Recent Questions

Q: I am not professional website developer … I’ve installed your trial software … but not able to add navigation menu tree in my website. Can you please guide me how I can add tree menus in left side bar of website?

A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial yet.
We'll try to create it in the nearest time.

1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu you like in Deluxe Tuner.

You can use ready to use templates. You can find them in the templateswindow.

When you open Deluxe Tuner ( Deluxe Tree ) 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
http://www.deluxe-tree.com/parameters-info.html

You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems.

2. You should install the tree menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML.

Add several rows into your html page.

<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Tree -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var tWorkPath="deluxe-tree.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tree.files/dtree.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006 - 2007, http://deluxe-tree.com -->
...
</head>

<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data-tree.js"></script> </td></tr> //data-tree.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
</table>
...
</body>

You should also copy all engine files
dtree.js - menu engine file
dtree_add.js - additional module for floatable/movable menus
dtree_dyn.js - additional module with Javascript API to change the menu "on-the-fly"
dtree_ajax.js - additional module with the AJAX-like support

into "deluxe-tree.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index.html page.
Try that.



Q: A brief one on dynamic menu in the perspective of bilinguism

I understood from the tuner that a menu can be made dynamic (although it is somewhat minimally documented ;-))

Leaving alone all the beautiful sophisticated and complex mechanic of it

Say I have my main menu that says :
  var dynamic=1; (that's all I got from the doc ..)

And then

  var menuItems = [

["Choice 1 ","page1.php", "", "", "Choice 1",", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["Choice 2","page2.php", "", "", "Choice 2", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

Minimalist ? ;-) right ?

1/ first I'm not too sure about what exactly in order are these 11 parameters although I'm fine with the only 4 I have here

2/ if I would want to change on the fly menu javascript dropdown page on a PHP parameter Page1.php?lang=French (I perfectly master how to capture the PHP value)

So that My menu becomes on the fly

["Choix 1 ","page1.php", "", "", "Choix 1",", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Choix 2","page2.php", "", "", "Choix 2", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Thanks in advance if you can shed some light on this

PS : And although I used hardly 1% of deluxe capability my first customer is very happy about it..

A: Actually you can find all info about the menu javascript dropdown parameters and featureson our website:

- menu parameter and items, Individual Styles:

http://deluxe-menu.com/menu-items-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html

- dynamic functions:

To change the menu items on the fly you can use API functions
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)

Q: Thanks, we tried giving   var pressedItem=0; and the script as below:

<script type="text/javascript">
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0);
}
</script>

We are facing 2 problems

1) Two menus are getting highlighted, the "Home" and the dynamic html menu which is called onLoad using dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0); function)

2) The submenu of the dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0) is not getting highlighted.

A: Try to set
  var pressedItem=-2;

dm_ext_setPressedItem function has a following parameters:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion, parentOpen)

So, if you want to highlight item in the submenu you should use itemInd of this item (notitemInd of the parent item).

For example you want to highlight submenu item of the 'Manage Users' parent item with
itemInd=15.
You can find more info about dynamic html menu indexes here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind

So you should write the function in the following way:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (0, 3, 15, 1, 1)

menuInd = 0 if you have only one menu on the page
submenuInd = 3, see how to determine submenuInd in the table

http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
itemInd = 15, see how to determine itemInd in the table

http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
recursion = 1, to highlight parent items
parentOpen = 1, to open the submenu with the selected item.

Q: Could you also tell me where I should place the images I wish to use in the menu, eg arrows. When I select an image to use they are not appearing in the preview, or when I launch deluxe-menu.html?

A: Please, check images paths within data .js file.
For example, if you have data.js file here:

c:/website/data.js

and your images are stored here:

c:/website/images/

you should set image name so (for example):

  var arrowImageMain = ["images/arrow1.gif", "images/arrow2.gif"];

If you use Tuner, you should save data .js file before you'll selectimages. When you save .js file it means that you set a root directoryfor the project, so Tuner can make all selected images with relativepaths.
