Hi again! :-)

really like what you are doing kksou!

One of best/smartest Joomla community devs in my mind. :-)

One question/possible enhancement for this very nice Accordion menu though.

I would like to have more sub menus that can flip out to down-right or down-left vertical as options after you have open the first menu accordion effect(s).

Is this possible?

I know I have not seen this at dynamic drive so maybe this is a tricky one. Hope you understand what I mean.

Also If the accordion sub menus also could be open dynamically with some kind of Ajax effect that would be really really cool!

Hi ssnobben,

Thanks for the encouraging notes. But the credit should goes to dynamicdrive.com. They're the one who wrote the original stuff. What I did was only to wrap this into a plugin and module so that one can use this menu easily in Joomla.

Hi

wonder also if it is possible with several sub levels than 2?

Hi ssnobben,

As mentioned in the previous post, the core stuff is written by dynamicdrive.com. I only wrap it into a Joomla plugin.

The original code only allows 2 levels. You have all the source codes. As you can see, the file jquery-1.2.2.pack.js is encoded. So it might be difficult to decipher how to make it support multiple levels.

An easier way is to see if you can find another menu that supports multiple levels, and we wrap it into a Joomla plugin.

Hi kksou,
thanks for this nice menu applet, but I have a problem with it. I use the plugin together with the module. The problem is that I have the first field which is a menulink with 2 levels (with about 8 submenu links), then the second field is a 1-level menulink, the third a link with 2 levels again (with about 4 submenu's), but if I move the mouse over the third link, the submenu will not open. Only if I move the mouse to the second link, the third menu link will open up and show the submenu, but I can't click on that third submenu, since if I try to do, the menu will close again.

Do you know what the problem can be? Is there any restriction in which of the menu's can have submenu's? I mean can only the last menulinks have submenu's or only the first or can I just mix everything? I tried to adjust the height, but this doesn't fix my problem.

If this menu works, it's abslolute a very nice menu!

Thanks in advance for any info on this.

Kind regards,
Leon

Hi, i find this menu great, bur i have a question:

is it possible to make the height of the menu some kind of dynamic? when i have a menu point with 2 subpoints the menu require the same height as if i activate a menupoint with 10 subpoints. is it possible to change that? so that the menu automaticly chooses the height that all subs are shown correctly and so space in the height is "unused"?

hope you understood my problem :)

okay, i found a solution on my own :)

you just have to change the term:

height: {$menu_height}px;

to

height:auto;

in the css file of the menu! again, great work!

Hi kksou,
thanks for your excellent support via email! Your advice helped me further with this very nice menu. After I know how the menu behaves my problems are solved! (For anyone who have the same problem as me -> the menu always try to open the sub-level menu if there is one. So this can create a problem when you not carefully think about your menustructure. But knowing this you can work with it and the menu works excellent!)

Also the auto-height suggestion mentioned in above comment works perfect for me!!

This menu AND kksou definitly deserve all 5 stars!

Thanks kssou,
Leon

1st off, you have done tons of nice coding here! My problem is I can't seem to get the Reveal Type (LocalSetting) to work. I am using the "Glossy_Accordion_Menu" and the code that I have to do a local reveal type override is:
{Glossy_Accordion_Menu revealtype:mouseover} but i am unable to get this to work.

What am I doing wrong? --thanks--

Hi, I've installed the module, ticked it to go green and in my article added the example to the HTML. It doesnt load though :S

Can someone tell me what i've done wrong?

Cheers.

Hi Chr1s,

Took a look at your website. The tag {Accordion_Menu_Apple_style} and {/Accordion_Menu_Apple_style}are still there. It means the plugin is not processed at all.

Could you please check if you have enabled the plugin?

Regards,
/kksou

I have checked and the plugin is enabled, could it be a problem with the template I'm using?

Hi Chr1s,

I don't think it's because of your template. But if you want to be
sure, you could try switching back to the default joolma template and
see if it works.

The only other reason I could think of is plugin conflict.

To see which one is the main cause, you could install a fresh joomla
some where and install just the "Accordion Menu Apple style" plugin.

If it works, switch to your template and see if it works.

If it works, it means it's not your template problem. It could then be
plugin conflict.

Hi there..
I came across your site and i love it .. loads to play with but i was wondering if the accordion menu plugin and module can be set or revised to include the features which are in the original dymaic drive script

i wish when loading the page with menu {as a menu in joomla} that i can have it so all the headers (level1) are closed and not expanded until the user hover or click over

in the dd script it uses this

quote

defaultexpanded: [0], //index of content(s) open by default [index1, index2, etc]. [] denotes no content.

onemustopen: false, //Specify whether at least one header should be open always (so never all headers closed)

or if you can alter the script to do something similar i would be really gratefull

but once again i am sure i will learn a lot from articles on your site.

thanks

Hi all.

First of all, this is a very nice menu. But I have come across with the same problem as Leon did. As he told: if you have one item without sublevels and you press it, the menu opens the first menu item with sublevels behind this one.

So, I guess 2 solutions:
- or you put for every level a sublevel, although you don't need it (e.g. with the same name of the 1st level item) -> not nice
- or you put the items without sublevels, the last ones.

But... could anyone manage to find a better solution? Because I need to make a menu with a fixed order of items and I don't like the solution of putting a sublevel with the same name of the first level item.

Apart from it, this menu is very nice. But if I don't find a solution for this problem I will need to find another one, because I am new in php, javascript, ... and I am not sure I am able to modify this behaviour :(

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Very Nice Menu indeed sorted my problem customized the colours as I like but I have an issue.

I cannot make the 1st Level Link to Work even if there are no 2nd level items.

I can see the hyperlink on the status bar but when I click on it makes nothing

I used the original code from this website to test it removing the 2nd Level items from the "Links" Tab.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks

Hi,

In my menu, my first section have only 1 level, and my second have level 1 + 2 sub menu in level 2..

My problem is... When my cursor move over my 1rst Section.. My second section expand...

( Sorry for my english :x

I'm just wondering if this is seo friendly?

If this could be a module outside the content area it would be great

Hi Finc,

In case you're not aware, there is a corresponding Accordion Menu Apple style module.

Is this what you have in mind?

Maybe I messed it up, but what I was thinking is when an article is devided in pages you can have such kind of list on top of the article to go to the page you want. Somehow this link-list to those pages should be taken out of the article and put into a module.
This way the layout of the article stays clean.
