Does the ‘child of’ menu item work? It does not display on my site?

I hope you can help

First, thank you for such a great plugin! I searched long and hard a while ago for a good menu customization plugin, and this one was by far the best!

With the new update, I’m happy to see that the categoryTree nodes now add ancestor classes, which is great. However, I noticed that pages now no longer with have an ancestor class if the current page is a subpage of one of the menu items. Is there a way to still have this?

Thanks again for the great plugin!

That’s for the quick reply!

I actually think I found the issue. After some hefty digging, here’s is what I found:

In the wpm-db.php file, in the wpm_hilight function, under the Page switch option:


case 'Page':
if (is_page($item->selection)) return true;
return false;


I changed the code to this:


case 'Page':
if (is_page($item->selection) || wpm_is_descendant($item->selection)) return true;
return false;


This seems to have fixed it, but I’m not sure if this will effect anything else.

Hope this helps!

I have an odd probably ?.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to create a vertical menu for a sidebar that have category type sections which toggle open when a heading is clicked and toggle close when another is clicked/opened. I noticed the Superfish template kinda does this but with a hover effect. Is it possible to make it “on click” instead?

I’m just working on learning Javascript and JQuery so I’m not sure if I’m making sense.

Thanks much,

Hi,
Is there a way to export menu bar options from one installation to a different website? For example, if I have a local development version of site and I want to move the menu options to production site, how can I do that?

Thanks and best regards.

@andrea
Thanks Andrea! Yeah I had to manually create the Menu all over again but I guess could save some time by moving the options from DB. Do you have the exact options or table names to move the data from? Thanks in advance and your new site looks great !!

Andrea.. the menu bar works as advertised and has a killer look and action. Thank you. I’m using the ssf-yellow css.

I’d bet a lot of others along with me would love to know what part of the css of the skin needs to be used to add the same background to our widget title bars to match the menu. Not the suckerfish, just the depth and color scheme. Can you help?

@andrea

oh, you’re working hard for a donation now!

Thanks for this plugin, it’s enabled me to completely mod a theme to suit us because I know the menu bar (with drop downs) will work fine. I had one question, how do you centre the suckerfish menu?

Andrea,

I had to leave a note to let you know how pleased I am with Menubar. Our site is not yet live, but you can take a look to see how I implemented it.

It took a little doing, but Menubar and Atahualpa seem to be playing nice. I had to spend some time on the code to get the multiline menus to work and be centered vertically, and to move the child menus off to the side, but I think it looks good, now.

Interestingly, I had an issue with the spacing above the child menus after I’d removed the template visual coding and replaced it with the dashes and white background. There was just enough of a space that the child menu would go away as the mouse moved from the parent down to the child. Once I figured out how to move the child menus up, I moved them over, as well.

Thanks, again for your great tool.

@andrea

Having any luck? It’s a very versatile theme and it seems it would be easy to put the needed code right into the widget title bar section option. Thanks for looking.

@andrea

LOL – I did THAT! I was hoping you would come up with the ability to use the yellow suckerfish 2d menu as a background in the widget title area!

For the record, I thought it was a but much to do but also thought it would look pretty kewl if it could be done. Keep up the great work!

opps.. forgot to ask how to right align the last menu button.

Hi, I am running version 4.3 of your menubar plugin. When I upgraded to version 4.7 using the auto upgrade within wordpress it wiped out my menu. I was able to roll back the update using a backup. Is there a way to upgrade to the latest version without losing my menu? It seems like the data was still in the database however when I reloaded the page it told me my menu was not available.

Just FYI: I’m testing WordPress 3.0 (alpha) and Menubar worked until a few versions back of the new (but still) alpha version; now it’s broken: I can’t save or add any menu item in Menubar admin section.

- WordPress 3.0 alpha (svn13807 – 2010.03.23 @ 20.03)
- Menubar 4.7 (no additional plugins)
- PHP 5.2.11 / MySQL 5.1.39

You don’t have a timetable for fixing/debugging againt WP 3.0, don’t you? If — please let me know

I’m on the verge to go straight w/ WP 3.0 alpha and your great Menubar … and was very frustrated today after finishing the graphic (sprites) for my Menubar-Template to see that WP broke your Menubar. I won’t go w/ the new Menu Navigation of WP 3.0 because I decided that your solution is much more solid … well, until today. I hope it’s nothing complicate to fix your Menubar again to work w/ WP 3.0.

If you need any help, well … testing → please let me know.

Is there any way I can set an item to be private? Meaning only logged in user will be able to see the menu item.

Thanks for a great plugin.

Hi Andrea

Thanks for providing this great plugin

Is there a way to change the sorting of the sub-categories within the category tree with sub categories?

I use the plugin ‘category order’ to change the ordering (or sorting) of the sub-categories but it seems that menubar only sorts the sub-categories by name.

Thanks for your advise.

Peter

@ andera

thanks for the fast response. I changed the order to ID and it works nicely. Also, I am looking forward to the next menubar release, especially when I can set some menu points for logged in users only. That is something very very useful

Peter

Sorry to ask, but do you have any timetable/schedule for a WordPress-3.0-ready version of Menubar? I have to build some sites where I have to rely on your plugin and I would like very much to start these projects w/ WP 3.0 … which release date (at least RC) is due on may 1st.

Btw. your way of building a menu (w/ Menubar) is much better to handle and less resource (db queries) hungry than the new WordPress Menu feature … which will possible dos not make it into the first release anyway.

So thanks again for your great plugin.

Ok, thanks for your frank answer — but if you have test-versions, betas, whatever ready and need someone to test it: say a word and I’ll happily volunteer w/ testing and sending you bug reports.

Hi Andrea,

thx for the great menubar plugin.
I’ve got one question: I’m using the Suckerfish 45 sf-vertical.css.
I want a greater distance between the different buttons. Which line do I have to change in the css?

Many thx and regards…

This is a splendid plugin!
A couple of things, the link from the plugins page in admin goes to a white page (you moved?) and (off topic) what is the calendar you use?

@andrea
Hi Andrea,
thx for your reply!
One more question:

It’s not possible to add a css class to items within Basic_46 template, is this due to compatibility reasons? I want a specific item seperated from the others.

Thx again!

Hi Andrea,

I love the plugin, makes making menu’s so much fun But I am having one issue, I installed it, began making menus etc no problems but I got the following at the top of the website: “Please populate menu “thesis-nav”.
I am running 4.7 on thesis 1.7 wp 2.9.2
website is http://crowleyartists.com

Tks

Hi there, first let me say I love your plugin, I think it is one of the best for WordPress there is. This morning, I checked my website and my menu had disappeared – all my menu data was gone and I had to rebuild my navigation from scratch. Once I am done, is there a file that I can make a backup of so that if it happens again I can just upload the file, or is all the data getting written to the DB?

Thanks!

Hi I love menubar I use it all the time .. I’ve just come across a problem in that the loading for the selection of static page just keeps loading and the available pages do not display.. its been working fine. I ve not added any new plugins, and I actually disabled them all to see if that helped ..any suggestions ? thanks Elana
