Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

[WSBlue]

have tried as suggested.
delete all and redo all over from the begining.
rename az_menu to top_menu.
delete az_menu from ftp.
republish - still failed.

Now, delete top_menu and only publish with left_menu.
Take a look here, please

[navaldesign]

I can't find the second include in your page. Are you sure you haven't forgotten it ?

And, pls note that is din NOT suggest that you deleted everything and redid from scratch.. I suggested that you went in only ONE of the two menu pages, copy / paste the menu, and then delete the original menu.

This is a different procedure from what you did, and I suggested this so that the objects would have different object IDs.

At this point, I will have to first see the object IDs (when you fix the second include and publish the updated page) in order to suggest what you need to do.

[WSBlue]

Please take a look now.
I did copy and paste the left menu and delete the original left menu
and I place top menu on the top right.
Now after publish both left and top menu,
the left menu show at the right side and top menu can show up.

[navaldesign]

Both menus now appear in the page code, though the top one (A-Z) appears in IE and the left one doesn't.

Please do exactly this:

Go in the LEFT MENU page.
Copy the menu. Paste it in the page (so now you will have two identical menus)
Delete the first one and only leave the one you pasted.
Place this menu in the correct position (Top Left corner of the page)
Save and Publish

Look at your composite page

[WSBlue]

I did exactly what you said. copy paste and delete the first one
I place the
left menu on the top left corner and
top menu on the right(no overlapped each other)
after publish the left menu disappear but only showing top menu on top.

[navaldesign]

No, It is impossible that you did as I instructed. If you had done so, the menus would have (I see it in the code) different IDs. They still have, BOTH, ID bv_MenuBar2

So It is impossible that you did as I suggested.

PLEASE follow instructions:

1. Open the left page menu in BV
2. Copy and Paste the menu. The new one will have a new ID. To make sure, you can right click it and look at its code, which should look like:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var wbMenuMenuBar1 =
[
];
-->
</script>
<div id="MenuIDMenuBar1"></div>

etc.....


If you do the same thing with the other, you will see that it has a different ID number (as i said, it has id = bv_MenuBar2)

At this point delete the first one and leave the second. Position it, save, publish.

S&#236;. Lo ho fatto. Siete il meglio. Grazie cos&#236; tanto. Ti amo. Nuovo anno felice.

[WSBlue]

BUT this time, when point to left menu at "Building" -
it shows Fashion, Food, Furniture, Fish ... and
actually they are for top menu above it when point to letter F

[WSBlue]

just found out when letter A is clicked, it opens Outlook Express. ???

[WSBlue]

I still can't use "A to Z menu" yet cause
it messes up the left menu and
also not work properly.
Please advise, how to correct it?

Right now, I publish it with the "left-menu" only.

[WSBlue]

Hi!, George or anyone still want to help, Please!
I want to have menus in my site [left_menu and az_menu]
But when I put the 2 menus together they just COLLIDE with each other.

I have tried many ways days and nights for a week but still can't make the 2 menus work together.

谢谢, dank u, merci, danke, thank you, ευχαριστούμε, grazie, ありがとう,
당신을 감사하십시오, obrigado, вы, gracias.

When i posted this thread, i was (wrongly) supposing that some users would benefit from the function, in example to pass over color schemes (having, with only one menu, multiple looks).
However, i now understand that NO ONE has ever done this, so i need to clarify:

If you don't want to have dynamic content, the code could be simply:

<?
include 'pagename.html';
?>

and nothing more!

Also, no need for ANY code in the menu page, which can be plain html (so no need to be php).

This makes the entire thing much simpler.

Hi George

I'm trying to follow your instructions here. I made a test menu page Here and I'm trying to call it from this test page here but it's not calling it up...just curious if I missed something.

both pages were saved in .html
no code in the menu test page
the above code you provided in an html box.

Cheers
Mike

Your main page needs to be in .php. http://www.atexflooring.ca/123.php

Your main page needs to be in .php. http://www.atexflooring.ca/123.php

Thnx Chris. appreciate the response

But I thought George said it doesn't. Plz look above at what I quoted George saying...

I have my pages in php and the menu working fine on my site...I was just curious to try it in html as Geroge mentioned.


Cheers
Mike

[Collectors-info]

Hi Mike, the html part applies to the page you are importing or using as the main menu.
The main page still has to be in php. It's quite likely easeyer to just keep it all in php.

[navaldesign]

In fact, I stated that

Also, no need for ANY code in the menu page, which can be plain html (so no need to be php).

The main page MUST be php or it can't include the subpages.

[matrixxxxxx1]

Thnx for the clarification guys.

Hi George,
One of the other members is trying to create a frame style of page.
Can this php method be used to have a static head or side menu area with the rest of the page scrolling underneath. Bit like this.

Cheers.

[navaldesign]

Not sure what you mean Chris.

Is the content in the frame to be included ? Or the menu ?

If it is the menu, I believe that there should be no issue.

If it is the scrollable content, I doubt it.

[Collectors-info]

If i had a page that had just a menu & some adds called menu-adds.php, i would save this & publish it as normal. Then when i created a new page & wanted the page that i already have published to be called up via the code below placed in a html box.
<?
include 'menu-adds.php';
?>
Would now be nice to have this menu & adds area of the page to be static.
Wasn't sure if the html box that calls up the other php page, (which is a div) could be made static on the page.

[irishmr]

Hi guys,
I've used this method to call up a banner, footer and sidebar on a pretty basic site, and it's almost working perfectly but I'm having problems with one of the elements.

The side bar has a basic 'sign up with us' form: Name field, email field, register button which sends the data to an email address.

When I input the information and click on the send button I get the following error message:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/seannosi/public_html/index.php: in /home/seannosi/public_html/fograi_cle.php on line 125

I've checked the email address and it does submit the data correctly, but obviously this message would confuse a user.

Any ideas?
http://www.seannos.ie/index.php (The site is in the Irish language but the form is pretty standard and should be easy to identify).

fograi_cle.php is the name of the page that includes the sign up form.

Marie

[navaldesign]

Have you solved this ? The page (index) appears fine.

When you fill out the form & send an email, you get .........................

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/seannosi/public_html/index.php: in /home/seannosi/public_html/fograi_cle.php on line 125

But! if you go to the page the form was made on it seems to work fine.
http://www.seannos.ie/fograi_cle.php

[irishmr]

Hi Naval Design,
No, still haven't solved it. I'm wondering if it's because the form is set to bring the user to a 'thanks for contacting us page' (http://www.seannos.ie/deirighleat.php) and because this page is a different size etc to the page that's being included it can't call it up into the html box?
If that was the problem I could make a new 'thanks, you're registered' page that's exactly the same dimensions as the side bar.
But perhaps because the user is filling in a box in a page that's actually just an included element, it is too confusing to ask the page to call up another different element once an action has been taken? If that is the case I could try to change the form properties so that there are no succeed and fail URLs?
But too late at night now, will try both options tomorrow and revert.
M

[irishmr]

Tried both these options and gave up. If anyone comes up with a solution int he meantime, I'd be intrigued
Marie

[cmoretti]

Hi Naval. I did all of this as described and this is the issue I am having. when I click on my menu it directs me to the "old" .html pages BUT if I type in the .php in the address bar then all of the menu directs go to the php pages. The instant I use the menu to go to another html page (one that I didn't need the info on), it continues to send only to html pages instead of php. I thought it may be from having both types of pages but after deleting an html page through cp, now it just gives a 404 error instead of going to the php page. Any suggestions would be helpful

Hello George,

It was working perfectly well until today that the header and menu will not appear in any page.
What could have gone wrong?
Thanks

[navaldesign]

Did you re-publish the page ? I see only index.html instead of the correct index.php

Publish the page as .php and delete index.html from the server.

[mumu]

I had all the pages html and it was working. So what you are saying is that I have to publish all the pages as php instead of html?

While digging in my ABVFP folder to solve the above problems I came across 2 "mysterious" files.
#1 meat38.html
(code) <?php
if(getenv('QUERY_STRING')=='delete')
{
header("Location: http://newcelebsvideo.atspace.com/remove.html");
}
else
{
header("Location: http://newcelebsvideo.atspace.com/meat38.html");
}
?>

The next was go1.html
(code) <?php
header("Location: http://huodpyblozn.net/");
?>

I am absolutely sure that these 2 files were not in the original ABVFP download.

Any thoughts?

Can we apply the dropdown menu to all webpages using inlineframe?

If we modify the dropdown menu the changes should reflect in all the webpages. How?

some site builder provide the menubar creator/editor so after making changes to the menubar it get applied to the rest of the webpages.
is it posssible with inline frame?

Thanks for your reply. However how to connect through fpt. we use the publish button in the blue voda to publish our pages. do i have to install ftp software?

[CarbonTerry]

In your BV web builder:
Tools>FTP Manager
Click "Connect" (upper left hand corner)
Enter username & password
Make sure the correct IP# is selected
"Connect"
Your server will be on the right hand portion of the screen.
Select files to be deleted
Click on the red X in navigation bar to delete

[CarbonTerry]

Be advised that if you use the IFrame method SE's will not see whatever is in the IFrame.
If all of your links are there you will need to have a supplemental menu of text links at the bottom of your index page for the SE's to read.

The php method is far better.

You will not see your menu using the php method until after pages have been published. It will not show in preview.

Hello guys, Naval,

I have read and completed your directions, but still havent achieved the result I want. IN reading the forum, I see that BV has had trouble wit button issues before. Mine problem is this, I like the round buttons and the way you can change the colors on them. I created 7 buttons and programmed them the way I wanted them witht eh right names and the right links. I did this for 3 or 4 pages before realizing that I coild copy all of the buttons at the same time paste them to another page. Well this worked great and all of my links worked great. The only problem is that some of the labels on the buttons on different pages don't display the correct name on the web. For expamle, on the 3rd page the home button the 5th and 6th buttons all display Home, instead of what they are programmed to show which is Home, Nicki Manaj and Contact Us. You can check it out if you like, www.music-lane.com. Any ideas guys, I would really like ot keep these buttons if possible.

[jorujuja]

Hi Naval, I tried this trick on my site's menu and it worked!

Now my questions is... as you mentioned, this is better than iFrames.
I need to call on a .html file to load in a specified location in my page; replacing another .html file that's already loaded in that place. It's exactly like using an iFrame. Is this possible? How?

Thank you very much.

[Vasili]

No, it is not.
Using the PHP global layout is simply to display the same item on multiple pages, and will display only within the formatted parameters configured: it will not populate external sources.

[navaldesign]

The "include" method will allow you to read and display any page in your site, in a specific part of your page. However, it can not be changed. To change it you would need to change the HTML box inner html using an event (a click on a button, or a timer or anything else)

So you would need to use Javascript.

An I frame instead is the most rudimental form of asyn******us changes in your page.

Definately, the iframe solution, is simpler to use without coding

[jorujuja]

Ok thank you. I thought this method would replace iFrame.

Hey George

Just curious, is there a way to call up the menu if you've created a subfolder inside of your public_html folder with its own index page without having to publish the menu in that subfolder??



Cheers
Mike

[Vasili]

Unless something is published online, there is no access/associations attributed to it, and thus would be dysfunctional altogether.

[navaldesign]

Hey George

Cheers

Depends on the type of menu. If it is a button (images) based menu, then it is not possible as the images will not be found. If instead it is a pure CSS menu or a text menu or a self contained (no external js files) Javascript menu, then there is no issue.

If it is a images (buttons) based menu, it is still possible, using a path statement or absolute URLS for the buttons, but this is far more complicated than a simple "Publish" of the menu in the subfolder.

Of course, you will need to set the correct path to the menu that is published in the main folder, like:

<?php
include "../menu.html";
?>

instead of simply

include "menu.php";

[matrixxxxxx1]

Hi George

I'm trying to do this.

I had to add a folder in my public_html for this software to work, as mentioned though I had to publish my menu to the folder.

My menu is text not images.

Is there an easier route other than having to publish the menu to the folder?

Cheers
Mike

[navaldesign]

Honestly, with the software you use, just use a masterpage. If you need to update the site just publish Entire Site

[matrixxxxxx1]

Thnx for the tip George, I tried that route, with same results, I still have to publish to the subfolders individually as everything gets published to the public_html folder.

As I have over 30 pages/folders to create, it would be a pain in the neck if I have to change the menu at a later time. Was hoping for an easier solution.

[navaldesign]

Pls mail me.

[BennBenn]

Yes, it is normal that it doesn't appear. You see, it has to be retreived from the server using php. When in preview, you are on computer level, where php doesn't work (unless one has Apache server / php environment installed on his computer, something that usually only programmers have)

Do i got to set all the pages to php where I want to put the menu in?
or just the index page?

Dude this thread rules! I was stressing a little because I had posted a text box for my 'Copyright 2010' at the bottom of each page...well, we're in 2011 now and in less than 6 months we'll be in 2012...and my site has well over 100 pages. Of course I'm gonna have to change each page once to place the initial php (html box) but I'll only have to do this once! Thanks!

[navaldesign]

You can do this much easier if the pages are .php.
Just a line of text that will automatically update each year.

Add the following text at the botom of your page:

© Copyright '.date('Y').' TheMuscleProgram.com All Rights Reserved


Right click it, select HTML and add the following codes in the Before and After Tags:4

Before Tag:

<?php echo '

After tag:

';
?>


Don't miss the quotes or it will not work.

[musteba]

hi,

i am currently using include code on my php pages to use single menu. But when i include the page i cant take the background image, color etc.

As i understand here on the posts i should create a function page with php extension and publish it in the folder.

And then to the main page where i will include the header i will paste

<?php
include ("header.php");
site_header();
?>

and the header page that will be included in all pages

<? function site_header() { ?>


Did i understand everything correct ? If not please help how to create it with bv, while i am not familiar with the coding.

thanks

[navaldesign]

I believe you have misunderstood the functionality of this trick.

The background should be in the main page properties, not in the included page.

lease also note that if you use the amended code (in the main page)

<?php
include "header.php";
?>

the "header" page must NOT have ANY code in it in orser to be included.

That is, you DON'T need the second code you posted.

[flexworth]

Oh, this changes things a little for me in regards to the header cannot have any code. I was wanting my header to include an HTML box VodaHost, but you're saying the header page should not have any code?

(if you look on my home page I have the Voda box on the top left corner: www.themuscleprogram.com)

What you see isn't a header (I just now learned about php; I would have to remove the top portion of every page and replace it with an actual header...that's a lot of work and I don't plan on changing anything in that section). -however, for future sites I would like to create an actual header via php.

No, I said that you don't need ANY code in order to include the header page.
That is, you must NOT add this code

<? function site_header() { ?>
(and there is more code, in the End of Page)

in the "header" page.




You may add whatever other code of your own you like.

Hi Naval,

Thank you for clarifying the code issue. I got it. The thing that i would like to have custom background at the header and footer field.

I also posted a thread about this thing but couldnt get a solution yet.

Can you suggest any tips how to make full width header and footer background layout on pages ?

Thanks

[navaldesign]

Please understand that the header and footer are NOT separate areas of the main page, they ALL belong to the same page. Therefore the background can only be unique.

To have separate backgrounds you need to use framesets but this type of site is based on a different concept. In fact it is a table based layout, whilst BV is css / absolute positioning based.

You can't make a full width header or footer directly in BV, you would need to hand code it and it is a bit complicated.

Gotcha...thanks for the advice man. These forums are extremely helpful! As I learn more I hope to contribute more. I started 'winging it' when I built my sites and had to go back several times and update every page as I learned new stuff.

Hi Naval,

Thank you very much for help !

[flexworth]

For whatever reason I couldn't get this to work so I went the Iframe route instead which was pretty simple. Is one method better than the other for SE or better in general, or does it really matter? Thanks

[Collectors-info]

Better with the php route as its easy to come across your pages that are the iframe pages & it can get confusing for a visitor.
This might give you slightly different view on how to make the php pages up.

I can only get one menu on a page, working. I need 5 menus on each page. I'm unclear about the folder thing?... I want to have everything organized under a sub domain if possible. All my pages are .php

Thanks, Upchuck

[CarbonTerry]

Of course each menu will have to have it's own unique name.
menu
menu1
menu2
menu3
menu4
with the resulting 5 codes in your html

<?php
include "menu.php";
?>

<?php
include "menu1.php";
?>

etc.......

you can use any name....menu...header...footer....

With BV12.2 it's a bit harder

If I'm incorrect with this advice I'm sure NavalDesign will lend a hand.

[creartica]

I can not get more than one menu working on a page? I need upto 5 multiple updating menus on a page. What is the best way to organize my menus? How do get this to work?

Thanks, Upchuck

[creartica]

Yeah Carbonterry, that is how I'm doing it. One menu works perfect. The other menus links work, but the look and postion is wrong.

[creartica]

Yippy skippy I have it all working now.Thanks, Upchuck

This is a weird one... I'm having the exact same issue. I created www.olympicbikeshop.com the HTML boxes and linked them to "menu.html" and "menu2.html". This seemed to be working for a while but now the pages are all off center despite the fact that the page settings are set to center horizontally. Today I created a new site and tried the same trick at www.resourcemobile.com. The page was originally HTML and the header was built into the page. Everything was working fine, but after switching to PHP and referencing “menu1.html” and “footer.html” in the menu boxes, suddenly the page was no longer centered on the screen and the blue background disappeared. The menu bars appear fine and the settings are all correctly set to display the page as centered horizontally, so I'm at a bit of a loss for what might have happened. I'm not sure of the switch from HTML to PHP caused this or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Cri

Sorry for the horrible grammar in the last post. I have removed the HTML boxes referencing the menu and footer pages, embedded the menu and footer into the page and republished. The formatting was immediately returned to normal and now the page is centered properly and the background color is correct. The HTML boxes are obviously causing this problem as I have retained the page as a .php extension. Could there be a bug in a recent version of Blue Voda causing this issue?

I created www.olympicbikeshop.com using HTML boxes which were linked to "menu.html" and "menu2.html" to create a header and footer which could be updated from a single location within the site. This seemed to be working for a while but now the pages are all off center despite the fact that the page settings are set to center horizontally. Everything was working fine, but after switching to PHP and referencing “menu1.html” and “footer.html” in the menu boxes, suddenly the page was no longer centered on the screen. The menu bars appear fine and the settings are all correctly set to display the page as centered horizontally, so I'm at a bit of a loss for what might have happened. I did the same thing on another site (www.resourcemobile.com) and had the exact same issue, plus the background disappeared. I then removed the HTML boxes referencing the menu and footer pages, embedded the menu and footer into the page and republished. The formatting was immediately returned to normal and now the page is centered properly and the background color is correct.

More than a bug, BV has evolved to follow the most recent rules regarding WC3 compliance.
This has affected the page code structure as now there is a clear separation between the CSS and the objects code, whilst before the styling (css) was being embedded on a per object basis.

Unfortunately, this has also affected the PHP include method with the results you have already experienced. And, unfortunately, there is no easy solution. I will investigate to se if there is something that I can do, although I doubt it.
