more drop down menus

Posted by Rowan Geddes at November 27. 2006

Hi,


Thank you for a great product! It works and I can use it. This is a miracle considering I know almost nothing about plone and programming...


Anyway, is it possible to have two or more levels of drop down menu?


eg:


Members>Current>juniors


Members>Current>seniors


Members> Past> Juniors


Members>Past> Seniors


The fist part is what your code already does, ie, Members>Current/Past


Can it handle the extra layers, and if so, how would I implement it please?


thanks in advance,

Row

qPloneDropDownMenu 0.1.x already provides more than one sublevel.


Example:


<li id="portaltab-index_html" class="plain"><a href="http://example.com/" accesskey="t">Home</a></li>
<li id="portaltab-Members" class="plain"><a href="http://example.com/Members" accesskey="t">Members</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://example.com/Members/jdoe">John Doe</a><li>
<li><a href="http://example.com/Members/mmajor">Mary Major</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://example.com/Members/mmajor/video">My Video</a><li>
<li><a href="http://example.com/Members/mmajor/music">My Music</a><li>
</ul>
<li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="portaltab-news" class="plain"><a href="http://example.com/news" accesskey="t">News</a></li>
<li id="portaltab-events" class="plain"><a href="http://example.com/events" accesskey="t">Events</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://example.com/events/previous">Past Events</a><li>
<li><a href="http://example.com/calendar">Calendar</a><li>
</ul>
</li>


So to add next level submenu to the certain menu item, you need to add unordered list inside of this certain level menu item ('<li>...</li>') after its title ('<a></a>').

Hi,


I know this is an old post, but when I paste in the code snip shown above (except for the <li> closing Mary Major, which I think should be </li>;) I still don't get any level 3 menus to show.  They should be showing as "My Video" and "My Music."


I'm expecting that level 3 should show as a flyout after level 2 drops down.


We're using this with a modified Flow skin.


thanks -

Since you have modified skin, firstly check if drop down menu html code is present on the page returned from the server. If it is, then the problem is exclusively with you css overlapping. Otherwise I'll look into how nice qPloneDropDownMenu product plays with your software versions (plone/zope).
