Drew,

Is this a better deal for you??

Some really ^%&^% up CSS in Template 19.... Wow no wonder you all are having issues..

Now your talking my language. The template is actually one of GWT's, which makes it quite hard to navigate and figure out, as you have just found out.

If you want icons to suit, you will need to create them

The CSS is *&^(+ up for sure, but one can resolve it.. Will have to have a chat with Marsha

Creating the icons is the easy bit.

Great Project.. I might look at it, in the future.. I have a couple of other little projects I'm hooked into.

You shouldn't give up, you do have the talent, maybe not the perseverance!!! 😃

Hi Guys,

I've successfully added a new dropdown menu that can be easily edited and new links can easily be created in code view. The problem comes with the mobile version. It automatically overwrites all of my "hamburger" settings and goes to the default settings, which do NOT include the new menu items. Darrin and I spoke about this over a year ago, but it requires changing the core (not just one or two changes, quite a few changes) and those changes would be overwritten on the next update.

I would be happy to work with anyone that wants to play with this. I'll upload my template to my sandbox and show you what I've done so far. I have to dig through my old files to find it. I'll let you know when it's up. You can preview what it looks like in my html templates: https://genealogywebtemplates.com/webs/gwt264/

Cheers Rob, have already sent two msgs on the subject, with no reply. I wont be sending a third.

Hi,

Sorry, I don't usually monitor the forum, so unless you sent me one at marsha@templatesintime.com or marshabryant100@gmail.com, I didn't get it. I just happened to jump on today and see this thread. I'll be happy to help out in any way that I can.

Hi All,

I uploaded my template206 to my sandbox. It has my dropdown menu that I use on my html templates. If you "pull in" the sides of your browser, you can see what the dropdown would look like in the mobile version, but if you use a mobile device to look at it, it reverts to the standard menu.

Hi Marsha,

Not sure what happened with my messages etc, but anyway. All good..

To view my sandbox, please go here. Drew's Sandbox

This is what I am seeking or similar. Colours, Tabs, DDM's etc, are representative only and have no bearing on final Menu Bar. There are 4 user defined areas, that could be managed from within a / any Template. TNG Templates 22 and on for eg. In terms of GWT Templates, that would be your call if implemented.

The user defined areas in the examples are purely that, "examples". I would not recommend anymore than 4 user defined tabs, as it gets messy.

The layout of the Menu Bar is also easier to use, in terms of a Home Button, with areas of user interest in a DDM. Thereby eliminating clutter on the Menu Bar.

In the sandbox, I have altered user defined areas 1 and 4. UD1 is Genealogy Websites and UD4 is Family Sites. The options for each are infinite and only limited by the Site Owners imagination. The level in each DDM is also user determined. Either 1 link or a 100. If you are a Public Site, then UD1 - UD4 are Site Owner determined. If you are a Private Site, with Family Members and limited Guest Access, then UD1 - UD4 are Site and Family determined.

Hope this makes sense.

 

Drew..

Hi Drew,

I really like the look of the menu. The colors are nice and it definitely doesn't look cluttered. The dropdown that I use (Slimmenu) can easily be styled to look like what you have in your sandbox. I like your ideas on how letting different people see the public & private areas. My problem is, since I'm not a php coder nor a programming coder, is to have an easy way for the end user to add links without writing php and, in TNG, for the mobile menu to show my menu, not the default. I don't have a clue how to do the last two things!

Hey Marsha. This was the Template that made me enquire about could the tabs be changed to suit the user. See pic.

I believe this is a HTML Template..?? Can it be used with TNG as it is.??

There are the chosen ones here, that can do just that. They just walk silently among us. 😉

No, that menu can't be used because TNG's default mobile coding overwrites all of my coding. I used my coding in my sandbox: https://huntingwithtom.com/tng/index.php  and added all the menu items one at a time. I'm trying a few things to see if I can get my menu to show up, but so far, no good.

Marsha

No problems.

Silly question. So how is this Template used.??

I wish I could crack this "nut" but right now, not working for me!

Marsha, I think I have a workaround, that may work. Would be on an individual case by case though, not as a full scale Template.

Let me try something, I will get back to you shortly, via pm on here, or via your GWT Site.

It's not usable for TNG until I can figure out how to have my mobile navigation showing. Template 206 that I have up right now is not the template 206 that I sell. This one is a trial for the menu. I just wanted to see if it could be done.
