Its easy. Just set the Horizontal parameter to 0 for vertical (or leave it blank).

Instructions on what to do are right inside menu_array.js, which is the file that houses the menu you build.

No separators on Horizontal menu. Bug?

I have a menu - created by my automated ColdFusion-based Milonic menu generator - that has a strange quirk. On the top level of the menu I can't see any item separators, seemingly no matter what I do. Then, if I let a sub-menu define its own width (rather than expressly defining a pixel width for it...

I use CFX_GZIP and CF_GZipPage on a setting of 9 to compress the bejesus out of the CF-rendered page, (my menu output is not in a separate file) which in turn seems to solve the speed problem. I noticed what you're describing when I started getting into the 250-page range (also several 5-deep branch...

I am a complete idiot... Never occurred to me to use the GROUP attribute to eliminate the need for multiple queries when doing the admin-side build of the menu. Jeez... Can you say SQL 1A?

I store my menu arrays in a big text field. The idea was to be able to swap in different menus, depending on the group permissions and privilege level of the given user running the system at that moment. However, the same thing can be accomplished as you describe. I keep my different menu versions (...

Hi Greg, I'll take a look at it if you like. I'm a little confused, though. You say you want a heirarchical system that works with a standard item/parent ID structure. MenuMongerToo and MenuMonger Pro do precisely that, to an infinite level, or did I misunderstand your post? How many menu items gene...

OK, I remember now. Your situation is a tough one. You want to have individual menu choices available, but you're not too experienced in CF coding. There's the rub. The thing is, as I see it, you are absolutely going to have to roll your sleeves up and code a custom solution, given your desires. MMT...

I've got a three solutions in ColdFusion that work with Milonic menus. The first, ContentMonger Pro, is a Coldfusion-based content management system that does exactly what you describe: displays different menus depending on user access level. CMPro uses as its backbone a customized version of a free...

Yes, one site = one license. Its only thirty bucks. I buy the licenses myself, though. zDepends on your agreement with your client as to how you handle licensing needed for software that makes their site. I do it myself not to ensure personal ownership of all licenses - just to keep things convenien...

menu array item size limit?

I have this client who is trying to use swapover images. Trouble is, if the urls are too long they don't work. At some point (unknown at present) the menu can't handle the sheer length of the url. Here's a sample menu item - its really a real image url, too. Doesn't work. The client's image/swapimag...

From what I can see, this menu isn't the only thing that fails to preload in IE6...

He's using Adobe GoLive to do his js, and his work has the same problem. *Something* w...

No, the red is no big deal and not the problem. Just something I noticed when switching to 3.4.05. The issue is the delay in getting the *mouseover* images. Each of those top-level items has a swapimage associated with it. On my own connection, I can see net access each time I roll over an image and...

Hi Andy, 3.4.03. I just downloaded a new one and thats the current version available, unless there's another d/l area. To do the mouseovers I used http://www.milonic.com/menu/dyn_images_sample.php as my guide. It has the same ''skip-a-beat'' display (I'm using IE6), although I have a 1.5mb connectio...

a way to pre-load rollover images?

I have a client that I'm building a menu system for who complains that the rollovers are slow to come up. The main images are fine, but the rollovers take a beat or two to download, which increases to an unacceptable amount of time for international visitors (I'm in USA and he's in Australia). The p...

Milonic search engine friendly?

I'm curious... I use the menu in such a way that the menu arrays are actually kept right in the current html page (actually a single global ColdFusion template), rather than being broken out to a separate js file. Is this good enough for search engine crawlers? Will they follow embedded links within...
