Plugin: bbMenu 0.1 beta
-
Okay here it is, bbMenu 0.1 beta
What does it do?
It adds a menu to you bbPress site, which you can re-order yourself using drag and drop at the adminpage.
I am releasing this beta in hope to get some help concerning these issues:
1) I need some “better” way to store/ get the page-id comparison from the database. Currently, the script compares the page-id with ‘location’ from the database table. It’s only possible to add just 1 value to this, so if the page id = front-page it will return true and give the
<a>an id= current and the link will be underlined.The thing is, I need to add more stuff cause now only the front page is id-ed as current as the forum link is active, while topic-page should return as current aswell, cause I want this page to be “under” the forum link as well.
I’ve tried filling the location in the table like this: front-page || topic-page, but this will not work, cause the script will check front-page || topic-page = page-id instead of picking just one to see if it is the same as page-id.
Hope I do make any sense, just check the script.
2) In IE the underline doesn’t show. It works in all other browsers, don’t know why.
To do:
1) Use some hooks for the admin pages (need bbPress 0.80 to do this right)
2) Be able to click the menu title in the menu (in the admin) to change it into what ever you like
3) Some documentation so people (plugin builders) can add their own pages
4) Use scriptaculous instead of the scripts I use now (more options)

Nice
Btw stubled on the BLIX theme from bbPress. It uses for each (I asked about this in some other posts) in it’s menu and could be the answer of my nr 1 problem.
Some peace of code:
foreach ($pages as $page) {$page_id = $page->ID;
$page_title = $page->post_title;
$page_name = $page->post_name;
if ($page_name == "archives") {
(is_page($page_id) || is_archive() || is_search() || is_single())?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected."><a href="".get_page_link($page_id)."">Archives</a></li>n";
}
Now to confert it to this plugin, have to change ‘location’ input to: is_archive() || is_search() etc. Going to play with this
Yeah I know about the id/class thingy, but even WP uses id instead of class. So why do they do that?. Are they wrong too? Perhaps I will change it in the official release, I just want to have it working first
Even without the cleaner div it’s still not working in IE
So it’s not the div…
The first google result for “IE7 border-bottom” gives the answer to this.
I got it to work in IE7 by…
- changing all references from
id="current"toclass="current"(because I refuse to write semantically wrong css ) - replacing
#currentwith.current { display: block; BORDER-BOTTOM: #2e6e15 3px solid; }
…… i have to work on my google search words
That comes with bitter experience
Once it’s working, it’s then a good time start thinking about integration. Since this is a plugin it will have to work with many themes, so for maximum flexibility you might want to switch from pixel based sizing to either percentages or ems so that everything is sized relative to the default font.
