Just upgraded to 5.3 Build 908 every time we open all web menus we get a message saying incompatible version of Server-Side API is installed, where do we get the latest version,

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello,

This sounds as if the Server-Side API dll was not properly removed, possibly because it was locked by windows.

Please try uninstalling AllWebMenus and then installing again. Let me know if this fixed the problem.

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.

I have followed your step by step guide but for some reason the menu won't populate I am unsure what the problem is here is the web page I followed http://www.likno.com/addins/dhtml-menu-serverside-example.html it just wont work for me.

Hello again,

I checked your page and it seems the problem is in your generated code. Specifically you need to encode the single quotes:

I was wondering could it be a write issue I noticed the Javascript has a document.write command where does it make the menu seen as it probably needs write access.  Its the only thing I can think of.

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Well, I guess you have more than one quote, which is why I suggested that you should encode anything that comes from your DB:

Please have a better look in your code and if all quote occurrences are removed and you still have a problem, let me know.

I have one more question is it possible to have the link goto a target frame such as a target="I1" or is that done on the hidden level? Or not possible?

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello again,

Yes it is. Just add the corresponding property after the item

subItem=subMenu.newItem('style=sub_item_plus_style;text0=PIE CRUST;url=recipes.php?recordID=3');

subItem.targetframe="I1";

you should also be able to achieve the same thing in one line:

subItem=subMenu.newItem('style=sub_item_plus_style;text0=PIE CRUST;url=recipes.php?recordID=3;targetframe=I1');

If you have not already done so, I suggest that you read the documentation on the Server-Side API which can be found in the AllWebMenus installation folder under:

AllWebMenus5/AddIns/ServerSideMenus/Server-Side_Menus_API_Help.pdf

I searched your website for this info and could not find it.

can you enable / disable a menu item using javascript?

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello,

I am afraid that this is not possible. At least not without a page refresh.

You can use JavaScript code to build a menu (utilizing the Server-Side API) so in a sense when the page loads you can build the menu with or without a specific item (or with a disabled item). You cannot however change the menu at runtime once it is generated.
