AdminMenu NEW

[Guest]

As seen in a few previous posts - I to get very frustrated with the javascript menu tree collapsing after each click.

so.. I've created a New Admin Menu Mod using 99% CSS and 1% javacript.

The 1% javascript is for the IE 5+ fix for the hover and active flyout.

This new admin menu is a flyout sub-category menu instead of the annoying tree.

I was trying to get this out tonight - but getting tired so should be available tomorrow sometime. I will place it on my demo site for you to see and test.

1. Can be a horizontal menu as well

2. Can add as many Sub-cats as you want - no limit - just need to know some plain old html.

3. Can easily add graphics to backgrounds to match your site.

Let me know if you are interested.

Saztar - it can. It can be matched to anyone's theme - just need the colors and/or background images of your site and your done.

Here are the features.

1. Can be a horizontal menu as well

2. Can add as many Sub-cats as you want - no limit

3. Can easily add colors / graphics to backgrounds to match your site.

I was orinigally thinking of taking out the javascript like yours, but I didn't like having to scroll the browser down each time I needed a link near the bottom (there are too many links).

My menu fits in a standard 800x600 window - no need to scroll down.

Demo should be up sometime today for you to take a look if you'd like.

This is the Basic Version.

The Advanced version will be coming out soon to follow - almost done.

With the advanced version you will have the abililty to change colors on the fly just like on the syle section of CC. Also will have the option to go vertical or horizontal. Plus how to add your own custom graphics.

Enjoy!

I liked the look of the admin menu from TheCommish and ordered it, but by the end of the day it hadn't come (it has now - thanks!) and I needed to finish a job. I looked at the saztar one and that would have done fine but wasn't available for self install. I emailed Tony (saztar) and he kindly offered to make it available next day (thank you, I did appreciate that) but still needed the job done quickly, so hacked it myself. What I needed was to get rid of the dreaded tree colapse of the standard menu. Here it is:

and the code to do it is:

Well, now I've got arround to installing thecommish menu and must say this is such an easy install and it works well. Interestingly it takes up about the same screen space as mine (above), so I'll continue my quest for the perfect admin menu and report back later.

Nice work Rob

Feel free to add it to the downloads section (http://cubecart.com/site/downloads and click on 'Add A File' on the left)

[Guest]

OK Rob

I've added it to downloads, thanks.

TheCommish - I'll butt out of your shameless promotion now :-) and will recommend your mod to anyone who wants a really slick looking admin menu, and cheap too at only $5.
