I’m not sure if this is a halluszination or a PunBB Bug again.
Anyhow,I think I better go to bed now.

(seems like editing doesn’t work here..?)
i forgot to add that i meant “…when viewing the start page for each section”.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rdt_dynamenus - automatic section and article menus
btw, could you please make sure the links are wrapped in a double quotation mark (“”) and not a single (‘’)? the same goes for the class=active thing that misses the quotes.
oh, and one last thing: i’m using class=“current” on everything else, could you add an attribute like active: active; (where one could change that to something else)? would be awesome :)
did i say i like thie plugin a lot? i did, didn’t i? ;)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rdt_dynamenus - automatic section and article menus
I’ve been looking for a plugin that does exactly what your plugin does. Awesome! For the last 6 weeks I have been in contact with a programmer whom I asked to create a plugin that can handle main-navigation and sub-navigation, maybe even sub-sub-navigation by using section, article and article 2 … but now it is here. Great!
Thank you.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rdt_dynamenus - automatic section and article menus
Sorry, I some of the posts on my rdt_dynamenus plugin. It’s nice to know that they fill the same need for others as for me.
nils73:
I wonder what and how an article 2nd level would look like and work.
anton:
i will add an active parameter that defaults to active to both functions
<code>
‘active’ => ‘active’,
</code>
and wrap quotes around $active.
I don’t follow your other request to use double quotes however. single quoted attributes are valid XML and single quotes allow me to use convenient variable interpolation, like so.
<code> $tagatts[] = ($s == $sect) ? “ class=’$active’” : “”; </code>
anton: also, yes it’s expected behavior for a section to select the topmost article. Normally, that’s the latest article but you can control that with the sortby and sortdir attributes. If you display multiple articles in the center content div then you must also ensure they sort in the same sequence in which case you may need to use the chh_article_custom plugin to get that kind of control.
tranquillo: so don’t do that. remember that section names appear in the URL and the ampersand would indicate a CGI parameter. I’ve used it like so “golf_tournament” here at http://spiritofcj.org
harryv: this plugin does lots that section_list does not. for 2 instance, it lets you specify a special section as the “home” section and puts it at the top of the list. It tags the currently selected section with a class=active attribute so you can write CSS to highlight or underline the current section. In general it’s designed to enable a self-configuring, self-maintaining so-called static website. You create a new section and bang, it’s on the menu. add a new article to a section and bang, it’s on the menu. Read the docs.
Michael_art: Did you solve your messy URL problem? If not, perhaps you need to adjust your .htaccess file. when using a subdirectory i’ve found it necessary to adjust the rewrite rule. You may need to say
<code><RewriteRule (.*) /home/michael/public_html/index.php
/code>
andjules: I don’t visualize how categories work. I won’t follow up on your suggestion, until I think i need 3-dimensional menus.
TV? Buglight for humans.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rdt_dynamenus - automatic section and article menus
thanks for your response rdtietjen, i didn’t notice them until now :)
as for double quotes: depending on the DOCTYPE, it’s sometimes valid, sometimes not. sticking to double quotes leaves this up to the site owner to decide, which was also the only thing i was after.
looking forward to 0.4…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rdt_dynamenus - automatic section and article menus
I am experimenting with rdt_dynamenus for my news site template.
Well it perfectly suits my needs,I have a question about this.
I am using the rdt_article menu tag for my sidelinks.Well everything works precisely as expected and exactly the way I had planned it except one thing.
For each article sidelink I would like to display an excerpt summary of the corresponding article(not more then 25 words count)below each link and allso be able to apply a class to it.)
Because I’m new to textpattern I’ll ask first this:Is that something that I could achieve in combination with existing TXP tags,or does the plug in need to be hacked in to allow excerpts.
(Basically from generated XHTML that would make more sense then with definition lists.)
It would be nice to see this wunderfull plug in with more features,
Is there any hack technique that can be used?
regards,marios
