PHP and Milonic

Hello,

After looking throught the examples I still remain with one simple question.

Is it possible to do some like this with the menu? :

menu_data.js --->
with(milonic=new menuname("Sample")){
margin=3;
style=vertStyle;
top="offset=2";
aI("image=18_about.gif;text=About Us;url=/aboutus.php;");
aI("image=profile.gif;text=My Profile;url=/profile.php?x=SOME_USER_NAME$;");
}

SOME_USER_NAME$ is a variable that contains the users name.

I have the page profile.php but only can use it for a specific user (which is logged in ofcourse)
The menu should then show the profile.php for that particular user.

Thanks in advance for your time replying.

If I am corrent, just put:

Code: Select all

menu_data.js --->
with(milonic=new menuname("Sample")){
margin=3;
style=vertStyle;
top="offset=2";
aI("image=18_about.gif;text=About Us;url=/aboutus.php;");
aI("image=profile.gif;text=My Profile;url=/profile.php?x=<?php echo $SOME_USER_NAME; ?>;");
}

Don't forget that the suffix on your _data file will need to be changed from .js to .php.

In the end it proofed indeed much more simple to combine PHP and milonic than i thought

menu_data.js --->
aI("text=Some Text;url=/profile.php?x=<?php echo $SOME_USER_NAME; ?>;");
}

To get for example the line profile.php?x=John

After renaming the data.js to data.php everything worked like a charm.
Life is fun with a bit of knowledge.

Thanks Milonic!

I am trying to do something similar.

I seem to be having a context problem with my PHP variables between the web page and the menu files. If the variable is set in the web page, it is not available to the menu files and vice versa.

Do I have to do something special to make the variables available in both contexts? Since the variable values are coming from mySQL, I guess I can just read them in both places if needed.

All you have to do is rename the menu_data.js file to menu_data.php and the variables should then become available to you.
