Q: Could you please tel me : How to use UN-Code on the item. I make some menu based on Farsi language ( Arabic) , but it does not work.
A: You're able to use any characters for Deluxe Menu in the same way asyou use them for standard html page.
The only issue is that submenus can be shown in incorrect positionwhen you're using dir=rtl for your page.
var dmRTL = 0;
Set this parameter to 1 if you're using right-to-left direction of html page <HTML dir=rtl>.
Use also
var smViewType = 2;
for right-to-left languages.
Please, see example:
http://deluxe-menu.com/ways-showing-submenus-sample.html
This examples demonstrates how the menu can change a submenusdirection. Use var smViewType parameter to change a submenusdirection:
var smViewType = 0..3;
Values:
0 - from left to right;
1 - from left to right + upwards;
2 - from right to left;
3 - from right to left + upwards;
In Deluxe Menu when you call data .js file you can try to specify the encoding:
<script src="data.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Unfortunately, you can't use arabic characters in Deluxe Tuner application.
You should manually correct your code.
Q: It seems that if I try and use the syntax ["| with some HTML such as <DIV class = 'myclass'> inside dropdown menu it IGNORES the HTML and just treats it like another link.
But if I don't start the line with ["| ..... Then I get a syntax error.
For example:
I am trying to place 4 links in a square shape in the top left of my screen. To do this I was going to create DIV's and set the TOP and LEFT to different values from within a loop (I left out the code that does the updating for myleft and mytop...)
var menuItems = [
<loop>
["|<div style='position: absolute; left: <cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "", "", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
<end loop>
];
What am I doing wrong here?.... Can you show me how to accomplish this task?
A: No, this syntax is incorrect. It won't work.
var menuItems = [
<loop>
["|<div style='position: absolute; left: <cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "","", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],<end loop>
];
You should have <div> ... </div> tags in each dropdown menu item!
It is not correctly to write <div> ... </div> tags for wholesubmenu.
var menuItems = [
["|<div style='position: absolute; left:<cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>text</div>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "","", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["| ","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
];
Q: When I stay on one page (for example "Home") аlso must have the menu-point "home" another color or font. How can I make this?
A: You should set pressed item.
Please, check the following parameter
var pressedItem=-2;
This parameter sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-menu.
Deluxe Menu v2.4 has only two states normal and mouseover. Now we'repreparing new version of Deluxe Menu. It saves it state after thereloading of the page. We're planing to release a new version during a month.
You can set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
You can also set the correct
var pressedItem=1;
parameter on each html page.
Q: However,I am trying to create a menu like<http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp3.html> and amfrustrated.
Where can I get a template or instructions on which parameters I ammisunderstanding in deluxe tuner?
I want a menu with the expandable + signs on the left which will expandon rollover and allow only one to be expanded at the same time.
A: You should set the following parameters
var texpandItemClick = 1;
var tcloseExpanded = 1;
var tcloseExpandedXP = 1;
Try to do it in the new Deluxe Tuner beta version. We've fixed somebugs with these parameters in the new version.
