Hi all, following the same topic, I'm going to ask about my problem
and at the same time, maybe help John with the menu creation process
I have created menus using the products I had imported in a catalog
with the UI Menu tab, which worked fine, as long as I use only one
flyout menu on my pages.
I'm trying to have 3 horizontal flyout menus bars. I made my menus, used
the COMMON_MENU
variable file and copied it to 3 other files like this
NEST_PRODUCTS_MENU,
NEST_PROFILE_MENU, NEST_CLIENTS_MENU.
In these 3 variable files, I have changed the [menu name=......] and
js_prefix=
so that they all have different names and prefix.
So I have my 3 files in ~/variables and 3 menu files in
~/includes/menus.
I edited the LEFTRIGHT_TOP with the UI to add:
[output name=nest_clients_menu]__NEST_Clients_Menu__[output name=trash]
[output name=nest_profile_menu]__NEST_Profile_Menu__[output name=trash]
[output name=nest_products_menu]__NEST_Products_Menu__[output
name=trash]
The footer will use [unpack.... leftright...]
I edited the ~/includes/layout/leftright file to add lines to unpack my
3 menus using:
<tr height="100"><td colspan="2">
<div width="100%"
class="navigation_bar">{{NEST_PROFILE_MENU}}</div>
</td></tr>
<tr height="100"><td colspan="2">
<div width="100%"
class="navigation_bar">{{NEST_PRODUCTS_MENU}}</div>
</td></tr>
<tr height="100"><td colspan="2">
<div width="100%"
class="navigation_bar">{{NEST_CLIENTS_MENU}}</div>
</td></tr>
In the end, my 3 rows are there, my 3 menus are there, but the flyout
parts
only work on the top one, the other 2 below don't work, with the
exception of
1 link in another menu that opens a submenu from the 1st menu!!
I am not very good with javascripts, so I would appreciate hints to
resolve
this matter.
Thank you all
