Uploaded version 1.2.0 of the module. In this version, I started using jQuery in the JavaScript code, which improves a lot in the way in which the menu positioning is handled. Additionally, I added some fixes for possible positioning issues (I ran into those, with my new site template that uses a somewhat more complicated layout with relative and absolute positioned elements.)

This new version requires Phorum 5.2.16-RC2 or higher, because of the use of jQuery.

Hi Maurice,

I published a new version of my German Language Files Package which includes also translations for you module in two character sets iso-8859-1 and utf-8.

Please add the attached language files to the next release of your module and remove maybe existing old style files like german.php oder german-sie.php. Thanks!

Regards
Oliver

no, doesn't work there.
but hover your mouse over "Community" in this forum here to see it in action.

I am interested in this module, but even when I go to Maurice's test forum, it doesn't work. Could this have something to do with my browser?

korsakov, I have altered my mod to make your vroot unnecessary, sorry for causing any confusion.

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

korsakov — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:37:04 -0600

I asked since Joe's new "Forum Subscription" module requires to set a folder to "vroot" in order to get the option to subscribe to all forums within this folder. Thank you.

Maurice Makaay — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:26:11 -0600

Ehh... the idea of a vroot is that it is a separate virtual Phorum. You don't show vroots in the jumpmenu therefore. The only vroot that you show, is the starting folder of the jumpmenu.

I released version 1.1.9 of the module. This version adds vroot compatibility....

Hi Maurice, How can I display VROOT folders on the Jumpmenu? Thank you!

Re: Module: Jumpmenu - 'width'. Declaration dropped

korsakov — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 09:25:02 -0600

Just a minor issue: Whenever this module is called I get many of these messages ("Error in parsing value for 'width'. Declaration dropped.") in Firebug. Am I too obsessive?

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

Validation does not ensure browser compatibility.

Hint: you'd need to modify $PHORUM['mods'] and $PHORUM['hooks'] to remove references to the jumpmenu module from those arrays.

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

korsakov — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:44:23 -0600

I personally like to validate in order to be on the safe side if I don't have the time to check out all browsers.

I checked common.php, it seems that a tweak would entail more than I expected. Could you maybe give me another hint? My intent is not to load the rather big jumpmenu (at least in my case) if it is not necessary. Thanks!!

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

Maurice Makaay — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:24:21 -0600

I see no reason why one would ever need to be really concerned by validation issues. Validation is a nice tool to fix things if they are broken and you want to make sure that your HTML isn't crapped up. Checking an already working website, not that useful IMO. So whether it concerns you is up to you.

after_login is only called at login time, so that's not useful for tweaking behavior for every page. You could check what user is logged in from the common_post_user hook and tweak the list of enabled modules from there.

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

korsakov — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:55:33 -0600

Validation of my site results in this last error message:
Attribute "rel" exists, but can not be used for this element.
Error occured in this line:
[code="html4strict"]
…JumpMenu.vroot = 0

Thank you!

This mod works perfectly on the index page but fails on the rest of the site? Any ideas?

Update: Working now for some reason. Not sure why. Maybe I just needed to refresh the pages.

I was able to change all the colors with the default css.tpl supplied, except for the link color (when not highlighted). For some reason it was a color I didn't specify in settings.tpl, I may look into that later. If there is something there for it in the mod's css.tpl, then I missed it--pardon me, just really tired. So I added:

#phorum a.mod_jumpmenu_menu_item {
color: {border_font_color};
}

Edit: Unfortunately for the min-height idea, it stops the coloration of the div menu at the specified height, but the links keep going, providing no scroll bar. Should have known but my css has been rusty lately. What about working with some kind of div overflow: auto?

Edit edit: Scratch that. Although it provides a scroll bar, the cursor can't linger long enough on it before it disappears. With as many forums as I have, I'm disheartened that I can't use this useful mod.

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

Maurice Makaay — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 01:43:43 -0500

You are right about the first question. Unless somebody writes a new dropdown menu that supports this, there's no easy way to handle this. Maybe some max height on the menu container, which would result in a scrollbar on the side, however that would not be too standard behavior.

For modifying the css, you need to copy mods/jumpmenu/templates/emerald to mods/jumpmenu/templates/yourtemplate and then edit the css from there. The main CSS-file is loaded before the CSS from the module, so your changes are overwritten now.

A quick hack that you could try: change the where parameter to "before" instead of "after" for the two css registrations in jumpmenu.php, function phorum_mod_jumpmenu_css_register(). That would prepend the css code to the main one instead of appending it. If that doesn't break the CSS, then you could override the CSS from the main one.

I don't suppose it's possible to shorten a long list on the hover menu and apply a down arrow so the person can scroll down to more forums? I have a really long list but I can't shorten them, since they're on individual species.

Also, I'm not sure how to get the CSS working. I copied the contents of the module's emerald's css.tpl to my template's css.tpl, and copied over before_footer.php, as well as adding id="mod_jumpmenu_root" to where I wanted the menu to be displayed. The menu displays fine but the css I copied and modified in my css.tpl is being ignored. What did I do wrong?

Maurice Makaay — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 03:38:21 -0500

I don't know really. What is "beneath" and how does it take care of a more convenient selection process? A page where things don't work might help.

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

korsakov — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 22:07:56 -0500

Occasionally I have difficulties to get the Jumpmenu work when I am hiding

's beneath it in order to provide the user with a more convenient selection process. I haven't figured out the reason why it sometimes works and sometimes not. Could you please give me a hint? Thank you!

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

Maurice Makaay — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 05:07:30 -0500

Sorry, that is not how the module was built. It only acts on the #mod_jumpmenu_root id. Allowing it to display it beneath multiple objects on the same page would require some fundamental changes to the internal architecture of the mod's javascript code.

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

korsakov — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 19:37:03 -0500

I would like to use "mod_jumpmenu_root" as a class in order to use your "Jumpmenu" in various places. Would you have a suggestion? Thank you!

sheik — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 15:05:42 -0500

Yes, I have Firebug set to break on all errors, but nothing is obviously showing up.
I'm pretty sure it has never worked on this page, but I didn't realise it should until now.

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

Maurice Makaay — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 17:28:24 -0500

Do you have Firebug installed for Firefox?
Maybe it's displaying some javascript warnings?
I have no idea now what could be the issue here.

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

sheik — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 17:10:17 -0500

Weird, I'm using Firefox 3 but the popup doesn't appear in the main forum list, only once I go into list.php

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

Maurice Makaay — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 14:33:01 -0500

If I take a look with my Firefox, then I see the jumpmenu open on your index. Are you using MSIE? If yes: is there a javascript error showing in the status bar?

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

sheik — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 17:52:53 -0500

Really not critical, but if someone could suggest why Jumpmenu doesn't work on my phorum root page, that would be appreciated.
Once you go to an individual forum it starts to work, it's just the main forum list where it fails.

I always thought this was the expected behaviour, but I've just noticed this site doesn't have the same problem.

Cheers,

It needs to be added via a module.
Take a look at the latest version of the Recent Messages module for an example of how to add items to the jumpmenu. There's a hook available for handling this.

Re: Module: Jumpmenu

James E. — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:28:18 -0500

I'm probably over looking something simple here, but my head is spinning from another, unrelated topic (like work).

How would one add the User List module to the Jumpmenu list?

As always, thanks for the support.
