Drop Down Nav [Library Support]

[Former Member]

I have a slight issue going on with the plugin. Although I have several sections set so that everyone can view them, you can only see the dropdowns if you are signed in as a member. It doesn't even show up when you're signed in as a guest. I have the most recent version of the plugin available through the Library (1.1.1), and I double-checked my settings, so I'm not sure what's going on. I've tested this on Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Opera, all of which are experiencing the same issue.

Here's a screen cap of my settings:



Note: The first section that is set as "Staff Only" is doing what it's suppose to do, and showing only for the appropriate groups.

Very well could be that I'm forgetting something, doing something wrong, just plain out being goofy. Who knows? If that's the case, I apologize for my lack of common sense. u_u;

@theforsaken I believe the issue you are having is the same as someone else had on the previous page. Basically, as a guest you can't see the inhabitants button, so as a guest the personal button isn't getting added because it can't find the button its wanting to add it to. And then you have the record button trying to go after the personal button and since that wasn't created the record button isn't either. And since record isnt being created neither is roster because it's looking for record. Like I told the other guy, choose a different reference point for personal that is viewable by guests.


To everyone: I just finished rewriting the code. It's basically the same, I just took a lot of the javascript out and made it use mainly CSS. So this means in the new version you won't have to set a width. I also have added a target for each URL. I also changed the parentheses used in the sub-sub links to brackets because parentheses were messing up the sub-sub links if you used javascript:void(0); in a sub-sub link url. I also change the userid from [#userid] to $[user.id] to go more along with the template variable. I'll try and submit it to the library tomorrow and provide the CSS to style the menus.

Alright guys the new version is updated in the library. Check the first post for the link and instructions as the old sub link setup won't work anymore. So yeah be sure to carefully input the new sub nav links and change the [#userid] to $[user.id]

Yep, that was exactly the problem. I read over the last page, but didn't think to check that. Sorry about that. Thank you for helping me, though!

You are welcome.

Nice one Shorty. Will get it going later. Do you by chance have an example of the css that I can edit please?

[Shorty]

ul.sub-menu-ul {
background-color: #1979e6;
border: 1px solid #004c97;
}
li.sub-menu-li:hover {
background-color: #004c97;
}

There's what I have.

The first thing makes the whole menu background color be a certain color and adds a border. The second thing changes the background color a menu item when it is hovered over. Use color: COLORCODE; to change the color, replacing COLORCODE with the actual hex for the color.

2 questions Shorty.

Where in the css does it go?

Is there a setting for with?

[Shorty]

I would just say at the bottom. And no there is no setting for width.

Lmao it's weird but true.

Update: Everything seems to be working, except the drop down under profile that uses the $[user.id] as advised.
