Features / Usability


menu customization

in my menu navigation, and your tikiwiki navigation seen to the right here, we have
MyTiki followed by
MyTiki home

Wiki followed by
Wiki home

Image Galleries followed by
Galleries

For the majority of these categories on my site, I am not using any other subdirectory but those. Those are repeat links from their header.

I would like, instead of repeating the header link once beneath each header, to list my Image Galleries, Directory Categories, etc. How to do set up my menu thus:
Image Galleries followed by
ImageGallery1
ImageGallery2
ImageGallery3

Directories followed by
Directory1
Directory2
Directory3

I would at least like to do this for non-Admin users.

See this pageQuestion for some basic information on making custom menus. Basically you need to configure your items like this:

Directories - item type: section
Directory1 - item type: option
Directory2 - item type: option
Directory3 - item type: option

and so on. "Sections" are the "folder" items. "Options" are the items nested within the folder.

Look at the details of an existing menu to see what information is input.

Also, each menu item has a number. This sequence of numbers determines the order that the menu items will appear in. But these numbers don't have to be sequential. In other words, you can give your items numbers like 5, 10, 15, 20. Then if you want to add a new item between existing items — say a new item 11, you won't have to increase all the numbers of the items that follow the new one.

Whyle iditing the menu, you will be able to insert an URL, if you want to keep things simple, you can simply give every menu item a name and the link from the page you wan't it to apoint.
so the done menu would look something like this when editing it at tiki-admin_menus.php

IDpositionnameurltypesectionspermissionsgroupaction
1Image Galleriestiki-galleries.phps
5Image Gallerie1tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=1o
10Image Gallerie2tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=2o
15Image Gallerie3tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=3o


where the "tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=x" are linkt to each galery with "x" being a number apointing to diferent galeries.
the "s" and "o" things are the item types "section" and "option" Gary was talking about.
they just define if that "piece" of the menu will "open" like a folder when clicked. just try aroun a little and you will figure out exactly what that means 😁

same thing with directorie menu:

IDpositionnameurltypesectionspermissionsgroupaction
1Directorieslink to the main directories pages
5Directory1link to first directorieo
10Directory2link to second directorieo
15Directory3link to third directorieo


i hope i helped, maybe you just got more confused by my help 😁
if something isn't clear ask again 😉


Thanks. You two were great & saved me days.
