well, I did broach the subject with ED a while back. But she is a busy lady  and I thought that since you made the emoticon script that you would know how to incorporate it into a sliding menu.

I have a million emoticons that I want to display in the menu and I think that that format would hold alot. You could probably get about 5 per line and right now I have about 20 lines (links) in my regular menu. so that would allow about 100 or so to be available on the post page without taking up alot of space...even when pulled out.

just checking out the functions...the only thing I miss with the editor in NW54 is the color...otherwise I am cool with NW54's editor.

I tryed to input your editor script into the forum but got no where nothing would work. and like I said I only really wanted it for hte color. Mainley for my members who do not know HTML...LOL Ican color my posts if I chose.

great job and I like the  box with the emoticons in...but still would like a sliding menu format.  ED has a little emoticon box too on the Blueu page.

I got Ed's sliding menu script... It won't be hard to do at all... there is a few different ways to incorporate the smilies in the sliding menu.

Would you like the smilies to be added to the bottom of the menu on the post page, which will lengthen the menu height or what I could do is have it so that your menu links will only display on all but the post page... having only a few important links including the smilies on the post page...

I discovered a few limitions, 1 being with the font color in the w-editor and guess that is why steve never incorporated into the w-editor.

no, what I want is a slider JUST for the emoticons.

I will put it on the right side of the page

                                                          | M  |     |    

                                                          |  E  |     | 

                                                          |  N  |     | 

                                                          |  U  |  and so forth   | 

The emoticons would be on the lines where the links usually go.  sorry for the crude drawing but I hopw you get the picture...

and the slider would be floating or static depending on what you wanted. and be on the right side and only on the post page. 

I am thinking that this would be a script inside a script...

I think I could put the emoticon links into ED's script but I have no way to get the menu to show only on the post page or the emoticons to post on click.

Ok I was playing with it on my test site and buy just putting the script in again and saying right does not work. Neither menu will show.  Seems to me that some one once said that you could not have 2 scripts of the same in a page.  I think I might have to make a right table to put it into?

When I take the origianl menu out the new one shows on the left and not the right...I may not have changed all the places it needs to be changed.

I am really script illiterate...well enough of that...it boggles my mind. LOL

and I was wrong, just by recopying the img src behind the first  img src in the line does not make it come up again. it only reads the frist src.

I just had another look at the script and 1^st look, looks like it can be done...



My initial thought was to replace all the "ref[#]" lines in Ed's script with the script below, in this example ref[0] to [2] will show on all pages with ref[3] to [7] except on the post page where ref[3] to [7] will be replaced with ref[3] to [5] on the post page.

Script:    // ALL PAGES ref[0]='Links here will'; ref[1]='show up on all'; ref[2]='pages';    // POST PAGE if (location.href.indexOf("post") != -1){ ref[3]='Post page smilies'; ref[4]='and links here'; ref[5]='and here'; }    // ALL PAGES EXCLUDING POST PAGE else{ ref[3]='More links here'; ref[4]='that will show up'; ref[5]='on all pages'; ref[6]='but the post'; ref[7]='page'; }

Quote: some one once said that you could not have 2 scripts of the same in a page

True, the 2^nd script will be ignored by the browser, but by renaming references, names, and id's and including functions where needed will greate 2 different scripts.

Not ready yet, having - as always - problems to handle with all those script quotations...

But without the 'Solely-on-post-page-script' is is ready: http://www.network54.com/Forum/post?forumid=245402&messageid=0  (Hit the Link to the right there and the smilies should show then)

idea, now I think I will attempt to do that with my text formatting box

that way the slider will be usefull to everyone and they can put in more than emoticons and we can use the SAME slider as what our links are on for the emoticons.

Good on ya for thinking of that. gets rid of having 2 sliders. And is good for links too that you just want to have on the subpages without all the others.

As I said AMAZING...

sorry I can't log in and sorry that that other post is a new one. should have been under this one.

like that idea because I had tried and tried unsuccessfully to put Ed's Sliding menu on the right hand side

Me too and I would not have thought of just extending ED's menu to do different things in different places...I think that is a wonderful soluition. but one thing that I am concerned about is the length of the menu.  Mine now is longer than the page and if it floats on the slide then it is impossible to view or activate the ones that are below the page.

Is there anyway to incorperate a scroll bar into the menu?

so that if it is a long one you can open it and stillscroll up or down the menu?

Just thought of something.  it might not make any differance and a scrollbar would be nice but if you only have certain things showing on certain pages then it would make the scroll bar smaller or larger on those pages depending on what was showing....Is my thought on this correct?

The more I think on it the more i am liking your little window that is here. But I think it should be a little thinner and longer so that it does not overlap the text box when it is by the side.  LOL

I know, I know, winge, winge, winge....LMBO...just my oppinions...

1 way is to use an iFrame and not sure, I thinking of 2 maybe 3 different ways but I'll need to look into them further.

Quote: does not overlap the text box when it is by the side

I thought about that but sence the window can moved around on the page

"Constructive criticism"

Yes, I thought about IFrames but I just learned enough about them to get me into trouble...LOL and since they only let you link to another page I am not sure...not that much knowledge there... you know the little menu boxes that have a drop down with a scroll bar and there are links inside that you highlight and then click the GO button? Again no sence wasting space here because I have not got a clue.

You are right....I just put that little window to the left side outside the text box line and it works fine....  sometimes this old brain is in first and can't seem to shift out...

 

Well I am am glad you look at it as constructive  wingeing. Thanks.  that is the way I mean it...but sometimes I think I need to do my reasearch and have all my opals in one bag before wingeing....

Maybe ED can incorperate a scroll bar into her menu script.   OH ED....LOL  but no hurry...I know she is as busy transfering a website as I should be...

Thanks for your time and trouble and brain power....it is muchly appreciated on this end...
