PHP Guru Needed - Milonic menu code using PHP 99% working!!
Poster: fiscus
Dated: Thursday July 15 2004 - 12:07:20 BST
Ok this is going to be a bit of a mouthful but here goes:
First up the basis behind this post stems from this thread http://www.milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4570
My site has a fully working (and licensed) version of the milonic menu (5.33) which is menu driven. I am using a CMS system that allows me to formulate php codes into snippets which I can just call apon in pages & templates (by simplying using [[snippetname]]
Anyway....the reason for these posts is that my menu has issues with MAC I.E. The submenu offset is way off so I needed to fix this. I have read the info on this page and also the MAC specific stuff on this page
Ok so i know that I now have to render the sub menus first and then have the menu code in the table where I want it displayed.
As I mentioned above I am using some php code to generate the equivelent of my menu_data.js The code (which is my snippet) is currently this:
Code:
$MilonicMenu = "
<script>
_menuCloseDelay=500 // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=100 // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_subOffsetTop=5
_subOffsetLeft=1
with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
onbgcolor=\"#E78B00\";

}
with(milonic=new menuname(\"Main Menu\")){

// OK, first we set the main menu up, by getting the documents in the root of the document tree.
$sql = "SELECT id, pagetitle, isfolder FROM $dbase.".$table_prefix."site_content WHERE $dbase.".$table_prefix."site_content.parent=0 AND $dbase.".$table_prefix."site_content.published=1 AND $dbase.".$table_prefix."site_content.deleted=0 ORDER BY $dbase.".$table_prefix."site_content.menuindex DESC;";
$rs = $db->Execute($sql);

This is pretty much straight PHP code (apart from the $MilonicMenu.=" which are required for the snippet to work) and as I stated this code generated the fully working menu from the DB on my site.
The problem is that this ONE piece of code is gernerating all the config file...and now I have realised that I need to render the subs first and then the main meny in the table where I want it to be displayed.
So I need a PHP guru that can split this code into two sections. The first bit will be used to generate the subs code and the second part is to generate the main menu.
To distinguish between the two piece of code you will need to replace the $MilonicMenu for the new script name ie. $MilonicMenusubs and $MilonicMenuNoSubs (for this to work in the CMS I just have to call the snippet whatever the initial variable is).
Ruth was kind enough to post what I need to get as my output:

I hope I have explained everything correctly - if anyone can please help me it would be appreciated. I am very close to this but I just need this final step!!
Ultimately with these two bits of code (snippets) I can call on [[MilonicMenusubs]] directly under the body tag and then the [[MilonicMenuNosubs]] in the table where I want the menu to be displayed.
BTW the CMS is Phase if anyone is curious (probs the best CMS system there is!!)[/code]

From what I can see, you are building the main menu and then the sub menus which is good.
I'm guessing that this code:
Code:
for ($y = 0; $y < $limit; $y++) {
if($menu1src[$y]['isfolder']==1) {
$MilonicMenu.="aI(\"text=".$menu1src[$y]['pagetitle'].";showmenu=".$menu1src[$y]['pagetitle']."\");\n";
} else {
$MilonicMenu.="aI(\"text=".$menu1src[$y]['pagetitle'].";url=index.php?id=".$menu1src[$y]['id'].";status=".$menu1src[$y]['pagetitle']."\");\n";
}
}
if($menu1src[$y]['isfolder']==1) {
$MilonicMenu.="aI(\"text=".$menu1src[$y]['pagetitle'].";showmenu=".$menu1src[$y]['pagetitle']."\");\n";
} else {
$MilonicMenu.="aI(\"text=".$menu1src[$y]['pagetitle'].";url=index.php?id=".$menu1src[$y]['id'].";status=".$menu1src[$y]['pagetitle']."\");\n";
}
}
Can use a different variable name. Try changing it to $MilonicMainMenu so that you effectively have 2 php text strings. One containing the main menu, the other containing the subs. You can then echo these at the appropriate places within your HTML.
Hope this helps
Andy
