Drop-Down navigation menu

Drop-Down navigation menu

I need a drop down navigation menu to browse through the albums and categories.
If you could help, it would be awesome.

Thanks in ADVANCE

Are you looking for a horizontal menu like in a brower (File, Edit, etc) that drops down, or a tree menu?

The tree menu has been done - read the MODs board

All i need is a simple HTML drop down menu.

[Joachim Müller]

where should it appear on the page? Should it replace the existing stuff. Is it supposed to replace the navigation, the admin menu, the category/albums list? Post more details...

It needs to be on the top (above the thumbnails). Replacing nothing.

It needs to be something like the language select.

I'll take a look at this.  I should be able to modify my tree menu to work like this since it's based on the PHP Layers Menu System

Here's the start - I haven't integrated into CPG yet

We had also done some thing similar BUT gave up becuase if the number of galleries are more than what you can fit in the screen hieght then it does not work - also it is a pain to work with the positioning of the phpLayersMenu....

This is not to discourage you BUT just a heads up - I suggest a theme where the menu is stuck right at the top!

[mstralka]

I see what you mean Tarique.  I got it working but I can't position it anywhere except along the top of the screen.  I won't be using this mod on my site because of these limitations, and won't make further changes to it, but if you really want it, here it is. 

Andreyua, if you're still interested, even with the limitations, here the instructions.

1.  Download phplayersmenu, unzip the contents into folder called phplayersmenu, and upload it to your coppermine directory on your server.

2.  Create a file called hor_menu.php in your coppermine directory.

3.  Paste this code into that file

5.  Open yourtheme/template.html, put this somewhere:

Code Select Expand


{HOR_MENU}


6.  Open yourtheme/theme.php, add this function:

Code Select Expand


function theme_hor_menu() {
require_once("hor_menu.php");
}


7.  Find:

Code Select Expand


        '{MAIN_MENU}' => theme_main_menu(),
        '{ADMIN_MENU}' => theme_admin_mode_menu(),

Add:

Code Select Expand


'{HOR_MENU}' => theme_hor_menu(),
