Q: I place all of my files in folders. If I want the Deluxe menu to work I have to have the Deluxe menu saved in each folder for it to work with the files inside those folders.
A: There is no need to copy al files for the menu in each folder.
To install the menu you can use such paths:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "../menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
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: 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 down vertical menu items? 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?
Thanks for your help. I just love your deluxe items.
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.
Deluxe Tuner v2.4 supports Deluxe Menu (http://deluxe-menu.com) &Deluxe Tree (http://deluxe-tree.com) & Deluxe Tabs (http://deluxe-tabs.com)
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
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
Q: I made my own multi-users Content Management System and I'm using deluxe menu developer license to create my menu into this application.
One dhtml menu vertical constantly need to be reload to see new page created/modified or deleted by other logged users. So I just take out your code for Ajax sample to fill dynamically this submenu.
There is my .js file fort my menu : mnu_admin.zip (You'll need to extract the .js file)
In this file I'm using the same way it goe's into your example with Ajax on line : [172] ["Contenu pages","", "", "", "Gйrer les pages du site", "", "0", "0", "modules/menu/data-ajax3.js", ],
There is my : data-ajax3.js (periodically change)
var menuItems = [
["|Services", "contenu_pages_a.php?id=HMglcKWvAQklxw4uM3qHWa9pFhY432dZNIXOIlYNJO4%3D", "", "", "Services", "", "", "", ""],

];
Another user just delete differents pages so the data_ajax3.js change to this (example) :
var menuItems = [
["|Services","contenu_pages_a.php?id=HMglcKWvAQklxw4uM3qHWa9pFhY432dZNIXOIlYNJO4%3D", "","", "Services", "", "", "", ""],
["|Documentation", "contenu_pages_a.php?id=iG31PyfJ%2BswDBJPcn61IXgczwXkePaDclD6DPsxAUKE%3D", "", "", "Documentation", "", "", "", ""],
["|Soutien financier", "contenu_pages_a.php?id=tIACTxYwfsey%2FBGr0ROjAXGggU3LdglWtxMTyTVINtU%3D", "", "", "Soutien financier", "", "", "", ""],

Trouble :
When I go over "Contenu pages" menu, the submenu won't reload and still show me the new submenu with upper content (With "Qui sommes-nous"). I need to completely refresh the page and sometime to delete browser CACHE.
What I want to do :
I want to get submenu completely reload everytime I pass over "Contenu pages" dhtml menu vertical with the mouse.
Tested Browser :
IE6 and FF3
A: Try to set the following parameter to reload submenus on recall:
var ajaxReload=1;
Q: Tell us javascript code to select or highlight the tab and sub tab in javascript tabs navigation.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
