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

as far as i can see this product is interfering with the css of my style...when i disable it everything shows up fine, when i enable it, i dont get wounded corners...
can i some how fix this?

Hi

It works fine on my site however it wont work whenever you view a thread. It just shows the images to the left stacked on top of each other. On every other page they load fine. I had a look at the source code and it appears that the links are being parsed as relative urls on the pages where the menu shows up and as absolute urls on pages where it wont show up, even though both are calling the afm_fisheye_menu template.

Apart from that, it's still calling the js files on every page so I'm not sure what the problem could be.

works great but y is there XX in the images

[pericolosogr]

when enabling the product i see the fisheye menu displaying properly, but beside the css thats not working in my style...my png images in header which they show up properly in firefox, look like i am browsing with an IE 6!

The problem is that i dont know where these conflicts come from!

Can somebody explain what this code does? Can somebody make it a bit more simple so that we can use without any more problems?
Thanx

I love this hack. I would however like the ability to add text under the icons when they are docked so that what they represent isn't in question.

mastertek2000:

Yeah, I alredy know about that. What I wanting to do is put a text description under the icon when it is in the docked state. The code that is in the fisheye_menu will put the text up if you move your mouse over the icon.

But if you have more than 5-6 (I have 10-12) icons it wouldn't look that nice when the icons are docked, or the letters would be very small. Just a thought.
