Maybe try uninstalling the plugin and installing again? I try to recreate your situation but I can’t duplicate it at all.
<txp:mdp_sectionmenu id="nav" order="home,contact" /> does not work? And you are positive you have nothing in your style sheet that would make an element with id equal to ‘nav’ not appear?

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu
Ok. Ive sorted it…. i dont know what it was that was doing it, but i made a test with a fresh install of textpattern, and now its fixed.
wierdness hey !
While i am here.. Does anybody know how to change the default section name of “home” ? For example, what if i want it to say “bob” instead ???

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu
Hey hey !! Me again ! :)
Ive been playing around out of my curiosity to find out what was going wrong before, i have found that if you have your section names in caps, AND use the “order” option. The section menu breaks and only displays “home”.
Im not much of a PHP whizz… so i was wondering if anyone can help me. I want to do 2 things:
1) Make it so i can have my section names in caps AND use the order function.
2) find out how i can change the default “Home” to “HOME”
Any clues ??

I just had an idea on how I could do that, allow user text transformations in the actual code itself. You could use the CSS property “text-transform” to do that, though. Search google for it to get some more information

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu
…… blasphemy
You are right ! dammit… my thoughts were so damn focused on textpattern itself, i didnt think to look in to an alternative such as that, also that is a css property i never use..
…… and it works.
champion !
CHEERS !

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu
Does this plugin work when you use messy urls? Doesn’t seem to for me.

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu
I made a couple of hacks in my install – urlencoding where appropriate to have section names with spaces and yet appropriate hrefs and ids.
1) changed
$tagatts[] = ($sect 'default') ? ' href="'.$pfr.'"' : ' href="'.$pfr.$sect.'"';
to
$tagatts[] = ($sect ‘default’) ? ‘ href=”’.$pfr.’”’ : ‘ href=”’.$pfr.urlencode($sect).’”’;
2) changed
$tagatts[] = ‘ id=“menu_’.strtolower($sectionname).’”’;
to
$tagatts[] = ‘ id=“menu_’.strtolower(urlencode($sectionname)).’”’;
3) changed
$content = tag(ucwords($sectionname),‘span’);
to
$content = tag($sectionname,‘span’);
(i didn’t want auto-capitalization!)
thought this might help someone other than me
i also found that i had to change my section-named, extensionless text files (for clean URLs) to use ‘+’ in the name where you’d have a space
and theturninggate… yes, i had trouble with messy urls too. didn’t spend much time on it, though.

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu
HI…I’ve been looking for a plugin which lets me do exactly things that this plugin does. Feel this should have been in the core TxP itself.
I also want the current section to be highlighted / differentiated in some way. Any ideas how I could this?
Thanks!
only change is constant

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu
icubyx:
“I also want the current section to be highlighted / differentiated in some way”
this is built in to the plugin. the current section is given class=“active”… so add an .active class to your css and you’ve got your differentiated-current-section.

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu
This doesn’t seem to work at all… Are there any prerequisites like having an ID tag or something? I have messy urls turned on, and this churns out clean ones which don’t work; noshow doesn’t work for me in any capacity, what’s going on dudes? :/

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu
Well, I couldn’t get this to work with messy so I put clean urls back on, it seems to work ok like that.
Just one thing, how do I get rid of the ‘home’ menu option?
I’ve tried <- txp:mdp_sectionmenu noshow=“home” -/> but it doesn’t work for some reason?

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu
I noticed someone said the same thing in an earlier post. On a longshot, you could try ‘default’ intead of home, but i simply used something like: order=“products,services,company,contact,legal”(instead of noshow=“home”); when you use the ‘order’ parameter, it leaves out any sections you DON’T mention. bit of an ass-backwards workaround, but it’ll do.
