Pagematch not working


Poster: Maestro
Dated: Wednesday January 19 2005 - 18:12:26 GMT

I am using Lasso as the scripting language in my project.
Before the page is parsed by the browser, the server-side lasso parser assigns a variable that is used to insert the following (in bold) js function call into the body tag..

<body onLoad="popup('TopDepartments');" background="/colorSchemes/deptSet/bg.gif" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" tracingsrc="colorSchemes/deptSet/top.jpg">

Here is the entire top part of the document..

Code:
<html>
<head>
   <title>City of Fort Bragg, Ca. - PUBLIC WORKS</title>
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
   <style type="text/css" media="screen">
      <!--
          __at__ import url("/css/styles.css");
         body       { background-color: #648b79; background-image: url(/colorSchemes/deptSet/bg.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; margin: 0 }
         #TableAtTop { background-image: url(/colorSchemes/deptSet/top.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat }
         #content   { background-color: #fff; background-image: url("(EmptyReference!)"); visibility: visible; position: absolute; top: 128px; left: 10px; width: 580px }
         #navbar { visibility: visible; position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 590px; width: 180px }

         #id_publicworks { color: #fff; background-color: #4f4b45; padding: 2px }
      -->
   </style>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/menu/milonic_src1.js"></script>   
   <script   type="text/javascript">
      if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=/scripts/menu/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");      
      else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=/scripts/menu/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
   </script>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/menu/menu_data.js"></script>   
   <script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/menu/preloadmenuimages.js"></script>

</head>
<body onLoad="popup('TopDepartments');" background="/colorSchemes/deptSet/bg.gif" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" tracingsrc="colorSchemes/deptSet/top.jpg">


The link that calls the page looks like this..
Code:
<a href="/pages/departments/publicworks.lasso?dptCall=TopDepartments"><span id="id_publicworks">Public Works</span>


Because of the extra path info, i.e. ?dptCall=TopDepartments, the "pagematch" operator is needed.

I entered pagematch below, see line 189, but it doesn't work..

I also tried it with an exact matching url string..
Code:
// Sub to "Main Menue" are the five main departments
with(milonic=new menuname("TopDepartments")){
style=TopSubOneMainMenuStyle;
top=92;
screenposition="left";

aI("openonclick=1;text=Police<br>Dept;showmenu=TopPoliceDept;");
aI("openonclick=1;text=Finance;showmenu=TopFinance;");
}


It still doesn't work :|

Just for a bit of clarification..

I created the <body onLoad="popup('TopDepartments');" part because I want to be able to click a link (in the page-right side) menu - which is not a milonic menu, by the way - to load the page as if it were obtained by traversing a milonic menu.

In other words, GOTO the following page..
http://fbcity.securesitehosts.com/pages/departments/publicworks.lasso

You'll notice that at the top of the page that the milonic menu's "Departments" element is highlighted. Clicking on it will show that the milonic sub-menu's "Public Works" item is also highlighted.

Now, look on the right side of the page, find the link that says "Public Works" there, it's highlighted too, but it is not a milonic menu this time.

If you click on it, it will take you to..
http://fbcity.securesitehosts.com/pages/departments/publicworks.lasso?dptCall=TopDepartments

The milonic sub-menu opens because I put the onLoad="popup('TopDepartments');" in the body tag; but, now the highlighting doesn't work.

That is why I'm trying to use "pagematch".
Can this be done, I wonder?

I'm not really sure about all the .lasso? but have you tried setting the pagematch to pagematch=/pages/departments/

No matter, it has absolutly nothing to do with the problem. The only reason I even mentioned it was to paint a complete picture for you.

Quote:

That made no difference.
I would be surprized if it had, since there are other pages in /departments/ besides publicworks.lasso; and how would it know that that was the specific page I was currently on? - which is the point of pagematch ;) and why I need it here to begin with.

Me thinks that pagematch no workie.
By the way, we either have just, or are just about to pay for some licenses. Not in my name however; my employer Sage Statham is the guy placing the order. I thought I'd mention it since y'all have been real great at answering all me questions.

Anyway, back to the problem at hand..
I wonder if the <body onLoad="popup('TopDepartments');" part isn't preventing the pagematch from working somehow?

What do you think?

Thanks,
-Tim

Actually, it would work by having the pagematch match a directory. It would be much easier to layout with an image:

Code:
directory structure: /pages/departments/
aI string : aI(text=whatever;url=pages/departments/whatever.page;pagematch=/pages/departments/";);


When you open whatever.page in the /pages/department/ the menu will highlight because the pagematch is to the directory /pages/departments/, if you have links on the whatever.page, and they open pages that are in the /pages/departments/ then the menu will continue to be highlighted, because the highlighting was set to match the directory. Therefore, since you have the page publicworks.lasso loaded from the /pages/departments/ when you click a link on that page if the link opens a page from the same directory, the highlight should remain.

I notice you don't have pagematch in the ("TopPublicWorks') menu in the aI string for the Public Works link, you might put one there and see if that helps.

What you're saying is I'm sure true, although I did try it as you sugested and I could not get it to work; but it's not what I want to do anyway - perhaps I haven't stated my goal effectevly..

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words :P

Image
..the links on the right part of the page, which are not Milonic related, I want these to cause the Milanic Menus illustrated in the animation to highlight depending on the link clicked on the right.

    If I click "Public Works" on the right, I would want to see the "Departments" and "Public Works" highlighted at the top.

    If I click the "Human Resources" link on the right, I want to see "Departments" and "Human Resources" highlighted at the top, etc.


..by the way.. "Human Resources", "Public Works", "City Clerk", "City Council", "Community Development", "Police" and "Finance" are all inside the /pages/departments/ directory..

What you have suggested means that no matter which of these pages are loaded, because they're in the same directory together, "Departments" will highlight in all cases when one of them gets clicked.

That (unfortunately) is only half the solution; as I need the proper highlighting one level deeper to show up at the same time, i.e.: my example discussed above.

Do you think this is even possible?
So far I have not seen any evedance that more than one menu can be opened through the "popup" (JS) function - which sugests that in this kind of case, where I need to show page-related highlighting at two adjacent levels simultaniously - may not be possible either. :?:

This kind'a relates to another question I posted about opening a cascade of menues through a single click - no one answered that one at all; perhaps it's just too far out of the box.

If it is, I am sorry to belabor the point so emphatically.
I just want to know if it can be done - or, if perhaps it's somewhere in the works to the best of your knowledge?

Thanks again for putting up with me.

Well, the only way I can think that possibility will work is to have you put the various pages in their own downlevel directory and then in the aI string that would open that page you'd place your pagematch= code.

/pages/departments/ and under that would be directories for each department. Then in the links to open the various pages you would place the pagematch=/pages/departments/clerk/ or /pages/departments/council/ and so on for whatever department. Each of those would then match when any page was opened in that directory. For example, if you open the council main page, any link from that page to one that is in /pages/departments/council folder should give you the highlight on departments/council.

Thanks Ruth.
I might try that; but the more I look into it the more it looks like my idea is beyond the scope of the Milonic Menu system at its current level of development.

Milonic is such a wonderful thing that I just figured there would be a way, if only I could clarify my needs properly. Perhaps one day you will add this specific ability to what is obviously one of the most incredible developer tools to come around in a long long time.

Thanks for trying to help me find a work around.
I will probably just let it go now, unless you have any other ideas on the matter yourself?

To summarize: I think that the "popup()" functionality and the "pagematch" functionality are mutually incompatable in their "current" incarnations. It also appears that there is not any easy way to "popup()" a chain of contiguous menus from a single click within an external link.

Well, the links at the right are not related to the Milonic menu, so I'm not really sure how pagematching would work with them except when using it as a match to a directory structure as I mentioned. Unless you can figure a way to make the links read the menu pagematching function and use it. But, I don't know programs nor functions.

Hi Tim,
I asked about the pagematch because it does work with links using the directory structure as I mention so there should be a way to do this. Again, I am not a real knowledgeable person, so I don't know what all the publicworks.lasso?dptCall=TopDepartments is, but the suggestion was made that you try pagematch=/pages/departments/publicworks.lasso?dptCall=TopDepartments and see if that would do it. I'm not sure. If that fails, I suggest you set the url in the menu to the same as the html link at the right.

Ruth

Hi Tim,

Ruth's suggestion should at least test whether the pagematch feature will actually match such a url. If it won't match the entire url, then something else is amiss. That'll at least get us a little further down the road diagnostically.

Kevin

EDIT: Oops... :oops: I just saw here that you already tried that and it didn't work. Sorry about that. This post is getting so long that it's hard to keep track of what's going on.

Back to the drawing board...


Poster: Maestro
Dated: Saturday January 22 2005 - 10:24:41 GMT

I figured it out, and the answer to at least half of my request is actually quite simple. But first, your question..
Quote:

Not using pagematch, no, ..not when onLoad="popup('TopDepartments');" is used in the <body> tag.
But, pagematch (it turns out) isn't necessary this time.
By (instead) following Ruth's suggestion but incorporating it into a lasso function, well then - the intrinsic pagematch does work.

Of course, it could just as easily have been done entirely in javascript; but I am more proficient using lasso. Any scripting analog that can parse tokens (that is.. variables) in the page which get parsed into their actual value before the page finishes loading will work!

My solution takes two parts:
-Because I want to generate a single open sub-menu via a non-milonic link (on the same page), 'with' the (milonic-ish-like) added benefit that normally results when users click their way through the Milonic Menue system leaving a breadcrum-like trail of highlights to visually remind them (the visitor/site user) of the navigation steps they followed to get there in the first place.. I
1. Created this very simple lasso function that asks "if the url of the submitted page contains '/documents/'"
set a variable to the literal text string
Code:
" onLoad=\"popup('TopDepartments');\""

And then..
Since lasso code is processed server-side, before the rest of the page is read by the browser (client-side), -that variable would otherwise be null, by the way- I simply insert the var immediately after the BODY word;
like this..
Code:
<body$theVariable


The end result gives me a two tiered (top and secondary) highlighted Milonic Menu, set from clicking a link calling (back to) the same page.

Obfuscated, isn't it? 8O

The reason for all this obsucation is because there just doesn't seem to be a purely Melonic way to do this otherwise.


Poster: Maestro

The great thing though, is that without Milonic Menus all this would have taken a lot of custom lasso (or whatever) code to accomplish - too much work, really; but now it can be done - ubiquitously in fact.

Thank you.
