Yes, ask your host to let-you use a correct version of PHP: Ie 5.2XX
As you can see, 5.3 brakes compatibility with previous versions. And this will breakes a lot of websites on his server, i cannot imagine that.
And it is a shame this version is not named as php 2.6 with a BIG warning as this version is not compatible with previous 5 versions. !!!
An other solution is to change your php code according to the errors with non deprecated code... But there is a lot of chances that you will got hundreds of similar errors with Joomla, or other addons: I tried PHP 5.3 on my server, and give-it up: too much work...

Woods · Post by **Woods** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 11:04 am

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. My host won't downgrade. As you suggested that leaves us: adjusting the Extended Menu.
Joomla! CMS (as well as a lot of extentions) has been php 5.3.x certified since version 1.5.15, it would be great if someone could make the Extended Menu compatible with php 5.3.x too. Anyone?

Regards,
Paul

Had-you tried: AddType application/x-httpd-php52 .php in your htacess ?
If not, can-you publish the code at the faulty lines ? We will give-you a fix...

In your php.ini, set error level to "error_reporting(E_ALL);"
Just copy and paste here the error messages concerning your problem.

Hi, I just installed this module after trying at least 5 different non-commecial solutions. this one seems to be by far the best!

I am a beginner, so, one little problem its puzzling me. somehow, all my menu items appear as 'sublevel'. while the class mainlevel appears on the top, in blank.

colors are weird and the menu is not really stylished yet, but I believe my problem is to understand all the 'parameters' at the Module management page.

All the itens of my menu are already assigned. if they all appear as sublevel, then i have no way of making a difference between itens and subitens.. what i am doing wrong? How can I make my main itens to appear as class 'mainlevel'??
this is the prototype:

thank you!

Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere in this forum. I've searched and searched and haven't found an answer that has worked for me.

I am using:
Joomla: ver. 1.5.14
Not sure of the extended menu version, but should be the most recent as I downloaded it from the site recently.

The menu displays properly in user 3 position, but the problem is that the submenus do not appear. They're not being rendered at all.

I'll try to give as much info as I can to help anyone who can give me a solution.

The site is http://rmjetalumni.org/cms. There are submenus created for the About and Links tabs in the Menu Item Manager, but as you can see, they do not show at all when you mouse over or click those items on the website.

I have installed the extended menu module and enabled it in the module manager. I've also disabled the main menu module (standard Joomla menu that I was using).

Extended Menu settings are as follows:
-Position: user3
-Order: 0::Main Menu
-Menu Assignment-Menus: All

-Menu Class Suffix: -son-of-suckerfish-horizontal
-Module Class Suffix: -son-of-suckerfish-horizontal
-Enable Cache: No
-Menu Name: mainmenu (this is the name of my menu)
-Source Type: Menu
-Menu Style: Flat List
-Expand Menu: Yes
-Hide First Entry: No
-Show Parent: No
-Begin with current item level: No
-Enable query cache: No
-Parse access key: Strip markup
-Level class: Default
-Active menu class: both
-Element ID: No
-Enable menu template: Yes
-Template name: menu.html
-Resolve itemid by content item: No
-Current/active item highlighting: Smart - item id or other
-Current item duplicates: convert to active

For each submenu, I've copied the extended menu module and changed settings to:
For the submenu under About:
-Position: user3
-Order: 2::Extended Menu
-Menu Assignment-Menus: Select menu items from list (I've selected only items under About)

-Menu Class Suffix: -son-of-suckerfish-horizontal
-Module Class Suffix: -son-of-suckerfish-horizontal
-Enable Cache: No
-Menu Name: mainmenu (this is the name of my menu)
-Source Type: Menu
-Menu Style: Tree List
-Expand Menu: Yes
-Hide First Entry: No
-Show Parent: No
-Parent menu item: 38 (this is the id of the About menu)
-Begin with current item level: Yes
-Menu count: 1
-Enable query cache: No
-Parse access key: Strip markup
-Level class: Default
-Active menu class: none
-Element ID: No
-Enable menu template: No
-Template name: menu.html
-Resolve itemid by content item: Yes
-Current/active item highlighting: Smart - item id or other
-Current item duplicates: convert to active

I'm sure that I must be doing something wrong in the backend as I know that there are many people using this combo for horizontal menus with no issues.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated as I've been searching and playing with this for months.

Please Help - Sorry, I posted the original problem here - http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=556870

bzbeauty · Post by **bzbeauty** » Mon Oct 18, 2010 2:30 am

Dear Woods,

I don't know if you got a response yet since it's been over a month. But the new version of php won't allow instantiations that look like...

Code: Select all

$view     =& new ListExtendedMenuView();

so I replaced it with...

Code: Select all

$view     = new ListExtendedMenuView();

but then again, that might be the cause of my problem... It works but it displays the wrong menu options.

ok, i'm quite keen to try this module, but I'm stuck at square one! how do I make a new menu that uses the extended menu module? I can make a new menu, but it seems to only let me make a standard one... I know I'm missing something basic, sorry, can someone help me?

elasticgirl · Post by **elasticgirl** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 10:22 am

Hi 1984Carol,
1) download the module http://de.siteof.de/extended-menu.html
2) download the template http://de.siteof.de/extended-menu-templates.html
3) upload both following the instructions
4) search "Extended Menu" in the Extension>Manager Module and enable it
5) in the Parameter of "Extended Menu" select the Menu name to apply this extension
6) don't forget setup the Menu Class Suffix to -suckerfish and the Template Name following the path of your template (see the instruction http://de.siteof.de/extended-menu.html)
that's all...

Ok, this plugin is probably not for me, because I don't know which template to install, if that affects the look of my page, and I don't know how to setup the menu class suffix!

1984Carol · Post by **1984Carol** » Mon Dec 20, 2010 2:35 am

OK I think I've resolved it now. I just had to read the instructions for the installation of the template for the menu a bit more slowly...

In case anyone's wondering, you can install the template for the menu in a subfolder of your template, so it doesn't change the look of the site. It's just css to drive the menu... I think.

I'm still not sure what all the suffix stuff is about...? But for me I suppose it doesn't matter - yet.

Thanks.

vitaforse · Post by **vitaforse** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 6:42 pm

Hello,

I am new to this great module and have some questions.

1) Is it possible to have individual id or class name to each <li> tag?
Maybe it is possible to use some hack?

Using extended-menu-module-1.0.6.zip
Settings:
Menu Style -> CSS tree
Level Class -> Mainlevel and Sublevel
Active Menu Class -> Both
Element Id -> Yes

At the moment menu structure is such:

Code: Select all

<ul id="menulist_root-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal" class="mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal" >
<li> <a href="/--" class="mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal" id="menulink_1-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal">About Joomla!</a></li>
<li> <a href="/--" class="mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal" id="menulink_2-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal">Features</a></li>
<li> <a href="/---" class="mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal" id="menulink_3-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal">News</a></li>
</ul>

It will be great if will be something like this (id="item1" mentioned as example):

Code: Select all

<ul id="menulist_root-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal" class="mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal" >
<li id="item1"> <a href="/--" class="mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal" id="menulink_1-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal">About Joomla!</a></li>
<li id="item2"> <a href="/--" class="mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal" id="menulink_2-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal">Features</a></li>
<li id="item3"> <a href="/---" class="mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal" id="menulink_3-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal">News</a></li>
</ul>

2) I have submenus. When my cursor is on top level menu item, it's highlighted. If I move cursor on submenu item, why top level menu item not highlighted anymore?

Is it possible to do what top level menu item will be always highlighted while my cursor is on child menu item?

Give me to know, If I am not clear enoght

Thank you

Extended menu is really great, it does many things, and I was planning to put it on my 1.6 site. But then I joined the joomlart club, and it has the ability to publish modules as menus. So now I can put a sitemap in a module and use that. There's a couple of ways to do it...

LucasMac · Post by **LucasMac** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 3:32 am

Got the same error

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /var/www/modules/mod_exmenu-j15/exmenu/...

like the second poster.
From that module:
Extended Menu for Joomla / Mambo 4.5.1-4.5.2.3
Version: 1.0.6
Copyright (C) 2005-2009 Daniel Ecer
http://de.siteof.de/

After I changed all parts, where the code look like:

Code: Select all

 $var = & new Class();

The menu shows x-times the last menu-item.
To prevent this I changed in the file modules/mod_exmenu-j15/exmenu/loader/menu.menuloader.class.php
the function addMenuItemMenuNodes to this:

Code: Select all

function addMenuItemMenuNodes(&$parentMenuNode, &$menuItemList, $minExpand, $openActiveOnly, $level = 0) {
		$parseAccessKeys			= $this->parseAccessKey;
		$menuNodeList = array();
		foreach(array_keys($menuItemList) as $key) {
			$menuItem		=& $menuItemList[$key];

			$menuNodeList[$key] = new MenuNode();
			foreach(get_object_vars($menuItem) as $k => $field) {
				if ((!is_object($field)) && (!is_array($field)) && (substr($k, 0, 1) != '_')) {
					$menuNodeList[$key]->$k = $field;
				}
			}
			if (($menuNodeList[$key]->active) ||  (!$openActiveOnly) || ($level < $minExpand - 1)) {
				$menuNodeList[$key]->expanded	= TRUE;	// active menu items are expanded
			}
			$name		= $menuNodeList[$key]->name;
			if ($parseAccessKeys > 0) {
				$menuNodeList[$key]->accessKey	= $this->parseAccessKey($menuNodeList[$key]->name, $parseAccessKeys);
			}
			$this->menuNodeByIdMap[$menuNodeList[$key]->id]		=& $menuNodeList[$key];
			$this->menuNodeByNameMap[$menuNodeList[$key]->name]	=& $menuNodeList[$key];
			if ($name != $menuNodeList[$key]->name) {
				$this->menuNodeByNameMap[$name]				=& $menuNodeList[$key];
			}
			if (isset($menuItem->_children)) {
				$children	=& $menuItem->_children;
				$this->addMenuItemMenuNodes($menuNodeList[$key], $children, $minExpand, $openActiveOnly, $level + 1);
			}
			$parentMenuNode->addChildNode($menuNodeList[$key]);
		}
	}

Hope it helps somebody, too.

Cheers,
Lucas
