Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Oh no, this looks like a big problem. This code was supposedly tested in IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera, Netscape, Mozilla and Safari (PC).

I cannot see it in IE8 or Firefox 3. What kind of browsers are you using? The code is working on the site I got the coding from http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/pro_drop2.html so any idea why it won't work here?

I really need a think tank going for this one - please!!!!

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Guess it must be down to which browser we are using as my demo and myjaydee are both working for me.

I have the same problem with attachments sometimes........works when I create them and not when I test in IE or FF............crazy..........

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

David, neither (yours or myjaydee) is working when I click on them either.
Just so you know.

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Yes they are working OK............must be your browser not handling the code !!

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Hi David,

This is really bizarre. I've gone to your link and on my computer the drop down menu doesn't work. Can you please check on your computer to see if my pages' drop down menu www.????.co.uk/faq.php and www.????.co.uk/html_include_box.html

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

No it works so forget my comment on the css code.

Here is a quick one that I tested using the code on your page link
and the menus dropdown OK

Hi David, OOOPS forgot the link

MMMM. I'm a newbie to website building. I thought that the CSS code would be included here www.????.co.uk/pro_two.html Am I wrong, and if I am, where would I find the css code? Here is the site where I got this menu from.

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

<?php
include 'menu.html';
?>
instead of
<?
include 'h1.php';
?>

Naval also mentions that you can use either, it dosnt matter.

Did you also copy/upload the css code to the same folder as your menu page and your other pages ?

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP - using CSS Menu

Hi Chris,

Ah, see you're in London! I'm down in Sussex.

That's a really good page you've put up. It'll help tons of people with their overall layout. I'd suggest if you could get Naval to post it together at the top of this thread. I just noticed something though. Naval's using
<?php
include 'menu.html';
?>
instead of
<?
include 'h1.php';
?>
(i.e. difference being the php after the first question mark) I don't know if that will make a difference to things - but I think it might be confusing to people if two different instructions are coming through.

Unfortunately, this doesn't solve my problem. I was able to make this work using BlueVoda's own menu's without any problem. But as BlueVoda has limited menu's and no extended drop down ones I have been trying to use a CSS menu. This is where the problem lies. It works on it's own! BUT when I try to incorporate it into BlueVoda pages - the menu itself shows but the drop down facility ceases to exist. If you take a look at the pages I've mentioned above you should be able to see what I mean. Any ideas?

I know I'm being greedy but if anyone else wants to join in on this thread - please feel welcome!

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Hi, its that time of year for bugs UK as well. I see naval has mentioned about a quicker way of doing this. So i made a quick page that might help. LINK See if this helps.

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Hi Chris, Sorry but a serious case of the flu left me unable to stand looking at the computer screen. Hope you've had a good Christmas.

I've spent all day again trying to get this to work. I noticed that Naval has posted new instructions with this, but I still keep on getting the same result. There must be something going on with the encoding - which I know nothing at all about.

Please could you please give me a hand with this or put me in the direction of someone else. Disregard all the top links as they're all ripped out.

Here is the link that shows the menu on it's own (created in Notepad and uploaded via BlueFTP). The drop downs work. www.????.co.uk/pro_two.html

When I then use the
<?php
include 'pro_two.html';
?>
(as per Naval's new instructions) in an existing php page the menu appears but it does not drop down). See www.????.co.uk/faq.php

You mentioned that I should place the menu in a BV page and publish. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, but I have created a page and included an html box to include the menu and have exactly the same thing - menu shows but no drop-down. Please look at http://www.????.co.uk/html_include_box.html as I can't explain this properly to you. Is this what you meant or is there something I'm totally missing?

I have probably spent 2 weeks or more just trying to find an appropriate menu and trying to get it to work (and I'm not making any income - it's all going to come from the website) so I'm now getting desperate so I really need a hand with this from someone.

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Hi, why are you not placing your menu on a BV page & publishing???

[myjaydee]

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Hi Chris,

Thanks for coming back to me.

I know that those were missing - the menu page was up to show that it actually did work. But here's the results when I enter the coding that you've suggested:

http://www.????.co.uk/home.php
http://www.????.co.uk/menu_stu_2.php

Note the menu page here was created from notepad and uploaded via BlueFTP.

I have also tried to create the menu page within Blue Voda itself and the results are the same.

http://www????.co.uk/home_5.php
http://www.????.co.uk/menu_stu_5.php

I realize that as this is now a function (no, I really don't know what that means) the menu only pages will show blank. But what is totally strange is that if you view the source, virtually everything is invisible.

I really do appreciate your helping me with this - fingers crossed!!!
