Hi Flynn, as per a previous post: http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=1153

Ive just sent you a donation and would like you to do some work for me if possible?

I want to make my site www.myfacegraphics.com so that the MAIN categories show in the left hand menu, but SUB-categories show up as a flyout to the right.

Have bene looking at and trying to get working the multi-level navigation plugin, but to be honest just dont have the time or pateince with this :-) just need to get it so all sub-categories fly out the the right of main categories.

Thanks
Shaun

Try this and let's go from there. It will probably require some additional CSS. And I am not sure if the theme options and functions are available like this from inside a widget, perhaps not

Install the PHP code widget http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/ and put one instance of it into a sidebar

Into the widget put this

PHP Code:

<div id="menu2"><ul id="rmenu" class="clearfix rMenu-ver rMenu">
<?php bfa_hor_cats($bfa_ata['sorting_cat_menu_bar'], $bfa_ata['order_cat_menu_bar'], 
    $bfa_ata['levels_cat_menu_bar'], $bfa_ata['titles_cat_menu_bar'], $bfa_ata['exclude_cat_menu_bar']); ?>
</ul></div>

ok so at www.myfacegraphics.com Ive got it in the left hand menu.

I installed it into the left sidebar.

The instructions says to enclose it with php quotes.

tried it without first, just your code and there was nothing on the page apart from all the normal stuff.

So then added the <?php and ?> tags at start and end and got a parse error:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/wwwmyfa/public_html/wp-content/plugins/php-code-widget/execphp.php(37) : eval()'d code on line 2


(anything to do with echo statements?)

Remove %cats from Theme Options -> Header -> Configure Header Area if it's there

Put this into the PHP widget:

PHP Code:

<div id="menu2"><ul id="rmenu" class="clearfix rMenu-ver rMenu">
<?php wp_list_categories('title_li='); ?>
</ul></div>

At HTML/CSS Inserts -> CSS Insert, add

div#menu2 ul.rMenu-ver{ 
width:auto;
border:0;
}
div#menu2 ul.rMenu-ver ul {
width:11em;  /* width of submenus must be defined */
}
div#menu2 ul.rMenu-ver li {
margin: -1px 0 0 0;
}
div#menu2 ul.rMenu-ver ul {
margin: 1px 0 0 -1px;
}

For IE6, replace in header.php

PHP Code:

<?php if (strpos($bfa_ata['configure_header'],'cats')!==FALSE) { ?>sfHover( 'rmenu' );<?php } ?>

with

PHP Code:

 <?php if (strpos($bfa_ata['configure_header'],'cats')!==FALSE) { ?>sfHover( 'rmenu' );<?php } ?>
sfHover( 'rmenu' );

Adjust the colors of the menu at Theme Options -> Category Menu Bar.

This will not have down/right arrows.
The non-visual settings (levels, sorting order etc.) of Theme Options -> Category Menu Bar will not apply here. To configure the output you'd have to edit the code inside the widget:

wp_list_categories('title_li=&depth=0&orderby=name&order=ASC');

See http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_...ist_categories for more options

Ok that better and working, just need some help with styling if you wouldnt mind, I've tried looking at that list and tried to set the border behind each menu item to black at: Theme Options -> Category Menu Bar but it seems to not have helped...

How can I get the popout links to be sort of in a box, or at least have some background to them, colored or semi-transparent as the subcategories actually extend into the main content of the site - not useful as my subcategories could even go one level lower.

PLUS I need to get it to have a tile of "categories" at the top, like it did before.


Thanks Flynn.

To get a title put it into the title field in the PHP widget. The title will be very close to the menu. To add some space add margin-top to the CSS I posted above

div#menu2 ul.rMenu-ver{
width:auto;
border:0;
margin-top: 7px;
}

Appears that you have replaced all the Atahualpa menu code in header.php with a suckerfish menu code. Put the orginal code back if you want to style the menu through the theme options.


P.S.: I changed your thread title. Please use meaningful titles for threads, so it can be found and used by others.
