Robert Simons Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 it would be quite a change code wise ... as I'd have to add in a new database field ... a different add and edit template for the admin panel .. rework the template bits to accommodate either menu type ... etc .. would take some time to assemble .. it would be a parent menu only option ... and I'd prolly have to make it so you build the sub menus within those pages ... but I do believe it should be doable
Richard.C Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I've been tossing around the idea of adding in a "Add Mega Menu" option ... in theory I should be able to create it so you can run both types simultaneously within the primary navigation ... anyone have any thoughts on this concept? I would like to have either a second menu (like fusion header and primary menu) and maybe a new app (or addition, if possible) of http://codecanyon.ne...own-menu/126387 although there are licencing concerns with it that would need to be addressed, unless you developed your own equivalent :wink: I think this menu is probably about as developed as it should be (within this application) a header or mega dropdown should maybe be a new application, and shhh all you cheapwads that would complain about shelling out more $$ :P

As far as the link you posted ... that is a mega menu .. exactly what I'm thinking about adding

Robert Simons Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 I would like that, know users themselves would. not sure its classified as a mega menu thou, looked at that example and it is nice. yes that link would be an example of your basic "Mega Drop Down Menu" .. I've seen some like that....where they even do submenushere's a sample of one I found from http://www.htmldrive.net/ of coarse adding in all that one offers would be just be overkill IMHO though I do like the basic concept .. gives me plenty of ideas on what I would like to achieve LOL
Dmacleo Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 the color swap would be an excellent tool for usersI wish I had not just spent money on fusion LOL
Robert Simons Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 the color swap would be an excellent tool for users I don't think its really necessary is it .. I made plenty of comments in the css template so users can tweak the colors, display look and location of subs ... using a tool would have to be global and not really ideal for users with multiple themes I wish I had not just spent money on fusion LOL he has a decent product .. just depends on your needs ... though I agree with everyone else the support is lacking ... though you can in theory use it for a header menu .. or custom menus I guess .. though not sure how it would display on the front with custom menus .. as long as you have his navigation removal hook enabled I don't foresee a major clash happening ... though as rule of thumb .. backup first LOL
Dmacleo Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 well I was thinking if the user could swap color as easily as that it may help those who have vision issues when using some skins, but having not seen how yours actually works please take that with HUGE grain of salt :) the sub menus you have are what I was hoping for when I bought fusion, what can you do LOL

I personally dont even use submenus (but do use multiple IP.Content pages and desired independent tab activation for each page), though I know the desire/need for one is present in the community, hence its creation
Robert Simons Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 well I'll know once my backups finish :) let me know..I'm curious LOL

Dmacleo Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 uploading now, bunch of skins so takes a minute :)
Dmacleo Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Fatal error: Call to a member function prim_nav_app() on a non-object in /home/davemac/public_html/forums/hooks/globalProMenuPrimNavApp_ef5d7acc9431d5d698a69978dd6097c7.php on line 96think this was mentioned here somewhere, recacheing now
Dmacleo Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 recache did not fix EDIT: had to rebuild/recache twice. suspect related to the fusion menu I uninstalled.
Ocean West Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Just got this app... looking forward to using it - however I would like to add one suggestion - why not create a button that will create a menu structure as it exists so that you can move things and adjust things as needed using the default as a starting point? Right now I have to setup menus from scratch in order to build any sub-menus. Also too i would like to see MENU SETS by GROUP... If you are a member of XYZ group you get this MENU SET / if you are in group ZYX you get THAT MENU GROUP
Dmacleo Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I am missing something, how do I create a top level menu w/o linking it to something?
Cyrem Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I am missing something, how do I create a top level menu w/o linking it to something? Make the URL '#' :)
Dmacleo Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 links to forums as I had used anyways, perhaps ability to create unlinked entry is good idea. I really like the sub-sub menus, its the type of thing not used often but when needed is the perfect solution.

Right now I have to setup menus from scratch in order to build any sub-menus. not a bad idea..I can see me adding in that feature eventually Also too i would like to see MENU SETS by GROUP... If you are a member of XYZ group you get this MENU SET / if you are in group ZYX you get THAT MENU GROUP couldn't that be achieved thru the permissions matrix? on that note .. I do plan on incorporating the idea of editing all permissions on the fly .. like how IPB has it setup for forums .. when editing on the fly you can just save, or save and load next menus permissions matrix on the tree
Robert Simons Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 I am missing something, how do I create a top level menu w/o linking it to something? Cyrem is correct ... using the url setting and "#" should achieve the functionality you desire .. if not I can probably work in a setting for a "dead" menu link
Robert Simons Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 how about a setting .. to determine which way a menu opens ... left or right .. this would be for submenus at any level .. it can be achieved now thru the css .. but would be global .. creating it as a setting would give flexibly on the fly w/o having to edit the style .. and not have ... say all "3rd level menus" opening right

Dmacleo Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 fusion did allow no link so the top level was a category really, that was very useful to me. that LR would be useful I think, I can think of one instance I would be going deep enough to use it and think it would help.
