Hi,

I have the same problem as ishnock... I am pretty certain I have followed the instruction correctly, placed Js file, but can't see a difference; no collapsing menu... could anyone have a look please?

my page

thank you!!

hey guys, can I please get some help on this? I followed the instructions, but yet and still, my menu does not retract or collapse.

From my perspective, the code looks fine, but you guys are the experts, and can spot errors dead on.

: )

@Petz: Your page seems to be working fine... Hold down shift+click refresh in case it doesn't appear right (maybe a cache browser issue?)

@ishnock: What's step 7 in the javascript exactly...?

hi,

i have the same problem as ishnock.

nothing happened. and i believe i have save it.

can anyone help?

Please have a look: Webpage

thank you.

it's working now. never mind. thanks!

Arsondpi:

There is no step seven for the javascript. There is a step 7 for the index.php file, which I followed

The file was saved and uploaded to the sample folder. However, my menu is still not collapsible

my page

I have read and re-read these posts on the expandable menu many times over, and still can't seem to get mine to work. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I'm pretty sure I have followed all the steps correctly - my code looks the same as other people's sites that work (as far as I can tell!) and I definitely have the js file uploaded to the correct folder.

For some reason, my links have no movement at all -they look exactly the same as before, but now on every page I have the "setTimeout('move_up()', 1);    expandingMenu(1);     expandingMenu(2); expandingMenu(3); " text in a line at the top of the page.

Obviously I must have something wrong in the code as the javascript does not appear to be activated.

I feel as though I am going around and around in circles searching for the answer in this forum.

If anyone can help me - pleeeease do!

Thank you!
Mel

Sorry please ignore my post above - I have now sorted the problem! I had accidentally pasted one line of text one line above where it should have been. I didn't realise that would stop it from working. Ahhhhh sign of relief.... it is now working - yay!

...Now onto fix all the other problems I'm having!!! hehe

Hello, just starting out on here and loving it. New to web and coding and such, and am enjoying looking up each new thing in forums and such to figure out how to do the things I want to do! However this one thing I cannot figure out.

Submenu items in my expandable menu appear fuzzy until you click on one of them, at which point they all clear up.

I've seen several other people with the same problem, but there hasn't been a clear answer to the issue, other than maxing the speed of the expanding menus to 0. I've found several other sites on here that have clear fonts on their sections before clicking an item, so I know it can be done. I've looked at their code but can't figure out the difference.

Example of working menu site

Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

@ Lashford:

Update your jquery :)

kwmaher! Thank you! For anyone else with the same problem, google jquery, go to their site, download the latest version and overwrite the existing "jquery" file in your site's "js" folder with the new one you downloaded.

Thanks again!

Hi all,

So I'm also trying to implement these collapsable menus, but for some reason my section headers disappear as well. I feel like it may have something to do with my div tags, but I'm not sure. This is my site. So, the links are there, but they're kind of hidden.

As an added problem that might make Vaska yell at me, this same problem is hiding my "Built with Indexhibit" text as well! I'm going to get booted off the island!

1. $(document).ready(function()
2. {
3.     setTimeout('move_up()', 1);  
4.     expandingMenu(0); 
5.     expandingMenu(1); 
6.     expandingMenu(2);
7.     expandingMenu(3);
8.     expandingMenu(4);
9. });
10. </script>

And my js is from Ross. The other thing that might have tripped it up is the fact that I used Cufon and I'm still having trouble calibrating it.

is it possible to get expandingMenus.js to drop down every section?
I have to get rid of the num var and get all the ul tags in:

1. var item_title = $("#menu ul").eq(num).children(":first");
2.     var items = $("#menu ul").eq(num).children().filter(function (index) { return index > 0; });

    
but how?!
the previously posted js is not working for me even with the new jquery.js

in my menu the text-algin is center so the subsection drops out from the left side. how can I change this?

Hello!
I am new to indexhibit and web design all together...

I have been trying to get the expanding menus working on my site but cannot work out why it is simply not working.
can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Because you have not added the expandingmenus.js file to your template.

Hello Vaska,

sorry but I did copy the expandingmenus.js file in the ndxz-studio/js And in ndxz-studio/site/js but nothing happens to my menues. Do i need to modify the template.php somehow?
thank you :-)

Yes, it's in the instructions in this thread.

hi again, hmm, sorry but i have gone through rosscairns's steps many times over and re-read the thread but i can't find the instructions that would solve my problem.
i did change the index.php in the sample template as ross indicated. i cannot find any instructions on how to modify the template.php
:-(
can you help?
thanks!

Haha! Let's play a game.

Beewoo? Beewo? beewoo? bewu?

beewoo!

Next.

menu? menue? menus? menues?

;)

geez!!
spelling is not my strength....

thanks a lot Vaska.
this is a great tool :-)

Hello, i have a quick Q maybe someone can answer. I have my menu now aligned to the right but now the vertical accordion motion has been replaced with the list flying in from the left? how can i change this?

many thanks!

Hello,

I just started playing around with Indexhibit and added Ross Cairns expandable menu.
I have the same problem as some other people on this thread had, that one section is open when you go to the site.
I read through the whole thread, but I still don't know how to fix it.
It also shows 'Weekend Knack' as the first page and I don't want this.
I can see in the code the 'Weekend Knack' link looks different then the other ones, but I don't know enough of coding to know how to change it or why this is.
And I can't just delete it either, it doesn't have a trashcan like the other sections.
I tried to hide it, but then my site is still called Weeked Knack: Ellen van Engelen when I first enter it.
Did I use this part for the wrong purpose?

Thanks!
Ellen

Hello. I have read this whole thread and found that others have fixed this problem, but I can't get my menus to collapse! I am a total beginner, so pardon if I missed something crucial-
-I downloaded rcairns' expandingmenus.js and put it in my js folder
-I added the expandingMenu(1)... text and saved
-I also copied it into my template.php (I only saw brief mentions of modifying the template.php, I may have done this part incorrectly?)
-I also downloaded the new jquery and had it overwrite the existing file
-nothing has happened on the website.

any help or suggestions appreciated! indexhibit rules.

thanks.

Hello,
I apologize in advance to put the same question. I must be stupid but I think I have done everything right: modified index.php and added expandingMenus.js in js.
I want to make the menu "Archive" on my site down and it does not work. The address is www.severinemonsonego.com
Many thanks !

@ severine :
what is wrong here ?

1. $(document).ready(function()
2. {
3.     setTimeout('move_up()', 1; expandingMenu (5); });
4. </script>

You have 5 sections, but the first is 0, so you go from 0 to 4.
It's more something like

1. $(document).ready(function()
2. {
3.     setTimeout('move_up()', 1);
4.     expandingMenu(1);
5.     expandingMenu(2);
6.     expandingMenu(3);
7.     expandingMenu(4);
8. });
9. </script>

And if you just want the fourth section to hide… What do you have to do?
;)

Say if it works.

@ katieh :
do you choose to hide the title sections (in the sections sectings of your panel) ?

@lemathieu
en français ? j'ai remplacé par
setTimeout('move_up()', 1; expandingMenu (4); });
... ça ne marche toujours pas... ... still doesn't work
(je ne veux que la rubrique "archives" déroulante)
:(

oh yeah, it works !
thanks !

Ok, I just see on thing in your template that look weird…
Erase the space between "expandingMenu" and "(4)".

Try it, and say how it works.

En français?
vire l'espace entre "expandingMenu" et "(4)", il n'a rien a faire là…

;)

expandingmenus.js file? where is that and how can i put it in the js file? am sorry, i have been following and doing many of the things mentioned above but i always seem to be missing something? can someone please help, i need to get the collapsible menus to work. thanx a bunch.

Sorry, forgot, this is my site:
http://blueground.org/

i think its a mess here, so sorry, just started to learn here!

thanx in advance

You've got these hashes in your script... delete them...

1. # expandingMenu(0);
2. # expandingMenu(1);
3. ....

1. expandingMenu(0);
2. expandingMenu(1);
3. ....

see if this works...

I was wondering if anyone could help me with what appears to be an opacity issue with my drop-down menu. What is weird is it looks fine on the PC here at work but choppy on my Mac at home. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

My site - http://dylanmccrae.com/

I have been happy to take my time and read through the forums to work things out, but my site got outed two weeks early this morning via an unforeseen press release this morning haha

What is weird ? On Mac at work, everything is fine !

Hi All,

I've looked all over the place but I can't find anything about how to make my menu (as in the box the links are in) get bigger and smaller automatically when my collapsing menu opens and closes. I have tried height: auto; in #menu { but it just makes it go the full length of the page. Any idea's?

Thanks, EmuNeck

For anyone with the same question, I found this thread 5657 which pretty much explains what I was looking for. I figured it out using this thread but in the processes decided I like it without a background menu. Happy days!

Has anyone found out any solution to the expanding menu of Ross' script so that the menu stays expanded when you stay in the same menu?

Hello !

I followed the steps and collapsable menus are working fine for me.

The only thing is I'm not able to make them close before opening a new one.

@ mitch who posted the code: where tu put it in order to make it work like in your Webpage ? After several test I'm lost with this it.

p.s. my site

Thanks !

Hello Elias,
the site you're talking about is using thenine scipt, as mine.
Download it here but understand that you need to upgrade your jquery to the last one (just download it from their site, rename it jquery.js and upload it to your server, replacing the existing one).
And you will lost exhibition format (slideshow if I remember well), but you can upgrade to the slideviewerpro (search the forum).

Merci Mathieu !

It's working fine ! Just one detail, since I modified it when I put the cursor above the menu section it doesn't look like a link (little hand with pointing finger) anymore.

Any idea ? Sorry I'm really goofy with coding..

#menu ul li.section-title { cursor: pointer; }

Use the search box next time !
;)

You right..

Anyway thanks for the quick answer, I really appreciate it ! Works perfectly now..

Hi all,

So I'm also trying to implement these collapsable menus, but for some reason my section headers still the same. I followed Ross Cairns steps many times and nothing happens. I've been reading the different people post but it gets the point of confusion. Please if anyone can give me a hand with this I would appreciated. The web Im working is www.diaro.co.uk

First, Indexhibit is so rad and I'm very appreciative of all of the development and support that you've committed to this project.

I've followed Ross Cairns' steps for a collapsable menu, and I've even tried Vaska's version and thenine's version. I've returned to Ross' original version, but still, it's not working. i followed the edits for index.php and expandingmenus.js is in my js folder.

My site's still very basic as I'm testing everything before I upload all of the content.

Any idea of what I've done incorrectly?
my site

Many thanks.

nevermind... i kept trying and finally, finally got it :) i'll save my questions for another problem as this may not be the last!

Hey,

I've been trying to get the collapsable menus to work on my site, but am running into problems early on. Following Ross Cairns steps, when I look at my index.php file (located in /ndzx-studio/site/sample/) which is a plain text document (1.5kb), the only script is "• Built with Indexhibit", there is no other script...

Am I doing something stupidly wrong? Any help would be really appreciated.

My site is: mattodell.co.uk

Hi,

mysite

I have the same problem of Moss, as my menu is aligned to the right.
can someone help me?
thanks!

Hi Guys,

I've been going through Cairn's tutorial step by step and still can't seem to get the collapsible menus to work. I've thoroughly gone through the edits but I'm obviously doing something wrong.

It would be greatly appreciated if a second pair of eyes can check this out.

Danke!
