Initial Email Subject: Web Modal Windows Builder - Auto close the modal window 
Support Case Month: March 2013

Would it be possible to setup in the application to either auto close the modal window after the specified # of seconds otherwise the user can click the Close icon before # of seconds elapsed?

I mean that it needs to work with "Make certain links/forms in page open in this window". Basically the link runs a php script with a dynamic id value (favorites.php?action=add&id=#) and returns a result message (error/success/login) in the modal window as an alert. I want this modal window to dismiss automatically after 5 seconds or the user can click on the close icon.
Thanks

Hmmm… this is not officially supported, however you can do this with custom code.

Specifically you can add some JavaScript code to call the “close” command after 5 seconds. If the Modal is already closed, nothing will happen.

On your link try adding something like:

<a … onclick="setTimeout(function () {likno_modal_project.close();},5000);">

Hi Kostas,

I am pleased with the scroller that’s currently on {URL REMOVED} but need to change it from internal assets to an external xml file.

I have looked through your help section but can’t find anything that gives me any information on how to construct the xml file.

As you will see the scroller is used by an Estate Agent, so, being currently based on internal assets I have to continually amend the individual details of the frequently changing properties. I would like to automate this process, so I would guess that an xml file is the way to go.

I could perhaps arrange for an xml file to be constructed from the property database that the Estate Agent uses. The problem is that I don’t know how to write the xml file so that the scroller will display the information correctly. If I could see an example of an xml file, perhaps one that would give us a scroller that looks like the current one on the website with just 2 or 3 properties, I can then see what we need to do.

Are you able to help?

Kind regards,
Alec

Dear Alec,

I believe the best way to go would be to use the “DIVs” population method:

This way you will have the actual content inside your page, which will enhance SEO, and you can still generate it dynamically from a database.

If you go to your current project, change it to “DIVs” and go to the Sample Code tab (F4) you will see exactly what you need to add into your page for this to work.

Let me know if you need any specific help with the implementation.

Best Regards,
Kostas

Hi Likno,
What about support for "EZGenerator"  webbuilder program, authoring tools ?
Thanks,
Frans

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Dear Frans,

I am afraid that we do not have a plugin specifically for EZGenerator.

Nonetheless, AllWebMenus is very flexible and supports 99% of the builders out there (even if we do not know about them).

The minimum requirements are:

1) You must be able to add custom HTML code into your page (copy-paste from AllWebMenus)

2) You must be able to upload into your site the compiled files (JS & image) generated by AllWebMenus

For a full list of supported tools, please have a look here:

http://www.likno.com/web_authoring_tools.html

and for the generic instructions that will most likely cover EZGenerator, have a look here:

Initial Email Subject: Produce likno WordPress menu on other site
Support Case Month: March 2013

Hi,

My wordpress install is at {URL REMOVED}. The menu is dynamically created in wordpress admin area. What i want to do is also put the wordpress menu on my subdomain as well at webmail.{URL REMOVED}. This subdomain uses a different IP address. I want the menu to dynamically update on webmail.{URL REMOVED} when i make changes in {URL REMOVED}. I have the ability to allow external mysql connections. Can you please help me with the code & how & where i should place them as i am a noob at this.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much

Regards,
Su

Dear Su,

Is this subdomain part of the same WordPress installation? If so, then you should be able to create an AllWebMenus menu that uses the same population.

If not, then I think the easiest way would be to create a custom WordPress page that will only have the menu and include this in your subdomain pages.

Alternatively, the only way to access the external MySQL would be to use the Server-Side API and write your own code to read the database and create the menu, but this requires advanced coding skills.

Hi,

Yes this subdomain is part of the of the main wordpress installation. WordPress is installed at root of {URL REMOVED} with IP {IP REMOVED} but webmail.{URL REMOVED} where I want to put the menu in a php application is located on IP {IP REMOVED}. Can this be achieved?

Su

Dear Su,

The menu does not have a domain restriction, so this should not be a problem.

Hi,

Thank you for that info but I'm still stuck as to how to implement this.

Dear Su,

I am not familiar with multi-domain  if it is the same WordPress installation I don’t see what the problem is?

I guess you can use the same AllWebMenus menu that you have setup for your current site.

If not, then you can create a second menu with the exact same population parameters, or pointing to the same WordPress menu. This way when you add a page both menus will be updated.

Initial Email Subject:cannot add Facebook 'Like' Button
Support Case Month: February 2013

My client has asked that I put a 'like' button on her navigation.  She has one left and one bottom set of navigation buttons.  I went to facebook and they handed me code but when I try to put it in the menu, the 'like' button does not show - tried just about every way I could think of.  there is nothing in the help that helps. 

Here is all the code given to me by Facebook: have no idea and do not want to put in each and every page on the site if I can add to menu.

<div id="fb-root"></div>

<script>(function(d, s, id) {

  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];

  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;

  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;

  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";

  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);

}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

<div class="fb-like" data-href="{URL REMOVED}" data-send="false" data-width="120" data-show-faces="true" data-font="arial"></div>

<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href="{URL REMOVED}" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello,

Please try the following:

<iframe src="{URL REMOVED}" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:180px; height:30px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

But make sure that you turn your menu item into the “Full HTML” mode:
