Q: I am interesting to use it for integration in some CMS I am currently using, as for instance : Xoops
1. Do you think that it is possible easily to integrate your menus with the xoops database content for the texts and links ?
2. Where links are they specified in the Deluxe Tuner interface
Thanks for your help
A: 1) Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Xoops extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application
(included into the trial package): http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Please, try the trial version.
2) You can assign link for each item. You can do it in "ItemParameter" window "Link" field.
Q: I’m interested in buying your products.
I have no experience in programming, only know html/php.
How easy would it be to set up these mouseover menus?
I understand your explanation of copying scripts into the relevant html pages.
But what about inserting the menus? Do I have to program them myself?
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now. We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
You can use ready to use templates. You can find them in the templateswindow.
When you open Deluxe Tuner ( Deluxe Menu ) you can click "File/New"
and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
(you can alsouse local version of the site which you can find in the trial package
"Deluxe Menu / deluxe-menu.com /")
http://deluxe-menu.com/parameters-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/menu-items-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems:
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
//data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script>
</td></tr>
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files:
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
dmenu_search.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder.
You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
Try that.Q: I need to use an iframe within the popup window.
Is there any way I can close the dhtml window from the page loaded within the iframe?
A: You can close the popup using the following function:
document.getElementById('win').hide();
Unfortunately it won't work if you use iframe as window content.
You open another page in the popup (in Iframe) so you cannot access
document.getElementById('win').hide();
element which is situated on the first page.
When you use text or object_id as window content the content of the popup will be situated
on the same page so you can access document.getElementById('win') element and hide it.
There is a workaround.
Use text as content type and add the following code inside popup:
<a onclick="document.getElementById('win').hide();">...</a><iframe></iframe>
Your link will work in that case.
Q: A brief one on dynamic menu in the perspective of bilinguism
I understood from the tuner that a menu can be made dynamic (although it is somewhat minimally documented ;-))
Leaving alone all the beautiful sophisticated and complex mechanic of it
Say I have my main menu that says :
var dynamic=1; (that's all I got from the doc ..)
And then
var menuItems = [
["Choice 1 ","page1.php", "", "", "Choice 1",", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Choice 2","page2.php", "", "", "Choice 2", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Minimalist ? ;-) right ?
1/ first I'm not too sure about what exactly in order are these 11 parameters although I'm fine with the only 4 I have here
2/ if I would want to change on the fly menu javascript dropdown page on a PHP parameter Page1.php?lang=French (I perfectly master how to capture the PHP value)
So that My menu becomes on the fly
["Choix 1 ","page1.php", "", "", "Choix 1",", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Choix 2","page2.php", "", "", "Choix 2", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Thanks in advance if you can shed some light on this
PS : And although I used hardly 1% of deluxe capability my first customer is very happy about it..
A: Actually you can find all info about the menu javascript dropdown parameters and featureson our website:
- menu parameter and items, Individual Styles:

To change the menu items on the fly you can use API functions
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
