Actually I was using 1.5.0.7 not 2.0 and I have my minimum size set to “None”

Interesting, I totally can’t see it in 1.5, but it shows up promptly on 2.0 urgh more investigating

If one were to create a drop down menu (never done it before), would this article be a good way to do it?
http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/

Second, what’s the best way to organise the menu in terms of sections/categories? The main menu item would be the section, the dropdown (one level only) would be the category, since there are no sub-section in TXP.

Thanks for any tips. New at drop downs ;-)

jstubbs,
I used section/article for mine.

You can either throw a category list in a <ul> list (using a the native txp tags or a plugin), or if you have few enough categories, you can do it by hand.

It depends on the level of site you are going for, but often, if you can afford the space, I prefer a good submenu.

Hi Mathew,

Thanks for that. Its for a client actually, and they are likely to add/delete categories as they go, and ask questions later ;-) So, it would be better not to hardcode it.

I am not sure which plugin you are thinking of to list the categories? cbs_category_list perhaps?

Also, did you use the son of susckerfish technique?

Sorry for lame questions, but will for sure get me started ;-)

squaredeye · 2006-11-07 21:52:14

jstubbs,
I used a hacked version of son of suckerfish, and its all there in the css/js/xhtml.
You can use any blugin which will give you the ability to control the categories through a form.

Be aware there are many drawbacks to a dropdown in terms of accessibility, and it should only
be used in ways that limit that as much as possible (IMHO)

Thanks Mathew, I will take a look at putting something together when I get some time. I don’t really want to make this menu, but a client wants it, probably because its “cool”!

Amazing site!
Could you tell me which plugins you use for:

the events? Where can I find more info about this plugin? I’m curious how the backend interface to it looks…
the gallery
the Lightbox_v2 effects

regards,

Johan.

squaredeye · 2006-11-12 22:14:53

Johan,
Thanks. Its working, and that’s what counts!

The events are handled by a new plugin (yet to be released). Which needs more funding. Feel free to contact me about it
if you are in a position to help.

the lightbox and gallery by bas_lightbox

It’s nice to see, how much this thing has evolved.
Lot’s of nifty cruft.
I’ve spent a couple of minutes to dive through ( on Safari ) and it was quite clear to me, where I could find what I need.
(+ The space available is ultimately well handled)

One thing that I kept on thinging, when I scanned through the articles and comments, was, that some little styling on the p
elements could help empasize the text for the former.

regards, marios

Marios,
thanks man, I’m always up for new thoughts.
Were you thinking some more margin(top and bottom) might help?

marios · 2006-11-13 00:52:01

A ditch of top and side padding, will help to improve readability.
How about some p:first-letter ?
Are you allowed to use a ditch of color, then may be you could apply a subtle tone on the header elements.

BTW.: I just discovered a small problem:

TXP seems to wrap double p open tags around some of the headers.

Open this URL and watch out around line 153 of the source code:
http://liberti.org/blog/wisdom-apparent-contradictions-some-lessons-from-3-years-in-a-church-plant#c000039

The first Header, where this occurs is h4 and
reads:
One issue I’ve needed to grow in wisdom on, is my work & rest habits

regards marios
