Hi, Steve. In brief, yes – if I program one in! I’m away from Textpattern for a few weeks, so if you can be patient I’ll sort it out on my return.

Hi Adi

That sounds great – thanks!

I’ve just installed this plugin I keep getting the follwing error message in the admin interface when I try to use it.

Warning: Data too long for column 'event' at row 1 insert into txp_prefs set name = 'adi_menu_write_tab_select_default', val = '0', event = 'adi_menu_admin', html = 'text_input', type = '2', position = '0', prefs_id = 1 in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\example\textpattern\lib\txplib_db.php on line 89

Er … we’ve been here before!

Haha. I completely forgot I’d posted that, sorry. I even did a forum search as well. I’ll have a chat with the IT department to see if we can turn strict mode off.

If the events column is set to“varchar(12)” couldn’t I just change its setting in phpMyAdmin to allow more characters?

It’s a possibility I guess … but probably not ideal – buggering around with the default setup might cock something else up.

I can only assume that the majority of MySQL installations are “relaxed” rather than strict – otherwise I’m sure this problem would rear its ugly head a lot more. If you don’t get any joy with your IT geezers, let me know & I’ll sort out a workaround in adi_menu for you.

Hi Guys,

I had a question about displaying other siblings of a sub-section using adi_menu.

Basically, I have one section with four sub-sections. When you are on the homepage of the main section, there is a sidebar menu that shows the sub-sections as a secondary menu. I’m using the following code to generate the menu:

<code><txp:adi_menu default_first=“0” include_children=“1” active_ancestors=“1” active_parent=“1” active_class=“active_link” sections=’<txp:section />’ menu_id=“sidebar_menu” /></code>

This works well, however, when you click on a sub-section, the menu doesn’t appear. I know the reason why is because <txp:section /> now shows the sub-section and feeds it to the code, and since it doesn’t have any children (only other 3 siblings), the menu disappears.

So here is the dilemma: how do I produce a sub-menu that can appear on all sub-sections on a section without having to insert the parent section name directly into the code? I’m wondering because I have several sections with subsections, and doing it manually for each doesn’t seem like the best way to go.

Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated!

Would this do it for you?

<txp:adi_menu sub_menu_level="2" />

Oh My God! Thanks so much. That was so easy, I feel a little dumb having asked this now.

Would it be possible to also output the parent section of the sub-menu? include_parent=“1” doesn’t work.

No, it’s not currently possible to include the parent in the sub menu. Attribute include_parent=“1” is a throwback to an old way of creating submenus. Maybe it should “do what it says on the tin”!

Normally, a top level menu is shown separately, e.g.:

<txp:adi_menu menu_id="top" include_children="0" />

but that shows all upper level sections.

I can’t recall if I’ve come across such a requirement before.

Highly recommended to use this one if you’re upgrading from before version 1.1.
