Mini Mods - Ajax Fisheye Menu

This modification was just something random that I adapted to vBulletin.. I will release it with the status of beta, and when it has been proven to be stable, I will update it...

Demo of fisheye effect:
Demo
Demo - Vbulletin Live example (slightly modified from original release)

Installation:
Step 1:
- Extract and Upload contents of the "upload" folder to your server

Step 2:
Admin CP> Plugins and Products> Manage Products> Add/Import Product> Import> product-ajax_fisheye_menu.xml

Step 3:
Admin CP> vBulletin Options> Ajax Fisheye Menu >
Change.... Path to 'fisheye' directory
Attachment 72006

Step 4:
- Add

$afm_menu

in whatever template you decide to show menu (most likely navbar or header template)

Step 5(skip if vBa CMPS is not installed):
If you have vBadvance CMPS installed, you will need to do the following in order for this to work on your homepage as well:
- Admin CP> vBa CMPS > Default Settings> Main Options>
- Under the 'Portal Output Global Variables' setting you will need to add "afm_menu"

Step 6:
- Now you will need to configure the menu entries.. open the 'afm_fisheye_menu' template under the 'Ajax Fisheye Menu' template group.
- To add new menu items just use the following format:

<a class="dock-item" href="#"><img src="fisheye/images/home.png" alt="home" /><span>Home</span></a>

To Update:
- Reupload contents of upload folder to forum root...
- Import new product XML file with the overwrite setting on

[S] I will provided limited support for this hack, and will continue to work on and update it when I can.. [/S]

I am no longer developing or supporting this MOD...

There are other things in life more important than VB you know

This conflicts with other AJAX features (as others have noted), but for me it was the AJAX Collapsible First Post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=145187 that didn't play nice. I have temporarily (hopefully) removed this from my forum as the other mod is more important - this is eye candy (damn fine eye candy!). I'd still love to get this working. If anyone has suggestions please let me know. Thanks

Is there a way to make the menu extend the full width of the header? What I mean is change the width. Right now it is very small. If I only have 8 or so icons I would still like it to span from the left side of the screen to the right.

Problem sorted, seemed firefox didnt like the css of that particular style, I had to rejig the header by using a split cell then move fisheye across.

Probably a bit late for you but I just had the same problem with vbpicgallery.

The reason is that the vbpicgallery 'vbpicgallery_main' template doesn't call the headerinclude template so the fisheye include can't be added.

I added an extra plugin on the parse_templates hook to handle the vbpicgallery_headinclude template.

No idea if it's the best way to fix the problem but it works here's my plugin code

PHP Code:

if($vbulletin->options['afm_onoff']){

$vbulletin->templatecache['vbpicgallery_headinclude'] = str_replace($vbulletin->templatecache['vbpicgallery_headinclude'], $vbulletin->templatecache['vbpicgallery_headinclude'] . "
" . 
fetch_template('afm_fisheye_headinclude') . "

" . fetch_template('afm_fisheye_stylesheet') . "

", $vbulletin->templatecache['vbpicgallery_headinclude']);

} 


Anyone know how to code the plugin to check if it's on a vbpicgallery page ? Would checking against THISSCRIPT work inside a plugin ?

Has anyone determined if this will still work under vB 4.x ... or is there a comparable mod that works under vB 4.x ??

(thanks in advance for any insight)
