Title: IOS DV Menu
Post by: xmanhattan on September 15, 2009, 16:41:09

I installed this module but it looks like there is a problem.  I don't know if this has happened to others using it with Elxis 2009.

I am testing this using FF and IE 8 and have the following questions.

Quote

Usage instrsuctions
1. Set the modules suffix to -iosdv.
2. Edit your template index.php and add bellow your template's CSS these lines:

Code: [Select]

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>/modules/mod_iosdvmenu/iosdvmenu.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>/modules/mod_iosdvmenu/iosdvmenu.js"></script>3. Publish it in a template position of your choice.
4. Edit modules/mod_iosdvmenu/iosdvmenu.css CSS file if needed.

I don't know if there is a bug using this with Elxis 2009 but first the suffix is already added in the module itself as this module actually replaces the main menu module from what I have seen.
I ignored instruction #3 since I am unpublished the main menu and use that position.

When I change the module color using the drop down selection from blue to red nothing happens.

As I would like to use a similar grey color and rounded corners that the template is using, can I change the color using css rather than using a gif?

Hi xmanhattan,

open the file : iosdvmenu.css

change all the image files path to : ../../modules/mod_iosdvmenu/ and ../../templates/YOUR_DESIRE_TEMPLATE/ ...

Code: [Select]

As I would like to use a similar grey color and rounded corners that the template is using, can I change the color using css rather than using a gif?Yes , of course

Hello Farhad,

I think that the paths that you mention are correct because they point to the gifs that are part of the IOS DV Menu and I have just looked at them and they appear to be correct even though the module does not change the colors.
I can only see the blue which is the default.

As for the css part, I am thinking of trying to make the menu work using transparency but am not too sure that this will be very easy due to browser problems.

First , edit your css file :
/modules/mod_iosdvmenu/iosdvmenu.css

change all files with the path of:
/templates/okto/images/
to :
../../templates/okto/images/

and all files with the path of:
/modules/mod_iosdvmenu/
to:
../../modules/mod_iosdvmenu/

then your module work fine  ;)

Those changes didn't work but removing
         /modules/mod_iosdvmenu/
from the url line did.

I also copied the arrow image directly into the mod_iosdvmenu from the /template/images and this way I can change the arrow image if I want to.

Thanks
