Dynamic menu question

HI,
I am dynamically updating the run-time menu, such that the choices constantly keep changing. So how do I account for the handling of them considering I do not know what they will be ahead of time (I know they will be numeric)? Do I need to use Get Menu Info? Mainly what do I label the case statement since I will not know that submenu item will be selected?

If I understand correctly, you have menus that are being
built dynamically. The tags for the menu will be numeric
strings. That means that one thing you can switch on is
the string itself. You will have a case statement with
the possible strings already programmed into it.
Another option is to convert the selected menu string
into a number and use a case with ranges or comma lists
to divi
de up the items however you like.

Dynamic Side menu question!

Hi All
Can someone help me with a menu issue I have, basically the problem seems very simple. All I want to do is specify that when a specific 'Entry Point' item is selected the dynamic menu is closed when the page is viewed.
The reason for this is that on one of my linkes to a page I have a 'dashboard' set up which I want showing on its own without any detailed navagation!
Any help would be great
Thanks
Phil

Hello Phil,
Open the page for which u want to hide the dynamic navigation bar, there is a property named <b>Initial State of Navigation Panel</b>.
Just set it to <b>close</b>.
This will solve the problem.

Dynamic List/Menu question

Is it possible to add a default item at the top of static options area of a dynamic menu which does not perform any function when activated?
I have a "Please choose an option" as my static option at the top of the menu. When the "Go" button is clicked when the "Please choose" is visible I would like this to do nothing and only show a results page when any of the active menu options are selected and "Go" clicked.

New page not being opened in new window when using a dynamic menu

I have read an earlier post about this but I didn't really see a solution I could implement there. I have a dynamic menu, and I want one item on it to open a new frame. Here is the module code from the template.
{module_menu, version="2", menuId="901683", moduleTemplateGroup="Default"}
It is the main template menu from the Tribeca site template.
I have tried inserting (_blank) into the appropriate target frame, and still it opens in the same window. I gathered from the previous post that it was a version issue, but as you can see, the code says "version 2"... or am I mis-reading that?
I couldn't find where to make changes. The previous post suggested I look for the CSS on the home template, but I am not using a home template.
Any thoughts?
Chuck

Thanks Liam, it worked. I need a clarification if you can... I don't need all the items in the menu to open in a new window, so under the menu itself, under the individual items, I would set the target frame to "_self" for the items I need to remain in the same window? Or is it an all or none thing?
I really have appreciated the help you've given me.

Dynamic menu in tree structure in JSP

Hi,
1) I need to display a dynamic menu in JSP. The menu depends on the values received from database. I need to show the items in the structure of tree (like parents, child relation). The tree can have multiple levels (the parent can have children & these children too can have children). This tree structure would be on left side of the screen.
I would like to use some custom tags rather than javascript. Can somebody post the custom tags or some samples?
2) Also, once the user selects different items from menu, different action classes should be called. And accordingly, the right side of the screen will show different data.
So, there should be any way to set different action classes for the menu items. Please post any samples or helpful links.

Can you create a javascript dynamic menu based on security data in oracleDB

I am looking for a dynamic javascript menu that is generated based on the user role... basically i get the user role from ldap and then I have a Security table in oracle data base that has the permission info and i want to generate my dynamic menu based on the data in the database table.... the table has the following columns
private String userId;
private String security_level; // page level , field level
private String permission; //CRUD
private String permissionType; //ALLOW, DENY

Hello Suzie,
It is possible but you have "many" ways to do it, since what will happen is the javascript will be generated by an application.
Are you developing a J2EE application? with or without JSF?
The best way will be to Google to find a good Javascript menu library, and adapt the generation of it based on the content of your database.

How to create a table less structure with dynamic menu module

Hi guys,
I am using dynamic menu module for creating a main menu for http://firstsite08.businesscatalyst.com/
but it is generating table structure. What changes to do i had to make to generate a table less structure from dynamic menu module.

Hi Andy,
When you create a Menu, the option dropdown for the menu has Default, but under that you will see HTML CSS Only option which creates a ul li structure.
For the Menu Module options you can find more information from the knowledgebase: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1345.html?bc-partner#main_Menu_Modules
If you would like to use the version 2 menu module you can find a bit of a guide I wrote here: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1903

Adding a dynamic menu to a template

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong please?
I have created a menu, I want to add it to a template (this template already has a dynamic menu which I added to it by the way, in case it's important to the answer).
I have selected the Template and have it ready to edit or do whatever next to it.
I thought the next step was to select "add modules to Template" and then I would get a panel appear on th right hand side with further options to select the menu I want and then go through the insert proceedure.
But nothing happens when I click on "add modules to Template".
I already have one menu on the page, I've done it once already, but for some reason it's not working any more. Or have I just completely forgotten what the correct steps are.
Yes I have researched and googled but I keep getting answers that just tell me how to create a menu or modify a template, or something other than what I need to know.
Cheers for any help.
Grant

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. So now it's working.
So if you experience the same problem, here's what happened and how I resolved the problem.
I closed the browser, started up again and tried adding a menu to a page using "Add modules to a web page" - it worked, but then BC still wouldn't let me have access to the "Add modules to Templates" button a second time when I tried it with the template - just wouldn't work. So, I shut the browser again but this time loaded the template and tried adding the the module to the template using the button, and it worked.
So I'm guessing that this is a bug that needs to be sorted Adobe?

Styling a dynamic menu using CSS

Hi everyone, hope someone can help.
I have spent a few hours starting to style a new site and i am struggling with the dynamic menu
http://www.innovas.co.uk/ourclients.htm
what i would like it to do is have a gap in between each of the main menu items so that its not one consistent block of grey background colour. I have tried isolating the style for tr. and adding a border-padding of 1px with a color white, but this adds the border to all table rows. i just need a way of styling a 1px white border into the menu item layout.
some help would be hugely appreciated
thanks in advance

Hello!
The best way to approach this would be to use Dynamic Menu v2. It will save you a lot of hassle.
There's a thorough explanation covered in this post: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1903.
Let me know how it goes.

Need to find a work around for this Dynamic menu issue.

Hi all, i've search everywhere for an answer to this, i'll try again here.
So, If i make a site with Muse, and use the menu widget,
It generates the cool menu automatically everything is fine.
BUT, what happens if my client creates a new page from his BC backend using a template i made for that purpose while making the site in Muse (a page with the "{tag_pagecontent}" Tag)
can it show in the menu?.
i desperatly need help with this one.
i.

Unless i insert at the right place in muse (like in a master page) the menu module tag generated by BC right?
and for some obscure reason, i'm having a F*$*ing hard time to style
this will need to be possible in Muse future, i know muse grid came with a BC blog Module, hopefully they will come up with a BC dynamic menu module.
(sigh) ... i'm so discouraged
