Markus Lassfolk Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 ProMenu is a must have for a IPBoard site. It gives you a lot of flexibility and options. Makes it really easy to provide direct links to content for your users and with easy navigation.
Ocean West Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Thank You Robert for your analysis. - Keep up the fine work! I had made the switch from Fusion to ProMenu and just love it - I too haven't delved into the offerings built in to IPC as of yet. Stephen

I had made the switch from Fusion to ProMenu and just love it - I too haven't delved into the offerings built in to IPC as of yet. Stephen ahhh ok...you meant IP.Navigation offered in 3.3.0 with IP.Content .. I have played with it ... and yes..its a single level dropdown ... nice feature to finally add in .. though compared to ProMenu its still quite lacking ... the only really kewl option it has is the preview, which we have already implemented into the next release of ProMenu and for those that are curious ... ProMenu does work in 3.3 .. though needs some tweaking of the primary navigation hook..so when 3.3 is released..I will have a working version ready for distribution.
ADKGamers Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Keep up the good work! I'm thoroughly enjoying this menu!
Robert Simons Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 Keep up the good work! I'm thoroughly enjoying this menu! wait until you see the next version..will make the current one look sick !!! for those wanting a sneak peek ..Promenu Development Area keep in mind that footer block has not been styled yet..its currently just a clone of the IPS Utility Bar
TracyIsland Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 wait until you see the next version..will make the current one look sick !!! for those wanting a sneak peek ..Promenu Development Area So ... I am intrigued and also confused ... will the next iteration of ProMenu allow for an independent, ip-content only navigation menu that is separate from the menu in the forum? Also you mentioned in an earlier post that there would be five ways to feature the menu and the location as well as the addition of a header menu. Any chance the Header menu can be directly above the primary navigation menu, and to have highlighted tabs in the header, in the primary navigation, and then a drop down menu below that? I know, I want the world!!! Looking super amazing! - Brian
ADKGamers Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Wow! Definitely looking forward to the new version now! :smile: :smile: I'd love to be able to put a sidebar navigation system on my main ipcontent page. Will that be one location that will be available? Thanks for the updates!

Definitely looking forward to the new version now! :smile: :smile: I'd love to be able to put a sidebar navigation system on my main ipcontent page. Will that be one location that will be available? Thanks for the updates! yes those are the 5 predefined areas I have created ... all predefined areas require the usage of the IPB wrapper ...
Cyrem Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Has anyone given this a test on 3.3 Beta to see if it works? The new version is looking awesome!
Robert Simons Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 Has anyone given this a test on 3.3 Beta to see if it works? The new version is looking awesome! other than having to change a hook point for the primary ... and account for the new IP.Navigation offered with IPC .. it will work just fine with 3.3 have a look...the code isn't updated to what I have for 3.2.3 yet..but its closeProMenu 3.2 Development AreaProMenu 3.3 Development Area
Samourai Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Hello,I purchased ProMenu but (this might be because of a bad use of the app) the colours of the menu don't adapt to the colours of my skin. Is this normal ?Best regards,
Robert Simons Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hello,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I purchased ProMenu but (this might be because of a bad use of the app) the colours of the menu don't adapt to the colours of my skin. Is this normal ?[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Best regards, [/font][/color] as stated on the sales page... This menu system will not inherit third party themes. Since this is the first menu of its kind, there is no stylesheet currently within IPB for me to use a basis to build upon. As a result I must create my own, using the IPB default as a base. Due to these factors, it is up to the end user to change the stylesheet provided with this application too accommodate the look and feel of each theme you may have installed. For those who are having issues with your stylesheet alterations, I do offer a service to adjust your menu system to have the look desired for your theme. This service is $5 per theme ($10 for skinbox..or any other extensively altered payed theme). If you have a large amount of themes, contact me via pm for details on bulk deals. this will change once we build in a visual editor to alter your menu stylesheet in the ACP within the new preview area we've added
Samourai Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 And will it be possible to change the color to adapt them to each different theme ? Edit : Why don't you take the menu colors of the theme, like Fusion Menu does ? :)
Robert Simons Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 And will it be possible to change the color to adapt them to each different theme ? Edit : Why don't you take the menu colors of the theme, like Fusion Menu does ? :smile: 1) yes..you can currently change your menu's style by altering the stylesheet provided ... it is well documented within the stylesheet 2) because ProMenu has way more functionality that Fusion (for instance proper tab activation for all IPS applications..specifically IPC .. and parent tab activation when on an active child .. this issues alone would require defining a background color).. not too include the multilevel menu factor and just an FYI .. Fusion doesn't supply a color for parent menus .. he lets IPB take care of it and uses their active calls for tab activation ... he only styles his child menu... which is fine considering what his application was built to achieve .. this would not be the same conditions on how ProMenu operates with its extended levels of functionality
Samourai Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 this will change once we build in a visual editor to alter your menu stylesheet in the ACP within the new preview area we've added An idea about when this will take place ? :P
Steph40 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Hey there, I got promenu and went back to fusion cause everytime I tried to change the color in promenu.css, nothing happens. Now that I see the fantastic support and what's coming in the next version, I'm gonna give it a shot again. :D Here is my problem, I got spectrum skin which has a color picker on user side, so I need menu to either adapt (don't think it's possible)or, have transparent menus. I have tried a few changes in promenu.css but every time, after saving and recaching, nothing happens, no changes, not sure where to go from there? Actually, I also have a similar problem with fusion but for background of submenu, I change it to grey but it stays black. But main menu of fusion adapts on its own. So I guess its me not doing something wrong? Any idea why change I make is css doesn't appear? Stéphane :D
Robert Simons Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 An idea about when this will take place ? :tongue: it wont happen for awhile ... ATM we are still working on getting 2.0 ready for release .. visual editor probably wont make it in (if we can even pull it off) until late 2 series of maybe the 3 series Hey there, I got promenu and went back to fusion cause everytime I tried to change the color in promenu.css, nothing happens.

Stéphane :D sounds like you have one of two issues ... either you have the skin bug (which I don't believe that is the case here) or your server is blocking it in some fashion ... I had a client here a short time ago experiencing that same issue..I was commissioned to come in and theme the menus for the client..I could not produce any changes on any skin bit...his issue was his server..I believe he ended up migrating to a different server actually (if memory serves) as the server we was on..the tech refused to give aid with the situation..of coarse the migration resolved his issues instantly confirming the facts.. so my suggestion..apply the skin patch..or at least verify that your main root template (basic IPB) hasn't lost its key .. if the key is present...then contact your server...if your still having issues after those things are complete..give me a shout and I'll try to troubleshoot your issue via remote session
Steph40 Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I already have the skin patch. When I contact my server, what are the changes that I should ask them to make? thank you! :)
Steph40 Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 My test server (home computer) does the same, any changes made to promenu.css doesn't show up. I would really appreciate any help on this. steph40 :sad: :wacko:

I would really appreciate any help on this. steph40 :sad: :wacko: well we can look at it later tonight via a remote session on my machine ... but I already know its not an application issue..but rather a server misconfiguration or a defective build...or even possible human error .. but looking into it will verify whatever the case may be I use msn, yahoo, and skype ... pm me whatever messenger account information you use and I'll add you to my im service...then we can correlate a good time to check it out
Steph40 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Thank you very much for that Robert, but I seem to be on the right way now, and I think that you are right about human error, I feel like I am the Canadian Mr. Bean. I guess I was trying to hard lol. Anyway, I guess I wasn't doing a rebuild, recache and clear history after every change. I feel dumb, again. :whistle: Steph40

Boost Samurai Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Great menu system, just installed and configured 1.1.1 on my 3.2.3 :tongue: Even my server admin commented how cool the 'new' menu is. However, since I am in the support topic there has to be something of concern, right? While the menu looks to be working fine on my site, it has thrown up some errors in my logs. [Thu Mar 08 17:03:15 2012] [error] [client ###.###.###.##] PHP Strict Standards: Declaration of globalProMenuRemovalTool::globalTemplate() should be compatible with that of skin_global_13::globalTemplate() in /###/###/###/###/public_html/forum/admin/sources/classes/output/publicOutput.php(3435) : eval()'d code on line 78 or is this more to do with my servers PHP config and less to do with Pro Menu? Cheers for an awesome bit of code either way.
dissidia Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Hello, I have a suggestion--an option to be able to push a custom menu to the first position (like what Default Application Features can do with an application). It'd be great if we could create a menu like that that we could give "priority" over other IPB modules. I've also been thinking of how useful could it be if the custom menus could be assigned to a specific skin, because some (unique) skins may not want the dropdown element, just the additional tabs (links). Oh and by the way, wonderful application. :thumbsup:
