contract menu

[johncorry]

I am playing around with the forum software and have quite a menu/submenu list and using taskpanel. I would like the page to open with the menu tree fully contracted but cant see how to make this happen .

Also when the browses are called they are appearing below the menu list rather than beside it. Also the welcome html is below.
Any suggestions please
Thanks
John

Hi John,

>> I would like the page to open with the menu tree fully contracted but cant see how to make this happen .

go into the generated source for the PageHeaderTag procedure, and look for a line of embed code;

If not p_web.IfExistsSessionValue('open_PageHeaderTag_f'&loc:menunumber) then p_web.SSV('open_PageHeaderTag_f'&loc:menunumber,'0').

change the 0 at the end to false;

If not p_web.IfExistsSessionValue('open_PageHeaderTag_f'&loc:menunumber) then p_web.SSV('open_PageHeaderTag_f'&loc:menunumber,'false').

That takes care of all the "dynamic" menus. The fixed menus have a template checkbox "Menu starts Open".

this happens if your screen is "narrow". CSS allows the content to flow (ie based on the css rules that are there.) You can adjust the rules (use Firebug to experiment) to find the optimal settings for your screen resolution. (I think by default it's optimized for wider screens.)
