Q: I think that your product is great makes everything look nice and professional with the drop down menu Items. My question is I have certain menu Items that I will need to disable at certain times. I do this now using a standard button and grabbing my parameters from an SQL database. Is there a way for me to basically pull which menu items I need disabled and present the customized menu for each client. I have read that your product has this ability I was looking for a little guidance or maybee a write up on someone that has done this.
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature.
You should write your own code, for example, on PHP.
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(1, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
The example you can find on our site
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html
Please, see the source code on this page.
Q: In IE7 I see the deluxe-menu.com link on the top and no javascript navigation menu on my page.
A: Your browser has JavaScript option disabled.
It means that no one JavaScript element can be run.
You should to enable JavaScript in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level... -> Scripting -> Active Scripting = Enable
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in other
case there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all your
links (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2</a&tg;
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: I am trying to evaluate the trial version of deluxepopup window.
The script popup works great but I am having a specific requirement of making it amodal window; i.e. when the popup is opened, users shouldn't be allowed to access the main page. Please let me know how to make this happen.
Appreciate your quick response on this.
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to create modal window using Deluxe Popup Window.It doesn't have such a feature now.
We'll try to add this feature in the next versions.
Q: I have another question:
Menu behavior in SAFARI is does not properly work compared to EXPLORER.
If you have a look at the site via SAFARI, please do the following:
Example:
Under menu "Projets" select "par pays" then "Afrique" then "Algerie".
It will then show a left hand menu. Please select "2008/2010".
It will correctly show content.
Then if you try to select again via menu "Projets"; the html menu navigation does not show anymore the submenus. You still need to click a menu without submenus, like "News", and then afterwards you can click "Projets" and the system will again show submenus.
This strange behaviour does not appear in EXPLORER nor in FIREFOX.
A: The problem is in your frame structure after you open "Projets" select "par pays" then "Afrique" then "Algerie".
Your menu won't work correctly with such frame structure.
You should use the following frame structure for all pages at once:
--------------------------------------------------------
topFrame with the html menu navigation
--------------------------------------------------------
Algerie_leftFrame |
with | Algerie_mainFrame
Tree Menu |
--------------------------------------------------------
bottomFrame
--------------------------------------------------------
and write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 2, 0);
Or you shouldn't use Algerie_leftFrame and Algerie_mainFrame at all (use one mainFrame) and write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
