Eyeball Theme: How to have the hidden "login register" menu -always- visible?

[cnymike]

In the Eyeball Theme, the Register Login menu is hidden until you mouse-over the home.gif icon. How can I modify the code to prevent this behavior? I would like the login menu to always be visible.

It looks like it's using javascript to accomplish that and I don't know  much about using javascript.

Thanks.

in eyeballs template.html
remove this entire section:

Code Select Expand


<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
 var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
   d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
 if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
 for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
 if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_showHideLayers() { //v6.0
 var i,p,v,obj,args=MM_showHideLayers.arguments;
 for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) if ((obj=MM_findObj(args[i]))!=null) { v=args[i+2];
   if (obj.style) { obj=obj.style; v=(v=='show')?'visible':(v=='hide')?'hidden':v; }
   obj.visibility=v; }
}
//-->
</script>

and Remove visibility:hidden; from the following:

Code Select Expand


<div id="Menu1" style="position:absolute; width:780px; height:30px; z-index:1; left: 22px; top: 47px; visibility: hidden;">




In eyeballs theme.php

in $template_main_menu2

remove all of the occurances of

Code Select Expand

onMouseOver="MM_showHideLayers('Menu1','','hide')
and

Code Select Expand

onMouseOver="MM_showHideLayers('Menu1','','show')

Thanks for the help. One further question though...

Would it be a good idea to comment out that section of code, instead of removing it, in case I change my mind later?

Just make a copy of eyeball and call it something else like eyelid make the changes to the copy.

If you do what Donnoman suggested, you will have to make sure every url in the theme.php, template.html and style.css that is currently at 'themes/eyeball/...' is also changed.(unless you have both folders on your server)

Commenting out is fine.

Casper, not sure what you mean by "every url in the theme.php, template.html and style.css that is currently at 'themes/eyeball/..."  which URLs do you mean in those files?

thanks for your help

[Casper]

if you make a theme called 'skypix' which is a copy of the theme called 'eyeball' then the images etc in the new theme will be at the location 'themes/skypix/images/.....', so you will have to change every reference in the template.html, theme.php, and style.css, that refers to 'themes/eyeball' to themes/skypix'.

If you don't, either the effects of the theme will still use the eyeball pics and css, if the theme exists in the themes folder, or they will be missing if it doesn't.

Gotcha, thanks a lot
