How to Customize Menus

Hi,

dolphin does not have a good customization for menu bar, this may help you.

If you want to remove all the "submenu" items from top menu, but that they still show in the submenu pages, edit BxBaseMenu.php around line 327, and comment it.

$sSubMenu = $this->getAllSubMenus($iItemID);

that will show only navigation top menu.

Also, if you want to remove certain Item from the top menu, but still show in the "quick links" and other pages.

edit BxBaseMenu.php around line 158 and look for:

foreach( $this->aTopMenu as $iItemID => $aItem ) {
         if( $aItem['Type'] != 'top' )
              continue;

if you want to remove the polls item from menu, you should post after it:

            if( $aItem['Caption'] == '_bx_polls' )
                continue;

if you want to remove other item, just look for the name of the item and replace, you can post the code for each items you need to remove.

hope it helps you.

 RE:

 Not a good idea to modify /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseMenu.php

Instead, you should override the function by modifying /templates/tmpl_someTemplate/scripts/BxTemplMenu.php

Example:

<?php

/**

 * CC-BY License - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
 */

bx_import('BxBaseMenu');

/**
* @see BxBaseMenu;
*/
class BxTemplMenu extends BxBaseMenu
{
    /**
    * Class constructor;
    */
    function BxTemplMenu()
    {
        parent::BxBaseMenu();
    }
   
   
        /*
    * Generate top menu elements
    */
    function genTopItem($sText, $sLink, $sTarget, $sOnclick, $bActive, $iItemID, $isBold = false, $sPicture = '')
    {
        $sActiveStyle = ($bActive) ? ' id="tm_active"' : '';

        if (!$bActive) {
            $sOnclick = $sOnclick ? ( ' onclick="' . $sOnclick . '"' ) : '';
            $sTarget  = $sTarget  ? ( ' target="'  . $sTarget  . '"' ) : '';
        }

        $sLink = (strpos($sLink, 'http://') === false && strpos($sLink, 'https://') === false && !strlen($sOnclick)) ? $this->sSiteUrl . $sLink : $sLink;

        $sMoreIcon = getTemplateIcon('tm_sitem_down.gif');

//        $sSubMenu = $this->getAllSubMenus($iItemID);

        $sBoldStyle = ($isBold) ? 'style="font-weight:bold;"' : '';

        $sImgTabStyle = $sPictureRep = '';
        if($sText == '' && $isBold && $sPicture != '') {
            $sPicturePath = getTemplateIcon($sPicture);
            $sPictureRep = '<img src="' . $sPicturePath . '" />';
        }

        $sMainSubs = ($sSubMenu=='') ? '' : <<<EOF
    <!--[if lte IE 6]><table id="mmm"><tr><td><![endif]-->
    <ul class="sub main_elements">{$sSubMenu}</ul>
    <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->
EOF;

        $this->sCode .= <<<EOF
<td class="top" {$sActiveStyle} {$sImgTabStyle}>
    <a href="{$sLink}" {$sOnclick} {$sTarget} class="top_link"><span class="down bx-def-padding-sec-leftright" {$sBoldStyle}>{$sPictureRep}{$sText}</span>
    <!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
    <div class="sub">{$sMainSubs}</div>
</td>
EOF;
    }
}

// Creating template navigation menu class instance
$oTopMenu = new BxTemplMenu();

Or.... you could just do it in css

.sub.main_elements {
display:none !important;
}

 Thanks yaia for the tip it works for me but Hi Houston , where can i place that css code please ?

Thank you.
