Updating the menu?

[Davidk]

Hi!

This might sound like a strange question, but I'm in the process of updating my very old version of the menu. Do I have to do anything more but downloading just another package of the menu? I of course want to keep the settings I have made in the 'menu_data.js'-file. Do I have to do this again, or should I just copy and paste or is it simply enought if I update the other three files?

How old is 'very old'? If it is a V3 menu then you won't be able to use it unless you run the file through the converter.

At the moment, the end of the JS file uses:

Code: Select all

drawMenus()

I'm can't remember what it used to be.

Nope, not that old, I'm running RC15.

What's the very last line of your menu_data.js file?

[Davidk]

drawMenus();

Should be ok then. Back-up the current menu_data.js file and drop yours in to see what happens. I did this with mine and had no problems, but I think others have reported issues with certain visuals.

Ok, but how do I exactly do this, how do I do the back up? John asked me to update to version RC50, but I'm afraid I've missed out on the part on how to actually update....

If it were me, I would download the latest version, unpack it to a folder and copy your menu_data.js into it to see how it runs.

Then I would backup my folder containing all my JS files and then drop the new ones into it.

Thanks!

Let us know how you get on.

No probs, now I'll keep going in the "SSI and subdirectory problems"-topic above. I hope to sort it all out one day!
