Support Case Month: March 2014

I created a dynamic menu for Joomla with the menu positioned by  a div element (#page). The menu displays correctly in Firefox 27.0.1, IE 9 but not in Chrome. It displays about 28px higher than where it needs to be. I also tried to position relative to a image with the same results. Help!

Hello Steve,

Please, remove that specific offset Y for the Chrome.Watch movie online The Transporter Refueled (2015)

Then, re-compile your menu project and re-upload the produced files to your server.

Please, let me know how that worked for you.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Initial Email Subject: Using an asp.net form in a mega menu
Support Case Month: July 2013

Hi Kostas

I have a new support request, but linked to this previous one (below).

I would like to create dynamic mega menus using a UL/LI structure generated by ASP.

Our menu format uses 5 columns created by a div structure. The attached txt file shows the full html version which works with AWM but is not dynamic. 

We can replace the existing links with UL/LI structures, but I expect that to achieve a controlled 5 column layout we would need 5 separate UL/LI structures (one per div). 

Is this going to work?!

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
John

Hello John,

If you need to use 5 DIVs then the answer is yes, you would need 5 different menus which is not the best solution.

Why don't you use one div that holds the whole ul/li structure for your menu?

Check the AllWebMenus sample ul/li structure to get an idea how the menu is populated in ul/li.

Let me know if you need more information.

Thank you!

Kind Regards,

Initial Email Subject: Issue with AllWebMenus and WordPress
Support Case Month: May 2013

Hi, there.  I'm having an issue with AllWebMenus and WordPress of which I cannot figure out.

I have a working menu built in AllWebMenus and I've linked it to my WordPress site. 

For the AWM plugin settings in WordPress I've set my Menu Type to "Dynamic" and I've created a Menu in the WP dashboard and assigned that menu in the AWM plugin settings.

I've pasted the Menu Structure Code generated by the plugin into desktop application.

Basically everything is working fine, in that I see my menu, my menu is truly dynamic, and I can add menu items in WordPress and they appear as expected.

My issue has to do with the background images I'm using for my menu items.

All of my menu items have the same background image, except for three of them.

In the desktop app in the style editor I've given my menu items Main Items Style this background image:  "tab.png".

And that works.

But for the three items that I want to have a different background image, I've selected "custom values" on the Menu Editor side, and assigned a background image of "tab-arrow.png" to those three buttons, like this:

In the app Menu Preview the graphic looks correct, in that for those three buttons it shows the alternate background image.

However when I compile my menu, go back to WordPress and import it, my buttons that have a different background image assigned to them never show the alternate background image.  They will only show the background image assigned to the Main Items Style group.

Here is how it should look (notice that Articles, Products & Programs, and Services have a different graphic with an arrow):

And this is how it compiles and imports into WordPress (graphic does not appear.:

Anyway, I hope that makes sense.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Randy

Dear Randy,

I am afraid that customizations are not supported when you are using a dynamic WordPress menu. As you already found out, any customizations that you use will simply be ignored online. This is because the menu cannot be certain that the item you see locally will indeed exist online.

Still, if I understand correctly, these are the only items that have a submenu, right? If so, then you can add your extra image as a “has submenu” image, which is a standard style option and will be applied to items that indeed have a submenu:

Initial Email Subject: set target for a dynamic generated menu...
Support Case Month: April 2012

Hello from Switzerland,

Here a short example (running) on my actual Project.

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=EXAMPLE;url=../../main/main.aspx;');

Now I want to control the "target link" property using like url but I found no description about this.
like this (and sure... not working 🙂

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=EXAMPLE;url=../../main/main.aspx;link=_blank');

Maybe you can give me here some help.

Thanks.
Ernesto

Dear Ernesto,

The name is “target” instead of “link”, so the code should be like:

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=EXAMPLE;url=../../main/main.aspx;target=_blank');

Hello Kostas,
thanks for the short replay.
I used this statement now:

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=HOME;url=../../main/main.aspx;target=_blank');

Tests in IE or Opera... but, it is not working.
Some Idea about.

Thanks,
Ernesto

Dear Ernesto,

Can you please try the following code instead?

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=HOME;url=../../main/main.aspx;targetframe=new');

Hello Kostas,
ah, ok! This now is opening the content in a new register.
🙂 So this is a interesting option for us. 🙂
But, if you still have a new idea about how to open it in a
completely new "browser" window so thanks for the help again... 
If not.... so we will use this solution.
Thanks.
BR, Ernesto

Dear Ernesto,

The only way to open it in a completely new window (the equivalent of “_blank” within the application) is to add this as a script:

mainItem = awm_M0.newItem("style=menu_main_item_style;itemid=0;text0=Home");

mainItem.script2 = "window.open('/main/main.aspx,'test','toolbar=yes, status=yes, scrollbars=yes, location=yes, fullscreen=no, menubar=yes, resizable=yes, height=600, width=500');";

Initial Email From: User
Initial Email Subject: Mega drop Down and Joomfish
Support Case Month: December 2012

Hello,

First I want to thank your help on the Mega Drop Down menu of the page in reference. However I haven't finished yet...

1. The About Us Item should have a different width than the other two, but when I do so the webpage and the preview image of the application show me the right width once and then it drops a lighter shadow to match the width of the other two menu items Go Dive and Go Pro (right now is set with the same width than the other two)

2. As you know/notice I'm working with a joomla platform and this site is going to be bilingual, thus I'm using joomfish.... usually I do have problems translating menu because I use Dynamic menu type, but this one I'm using is Static... So in order to add the AW Menu to joomfish I need an .xml file of the component... can you help me? Thanks in advance.

Hello again,

1) If you send me the menu I can check what’s wrong and tell you how to fix it.

2) I am afraid that this is not possible. If you are using a static menu, then you need to simply have a separate menu for each language. You can then use the menu component to specify in which pages each menu should appear.
