lfyrilei · Post by **lfyrilei** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 9:20 am

In versioninfo 5.32 the treemenu is due for release soon ....
Can someone give me a hint when it will be released!!

I have an immediate need for this as well. Talked to Andy yesterday and he is working on it 'as we type'. It has been moved up the list, if not even to the very top.

OK, how's this for service...

You can try a beta version of this as follows...

Demo

Files needed...
http://milonic.com/treemenu/treemenu.js
http://milonic.com/treemenu/collapse_data.js

Note I said beta! There is no support for this right now, and we are not in a position to answer questions about it. Check the demo page source for the proper setup for the JS calls and syntax.

Note also that as of this writing the current menu system is at 5.35, and it is recommended you upgrade to that version, if not already there.

Feedback, however, would be most appreciated.

Hi There,

I don't have a need for Treemenu right away, but will no doubt in the future. I haven't really followed discussions up to this point, so things may have been discussed already. Here's a few items I can think of off the top of my head...

- a command/option to expand all sub menus

- a command/option to collapse all open sub menus

- a command/option to collapse any open sub menus when the user expands another one

- the ability to save state of menus when opening a new page, even if it has to use cookies or ASP/PHP session vars to keep track of things. Normally collapsable menus have to be used in a frame, which most folks would want to avoid.

Item #3 is already in there, although I'm having some trouble getting it to work right (but we're still beta with this). I'm sure Andy will take the others into consideration.

You can see the demo listed above, or one I've started working on at http://www.west.asu.edu/sa/testsite/tree.htm. Only the first 3 or 4 items are complete on mine, so if you go too far down you'll get an error (the sub-menus are not in place).

Mine is pretty plain-jane - there is a lot more that can be done with this module.

Wanted to give the beta a try but unless I'm doing something really stupid it doesn't seem to want to work using 5.36 ?

jm · Post by jm » Thu Jul 29, 2004 5:46 pm

ok - found a 5.35 milonic_src.js file and it worked fine

Not sure why it causes the problem - but there's another bug to sort !

needs a command/option to collapse any open sub menus when the user expands another one
Any idea when it will be launched ?

It's in there, but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Same here...

ditto

At least Andy knows there are a few of us on standby to beta test it!

hi john

any update yet ? Going to sit down and start this new site tonight and thought I'd hold out if there was an update on the horizon

Cheers

Hi -

Haven't heard anything yet. I was out sick most of last week, but don't think I missed anything.

Have you folks posted all the problems you've encountered in this Topic so the boss doesn't have to search all over the place?

Thanks.

Running it against 5.36 at http://www.west.asu.edu/sa/testsite/new/ with no problems (other than what we've talked about). Just a dummy site for now, but the menu works.

From your comment I ass-ume yours does nothing at all?

For the record - I'm currently catching up on all the emails from last week - Took some time off to demolish... Erm, I mean't fix the house.

I'm almost at the point where I can start on the treemenu again so may have something this week.

I think I have enough to go on for now, thanks for that guys, be in touch soon.

One thought - is that my 5.36 is a licenced version for a single site - however i'm only testing it offline - so I'm not sure if that's an issue ?

Thanks, boss. Looks like we have a line-up waiting for this.

Playing catch-up myself - sick all last week.
