Drop Down Menu System

[Michael Morris]

The drop down menu system I would like to extrapolate to the whole site is ready for implementation. If you wish to have this installed to your site I can add it in about 20 minutes. You can remove the menus at will.

If you wish to add this menu bar I will need to switch two of Post Nuke's files - I can do this with the FTP access I already have. Those files are header.php and footer.php. In addition to changing those two files the following files will be added to the root directory of your site. Those files and their purpose are as follows:

topmenu.js - The javascript that creates the menu
titlebar.gif - the image of the bar.
_menubody.php - The image map that links bar to the drop down menus.
arrows.gif - Used by the menu system.
_old_header.php - The original header. If you wish to uninstall the drop down menus delete the new header and rename this file as "header.php"
_old_footer.php - The original footer. If you wish to uninstall the drop down menus delete the new footer and rename this file as "footer.php"

You may need to add blank space to the top of the image files in your header to space shift the page out from under the titlebar. I won't know if that is necessary until after the initial install.

Hi,

What would this apply to? The web site? The T13K forums section here at EN World? And - do you have a URL with an example of this in action?

Thanks!

This installation would go on the website. I'm trying to figure out how to add them to as well the forums as well, but it might be awhile before I pull that off. Currently the block is on the Dusk site and on the draft of the ENPublishing site

Hi,

Sadly, the URL you have is no longer accurate (I've emailed and posted to try to get it changed before, but guess I didn't try hard enough.)

The new site can be found at the URL www.the13kingdoms.org. It is postnuke, which may make your block easier or more difficult to install. Is it still possible?

The menu is super slick, though - very cool!

Zip up the header.php and footer.php files from your site and then I'll post the changed versions here. You will need to change your heading module to something that provides about 30 pixels of space at the top of the screen, otherwise the menu bar will cover your heading.

I added your site's daughter forumns, but if you guys come up with more I don't think there will be room (there isn't any room on 800x600 as is)

Okay, I have the header and footer saved and zipped... Now what?

Also - for the T13K forums you could just use http://www.enworld.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=69 without any sub-forums. Simpler But of course that's up to you, I don't mind either way.

Attach them here (look down and see the Manage Attachments?? *.zip is a valid attachment type )

Here they are! Didn't even know about that... Thanks

Ok, here's the code. Install it to the root of your site. If you get an error message send it to me and restore the header_old and footer_old files to being the normal header & footer files.
