TYPO3 Mailingliste: nicht fragen - lesen!

hi,

i am attempting to make an efficient navigation system for a large number of
pages at piasdgserver.usp.ac.fj/peacenet. there will be two drop-down boxes,
one for the country, one for the thematic area. choose your country, choose
your thematic area, click go and the system should select the right page and
show it. thinking of it like a grid with the two selection boxes down each
side and the possible combinations in the middle as pages helps.

eventually we may (rather ambitiously) also make a flash version of the nav
with two spinning wheels.

how can i best implement this in typo3? i have coded the form and can load
it from a file, but how should i go about processing the post/get variables
on a new page? how can i make a link so that an address like
piasdgserver.usp.ac.fj/peacenet/nav.php?thematic=governance&country=&fijiwill
work?

thanks
leon

If both select boxes are "levels" in TYPO3, you might want to take a
look a JSMENU.

If i'm not mistaken, jsmenu does not work in safari when using out of
the box.

Never tried it.
Long ago (when I used JSMENU) I had no Mac.
Now I have a Mac but don't use JSMENU anymore

Thanks for the tips! I have implemented the JSMENU using the following code:

marks.magicnav = HMENU
marks.magicnav.special = directory
marks.magicnav.special.value = 8
marks.magicnav.1 = JSMENU
marks.magicnav.1 {
levels = 2
1.wrap = |
1.noLink = 1
2.wrap = |
}

I am trying to view the level 3 submenus in the second drop down list, but
all that happens is the browser reloads, making it impossible to select
anything from the second box, even though it does appear for a very short
time. Can anyone explain this behaviour? I tried the TS without the
1.noLink= 1 line, but behaviour was the same except for level 2 links
without
children, where it took me directly to the correct page.
http://piasdgserver.usp.ac.fj/peacenet/ is the address...

Cheers and thanks
Leon

Hi Leon,

The reloading is quite normal I think, but the item in the first menu
isn't selected after reloading.

I think you have to use the following typoscript (the firstLabel is
optional, but might be nice

marks.magicnav = HMENU
marks.magicnav {
special = directory
special.value = 8

1 = JSMENU
1 {
levels = 2
1 {
wrap = |
showActive = 1
firstLabel = Please select
}

2 < .1
2 {
wrap = |
firstLabel = Please select subpage
}
}
}

Hi Rens,

thanks for the suggestion, the firstlabel does make things look better.
Unfortunately I am still having problems with the reloading, linking to a
site without subpages works, but any subpages just get mysteriously reloaded
on the first page, resetting the navigation. Check the site again to see
what i mean...

Is this a TSconfig problem, or a bug? People use JSMENU so rarely, I have
yet to see any real success stories using it as a language switcher or
something in any of the german forums...

Cheers
Leon

Hi Leon,

I've tried to make a menu myself, and had the same problem... Strange
enough the noLink =1 option works for me now. I can change the first
selectorbox to whatever I want, and the second box fills with the
subpages. After choosing a page in the second box, the link works...

This is my test: http://bu7.nl/index.php?id=148&type=1

And this is my Typoscript:

page.10.10 = HMENU
page.10.10 {
entryLevel = 1
1 = JSMENU
1 {
levels = 2
1 {
wrap = |&nbsp;
showActive = 1
firstLabel = Please select

noLink = 1
}
2 < .1
2.noLink >
}
}


I hope this is also the solution to your problem...

Greetz,
Rens
