Changing menu position without modifiying menu_data.js

Post by mike1888 »

Hello,

I'm having couple of issues positioning my milonic menu file on a client's website.

I can't modify the menu_data.js (which already has the top / left value) as i'ts on the client's hosting (don't have the codes) allthough i have to place in on a relative position at the top of one <td>. How can i do that ?

Thanks,

Hi,

As far as I know you cannot change the position unless you change it in the menu_data.js file. Putting it in a table you have to use a different method and that requires access to the menu_data.js file and also the page itself to set the position inside the cell. There is an explanation here http://milonic.com/tablemenu.php and then the relative positioned menu sample here http://milonic.com/menusample9.php

As you can see by those examples/explanations you actually not only need access to the menu data file, you need to create a separate main menu [the relative positioned main menu] file while removing the existing main menu from the data file, and then call it in the table cell where you want the main menu to appear. And then saving the original menu_data file with that main removed as something like subs_data.js or something and calling that file at the top just after the body tag.

I'm sorry, can you not get in touch with your client so you can have access to do that?

Thanks Ruth, apparently looks like my client is using one same script for all his other clients website so impossible for me to modify the menu_data.js file (as it will change all other pages). :(

Is there some way I can see this menu? Perhaps I could come up with some suggestion for you? No guaranty but without seeing it I can only give you the general answer I gave. Sorry :(
