yet another scriptpath problem
Hi, I'm a bit of a newbie with your menus, and, up to this point, still haven't gotten the menu to appear. I am confused about the path structure that the menus are looking for.
I am looking to use the menus for my personal admin pages at http://www.jesush.com/admin/ (this folder is password protected, so you won't be able to monitor my progress). Just for grins, I uploaded all the menu data files to /www/jesush/admin/menu/ (there were 4 files). Thus, I am trying to use the menu files stored in /www/jesush/admin/menu/ from html files stored at /www/jesush/admin/.
For the last half hour, I have been tinkering with various combinations of scriptpath, the path in the script tags of my html files, and placement of the two <SCRIPT> tags in my html file, and I've ended up with bupkis. It doesn't look like I'm getting any errors, just no menu.
If someone could walk me through this, I'd appreciate it...
Thanks,
Grover Dill

oh, okay...
Thanks for you prompt response to this. I really appreciate it.
I set it to /admin/menu/ with no luck.
I went ahead and took off password protection since, let's be honest, I have literally nothing on these pages worth stealing. Again, the file in question is:
http://www.jesush.com/admin/index.php
and the menu files are stored in
http://www.jesush.com/admin/menu/
I should mention again that I really tried to figure this out on own... oh well.
Thanks for your efforts!

http://www.jesush.com/admin/menu/menu_data.php can't be found, this is definately the problem.
Quick question though. Where are you getting menu_data.php from? It should be menu_data.js as per the download.
Your the second person today that has used menu_data.php in a sample so I'm now thinking something could be wrong with the downloads.

Yippee!
Thanks for your help! That was the issue!
I got the "menu_data.php" reference directly out of the install.txt that I downloaded from you guys. I was looking for a quick and dirty tutorial type deal to get this up and running, and that's where I found one.
I wasn't aware of the other support option for this. I'll have to check it out if I have other issues. Although, I have to say, this method seems to work pretty well...
Thanks again! I'm so happy, I could quilt a big happy blanket! Or something...

I've just been so busy with the formal stuff it's nice to have a bit of fun and do some of the other for a change.
I was supposed to have seen the new Italian Job movie tonight (got free tickets from Mini and all) but with what happened on Friday couldn't go, been catching up with everything. Like you say matey, I gotta get a life soon
Oh, Sorry about this GroverDill - We'll be gone soon

What if I need that file to be named menu_array.php? As long as that page exists, will I encounter any problems?
I am planning on creating my menu dynamically with PHP and a MySQL database. The data changes frequently, so I need the database connection. My script will write the appropriate aI lines and submenu stuff as it goes.
Anyone else tried this and been successful? or unsuccessful?
Thanks,
Bonewalker

No problems at all. One of mine is called xp_data.cfm, for instance.bonewalker wrote:What if I need that file to be named menu_array.php? As long as that page exists, will I encounter any problems?

PHP file names
In the download I made earlier today (Sept 15, RC10) the install.txt file includes instructions to save the data file as a .js. It provides instructions for calling the file that still list it as .php.
These instructions do not include the scriptpath instruction, so I presume that they have been revised quite recently.
Would it be possible to get a complete copy of the installation instructions posted here in the Forum? As revisions are made, the new instructions could be posted in their place.
Just a thought. Thanks for all your hard work.

The .php has been changed to .js, it was a slight error.
Posting the docs on the forum may not be the best idea, that would mean we'd be maintaining them in more than one place. Its hard enough maintaining one, hehe.
Bare with us for the moment, we are still in the RC stages, so there are still alot of changes going on...documenting them all would get crazy. Once the final release is out, then there will be changelogs and a central place to see anything related to different versions of the new menu. But right now, development is still the top priority. Then will come chronological documentation.

Re: PHP file names
As Dave mentioned, that slip has already been fixed. A few messages up you'll see one from me indicating you can actually use any suffix you need depending on how you're putting your menu together.jesson wrote:In the download I made earlier today (Sept 15, RC10) the install.txt file includes instructions to save the data file as a .js.

They were revised yesterday. The scriptpath parameter is no longer used, now replaced by the changes in the JS calls.jesson wrote:These instructions do not include the scriptpath instruction, so I presume that they have been revised quite recently.
Dave got that one, and I agree. On the main site Andy kept detailed track of everything done to v3, and he will do so again as soon as v5 is out of RC.jesson wrote:Would it be possible to get a complete copy of the installation instructions posted here in the Forum?
