Im wanting to add a dhtml nav bar, like the one found at http://www.mtm-guild.com, to the top of my roster page so that my users can access other pages on my website without having to go back to the main page. Ive tried editing out the header.html file to do the body onload="init()" command needed to display this menu. Nothing happens. Even typed in the full address for the .js files needs and still nothing. the way my body tag in header.html looks like is <body{ROSTER_BODY}<!-- IF ROSTER_ONLOAD --> onload="init(); {ROSTER_ONLOAD}"<!-- ENDIF -->>. Ive moded the init function to many different locations with no success. Anyone got any ideas? Am i editing the wrong page?

Please do not make 2 posts asking the same question

If I knew more about what you are trying to add, then I can help.
Where is this nav bar from, where can it be downloaded? What page shows the instructions?

its from dynamicdrive.com. and the instructions are listed in the readme file.

this is based on Top Navigational Bar III v3.5..

index.php line 169 add

Code: Select all

$roster->output['html_head'] = '<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="js/sniffer.js">

edit ccustom.js set "var baseHREF = "";" to "var baseHREF = "js/";" your done

There is no need to edit any php files
I would add this to the template files header.html and footer.html

First, extract all the files from the zip to roster/js/menu/

header.html - Find

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{ROSTER_PATH}js/overlib_hideform.js"></script>

Add After

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{ROSTER_PATH}js/menu/sniffer.js">

footer.html - Find

Code: Select all

</body>

Add Before

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{ROSTER_PATH}js/menu/menu.js"></script>

Then edit custom.js

Code: Select all

var baseHREF = "";   // base path to .js files for the script (ie: resources/)

Change to

Code: Select all

var baseHREF = "js/menu/";   // base path to .js files for the script (ie: resources/)

yea that would work better lol

k, im not using that navbar, the one i am using is http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicinde ... /index.htm. its requires the body onload fucntion. where do i put that at?

$roster->output['body_onload'] = 'INIT()'; ?? in index or header some where

Probably in header.php, before $roster->output['body_onload'] is assigned to the $tpl array
And I would use .=

Code: Select all

$roster->output['body_onload'] .= 'init()'; 

here is the code from my header.html file under /templates/default/

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{ROSTER_PATH}/includes/browser.js">

</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{ROSTER_PATH}/config.js"></script>
<body{ROSTER_BODY}<!-- IF ROSTER_ONLOAD -->{ROSTER_ONLOAD}<!-- ENDIF -->>

Here is the code from header.php

Code: Select all

$roster->output['body_onload'] .= 'init()';

/**

$roster->tpl->assign_vars(array(

   'XML_LANG'        => substr($roster->config['locale'],0,2),
   'ROSTER_URL'      => ROSTER_URL,
   'ROSTER_PATH'     => ROSTER_PATH,
   'S_HEADER_LOGO'   => ( !empty($roster->config['logo']) ? true : false ),
   'WEBSITE_ADDRESS' => $roster->config['website_address'],
   'U_MAKELINK'      => makelink(),
   'HEADER_LOGO'     => $roster->config['logo'],
   'IMG_URL'         => $roster->config['img_url'],
   // End duplication

   'PAGE_TITLE'      => $roster_title,
   'ROSTER_HEAD'     => $roster->output['html_head'],
   'ROSTER_BODY'     => (!empty($roster->config['roster_bg']) ? ' style="background-image:url(' . $roster->config['roster_bg'] . ');"' : '')
                  . (!empty($roster->output['body_attr']) ? ' ' . $roster->output['body_attr'] : ''),
   'ROSTER_ONLOAD'   => (!empty($roster->output['body_onload']) ? $roster->output['body_onload'] : ''),
   'ROSTER_MENU_BEFORE' => $roster->output['before_menu'],
   )

ive tried everything listed so far, and even modded it a little but still nothing. Am i missing something?

Heres a copy of the source code when displayed in firefox

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="/roster/js/overlib.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/roster/js/overlib_hideform.js"></script>

</head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/roster//includes/browser.js">

<div class="roster-wrap" align="center">


ive also changed the $roster->output['body_onload'] .= 'init()'; to $roster->output['body_onload'] .= 'onLoad = init()'; and to $roster->output['body_onload'] .= 'onLoad = \'init()\''; and still nothing.

Edit: changed the code so it wasnt // anymore, but that didnt fix it either.

Looks like you didn't revert your changes to header.html correctly. The correct <body> tag is:

Code: Select all

<body{ROSTER_BODY}<!-- IF ROSTER_ONLOAD --> onload="{ROSTER_ONLOAD}"<!-- ENDIF -->>

Also, it might be worth trying this on a plain HTML file first.

still nothing. and im guess that by plain html file you mean something other then the roster? cause it works on the rest of my site. same files and everything.

ok i got this worken on my website......

header.php befor

Code: Select all

$roster->tpl->assign_vars(array(
   // These are duplicated since there might be an error before settings.php finishes and sets these

add this..

Code: Select all

$roster->output['html_head'] .= '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.ROSTER_PATH.'/js/includes/browser.js">

</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="'.ROSTER_PATH.'/js/config.js"></script>';
$roster->output['body_onload'] .= 'init()';

ok now .. read readme's this package says you have to edit the browser.js .. fisrt line ...

Code: Select all

//---- Set this variable only! ----
var buildDir = "/roster_dir/js/includes/";
//---------------------------------

change roster_dir to what ever path your roster is ... or to where ever you have the js files sored and this should work .... alsop if you are not storing the js files in the roster js folder change '.ROSTER_PATH.' to where ever you are storing them ....remember ../ will drop back a directory in html too...

thanks for all the help, i finally got it work work. had to remove the / after roster path variable and had to edit the browser.js file to say /roster/js/includes instead of /home/uname/roster/js/includes
