[gateway]

We just upgraded our sites with from the 1.3 and we had some custome themse we designed, I got everything over as far as I know in the new
format and all is working execpet for what replaced {MENU}.

I changed the template to reflect SYS_MENU and SUB_MENU but my styles that i created for {MENU} I have no idea how to get workign in the code since its compltely differnt and their isnt any html code like the old MENU was.

old code example:

Code Select Expand

// HTML template for main menu
$template_main_menu1 = <<<EOT
                <span class="topmenu1">
                        <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
                                <tr>
                                        <td><a href="http://www.mysite.com/members/" title="Home">Home</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- BEGIN my_gallery -->
                                        <td><a href="{MY_GAL_TGT}" title="{MY_GAL_TITLE}">{MY_GAL_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- END my_gallery -->
<!-- BEGIN allow_memberlist -->
                                        <td><a href="{MEMBERLIST_TGT}" title="{MEMBERLIST_TITLE}">{MEMBERLIST_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- END allow_memberlist -->
<!-- BEGIN my_profile -->
                                        <td><a href="{MY_PROF_TGT}">{MY_PROF_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- END my_profile -->
<!-- BEGIN faq -->
                                        <td><a href="{FAQ_TGT}" title="{FAQ_TITLE}">{FAQ_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- END faq -->
<!-- BEGIN enter_admin_mode -->
                                        <td><a href="{ADM_MODE_TGT}" title="{ADM_MODE_TITLE}">{ADM_MODE_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- END enter_admin_mode -->
<!-- BEGIN leave_admin_mode -->
                                        <td><a href="{USR_MODE_TGT}" title="{USR_MODE_TITLE}">{USR_MODE_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- END leave_admin_mode -->
<!-- BEGIN upload_pic -->
                                        <td><a href="{UPL_PIC_TGT}" title="{UPL_PIC_TITLE}">{UPL_PIC_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- END upload_pic -->
<!-- BEGIN register -->
                                        <td><a href="{REGISTER_TGT}" title="{REGISTER_TITLE}">{REGISTER_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- END register -->
<!-- BEGIN login -->
                                        <td><a href="{LOGIN_TGT}">{LOGIN_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- END login -->
<!-- BEGIN logout -->
                                        <td><a href="{LOGOUT_TGT}">{LOGOUT_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
<!-- END logout -->
                                </tr>
                        </table>
                </span>

    addbutton($sys_menu_buttons,'{LOGOUT_LNK}','{LOGOUT_TITLE}','{LOGOUT_TGT}','logout','');
    // Login and Logout don't have a spacer as only one is shown, and either would be the last option.

There's a sticky in this board regarding "How to modify SYS_MENU & SUB_MENU".  Please read that to understand the new menu functions.  Basically, you should be able to use your HTML for the old menu in $template_sys_menu and $template_sub_menu.  Break up your old menu HTML into the two menus, using the sample theme as a guide to which button goes where.  You don't have to use the new addbutton() functions; you can use straight HTML by defining those 2 variables just like you did for your old menu.  Look at the hardwired theme for an example of a 1.4 theme that uses straight HTML for the SYS_MENU & SUB_MENU.
