am an internet entrepreneur and developer. I found your plug-in really amazing, it makes my web site a real CMS and saves a lot of time.
    I have a small problem maybe it is a bug I am not sure.
    In IE the drop down menu does not disappear, they stay… you can see it in my site: http://www.happysensuality.com FF Google Chrome works good but as usual IE make trouble…
    Please help :)
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Andrea,

    How do you get your “WP Menubar” to stay ‘blue’ when you have a child selected under it?

    my problem: http://www.418qe.com

    Hello Mesonto,
    I see you’ve quickly solved your problem, and I really like your new CSS!

    Andrea,

    Actually I haven’t solved it yet. I still cannot keep a parent highlighted when I have a child selected. Only the child is highlighted and the parent no longer is. i.e. if one selects ‘design’ under ‘creative’ then only ‘design’ is highlighted with a white bracket not the category ‘creative’ as well. And what I want to show is the fact that one would still be in the ‘creative’ category by highlighting it with a white bracket too. I hope this makes more sense.

    Regards,
    Mesonto

    p.s. going nuts.

    Hi Mesonto,
    unfortunately you found a bug in the CategoryTree menu type.
    I don’t have a fix ready, but I can suggest a workaround, that is using the Category menu type instead of CategoryTree, and building your menu tree manually (adding the main category menu item first and then the sub-category menu items one at a time).
    Please let me know!

    Andrea,

    First off, thank you kindly for your advise, it works now.

    Secondly, thank you for writing this plugin, after using other plugins for navigation I have come to the conclusion that yours is the best balance of svelt code, easiest admin interface and most easily adapted for different designs.

    But saying this and using your workaround, I will eagerly await your fix.

    Regards,
    James

    p.s. thank god it wasn’t my brain just too tired to code any more

    Hi Andrea,

    Thanks for your efforts on this great plugin!

    I’m setting up version 3 beta7 on WP 2.6.3 and I believe I have found a bug.

    After creating a menu and adding some items to it, I created an item with two children (both being post-items). After that I added a ‘CategoryTree’ item. I wanted to move the last one higher up in the tree of menuitems so I clicked on the up arrow. It messed up the ordering of the menu, the last four items disappeared from the list. I could fix it using phpMyAdmin, the side and down fields were mixed up.

    Greetings from the Netherlands!

    Hi Sander,

    there is a known bug involving menu items with an apostrophe in their name. A workaround is not to use the apostrophe till the menu is complete, then you can edit the menu item and add the apostrophe.

    If your case doesn’t involve apostrophes, could you please send me precise details to duplicate the problem? Thank you for your help!

    Hi Andrea,

    I’ve tested your suggestion and your workaround works. I love the way I can pick my static pages and categories. The CategoryTree also works now.

    However, there’s another pesky little buggie. You can reproduce it like this: create a menu with the last three items consisting of one top level parent item and beneath that two sub-items. After that, create a new top level item and move it up one time. Instead of moving itself above the nearest top level parent item, it moved itself above the second sub-item (being the item directly above it). The two sub-items then show up as regular top level items and the parent item no longer has any children.

    I would like to make a feature request for the menu editor: it would be very handy to be able to change the hierarchy of the menu items by editing a menu item’s parent. Now you can only choose an item’s parent when creating it.

    And I have a minor CSS problem with the Suckerfish menu and IE 7. My WP theme is a multi-column theme based on floating divs. Only in IE (FireFox is okay as always) the menu displays it’s submenu’s not on-top but behind other divs that are added a bit further down in my template’s code. I haven’t been able to produce a good solution yet, but am still searching the net. It seems to be a common problem. I’ll post back here if I find a working fix.

    Thanks again!

    Hi Sander,

    I’ve not been able to reproduce the bug you mentioned, but I’m going to study the implementation of your feature request.

    Regarding the IE problem, could you point me to the involved WP theme, so I can
    try and look into it?

    Thank you for your feedback!

    Using wordpress 2.7, when I install and activate the plugin, the menubar configuration panel doesn’t appear as it should.

    So I simply cannot access the configuration :S

    Hello JG,
    in WordPress 2.7 the Menubar configuration page appears under the Tools section. I’m still testing Menubar with WordPress 2.7, and if there are compatibility issues with the new WP version, please let me know!

    Hi Andrea, thanks for your great plugin!

    I’ve an IE problem, maybe you can help out? :-)
    In my style.css the tag

    a, a:visited {
    color: black;
    text-decoration: none ;
    border: none;
    }

    confuses the sf-blue.css:

    .sf-blue a {
    font-size: 10px;
    font-weight: bold;
    float: left;
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
    display: block;
    height: 26px;
    line-height: 26px;
    padding: 0 15px;
    overflow: hidden;
    }

    I want all text of the navbar in any mouse state just in white but when I change the style.css to color:white all other links in my blog will be white, too. It’s just an IE issue, FF works fine.
    Do you have an idea to how to fix this?

    Many, many thx

  16. February 2nd, 2009 at 15:10 | #758

    Hi Voodoo,

    try adding .sf-blue a:visited to sf-blue.css:

    .sf-blue a,
    .sf-blue a:visited {

    }

    It’s difficult to find a workaround without seeing the problem so, if that doesn’t work, could you send me a link to the page displaying the problem?

  17. February 2nd, 2009 at 17:04 | #759

    Hey Andrea,
    I’ve added the line but it’s still the same prob. As I’ve said, it’s fine in FF but IE makes probs.
    I want the menu text in any button state in white.
    Thanks for your support!

    Hi Voodoo,

    I think you just forgot a comma after a:visited, I’m sending you the modified sf-blue.css for your reference.
    Good luck with your new site!

  19. February 2nd, 2009 at 21:35 | #764

    Hey Andrea, it works!
    Many thanks, but now there’s a new IE prob:
    When i empty the cache and reload the page everything looks great: but when i activate a button the header & footer link change size and positions, the menu also went wild.
    Could you please check it again, i can’t find the wrong tag.
    Thankfully,

    voodoo

    Hello Voodoo,

    I don’t think that’s a Menubar problem. I have two suggestions:

    - try removing other plugins, scripts, marquees, because they could be part of the problem;

    - validate your site with http://validator.w3.org/ and correct the resulting errors.

    Hope this helps!

  21. February 2nd, 2009 at 23:48 | #763

    Finally it works, I’ve found the error:
    I changed a:visited, to .sf-blue a:visited,
    Now everything is fine!
    Many thanks for your kindly help!
    Goodnight,

    voodoo

  22. February 3rd, 2009 at 12:26 | #765

    Voodoo,
    thank you for your feedback, apparently my first suggestion was not 100% correct after all!
    I’ve edited the previous comment with the right solution, for future reference.
