Hi,
First of all, let me set your expectations right first. As mentioned in the web page where you download the plugin, ths original code was written by
www.dynamicdrive.com. However, the code was a generic PHP code. It's not written for Joomla. What I've done is to wrap this into a Joomla plugin so that you can use the menu within a Joomla article.
The module was later created so that you can put the menu in a module position, instead of in an article.
As the original author did not write this with Joomla in mind, naturally the menu items are not integrated with the Joomla framework. What this means is that the menuitems are not pulled automatically from your sections and categories of the original main menu. All menu items have to be created MANUALLY.
In any case, if you are still interested to use this plugin/module, please read on.
The module makes use of the plugin. So let's try to get the plugin to work first in an article. Once it works, you can then easily copy and paste the code into the module.
1) Uninstall the module first, leaving only the plugin.
2) Create a new article.
3) Create some menu items as outlined in the documentation, e.g.
[Glossy_Accordion_Menu]
<a href="http://www.site1.com">General</a>
- <a href="url1">Introduction</a>
- <a href="url2">Unique Features</a>
- <a href="url3">How to Use</a>
- <a href="url4">Demo</a>
<a href="http://www.site1.com/links">Links</a>
- <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>
- <a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>
- <a href="http://www.joomla.org/">Joomla</a>
[/Glossy_Accordion_Menu]
Note: please replace all square brackets with curly brackets i.e. { with [, and } with ]
4) Save the article and load the article. Did you see the menu, something like this?
5) If (4) is working, it means the plugin is running fine. Now, please download the latest copy of
Glossy Accordion Menu module v1.51
This should solve your problem one.
6) In the parameter "Content", paste the code that you've written in the article above. Save the module. Don't forget to publish the module and place in your desired module position.
Let me know if it works.
