// YUI Yahoo Treemenu Module for VBA v3 RC2
// by ShawnC
// http://www.shawnc.org
//--------------------------------------------------------------------

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//--> New Installation Instructions
//--------------------------------------------------------------------

The files located in the Upload Directory need to be FTP Uploaded to your VBulletin Forum Directory. Click Overwrite All if it comes up will uploading
Once uploaded, If you are using VBA v3 RC2 then you can Import the Module in this Directory to your VBA Modules and it will work.

If you are Upgrading from a Previous version see next section

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//--> Upgrade Instructions
//--------------------------------------------------------------------

Please Reupload all files into your Vbulletin Directory as I have changed the Javascript and compacted it with the Yahoo Javascript Compactor, Also All Files are hosted
on your domain to speed matters up now.

In Previous versions you had to Change the Header Template to Add the Javascript files, This has been automaticly done inside of the Plugin now so you will need to remove
any manual Header File Changes.

Delete the Old Module from VBA and ReImport the New Module to make sure all settings are overwrote properly.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//--> Installation Instructions on older VBA
//--------------------------------------------------------------------

Please read the Installation.txt file inside of the Package

Follow Normal Installation Instructions by Uploading All Files.

Create a new Module inside of VBA, Choose PHP Module(File)

Change the following Settings

File to Include --> treemenu.php
Templates Used --> adv_portal_treemenu
Use Module Wrapper Template --> Yes

Make a New Template and Call it

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//--> adv_portal_treemenu
//--------------------------------------------------------------------

<tr class="alt1" ><td class="yui-skin-sam">

Also, my nested forums work great within the tree, but the forums at the root level are not showing any links. Any idea what I need to fix? Please note that my CMPS is in root and my forum is in /forum.

Thanks!

Yes this of course follows forum permissions system. I did not code this to allow for Root Level Forums, In All Honestly the Forum this is designed for only had 3 and 4 level sub forums with just 2 or 3 Second Level subforums getting Links. The Array is to add 2 level Subforum Links. But there is no option yet for Root Level ForumLinks sorry maybe in the future I'll add it but probably not. Im sure you can try to add it yourself its not hard to do its in the treemenu.php file

Make sure the Javascript is being included, It appears your javascript is not being included.
therefore the menu is not being transformed into the tree and left as the list.

Hmm, I can't view the forum list on your forum. Best thing to do is use the web developer toolkit, and under the Information Menu->Get Informaiton, click on the links and try to see what the class is they are listed as. Then change the class to work. I tryd to force a class on the menu but Yahoo's treemenu overrides it so you would probably have to change the treemenu.css file i'm guessing. I put a link somewhere in the first page of posts with a link to there documentation pages and you can learn about there CSS files there.

Hmm, what version of VBulletin and VBAdvanced are you using? Try changing the 0,0 to to Subforum ID numbers and see if the error still exists? I did not design this module for the new VBA 3.0 but I don't see why it would not work with it.

Powered by vBadvanced CMPS v3.0 RC2 vb is 3.6.8

Also if you click on any of the urls it takes you to page not found.

I tried changing it still nothing.

The url's not found is because your on a page outside of your forum directory apparently. Somewhere inside of your vbulletin advnced settings has a option to rewrite links for various pages. It should be default set to clientscript.php you can add forumdisplay.php to it and it should rewrite the links with the proper url to it. I use the older version of VBA so i dont know where they hide it in the new VBA settings ( thats why i didnt upgrade i dont like the new layout for admin settings)

ok so I just put a redirect html code into index.php file in public_html folder and moved my portal.php to forums and redirected to that now to just get rid of those errors at the top of the page other then that everything works good.

Any idea on those 2 error codes? I checked those 2 lines but not sure whats wrong.

Line 80

if ( (in_array($forumid,$forums_array, true)) OR (in_array($forum['parentid'],$forums_array, true)))

\

Line 92

if ( (in_array($forumid,$forum['childlist'], true)) OR (in_array($forum['parentid'],$forum['childlist'], true)))

what does line 17, look like on your script?

$forums_array = array(36,109,164,207,221,224);

It should be something like that, but yours probably just has a zero?

try adding some forum ids to it and see if it goes away?

What this array is for, Is your Level 2 subforums that you dont want a link to, IE
Level 2 forums that are not forums but catagorys.

EDIT : Included is a new treemenu.php file, replace the one in your modules directory and rename this one to treemenu.php, It does not have support for Level 2 and Level 3 subforums, and just provides a link to every thing Below level 1.

file uploaded and renamed to treemenu.php errors went away but nothing shows now. I mean no module no links
