Accordion, tree or sliding menus

Hello

Anyone tried to use accordion, tree or sliding menus with Flexicontent? I tried Extend menu but it's not working...

I need a tree menu to show categories in left side of page..

Hi,

You can try this tree menu :
flexicontent.org/forum/index.php?f=19&t=...sopro&rb_v=viewtopic

Thank you

I have a problem using this module. It show me a tree but not how i need to be. I have over 250 categories and, using this module, i get a list of all categories.

What i need is a collapsible/expandable menu based on category selection, so if i choose a main category then show only categories which depend on it. Then, choosing next main category, collapse first main category and show only categories for second main category...


See this example(demo 1) here :

Hi,

Your link is broken, but i think you're talking about the treeview menu
www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/treeview/index.htm

May be we can adapt the flexitreemenu module to add a expand/collapse fonctionnality and an option to limit levels of category displayed.

I can't have a look to that now, but may be someone else...

Sorry for the unconstructive answer.

Ok, i think i solve it Please note that i'm not a programmer so i cannot provide more help. For more information about menu customisation, check this file: www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicinde ... /index.htm


1. download attached archive and unzip it in modules/mod_flexitree_menu; now you have a folder called jquery.treeview


2. Add this code to your modules/mod_flexitree_menu/tmpl/default.php

after:

<?php // no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?>

add


3. Same file:

Replace

<ul class="sf-menu <?php echo $params->get('superfish_menu');?>">

with

<ul class="sf-menu <?php echo $params->get('superfish_menu');?>" id="navigation">


Don't forget to set "Link category" in module to Yes

Hello vfro,

well done! Only two things don't work though for me (seems to be simple, but I don't find it at the moment ):

- click on menu item loses itemid in URL -> flexitree module disappears on called page
- show module title is set to "yes" - but no title is displayed

Furthermore:
Are there possible conflicts jquery <-> mootools with this module?

Hello

for the first problem: i think you should have a menu displayed in all pages; for example, this work for me:

Corporate Stores tree menu - display only for Corporate Store categories

and below

main menu - this menu is visible in all pages

for the second problem...all i can say is that title is displayed for me

Didn't find any conflict so far...

Thanks, but...

this doesn't work for me - too many entries.
A working solution is - again - MetaMod:
controlling when and where which FlexiTree Menu should appear - by checking URL parts via php.

Evaluating the values ...

$option == 'com_flexicontent'
$view == 'category' (or 'items')
JRequest::getVar ('cid') = (xyz)

solved it for me.

Still some work for me - but finally I'll get rid of thousands of single menu entries... <sigh> !

Hello,

I got it to work the normal way finally.
But now reloading page refreshes also the treeview, showing always the original html-tree shortly before.
Only the content should change upon a treeview-click.

How to avoid the complete refresh?


Greetings

The link yopyop gave is useful for me, but there is a Q. How can I get it open to the left side instead of right? I mean, It's opening subcats to the right side now even when you use it in the right column of your J! template. How can I get it right?

Thanks
