1.1.0 and distro method

Hello all,

First off, thank you for the bug reports and feature
requests for 1.1.0
RC. Some features were left out so I could get a release
out. I need to
take a few days to work on a university project, then I will
get back to
feature requests. Global logins, categories, and file
cabinet are my
first priority.

I'd like for everyone to take a look at the following:
https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4180330


It discusses the distro method of phpwebsite 1.x. I'd like a
decided
upon standard for release. Please discuss the issue there so
we can get
people outside the list into it.

I'm just curious about the rationale and the inspiration for
the menu  
template.

I'm more used to styling lists for these things and find all
the  
nestled divs unfamiliar and awkward. It doesn't help that my
little  
personal library of favourite techniques and methods for
menus pretty  
much all deal with lists. I suppose the divs are needed for
the ajax  
stuff?

Anywise, if this is a standard menu building and templating
method of  
some sort that I am not aware, I would appreciate it if
anyone knew  
of any reference material or examples of how to style to
achieve fly- 
outs or other displays.

regards,
verdon

That's just happens to be how I got it work. The divs allow
the mouse
over menu to appear like it does. There may be a better
way.

If someone can supply a cleaner version I will gladly make
it the
default template and style for menu.

I've not looked yet so I'm shooting from the hip a bit here,
but it'd  
be a pity if it doesn't work with lists. There's an awful
lot of  
examples out there on how to make menus using lists. It's
deeply  
ingrained in a CSS designers toolkit.

Originally it was but I couldn't get the floats the way I
wanted. Since
you were able to refine the control panel perhaps you'd like
a crack at
the menu as well?

Ooh, Gauntlet slapped down. Gauntlet picked up.

I'll have a look sometime next week after I've finished up
with  
0.10.3 and phpwsBB.

I'm having visions of that Bugs Bunny episode where Yosamite
Sam  
throws down the gauntlet and Bugs picks it up, fills it with
a brick,  
and accepts the challenge ;)

I've been looking at the menu a bit and I think the
challenge is going
to be more than just the tpl files. I suspect it might be
possible to
get the floats for the admin ajaxy stuff to work, in a list,
by making
the <li>'s display:block... but I think the bigger
issue is that a
menu in an expanded shape won't render as a nestled list and
that is
important for most styling techniques as well as being
semantically
correct.

I.E.

This is good...

<ul>
 <li>Level One Item</li>
 <li>Level One Item
       <ul>
            <li>Level Two Item</li>
            <li>Level Two Item
                  <ul>
                      <li>Level Three Item</li>
                   </ul>
               </li>
            <li>Level Two Item</li>
            <li>Level Two Item</li>
       </ul>
      </li>
 <li>Level One Item</li>
 <li>Level One Item</li>
</ul>

This is not...

<ul>
 <li class="menu-level1">Level One
Item</li>
 <li class="menu-level1">Level One
Item</li>
 <li class="menu-level2">Level Two
Item</li>
 <li class="menu-level2">Level Two
Item</li>
 <li class="menu-level3">Level Three
Item</li>
 <li class="menu-level2">Level Two
Item</li>
 <li class="menu-level1">Level One
Item</li>
 <li class="menu-level1">Level One
Item</li>
</ul>

I've looked at /mod/menu/class/Menu_Link.php and it looks
like there's
some capacity for child links, but I couldn't quite figure
out how or
if that was being used. I think the site_map function is
getting
right, but again, I've only had a really quick look.

Anywise, just some food for thought.
