Dynamenu 1.2 Released

[Albus]

This is a continuation of this (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8091) thread. Please review that thread if you are unfamiliar with this module. I felt two minor releases warranted a new thread. If the mods feel otherwise, please merge them.

This minor release fixes a problem that arises in forums in which the Cached Posts Lifespan vb option is set to 0. In such a case, several key caches are not built and a foreach error is generated. This fix takes that into account.

The second change is to the adv_portal_navforumbits template, which contained   characters outside of the smallfont span. Depending on the base font size for the alt classes, it caused a virtual padding effect. This has been rectified in this version.

All module options and features remain the same.

Full installation instructions are included in the package.

If you install this, please post an url to your forum so others may see it in action.

A demo may be seen on my site: http://wizardingrealm.com

I'm getting funky URL's w/ my status icons:

edited to add:

fixed it by changing the following in the adv_portal_navforumbits template:

<if condition="$show[statusicons]"><div style="float: right;">&nbsp;<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/nav_forum_$navforumbit[statusicon].gif" border="" alt="$navforumbit[statustext]" />&nbsp;</div></if>

Changed to the below... I basically removed the $vboptions[bburl]/ in bold above:

<if condition="$show[statusicons]"><div style="float: right;">&nbsp;<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/nav_forum_$navforumbit[statusicon].gif" border="" alt="$navforumbit[statustext]" />&nbsp;</div></if>

awesome module, btw! thanks!!

No problem dude. Pathing has always been a persistant problem for module writers. Trying to accomodate those who run the portal in the web root and the forum under a subfolder in addition to those who run both from the same folder is difficult. It get's even harder when the values for the Home URL and Forum URL vboptions aren't set right to begin with. Anyways, you did what I would've suggested, so you got it right.

:)
BTW...if you use the Pages part and want the pages to show up in the Who's Online thing correctly, see this (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8158).

Installed and enabled but doesnt show up. What did I do wrong? I have gone over everything like 10 times. Maybe its just too late.

[cmiller1014]

Sheesh my vbadvanced must be completely busted. Everything was working fine and this is the first module I have ever added. When I disable the Nav module, it turns off the "Quick Moderation" module.

What could have gone wrong?

[Albus]

? Can you reverse the install and see what happens ?

[cmiller1014]

I got it all to show up with the links by putting a 1 in the php file but the forums wont show at all. I have no idea what is wrong.

The problem still exists with the quick moderation though. If I disable your module, quick moderation turns off on the site.

Ok. You're not being specific enough for me to give accurate support. Address each of the thing listed below and I might be able to help.

1) Remove the modules templates.
2) Remove the modules php file.
3) Delete the module from the vBa section of the admincp.

Then:

1) Does your vBa now work?
2) Do you have any OTHER hacks installed?
3) Which ones?

I noticed also that you posted in the earlier thread before this one. When you updated the modules php, did you also update the templates? In any event, remove the module and answer the questions and maybe I can help. Also, a link to your forum would help...

[Albus]

I was just curious at this point. Who's now using this and would you mind sharing a link? I need to get feel for how well it's being accepted so I can revise my development and release strategies. Thanks!

Albus: I'm using it at http://www.torqued.org/news

:cool:

it is showing child forum with parent forums so that there is too many buttons shows
How can i show only parent forums?

[Albus]

Edit the nav.php file and add the ids of any forums you don't want displayed to the following variable:

'forumexclude' => '',

You shouldn't have to add but one parent level. Given the following forum id and parentage:

1
-2
--3
---4

Add 3 to the list and it should exclude that forum, and any of it's children. In this case it would display forum 1 and it's child, 2.

FYI....I no longer use vBulletin or vBa. I will however continue to support this for those who use it. I do not abandon anybody for any rason whatsoever. That's not professional.

i changed it to:

'forumexclude' => 2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,17,31,19,20,21,22,24,25,26,27,29,30,

but still showing them :(

[Albus]

try this...

'forumexclude' => '2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,17,31,19,20,21,22,24,25,26,27,29,30',

...you need the enclosing ' ' so the array parses right. Why that's not generating a PHP runtime parse error I don't know.

* remove the space after 22, for some reason I can't edit it out...
