Having Two sommaires loaded

Corporal Joined: Sep 27, 2003 Posts: 60

Hi there

I need some comments on how I might be able to get this solution. I have guessed a solution down at the bottom

I require two sommaires to be loaded.

One in a vertical Fashion (block(left)) and one for a horizontal fashion (center(block)).

The reason I require this is because my site is set to constraints of 800x600. When I am in the forum,its pretty small with the block(left) there.

So when ever I want to view the forum, Im gonna disable the left(block), and enable the center(block)

In the sommaire Admin panel, I require two of them (Admin Buttons so I can set one block to vertical,the other horizontal) and have two blocks loaded.

My guessed solution.

Copy folders over for 2nd sommaire but rename the four .php files to
/html/blockks/block-sommaire1.php
/html/admin/case/case.sommaire1.php
/html/admin/links/links.sommaire1.php
/html/admin/modules/sommaire1.php

and edit the files to point to the relevant table

Modifying a new table is a bit duaunting for me Syntax wise.

To make/insert a second table, would I just have to change the

Code:

CREATE TABLE `nuke_sommaire`

to

Code:

CREATE TABLE `nuke_sommaire1` (

Orig Sommaire SQL

Code:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `nuke_sommaire`;
CREATE TABLE `nuke_sommaire` (
`groupmenu` int(2) NOT NULL default '0',
`name` varchar(200) default NULL,
`image` varchar(99) default NULL,
`lien` text,
`hr` char(2) default NULL,
`center` char(2) default NULL,
`bgcolor` tinytext,
`invisible` int(1) default NULL,
`class` tinytext,
PRIMARY KEY (`groupmenu`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

OK.Been playin round with it.

Realised I could put an absolute value into block-sommaire1 for the Horizontal
1 for Horizontal, 0 for vertical

Code:

// voilà, si $newpms[0]>0 --> il y a des PMs non lus //

$flagmenu = 1; // flag qui est mis automatiquement à "1" quand il y a un module dans la rubrique 99
// --> permet d'afficher 1 seule fois la barre horizontale.

But still not showing up in top. Am gonna research the top(block)

well, you guessed right : you can have 2 sommaires installed, but it will require some modifications !

1. rename all files to xxxxxx1.php
2. add new DB tables
3. edit all sommaire files in order to modify each time a file and/or DB table is called.

unfortunately, the $flagmenu does not make the menu 'horizontal' : this is just an internal variable wich i use for displaying an horizontal bar (html code < hr > ) under the last categorie, if a module exists and does not belong to a categorie (so all active/not hidden modules will be shown, not only the one specified in the menu admin).

i don't knwo if i understood correctly what you want :

for an horizontal sommaire, you want this type of display :

Category 1 Category 2 Category 3
Module 1 Module 1 Link 1
Module 2 Module 2 Module 2

instead of :

Cat 1
mod1
mod2

Cat2
mod1
mod2

Cat3
link1
mod2

is that right ?

==> for that you will have to modify the code of the block...
it is possible, though, because it's html code. but it'll require some modifications because i made while conditions in the code you'll probably have to modify all the behaviour of this part of code.

i'll check if i can do that rapidly, but if (as i guess) it'll require too much time, i won't be able to do it myself, because i'm quite in a hurry right now...

Ok. I have renamed

admin/case/case.sommaireh.php
admin/link/link.sommaireh.php
admin/modules/sommaireh.php
blocks/block-Sommaireh.php

found relevant sommaire mathces in all files and replaced with sommaireh
found relevant matches to somaire_categorie and replaced with somaire_categorieh

renamed

Code:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `nuke_sommaire[b]h[/b]`;
CREATE TABLE `nuke_sommaire[b]h[/b]` (

and

Code:

INSERT INTO `nuke_sommaire[b]h[/b]`

and

Code:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `nuke_sommaire_categories[b]h[/b]`;
CREATE TABLE `nuke_sommaire_categories[b]h[/b]` (

and

Code:

INSERT INTO `nuke_sommaire_categories[b]h[/b]`

Now I got a couplee admin menus in the control panel

So far have trimmed a bit of the html in blocks/block-sommaireh.php

more or less like this
<html>
<table width="100%"><tr><td>

<table><tr><td>Category(1)</td></tr>
<tr><td>Module(1)</td><td>Module(2)</td><td>Module(3)</td></tr></table>

<table><tr><td>Category(2)</td></tr>
<tr><td>Module(1)</td><td>Module(2)</td><td>Module(3)</td></tr></table>

<table><tr><td>Category(3)</td></tr>
<tr><td>Module(1)</td><td>Module(2)</td><td>Module(3)</td></tr></table>

</td></tr></table>
</html>

You could probably fit 9 or so "modules menus" (1024x768)

I have still have some lil probs I am working on, some which I may of created and others making it look better
(Disabling Admin menu; maybe just one physical link)
(overflow of unwanted menus and one phantom horizontal rule<hr> Very Happy

)
(Remove Title above; "Main Menu")
(Remove extra paragraph at bottom)

Its been a couplee months since I coded so I am pretty slow

Tell me, do i need to change anything else in case.sommaireh.php? It seems to work just like this. (MySql knowledge is pretty newbieish)

Code:

case "sommaireh":
case "deletecat":
case "send":
case "upgrade":

back to the code

Why does my html and bolds not show up. Gee what a day.

well, you're doing a good job Wink

the case.sommaireh.php file does not need to be modified more than you did. Wink

--> the functions of sommaireh.php can have the same name than the functions in sommaire.php, if you modified sommaire to sommaireh everywhere.

Heres somethin I can show ya at mo

I need to get it slimmer

Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2003 3:29 am

ok, so to get it slimmer you'll have to modify the images : its their height that makes your bar thick.

try the same menu without image, you'll see how slim you can make the menu. (if you wan it slimmer you'll need to change the font of the text.)

but anyway, i think it'll be easier to make an html 'block' for you... Wink

if you just want to have 4/5 links, and don't want to change it everyday an html block should be easier to do Wink

How do I add content to the categories. For example the first category has 3 content areas, I'd like to have more...

Anyone?

Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2003 4:13 am

when a category has no module/link, 3 blank listboxes are displayed : you can add 3 modules/links.

when you save the changes and come back to the menu admin panel, a new blank list box will appear.

-->you can add module/link one by one.
I thought it was the easiest way to do, because i think the average category will contain 3/4 modules/links, and a few contains more than 5 links.
