Re: [SOLVED] Foundation 5 framework and textpattern ?
I did a ‘slight’ math error. There are only 80 hexes in a sub-sector… so a more accurate number would be about 5-20 stars per sub-sector. Slightly higher density if in a star cluster.
I’ve seen that kind of menu before. First menu selection, causes a particular second drop down to load, that selection, causes a third particular menu to load. Multiple possibilities for both 2nd and 3rd menu… I’ve never done that before.
I’ll try looking at their source code for that page and see if I can duplicate it.
That might make thing much easier to handle.
Thanks !
edit: its an aspx page, asp.net
My web host is on NetBSD, but I might be able to find a way to use the idea.

Re: [SOLVED] Foundation 5 framework and textpattern ?
Ah. Thanks !
I’ll see if I can implement that on my site. Turkey much later today, so I might be able to do some preliminary work on it.

Re: [SOLVED] Foundation 5 framework and textpattern ?
I finally found a nice script on http://javascriptkit.com/ I tried about 5 of them and decided to use the one linked to next.
Here is what I have done with it so far: test page
I think what I’ll do is use this menu, and let that go to the sector maps.
The sector maps will be image maps that lead to sub-sector maps, which will be image maps leadng to a list of solar systems.
I may make the sub-sectors image maps, for each solar system. Seems kinda painful though.

Re: [SOLVED] Foundation 5 framework and textpattern ?
I found the boulder in my plans.
All articles in textpattern are body only. So a pull down menu that requires anything in the <,head> part of the page is likely a no go. Otherwise it would require extensive coding.
I think I have one I downloaded that doesn’t require a head part. i.e. <,head> … <,/head>
Of course, I could create html pages, one for each sub-sector map. That is a large number; 16 sub-sectors per sector, 792 sectors, a total of 12672 html pages over the next several years. But, I had more html pages than that on my Drive-in movie theater site. So, I’m willing to start typing… but this is vacation week.
I’ll do one sub-sector map at a time.
I could put the header part in a css file, and that wouldn’t make another approach to the 64kb limit.
I’ll poke around over the next week or so and let ya know what I found out. I really have other things to do this weekend.
Like relax.
If the above sounds slightly illegible… I’m tired.

Thanks.
My first home computer was a Sinclair ZX-81 with 1 kilobyte of memory. I later bought the 16Kb ram add-on. And a giant elastic/rubber band to hold it on and not wobble.

Re: [SOLVED] Foundation 5 framework and textpattern ?
Aha ! One of the drop down menus I found doesn’t require anything be put in the <,head>…<,/head> part of my site.
So this menu will lead to image mapped sectors, clicking on the leads to sub-sector maps.
Not all sector maps are image mapped, working on that.
And not all sub-sector map pages have links to the planet maps.
But I’m working on it.
Thanks for the help !
