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

+ 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

Script adapted from:

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

This site has hundreds of icons.. but the site is in chinese...

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

If I remove this code it works normal.

Well you are loading jquery two times.. since both these mods use JQuery you should remove one of the instances.. I recommend to remove it from my mod instead of the Lightbox, since mine is still in beta.. I might add a control panel option in a future release to enable/disable Jquery in these type of cases...

EDIT::
Actually now when I think about it.. you should remove the LightBox JQuery code.. because the menu need JQuery on every page.. not just on pages where the postbit is displayed.. so remove the code from the postbit_legacy, and just remember where it goes if you need to put it back later...

to be more specific, remove this piece of the code..
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>

This is a awesome mod! I implemented it as my navbar http://www.pandemicdesign.net/forums/index.php with a few tweaks of the skin. But did you make the icons or find them somewhere? the reason I ask is I need a few more.

Glad you like it.. The icons used are from the original script/maker... http://www.ndesign-studio.com/blog/mac/css-dock-menu

I'm sure you can find more on Google... just type something like "free osx icons" or something of the sort..

Also.. check if your shoutbox is working properly.. for some reason this mod has been haveing issues with people's shoutboxes

Cool so far I see no problems with my shoutbox yet. When I hover over the icons the descript text is white but other then that shoutbox works fine.

you can change alot of the visual settings in the 'afm_fisheye_stylesheet' template

[Evolution06]

Yes I looked in the css as dock-item and the code is #000 which should be black so maybe its because it's cutting into the shoutbox on hover over. No Biggie really I should be able to fix it.

where you put your $afm_menu try doing this...

<table style="width: 100%;"><tr><td style="width: 100%;">
$afm_menu
</td></tr></table>

Let me know if it works...

[Macmillion]

I've put it in Navbar just below the first line <br/>

And no that didn't work sorry.

try placing it in another spot... let's say the footer template, just to see if it's a template problem or something with the actual code conflicting with your site..
