The hot Transmenu 2.0 for Joomla is out! Topic is solved

[tanko55]

Hi
I juz installed Sting Rey's Tigra Menu 2.0.1, but it can't work and there is nothing appear at the menu. I think i might screw up something. Could anyone help?

Here was what I do:
1) installed the module at installer->module.
2) do the config at modules->site module: setting is in default. I select "publish" the menu. and then that is it!

Do I miss out some other setting? Anyway must I put in the folder in the modules folder at my server to my templates folder? It seem to me all those files in the modules folder should put into the templates folder! Maybe I might be wrong, so hope someone could tell me the whole procedure of setting up the Sting Rey's Tigra Menu 2.0.1 drop menu......desperately needed help pls.


regards
tanko

Why dodn't you start another thread for Sting Rey's Tigra Menu?

[warmac]

If my memory is correct, you need to defined which menu set will be using tigra menu

Go into site mods, click tigra menu and somewhere in the middle of that page it gives you an option to choose which menu you want to apply tigra too ie main menu, top menu, etc

you have that 1 step to go and it should work,

[jimpa]

Have you set up the child menus to be used with the menus? 

1) Create a new menu item under mainmenu
2) Create another menu item under mainmenu, but this time choose the item in #1 as the parent (there is a pulldown menu called "Parent Item")

This is crucial to making any dropdown menu system work.

By the way, if you want to customize the placement of Transmenu, you need to attack the .transMenu class in the CSS for Transmenu.  Took some work but eventually I was able to put it just where I want.  See attached.

Hi

I just installed Transmenu 2.0 for Joomla on Joomla 1.0.3 and have encounted a problem with my template.

I am using the MS_wideslide template from mambosolutions.com and if I deactivate the menu the template came with and replace it with the much better Transmenu template, NO content appears in the body of the site.

The content blocks are on the site and drawn, but the content itself is missing.  It seems to screw it up somehow?

Does anyone use the MS_wideslide or know what could be causing this problem?

Thanks

Hey ,

If you want to have fast solution and solve it immediately, use Stingrey Tigra menu, fast setup and easy to use. I juz used it couple of days ago.

Did you get it in the same place in Firefox and Internet Explorer?

Good work on the menu. 

How to customise the colors of transmenu. My page colors are brown and trans menu is red. Please advice.

[mlangham]

In the previously mentioned/queried Tigra menu system, it is simply done in the "css" file for the menu.

in a file called: dm-t.css
located in a directory: css
in a directory: dm-t_2-0-1
in the modules directory



hope that helps.

Good work on the menu.

Anyone else have trouble with Transmenu 2.0 and Safari?  It seems that Grandchild menus aren't showing under safari.

This seems to be a Safari issue. I'm not sure if there is anything the author of TransMenu could change to make third-level menus work in Safari.  At any rate, don't worry about it being your site or your implementation.  I've done a lot of messing with TransMenu and looked at a number of sites that use TransMenu successfully, and none of them have third-level (grandchild) menus in Safari.

Not true.  I do!  Safari 2.02 and Transmenu 2.02 DO NOT WORK.  The grandchild menu items are not the only problem.  This is a problem.  Safari represents a reasonably large segment of the browsers out there.  Transmenu needs to work w/ Safari.

[arniej]

Yes, I don't remember which version exactly I tested on, but it was probably recent or current.  Child menus (drop-down or slide-out menus in TransMenu) worked fine in Safari.  Just to be clear, the third-level (grandchild) menus did not appear in Safari.

Hi friends,
There is one thing you may need to know when getting Transmenu to work with all browers.
1. Transmenu will work well on Safari with the defaul templates
2. If you change to another templates (especially those are not HTML validated or contains messy codes) Transmenu may not work
3. The above 2 things maynot right for different version of Safari

Hi,

This has not been my experience at all.  With Safari 2.02 and Transmenu 2.0 in horizontal menu mode, the grandchild menus do not work at all on either rhuk_planetfall or rhuk_solarflare_ii.  Using Mambo 4.5.2.  In fact, the child menus behave differently between the two default templates!  The child menus' text is missing on rhuk_solarflare_ii.  Is Transmenu very sensitive to templates (it shouldn't be).

I've tried this out on 3 different Macs, all running Safari 2.02/latest OSX.

Help! 

This is make-or-break for me and using Transmenu.  I'll have to switch to something else if Safari is not supported, because I am depending heavily on Transmenu for main site navigation. 

Thanks for all your hard work on this - it's excellent software other than the Safari problem.

[mohpa]

I have given up on this menu, mainly because of the Safari issue. After having spent a lot of time, and hoped that the dev team would come out with a solution, I decided to move on. As good as the menu is, it is not an option for me anymore.

[sunsetonline]

Interesting.  I don't remember which version of Safari I tested on, and I don't have a Mac available at the moment.  Could you try the following sites in Safari 2.02 and let us know if their implementations of TransMenu work?

http://www.gowanifamily.com/  (only "Gallery" and "User Menu" have submenus)

http://www.ydwy.org/

http://www.upsu.net/  (top purple bar is where TransMenu is used)

http://www.elitetrack.com/main/

[speleo]

Just as a matter of interest is this still being watched by Joomlart?

And does anyone know if there will be a maintentance release to address some of the issues?

[mohpa]

Safari Version 2.0.2 (416.12), OS X 10.4.3

http://www.gowanifamily.com/  - only shows the first sub, nothing under Private or Public Gallery, although I see the arrows
http://www.ydwy.org/ - looks fine, no third level here
http://www.upsu.net/  - first and second level fine, every other one with arrows does not show anything (does not expand)
http://www.elitetrack.com/main/ - same as above

Works fine when using FF1.0.7

This is consistent with what I thought the situation was with TransMenu and Safari, namely that it works fine except that grandchild menus don't display.  Which I can live with.  I just wanted to check since arniej is making it sound as if TransMenu does not work in Safari 2.02 (that is, that it has more problems than just the grandchild menus).  Thanks for testing those sites out.

The transmenu V2.0 is updated!
I have updated some of small changes which provide more accessibility and cross-browsers for transmenu. Because this update is quite small and making new version is not necessary.
Please download and upgrade your transmenu at http://www.joomlart.com

[speleo]

Just downloaded ja_transmenu_v20.zip from joomlart and it is exactly the same as the last version (with the same version number) from way back. Even if the changes are minor you should still have a .01 release! Better still issue both the new version and a patch.

If these small changes have anything to do with Safari or XHTML then they definately require a new version number.

Been waiting for this one! Thanks!

[scream]

Hi There
Where abouts is that update? Could you post a url? I looked round the JoomlaArt but could only find one posted end of October.
Transmenu installed sweet as first pop. Only trouble I have is that the rollovers seem to take a while to catch up on the menu. I've noticed it doesn't do it with other sites with Transmenu, but it does do it with all the templates on my test site http://www.scream.co.nz/index.php Any ideas why? I've stuck the template chooser on there.
Thanks for a great contrib.

[speleo]

just had this info via email -

Hi,
We are sorry for the delay but we have not finished the update.
Thanks,
Joomlart.com Admin

sounds like they found a last minute issue which held them back. Nice com, poor comms.

[scream]

Thanks speleo. I wait with baited breath.

Hi i am having problems with Transmenu displaying properly in IE.

It is fine in Opera and Firefox, but for some quirky reason nothing is showing up in IE.

I like the menu structure and all, took abit to work out some details but not showing properly in IE is abit of a pain.

I am designing this site for a friend, and they wanted flash menu's and found this Trans Menu, seemed promising at the start but i hardly use IE and that was until someone told me it wasn't showing up.

Here is the URL: demo.ozflatmates.com

If someone can point me in the right direction much appreciated.

Also how does one change over the colour scheme of the nav.? Orange is abit bright...

Thanks in advance.
Geoff

I'm curious if this component has any relation to or difference from the TransMenu that was announced last week by DesignForMambo.com (look under "News" on joomla.org, it was on Tuesday, 03 January 2006).

[speleo]

It would also be useful to know if D4M have plans to develop Trans Menu. It would now appear that the good work that JoomlArt have done has ceased. The teaser of a bug fix release before Christmas never happened.

If anyone has any experience with the D4M solution please could you give us the low down. Will it be a seamless migration or is there loads of code / css to work on? Any gotchas or general observations. Thanks!

[nielsg]

hi there all

The singel submenu drop down works fine in Safari (ydwy.org), but the first site, gowanifamily doesn't work as it should. The second submenu that should pop up doesn't show, the fist one does...

Anywayzz, i have some problems getting the dropdown menu to work myself.
if i look in my source code i get this result...


           
             
               
                 
             
           
         

the submenu's are made and are in the code, but why don't they show up?
the test url is http://www.primordial.nl/shop

The module is placed in user3, which is placed in a div layer in my template.
i have unpublished the module_topmenu and made a link to the module_topmenu via the transmenu module...

i also get an error in my browser on this part of the code: TransMenu.subpad_y = ;

maybe it goes wrong around here?

any ideas people?
thanks
niels

[sunsetonline]

Niels,
This has been discussed previously about Transmenu's "grandchild" menus (i.e. sub-sub-menus) not appearing in Safari.  As far as I know, nobody has gotten this part of Transmenu to work in Safari, so I doubt that it has anything to do with your particular installation.  It's a problem with either Transmenu or Safari or the combination of those two. 

[Ozflatmates]

Seems i ask this question but no one has answers so here goes again.

I am having problems with the sub menu's showing up in IE 6, in Opera / Firefox it is all sweet, the problem exists with IE.

Anyone else has these problems.?

I really need some help or directions on this.

I am on Joomla 1.0.5

Here is the Transmenuv.css

.transMenu .content {

I just wanted to apprise you of an issue with PDF's and form field drop-downs in the content area - for some reason, transmenu hides behind these 2 objects.  Unfortunately, my site with the examples is still in development.  But it's very easy to test, just create a menu item that is a wrapper and links to a pdf on your site.  With the drop down , this may be a little more difficult, but you could just create a content item with a form drop-down at the top.  If necessary, I can post screen shots.  Everything else works quite well with the latest Joomla.

Hi,
First I'd like to thanks this module, I'm very pleased...
but I have some issues:

• I have a site in Hebrew (which is RTL), which has the JA Trans Menu V2.0 module as to the Top Menu.
  On of the items in the menu is bi-lingual, meaning has 1 word in Hebrew & 1 word in English. This item is shown in the menu as two items instead of 1 having a separator bullet in between them...
• I have an horizontal scroll-bar on the page, until I open one of the drop-downs (of the menu)...
• How do I align the sub menus to start from the same line?
