Does it always generate menus with three levels? Or is there some clever trick to have more levels? Emphyrio Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:21:12 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc5 Hello! I can not work with this component, since appears mistake: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in z:\home\r.ru\www\administrator\components\com_automatic_menu\admin.automatic_menu.html.php on line 9 Dmitry Sun, 04 May 2008 15:14:33 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc6 Wow, this is a great time-saver! Thanks! Feature request/idea: since I use one giant section for all related categories, how about an auto-menu for categories only? Or is this already possible in the current auto-menu... Fraser Mon, 05 May 2008 00:03:24 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc7 Hello, Happy that you liked it. No, for now it always makes menus with three levels as this is the hierarchy joomla imposes with the structure of sections-categories-content items. I hope this answers your question. admin Sun, 04 May 2008 15:58:12 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc8 hello, I think you get this error because you don\'t have PHP 5 installed. We just uploaded a new version which is tested with PHP 4, hope it works now :cheer: Kati Mon, 05 May 2008 17:30:39 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc9 Thanks, happy you like it :cheer: Good idea, we\'ll see what we can do and let you know if we have a version where this can be done! Kati Mon, 05 May 2008 12:28:44 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc10 I use old version it\'s work fine, but new version can\'t work, it not create menu, where link for old version. Thank you Prommart Tue, 20 May 2008 09:07:25 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc11 I am not sure which version you have. I put a link on the overview page. I hope it\'s the one you are interested in. However, we would be happy if you could tell us about your problem so we can fix it in the new version since others might be experiencing the same problem... Hope this is useful! Kati Wed, 21 May 2008 16:17:27 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc12 Looks great, but I got one question, does it works with vertical menu? edgar Thu, 22 May 2008 12:32:06 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc13 Thanks :) The layout doesn\'t actually depend on our component. You can define the menu to be vertical in the corresponding module properties. (as you would do with a manual menu) Hope this helped... Kati Thu, 22 May 2008 14:13:24 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc14 Hello, Where do you tell it what section / category to create a menu from? Thanks. Klashma Tue, 27 May 2008 04:55:55 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc15 Hello, For now, the menu is built automatically from all sections and categories you have created. We are working on a version which will come out in the next 2-3 months which will let you select the section(s) / category(ies). If the menu doesn\'t work, please send us an e-mail so we can help you with it... Kati Tue, 27 May 2008 12:09:37 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc25 Hello, We just created a new version which allows the selection of categories / sections as well as a few other things. It is still beta and has not been entirely tested. However, if you want to try it out, you can download it here: http://www.thetricky.net/automatic_menu%202.zip Please let us know what you think of it! (and if you come accross any problems) Kati Sun, 01 Jun 2008 16:36:46 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc26 Hello, We just created a new version which allows the selection of categories / sections as well as a few other things. It is still beta and has not been entirely tested. However, if you want to try it out, you can download it here: http://www.thetricky.net/automatic_menu%202.zip P lease let us know what you think of it!

It appears to be partially working, but the automatic menu interface is full of PHP Notices... Here is a very small sample... Notice: Undefined variable: row in \\administrator\\components\\com_automatic_menu\\views\\automatic_menu\\tmpl\\form.php on line 31 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in \\administrator\\components\\com_automatic_menu\\views\\automatic_menu\\tmpl\\form.php on line 31 Notice: Undefined variable: sectionId in \\administrator\\components\\com_automatic_menu\\views\\automatic_menu\\tmpl\\form.php on line 36 Notice: Undefined variable: row in \\administrator\\components\\com_automatic_menu\\views\\automatic_menu\\tmpl\\form.php on line 31 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in \\administrator\\components\\com_automatic_menu\\views\\automatic_menu\\tmpl\\form.php on line 31 Notice: Undefined variable: sectionId in \\administrator\\components\\com_automatic_menu\\views\\automatic_menu\\tmpl\\form.php on line 36 Notice: Undefined variable: row in \\administrator\\components\\com_automatic_menu\\views\\automatic_menu\\tmpl\\form.php on line 31 I\'m running your tool on a brand-new joomla 1.5 install with no sample data installed.

Klashma Mon, 02 Jun 2008 12:06:10 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc30 Thanks for the feedback! A new version is now available under the same link which should correct the error messages you get! Kati Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:11:41 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc31 Hi, Is it posible to create a contextual menu for the categories for the current section the user is in? Thanks! Rafa Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:07:23 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc32 Hello again! Good work! Two things I found: - Where did the \"update all\" menu button go? - When clicking update selected menus without any menus selected, a blank menu appears in the menu list. Thanks! Klashma Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:24:34 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc33 Hello, Thanks again for helping. :cheer: - The issue with the creation of an empty menu is resolved. - Concerning the update all, you need to check all the menus to update before doing the update. (can be done in one click with the checkbox next to the ID) Kati Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:52:46 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc34 Hello, If I understand you right, you want to have a menu which is updated on-the-fly while the user is surfing? This is not possible with our component as the goal of our component is to create standard menu items for joomla which are static. Maybe you can find another extension that will do what you are looking for. Kati Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:19:04 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc35 Hello, Today I\'ve created all my content their sections / categories. For some reason, the automatic menu system does not populate the menus anymore. I will create an empty menu, but that\'s it. Is there any way to troubleshoot this? Thanks, S. Klashma Wed, 04 Jun 2008 04:20:57 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc37 Great extension ! v2 really usefull. Suit my site beautifully Suggestion: like your extension name (automatic menu) there should be auto update option for selected menu by one click, eg by choosing component-automatic menu, suppose some menu auto update, no need to make selection and click update button. Thanks sl Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:57:15 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc38 Do you know how to integrate this automatic updater to another type of menu, or how to make it with a drop down menu? Gerald Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:53:35 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc39 Can this be integrated with a drop down menu. I mean with another menu module type? or can this be modified so I can have another type of Menu? Gerald Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:55:44 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc40 glad you like it! As you seem not to be the only one looking for such an update button, we will certainly integrate it in the version for release, thank you for your feedback! Kati Thu, 05 Jun 2008 08:06:50 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc41 Hello, I copied your message to our new forum where it will be easier to discuss your issue. I hope this is ok with you...Could you give me some more details about when it stopped working? Forum link to your message: http://www.thetricky.net/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=271&func=view&id=1&catid=3 Kati Thu, 05 Jun 2008 08:09:05 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc42 Hello, As long as your drop down (or other type) of menu makes use of the standard menus of joomla, yes. Therefore, it really depends on how you\'re going to make it into a drop-down menu. If it\'s just a module you\'re using it should probably be ok. Kati Thu, 05 Jun 2008 08:12:58 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc57 When I update the menu, it removes the submenu structure and place all the menus in the same level Jento Wed, 11 Jun 2008 08:12:25 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc59 Hello, The menu is based on the structure of categories and sections. Are you sure you put your articles into categories and sections? If possible, for bugs / problems write to the forum (no membership required) I hope this solved the problem... Kati Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:42:41 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc62 this is great, wish i had found it before having the template done. not sure if it is possible, could the update produce several modules based on sections. or at least have several copies of the module, one for each section? and lastly, seems to generate a menu based on the article. so i have for a menu sect -cat --artic where i really wanted sect -cat -blog list of articles. gd Thu, 12 Jun 2008 06:16:32 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc64 Hello, Thanks for the suggestions. The first suggestion will be possible in the next release. It is already available as a beta version if you\'d like to test it. The second is not possible and not planned. If we get more requests, we will look if it\'s possible without making the component too complicated. Kati Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:20:16 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc66 In case you have tried to post to the forum, we fixed the issue of \"code not correct\" and there shouldn\'t be any problems for posting anymore! Kati Thu, 12 Jun 2008 22:19:20 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc67 will give the beta a test if you like. just point me at a download and will try it out. glenn Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:26:29 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc68 Hello, this seems like a very useful component and what I\'ve been looking for, however my installation is not working correctly. The menu layout produced is currently like this - Section 1 Category 1 Article 1 Section 1 Category 1 Article 1 Section 1 Category 1 Article 1 Instead of - Section 1 Category 1 Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 Category 2 Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 Any idea why this would happen? Would love to get it working correctly! Cheers Tom Fri, 13 Jun 2008 01:23:23 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc70 It\'s on the overview page. But here is the direct link: http://www.thetricky.net/automatic_menu%202.zip If you have time, we\'d be happy to have some feedback and we have a forum in case of bugs. Cheers Kati Fri, 13 Jun 2008 09:38:08 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc71 When I run the component, a notice appears: Undefined offset 0 in joomla/administrator/components/com_automatic_menu/admin.automatic_menu.html.php on line 87 Reason: The SQL command returns 0 rows, as in my german joomla \'articles\' is rendered as \"Beiträge\". Benjamin Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:17:23 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc72 Great component. What I would like to see is: * I create an Menu depending on one section or category. * This Menu is displayed only if one of the articles are displayed (instead of manually choosing them in the list of the module properties.) This would be a great simplification for my website users - that\\\'s why I would even try to program it myself. Perhaps this is a good basis of cooperation. Benjamin Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:10:38 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc73 Hello, I imagine you\'re already using the beta version. I think you\'re idea is great as it would be useful for our website as well. I haven\'t looked at a way to acheive this... I\'ll have a look this weekend and tell you whether it\'s quite easy (and I will just quickly include it myself) or whether it would be a good idea to do this together. I\'ll keep you updated. Cheers Kati Fri, 13 Jun 2008 12:10:30 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc74 Thanks for the remark. We\'ll have a look at how to make it compatible with joomla version which are not in english. Should be available soon.. Kati Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:53:58 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc75 I\'m trying out this component and when I click on update menu, I get the following error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in [color=blue]C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\Joomla_new\\administrator\\components\\com_automatic_menu\\admin.automatic_menu.html.php on line 46[/color] Clement Gitonga Fri, 13 Jun 2008 14:32:16 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc76 Hello, I copied your bug report to the forum, so we can discuss it better. Could you maybe tell me what your menu name / title are (or whether they contain any specific caracters) Here is the link to your post: http://www.thetricky.net/index.php?option=com_fireboard&itemid=272&func=view&id=18&catid=3 you don\'t need registration. Cheers Kati Fri, 13 Jun 2008 14:48:14 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc78 Here maybe this will help (the formatting wasnt clear in the other post). My content structure is - Section -Category1 --Article1 --Article2 etc -Category2 --Article1 --Article2 etc The module produces the following menu structure when updated - Section -Category1 --Article1 Section -Category1 --Article1 Section -Category1 --Article1 Only showing one article/category repeatedly. Any ideas? thanks Tom Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:36:01 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc79 Hello, We can discuss it in the forum... I already copied your entry and posted an answer. http://www.thetricky.net/index.php?option=com_fireboard&itemid=272&func=view&catid=3&id=27#27 Kati Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:43:21 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc85 hello, I just realized and tested that this is a way of doing this: http://de.siteof.de/extended-menu-faq-split-menu.html I think extended menu is already capable of doing what your automenu does - but it does much more, that\'s why its parametrasation is far from intuive. Benjamin Benjamin Pick Mon, 16 Jun 2008 09:17:37 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc86 Hello, I am aware there are similar components which are very good.... However, I decided to program my own component because the others didn\'t suit my needs, especially in terms of usability and the way it functions ( create a normal joomla menu... ) Happy you found a component that suits you... :cheer: I\'ll probably still try to implement your idea for the next release... Kati Mon, 16 Jun 2008 09:29:54 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc89 well, no ... I didn\'t say that I\'m happy with it: I tried the example, and it worked, but I don\'t understand why; I tried my own application, and I can\'t get it running. What did your investigations show? I\'m also thinking about a (optional) plugin that updates the corresponding menu every time an article is saved. Benjamin Wed, 18 Jun 2008 11:14:01 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc90 Oh ok... My problem is currently getting the itemid for section and category view... I can send you my code tonight if you want... The automatic update would be very cool... I am investigating that as well as we\'ve had several request...Haven\'t figured it out yet... Kati Wed, 18 Jun 2008 12:12:40 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc132 Hi guys GREAT component... no problems just a big THANKS. Life is easier now! One thing I would love to see is the preservation of ordering in the automatic_menu component. Once installed and the order of menu items is set, I would LOVE this order to be preserved when the UPDATE MENU is executed. Other than that.... almost perfect!! Robin Fri, 01 Aug 2008 08:42:13 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc133 Hello, First of all thanks :) Yes, for now on an update the menu is totally deleted and not updated. We will implement this soon I hope so that the menu will be really updated instead of recreated... We\'ll keep you posted.. Kati Sat, 02 Aug 2008 09:45:16 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc140 I had version 1.5 and was about to come here and post a request for a per section way to organize. Now version 2 has it and its working perfecly! Thanks for this great tool! really speeds up updating my website, thx!!! B) Daniel Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:06:07 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc148 I installed it. I have sections, categories and articles setup. I have the automatic menu module setup. I clicked \"update menu\"... and nothing happened. What am I missing here?.... Tim Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:51:56 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc150 Hello, Yes, several people had this before. In the download section there is a component called automatic menu beta (not automatic menu 2 beta) you could try it, it resolved the problems for some people. Let me know if it works ;) Kati Fri, 22 Aug 2008 08:07:13 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc260 I tried both :( and None of it worked I am willing to send you any log files etc which may help you debug this :) Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:17:22 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc261 I was able to make it finally work - i had to enable menu assignment to \"all\" Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:26:31 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc262 good :) sorry didn\'t think of mentioning this... Kati Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:59:50 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc267 1) I installed Automatic Menu 2. 2) Created an automatic menu for my Articles section which has 23 categories and two test articles in separate categories. 3) In Module Manager, enabled the module (a mod_mainmenu module) and set menu assignment to \"all\" as per the above instructions. The menu title shows up in my left column as it should, but no categories or links are displayed just as if it were a mod_mainmenu module with no menu items defined. I guess I must be confused as to exactly what this module is supposed to do. Terry Mon, 08 Dec 2008 22:44:24 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc272 I installed the component, but there was nothing like you describe in the setup here. I was not presented with anything to enable the component. The only thing I had was an item in my menu creation panel to make an automatic menu, but it fails with a 404 error keb1965 Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:24:45 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc274 Did you try reinstalling? And try the other vesion? Kati Wed, 17 Dec 2008 10:29:09 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc275 Yes, I tried all 3 packages, and reinstalled 3 times, the problem is I cannot find any of the things you reference and it \"seems\" to act differently than described. I noticed that the folder under components is empty, but since there is only the admin section in the installer, I suspect that is correct. keb1965 Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:50:10 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc338 hello This could be very good for me but it shows only the title at this time and no menu items, any help is appreciated. menu user Sun, 22 Feb 2009 06:05:46 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc364 hi there, I think the documentation is not clear about the fact that after one has created a menu, he still has to update it... One would expect that this is automatic... ;-) You might want to incist on this fact in the how-to on top of this page Regards, Michel Michel Thu, 19 Mar 2009 10:45:42 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc371 I have 2 different sections with categories and articles. I created the first menu and assigned module to show up on a specific page. Its working fine. Then I created a 2nd menu for the second section & categories and assigned module to show up only on that specific page. - Issue is that only one of the categories is being show on that 2nd menu and not the other ones. Where do I go from here? Thank You vecdom Sat, 21 Mar 2009 11:23:32 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc495 Your extension works great! Is there a way to have the details of each area not displayed until the category is selected? We\'re doing a website for a school, and going to use this to create the menu for all teacher personal pages. The number of possible teacher pages for each category can be extensive, so if the menu could show like this.. + Teacher Name 1 + Teacher Name 2 and then when name selected + Teacher Name 1 - Teacher Name 2 - Page 1 - Page 2 - etc... Thanks for any feedback! bob boyd Sun, 07 Jun 2009 23:33:31 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc498 I\'m happy the extension works for you :) Concerning your question (if I understood it right), it is absolutely possible. You should go to modules and open the settings of the menu. On the right, under module paramenters, you will find a radio button: \"Always show sub-menu Items\". If you set this to no, your menu should have the desired behaviour... Let me know whether it worked :) Kati Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:06:04 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc499 I\'m logged in and looking at the module settings and \"Always show sub-menu items\" isn\'t an option. Is there a specific version of the extension that I might not have? Bob Bob Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:49:17 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc500 Maybe my explanations weren\'t clear... you need to go under extensions -> module manager and then click on the module corresponding to the menu you want and there the option should be. Does this work? Kati Mon, 08 Jun 2009 17:02:26 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc501 I went to that page; the only parameters available are: module class suffix generate menu from choose section choose category display category names display article names limit of articles output mode category ordering article ordering Does that make sense? bob boyd Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:07:34 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc502 I put this discussion in the forum under help, it might be useful for others. I hope it is ok for you. I also put some screen captures, maybe they will help us figure out your problem. The link is the following: http://www.thetricky.net/forum?itemid=328&func=view&id=326&catid=4 You can go under: Automatic menu component help and way to have the content not expand (From comments) Kati Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:59:07 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc503 So, if I read your help article correctly, I should have a menu created using the regular menu module and then the automatic menu is a submenu off of that? So my menu would be: Teachers (created as a regular menu item) Teacher Name 1 (created as an mod_autogen menu) Article 1 (created by auto menu) Article 2...xx (all created by the auto menu) If you send me your email address, I\'ll send a screen cap of how this is currently configured. Bob bob boyd Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:41:53 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc504 OK. The menu generated that time, but everything is at the same level...i.e. teacher names and the associated articles are all at the left edge...nothing sent down as submenu items. Please help...this is getting frustrating. Bob Boyd Thu, 11 Jun 2009 04:03:59 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc505 Ok... I think I understand your problem. The way the automatic menu functions is that it creates a hierarchy in the following way: -section 1 - - category 1 - - - article 1 - - - article 2 - - category 2 - - - article 3 - - - article 4 etc.... If I understand it right, you are creating some of the menu items yourself... in this case the component cannot guess that they should be the parent item for an article... You could either define it yourself for each menu item (but this would imply modifying each menu item one by one) Or you could create a section: Teachers and categories for each teacher and the put each article in the right category... Does this make any sense? Kati Thu, 11 Jun 2009 10:25:33 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc506 Yes, what you said makes sense and that is exactly what I\'m trying to do. I have a section titled \"HS Teachers\" and categories for each teacher. The content is laid out into the separate categories, but the menu is generating all on one level. bob Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:57:04 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc507 Ok... what version of the component are you using? the normal or the beta? What about the joomla? I have seen some problems with the component beta version... If you have this one installed, maybe you can try the other one... Kati Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:16:39 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc533 Sorry in advance for my english, I\'m Italian. I just would like to say that this component works great. I would like to add a step that could be ridiculous, but I think that too much information is better than no information. After you did the new, in the (very little manual) there is written “Finally, don\'t forget to publish the corresponding module on the pages you would like.”, this means that after you published this menu, a module will be created automatically in the module manager list, there you can find it under “mod_mainmenu” kind, and the name will be the title, not the module name. I hope this can help some dummies…like me. ciao! viviana Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:00:31 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc541 hello, sry about my english.its not perfect^^. so, when i go under menü manager and add a new menu manually and then under the component automatic menü click on \"update\" ,the component will delete the manually added menu entry.why? aleks Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:49:09 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc553 Hello, Sorry for my late reply... This probably happens if the name of the menu you create manually is the same as the name in the automatic menu. In the beta version, this should not happen. However, this version is not perfect and can have other bugs.... Let me know if you find a solution... Kati Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:21:08 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc575 Hi, i gernerated the menus using the default template. But if i click on the generated menu items another template is chosen. Maybe it happes, cause i assigned other template as default as it was assigned after the installation of joomla? Greets Pierre Dole Tue, 13 Oct 2009 10:43:40 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc576 Ok, i selected the template of my choice, saved the menu and \"update(d) the seleected menu (s)\". Now there are all menu items twice. Doing the same again, there a 3 items of each... Pierre Dole Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:01:15 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc589 hi i like your component, but the change of the template and the itemid is not useful for me... would you update it? Tofix Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:24:11 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc634 Can I integrate links in my new menu with site map, generated with Seo service map2 or other? thanks. Alex Sun, 04 Apr 2010 16:36:17 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc635 This would be great except it doesn\'t truly \"update\" the menu when a new article is added. It simply deletes, and recreates. The problem with this is: if there\'s a link in an article\'s paragraph, that links to one of the menu items, the link becomes broken after a menu \"update\". I would PAY for a version of this that took care of this problem. Suggestion: have the save/apply buttons automatically add the article to the auto menu. Or, at least have a special \"add to automenu\" button somewhere on the article editor page. Scott Sun, 04 Apr 2010 19:16:28 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc636 I don\'t know. This program generates standard Joomla menus, so if the software you mention just uses the information contained in the database, it should work. Sander Sun, 04 Apr 2010 21:04:20 +0100 http://www.thetricky.net/automatic-menu-component/75?task=view#josc637 I would like to change it that way, however, Joomla has no API for the creation/deletion of menus (that I know of). This means a program which does such changes on-the-fly would be very unstable. One wrong change could mean that all menu items are lost. This was the only work-around I\'ve found that\'s reliable enough. Sander Sun, 04 Apr 2010 21:06:22 +0100
