RN Menu - Beta Release

Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2012 3:36 pm

Greetings All,

I was in need a new Menu System for RN...So I wrote one.

This is a simple to use Menu system with admin panel.

You can create a Category, Name the Category, Link the Category, Choose the CSS for it, select an image from pre-uploaded images and pick a rank (order).

Then you can create a link, Name the Link, Pick the Category for the link, Choose the CSS for it, select an image from pre-uploaded images and pick a rank (order).

Any feedback anyone has good or bad, I am all ears.

I will also try to help with any problems.

If you have any problems just let me know.

after a first view in the admin section, i have some questions:

1. why don't you write it all in php - why html and then php?
2. why do you use stripslashes?
3. why do you use unneeded double qoutes in places where you can use simply quotes?
4. why don't you use the RN functions to integrate JS code?
5. why do you use mysql_error(), if we have rnlogs for putting out sql errors.

Sorry, it looks old code styling....

Cause I suck.....and I admit it. You have never heard me say I am some guru. I needed it....and I wrote what I needed the way I knew how to do it. It works...

Dawg, nobody has said you are a guru but as a part of RavenNuke(tm) Development Team i thought you know the functions of the current RN. Sorry for that but it makes me a little bit confused.

I am...I do the end user part. You know the part where people actually use it and break it. Stress testing...That's me.

If you would like to point the way

Give me an example of how I can do better...I will be happy to go through it again.

As long as it is not insecure...or broke. I'm happy!

I wrote this a year or so back. Been using it ever since. Works like a champ!

Hi Dawg,

OLD

Code:

 if (!eregi("admin.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) { die ("Access Denied"); }

New

Code:

if (!defined('ADMIN_FILE')) { die('Access Denied'); }

Old

Code:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">

New

Code:

<table style="width:100%;" border="0" cellpadding="0">

OLD

Code:

                                            echo "<input type='radio' name='c_img' value='$file'>";


                                            echo "<img src='$path/$file' alt='$file'><br />";

NEW but HTML

Code:




                                            echo "<input type='radio' name='c_img' value='$file' />";


                                            echo "<img src='$path/$file' alt='$file' /><br />";

NEW and XHTML

Code:

                                            echo '<input type="radio" name="c_img" value="$file" />';


                                            echo '<img src="$path/$file" alt="$file" /><br />';

Note: Neralex is right, I am also learning and learning. Sometimes I get stuck and I start again and again until I get a good results. I think it is a little bit difficult and lots of work but as soon as you get used to will success and your site will be 100% validated and secured.

Note: I just finished checking your codes. Pretty old and sit down because it could take some days to clean this addon. Shocked

The table-tag need the attribute width="100%" for a clear validation, with td you can use it but not with table.

I love the idea of this module. Was tinkering with something similar but kind of like a Mega Menu. I soon found it was just a "bit" to advanced for someone with my limited knowledge to try to do.

may I have some screenshots? Smile

Jestrella,

It takes less time to install it as it would to take screenshots and upload them and then link them here.

While they do not like that I used tables in it. It works fine and as far as I can tell is secure.

Pop it in and try it out. It is a simple MOD.

PS...
Check your PM's...I will send you a couple of links.
