Q: I have a issue involving the location of the files.
What is the correct method of referencing the webroot (document root) in the deluxe tuner?
I ask because I have some pages that are in a sub folder on the server.
eg. index page is http://www.domain.com/index.html
but another page might be at
http://www.domain.com/somedir/somepage.html
And then the references do not work.
Currently I am editing the data.js file after saving it in deluxe tuner.
A: If you want to use relative paths you should write your links in thefollowing way.
If you have, for example such file structure:
deluxe-menu_files/
dmenu.js
data.js
images/
html_pages/
page1.html
page2.html
index.html
So, you should write write all your paths concerning index.html file.
For example, you paths will be:
["HOME","html_pages/page1.html", , , , "_self", "-1", , , ],
["ABOUT US","html_pages/page2.html", , , , , , , , ],
Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner can't do it automatically. You shouldcorrect your paths manually.
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: Hello, Could you please help me with an alignnment issue with my website. If you go to mt website you will see the problem. I set the x alignment to=266 but the y alignment is left blank because I would like to keep the menu centered on the site.
A: If you want to center the menu paste itwithin the <div> or <table> with a static position and specify a center alignment for it, for example:
<DIV align=center>
<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
Please, set exact value for var menuWidth parameter, for example:
var menuWidth = "300px";
This can help to align your menu correctly in all browsers.
Try also to specify units in "px".
Set also:
var absolutePos = 0;
Try that.
Q: I am still struggling with multiple menus on one page.
It is probably something I am doing wrong, but I cannot see it.
A: Now you have:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="10";
var posY="10";
So, both of your menus have the same absolute position.
You can use relative position and place your menu inside <table>. In this case you should write so:
var absolutePos=0;
Q: Thank you for your prompt reply. But i was wondering where should I paste this code? Can you please explain the working of the javascript toolbar menu function
dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
I have 5 items in the javascript toolbar menu : Admin Options, Status Report, Remarks, Edit Profile, Data Entry.
I want to disable some fields for different users.
I have 3 role id's set in my database.
I want certain fields disabled for different users.
For eg : For Roleid =1 , i.e admin , I want all items to be visible.
For Roleid =2 , i dont want the Admin Options to be visible.
For Roleid=3 , I dont want Admin Options & Status reports.
Can you please elaborate on the working of the changeItemVisibility function. I was confused as there were no examples to demonstrate the code.
A: Notice also that you should set
var dynamic=1;
parameter to use API functions.
