Hi,

So far so good, gr8 work.

A

I’m going to look at that but I have found a solution for the problem I talked about in your last post (maybe it is the same as yours) : put that line

before the first in the footer of the theme, it works great !

Argh, I’m going to send you this by mail !

Great menu! Got it working right away, however how can I get a vertical display of categories with a horizontal fly out of sub categories?

Hi Tim,
I’m completing a vertical menu template, I’ll let you know when it’s ready!

I descovered an issue that we might want to solve.

balbalbla

blebelble

The first UL is an issue because if you set a class for it, it will apply on all li’s below it too when you don’t set an class to them.

here the code again

div id=”nav”>
ul>
li class=”navli”>balbalbla
ul>
li class=”active”>blebelble
/ul>
/ul>
/div>

Another thing that I see is when you add you own class to a menu item, the menu does not dissapear anymore when you move your mouse.

This is quite an issue.

Would it not be ideal to move “active” also away from css when you put your own in a menu item ?

Hello Mattz,
thank you for your reports, I’m going to look into the class thing in the next few days. I’ll let you know!

Help! I love this plugin, it’s extremely flexible and easy to use. But I’m experiencing a bug (agencycritique.com). When I go to “manage menubar” in admin it is not displaying all the pages in my menu. All the sub pages under “consulting services” are missing as well as a few new sub pages I added under the About Me” section. These pages are showing up on the live site, just not in admin. I need to re-order the pages under “About Me” and can’t without the admin view. Any ideas?

Hello Eric,
I can suggest the following procedure:
- deactivate Menubar;
- delete the wp-content/plugins/menubar folder (after saving a copy of wp-content/plugins/menubar/Suckerfish/wpm3.css, which contains your CSS customizations);
- reinstall a freshly downloaded copy of Menubar and reactivate it;
- replace wp-content/plugins/menubar/Suckerfish/wpm3.css with your saved copy.

If that doesn’t solve the problem, then I’ll need to see the Menubar table from your database. Could you export it and send it to andrea AT dontdream.it?

Just had a question, is there a way to change the width of the menu bar? It’s naturally just a few pixles to wide for the theme. I tried to change the margins in the css file but that did nothing for me. Thanks!

Hey Andrea,
Great Widget!
I have a few issues however because I need images within the menu and was hoping that you could help me out.
I’ve managed to add an extra div to the top level links using the wpm3.php file – I needed 2 background images for each tab so that the tab image stretches to match longer and shorter tab (link) titles. This works great other than a bit of a flashing issue in IE6.
My issue is that I need little arrow icons in the drop down and flyout menus next to each link that has a subsequent drop down or flyout, but I don’t want arrows beside EVERY link! Just those that have another sub-menu. Problem is I can’t find where to add another div tag – any changes I make to the wpm3.php ONLY affect the top level links and the very end of each sub-menu. Where do I go in the .php files to see the structure of the actual sub-menus? Or can you think of another way to accomplish this?
I am using the Page-Tree set-up so that it is nice and easy for the client to update. Maybe this is only possible if I add each page individually?

BTW. I love that it automatically updates the menu whenever a page is added!

Thanks Andrea!

Hello Derek,

please make sure you modified the right line, try changing:

#wpmnav {
margin: 10px 10px 0 10px;
…
}

with, for instance

#wpmnav {
margin: 10px 8px 0 8px;
…
}

Let me know if this works for you!

Hello Spirit,

in a PageTree set-up the sub-menus are generated by calling the WordPress function wp_list_pages(), so the generated HTML is not controlled by the plugin code.

If you don’t use the PageTree but just add each page individually, the whole menu structure is generated by the plugin code, so you can modify it according to your needs.

Hope this helps!

That worked out, thanks! Another question I had is how you get the drop down menus to change color or something when the mouse is over it? Also including the parent menu to change color when you are on a sub menu. Are there any other templates for v3 beta 5? Other than Suckerfish? Thanks!

Hi Derek,

currently there is only one template for 3.0 beta, but of course you can customize the CSS file to suit your preferences. To change the mouse-over style, you can change the rule

#wpmnav li:hover,
#wpmnav li.wpmhover {
background: #1C86EE;
}

and/or add another rule like

#wpmnav li:hover a,
#wpmnav li.wpmhover a {
color: red;
}

Happy customization!

Another bug – using Firefox 3.0 the menus disappear under the following condition:

1. Move your pointer over a column and move down over a link as normal.
2. Hold the pointer still for a second or two (inactive)
3. Move the pointer slightly, still within the menu however

The menubar disappears, as if it thinks you’ve moved outside the menu.

Hi James,

thanks for your feedback, I’m going to install Firefox 3.0 to dig into this!

Thanks for the great plugin.
How can you make a page/subpage non clickable like on your menu “WP Menubar > Templates for 2.3″

Thanks.

Hi Azri,
you have to use the “Heading” type for your menu item (you need Menubar 3.0 beta 6 for this, “Heading” is not available in the previous versions).
