NT6 to NT7 Accordion menu

[olu]

the items in the menu just stopped working, when I click on the menu item they are not calling the procedures anymore

hi further digging found that it breaks when open as a content is clicked in the menu item window

Hi Olu,

I tried to replicate your problem in example 71 (Books).
I had to apply the changes to the menu (specified here http://www.capesoft.com/docs/NetTalk7/NetTalk7Upgrade.htm#ChangesRequired) or it looked a bit funny.

I set the first 3 menu items to "open as content".

Unfortunately I don't get the same effect as you - it appears to be working ok. If you try with that example do you get the same effect? If the example is ok on your side too, then I guess we need to look at other possible differences in your code.

cheers
Bruce

Hi bruce,
 still not sure what problem is , and yes when I tried with your example it did work on .
but what I noticed looking at the code through firefox is that in NT6 the link refrence is : <a href="Dashboard">Dashboard</a> but on NT7 it has changed to <a onclick="aGet('dashboard','_rid_=209922501');" href="#">Dashboard</a> don't know why

[Bruce]

the difference is cause by the "open as content" switch.
(In C6 you also have to set the name of the content body, web server procedure settings) to get the "content" effect.

cheers

Hi Bruce: Can you elaborate on this please:

(In C6 you also have to set the name of the content body, web server procedure settings) to get the "content" effect.

I'm running Nettalk 7 on C6.  Now that I've upgraded NT from 6 to 7, my menu isn't working properly.  I made the changes that were suggested in the NT docs.  I'm trying to use Double-Drop Menu.  The items on levels 1 and 2 are not appearing.

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I can get the Level 1 Items to appear.  They only work properly on some of the menu items.  I can click: Show Customers and get the Customer Browse to appear.  I can click: Show Inventory and nothing happens.  Both are set up the same in the menu extension.

The only dfference I can see is that I am passing parameters to the Inventory Browse.  But even when I take that away, it won;'t work.

I have tried Popup, Content, nothing, etc.  Nada.

Thanks.

[Bruce]

can you send me an example Jim so I can duplicate here?

[Jim A]

Thanks  Bruce.  After a while this behavior went away.  I'm convinced that it had more to do with the javascript than with anything else. I had deleted the web folders in order to recreate them, etc. and finally it worked.  I will let you know if things go south again.

Best.
