[archived] mdp_SectionMenu

Notice: This thread is archived, there is a native txp tag now: <txp:section_list>.

**********************************************************

I wrote up this little plugin yesterday night, it takes all your section’s and output’s them as links to the highest level of that section (/section_name). Using wrap and break tags you can make them output as anything you want (div within a blockquote if you wanted!), and there are a few other options as well. Best example I can give is on my site, the menu you see on the side and top uses my plugin. Its default settings create’s an unordered list that include every section in alphabetical order.

Enjoy, post/email any comments or suggestions.

mdp_SectionMenu v0.1

wow, the title of this thread got really messed up.

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu

I know this may be inproper BB use, but I just wanted to say I left a topic for you (greenrift) here, and I couldn’t find any way to contact you through this or your site. Again, sorry for the irrelevent post.

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu

I installed this yesterday and it’s working like a charm. I made a hack on it to make the Home link functionality stop requiring the special “home” addition to the url. Basically, if it is rendering the special home item, it links to the site root.

Change the line:

$tagatts[] = ‘ href=”’.$pfr.$sval.’”’;

to the block:

if($sval != “home”) { $tagatts[] = ‘ href=”’.$pfr.$sval.’”’; } else { $tagatts[] = ‘ href=”/”’; }

Thanks for the great plugin!

Section List will just output all of your sections in alphabetical order. It’s an all or nothing kind of thing. My plugin lets you rearrange the order, remove certain sections, and a link to your root directory. It’s section_list with some additional functionality.

Re: [archived] mdp_SectionMenu

This is a nice plugin, I am wondering though:

- why do you use a “span” for each li in the generated html code? As far as I can see, a span is not needed there.
.
- how could I use an “id” option, instead of the “class” option?

I use the span tags around the text of the link so that if someone wanted to use FIR or similiar method they could.

There is none currently, but you could edit the source (click on the plugin link, and edit it using the textarea) and where it says “$class = (!empty($atts[‘class’])…” replace the part following it ‘ class=”’.$atts[‘class’]’”’ with ‘ id=”’.$atts[‘class’].’”’ (make sure to include that space before “id”).

I’ll add a real ID option and post it up later today.

Aha, that (the FIR) makes sense;

Thanks for adding the “ID” option.
