Q: How do I get started with Deluxe Menu? Do you have a link with instructions?
I designed my own website with DreamWeaver 8.0 ( www.lesvants.com ) but don't have a clue as to how to start designing with your product.
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now. We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.
Deluxe Menus weren't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-tree.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
It is possible that Dreamweaver changes some paths, so you havean error in the preview.
On your site or in your browser there'll be no errors.
Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application
.You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
Please, try to download trial package once again. We added alltemplates in Deluxe Tuner Templates window.
Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner doesn't copy all need images forVista Template into your folder. You should do it manually.After you create your menu in Deluxe Tuner you should copy all images youneed for the menu into your folder and correct images paths.You should set the following parameter
var pathPrefix_img="";
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
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
Try that.
Q: What I try to make is a menu dhtml with items having a border of only 1 px, also between the menu items. However it seems that Deluxe menu draws a 1 px line around every menu item giving an effective border line of 2 px between the area where the items touch each other. I want to have 1 px border also on the areas where the items touch each other.
Any suggestion how to fix this?
A: If you want to have the 1px border between the items only you canuse separators.
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="1";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="";
You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Q: Just wondering if you could help.I wish to put a script java menu on every page of my site - through all the folders etc.
How do I set it so that they all 'feed' from the same dmenu.js file?
How do I set the file path to that file from all pages of my website?
A: 1) How do I set it so that they all 'feed' from the same dmenu.js file?
You should use absolute path here:
1. Paste the following code into a tag of your page:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "http://site.com/menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://site.com/menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2009, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
2. Paste the following code where you want to have the menu:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://site.com/menudir/data.js"></script>
2) How do I set the file path to that file from all pages of my website?
If you don't want to create your menu on each page, you can try to useframes, the menu has a cross-frame mode.
Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
