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

V. 0.95-beta
+ Added a couple necessary AdminCP options
--- Enable/Disable option
--- Path to fisheye directory option

V. 0.94-beta
+ Fixed IE Quick Edit bug
+ Fixed IE font size drop down bug
(I have a feeling that this version will fix most of the Ajax related bugs, but members will have to let me know...)

+ Mood Manager now able to change moods in IE..

-- You can now edit the stylesheet by going to the 'afm_fisheye_stylesheet' template

Step 6:
Come back to this thread and give me some feedback...

Script adapted from:
http://www.ndesign-studio.com/blog/mac/css-dock-menu

Here are some free icons you could possibly use with the dock:

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

Putting jQuery into "No Conflict" mode should solve any problems with any JS or AJAX on a page. There should be no other reason it conflicts.

I don't have this mod downloaded, but in the code find something like:

<!--dock menu JS options -->
<script type="text/javascript">
	
	$(document).ready(
		function()
		{
			$('#dock').Fisheye

and replace the "$" with "jQuery".

I haven't been able to test this "CSS Dock" on my board yet, though, so I can't be 100% positive this will fix all conflicts.

No luck, Shoutbox gets hosed. Just says "loading" Thanks for the suggestion though.

I'm having problems with this mod and vbpicgallery. This mod looks fine everywhere except the gallery, where the icons show as a huge size, with text next to them.

this is a great mod, i installed and worked fine, however in IE ,when you click on EDIT post, and try to edit and then click SAVE, it actually does the edit, the it keeps spinning and after a while you get a JavaScript error : style is null or not an object , this only happens in IE, i was wondering if anyone else is having this issue?
Thanks

[Raul7]

i actually just tested this on the LIVE DEMO VB SITE posted in this thread, i get the same error ! so i guess if you have this mod installed the EDIT function wont work? any help is appreciated, btw, this only gets fixed if you DISABLE the plug in in prduct manager, even if you remove the "$afm_menu" from your template , eventhough you dont see the menu any more, you still end up getting the error. !

I can edit in my forum no problem. It's also working with my inferno shout box, just not my gallery. Anybody out there able to give me some ideas about the gallery problem, or even a way to keep it out of the gallery all together (a last resort)

strange, when i even tried it here
Demo - Vbulletin Live example (slightly modified from original release)
still it didnt work ! this is what i did

• Make a post
• then click on EDIT
• do the edit (DO NOT CLICK on GO ADVANCE)
• save
• nothing happens and you get the Jscript error , however it does the edit, it just fails to close the box.
