Title: LS Tabmenu
Post by: catflap on September 26, 2007, 23:29:56

I have installed Ls Tabmenu and it looks good but there are 2 problems with it.

1)  It does not act like the mainmenu i.e i have the main menu in 2 langauges and when in english it only shows the english menu items and when in turkish it only shows turkish menu items but tabmenu shows both all the time.

2) when a user registers on the site the tabmenu disappears.

is there any way i can cure these 2 problems or does anyone know of another tab menu module that will work as i want.

Each menu item has language assigment, did you assign language for each menu item?

From what I saw (couldn't register, but..) this menu is written for joomla, and most probable cause of your problems with it is joomla's lack of language field in DB (that's why it doesn't change items according to lang), and ACL values (that's why it don't work for registered users). Sorry, but I can't get into deeper explanation, since I'm not at home.

i had thought about that and i could creat one but it would be simple as if it involed any graphics or icons i would not know where to put them or how to call them.

You just pick one of thousands of free tab menus on the internet. If it uses any pictures, they are called through css. You just have to change paths acordingly.

Example

Put images for this menu into /yourtemplate/images/

change paths:

.someclass {
some:style;
background: url(image.gif);
..... etc.}

.someclass {
some:style;
background:url(../images/image.gif);
..... etc.}

That's all there is to it! ;)
