Multilanguage site: submenu dissapears after search #SOLVED#

[brofield]

After doing this, try updating to this version of the sm2 include file. The changes in this revision are a test only and it may not be the real version. Basically, this uses the referrer page ID as the current page ID when we don't have a current page (i.e. after a search, the menu still considers you to be on the same page as when you started the search). Not sure if this is what is really desired though.

Thank you Brofield for taking the time to check it out. Unfortenately the answer is: not working.

What I did:

- fresh install wb2.7
- enabled page languages in adv. settings
- enabled intro page in adv. settings
- installed SM2 4.5 mod
- installed ALLCSS2
- created the language structure
- ONLY changed 2 lines of code within the index.php of the ALLCSS2 template:

flags:

Code:

<?php show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT, SM2_START, false, " [a]<img src=" .WB_URL .  "/media/flags/[menu_title].gif border=0 />[/a] ", '', '', '', false, '', 0); ?>

menu:

Code:

<?php 
show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT+1, SM2_START+1, SM2_TRIM|SM2_PRETTY, '<li><a ' ."[if(class=menu-current){class=\"menu_current\" }]" .'href="[url]" target="[target]">[menu_title]</a>', "</li>", "<ul>","</ul>", false, '<ul>'); 
?>

- implemented the : <input type="hidden" name="referrer" value="[REFERRER_ID]" />
- changed the include.php

Result: www.yze.nl/cms0

When you do a search, the menu is dissapearing.

Hi,

I have something in common. And that in 2 cases. My site also contains 2 languages: (NL and EN).

Example how something can obtain:

1: visit www.kisstory.be
2: Select a language, English for example
3: Select guestbook
4: Select sign guestbook
5: well, here you see the menu change. Suddenly, EN or NL (Dutch) as a main menu 

For this test I enabled the search capabilities (I will turn it off in some days). If you are looking for something and press search then the menu disappears, only the main menu is visible. A similar case as Knert.

I have no solution for this. The search is normally turned off on my site. And I can live with the problem of the guest book, But it is not a pretty sight.
And for the record: my template doesn't use MENU2 !!!

Grtz,
Luc

Hello,


I have a question, Is sir Brofield still on this topic, trying to solve it?   

Besides that I would like to hear from other multilanguage users if they have this problem or not.

Hope 2 hear from you 

Sincerely,
Knert

Fixed.

In class.frontend.php, function get_page_details(), add the following line:

     // Page ID
     define('PAGE_ID', $this->page['page_id']);
+   define('REFERRER_ID', PAGE_ID);

(Note that this change isn't strictly necessary, but I feel that it is better to have it as it makes the necessary template code a little simpler. Simpler is always better. See below)

In Settings -> Show advanced settings -> Search Settings -> Header, add this input field immediately following the <form> open tag.

     <input type="hidden" name="referrer" value="[REFERRER_ID]" />

In the template, add the following input field immediately following the search <form> open tag.

     <input type="hidden" name="referrer" value="<?php echo REFERRER_ID; ?>" />

If the class.frontend.php is not modified, it can still be done with the code:

     <input type="hidden" name="referrer" value="<?php echo defined('REFERRER_ID') ? REFERRER_ID : PAGE_ID; ?>" />

Upgrade to the latest show_menu2 version 2.6

NOTE: would you please test with these changes and verify for me that it is fixed (I've tested on 2.7 for multi-language sites, and 2.6.7 for a normal site).

Hi Brofield,

First off all...thank you for taking the time to try to solve this issue. I really appreciate it!

Specs:

- WB 2.7
- Allcss2 template

I did exactly what you wrote and it works like a charm! 

The menu stays intact like It should be! Great stuff! So nice to see it works after weeks of stress 

I will now test it in combination with other mods like anynews, multiple menu's etc.
If I have results about that I will put them here right away!

Thank again for helping me (and us) out!

Hello Brofield,

tested the latest version of show_menu2 (v4.60) on an existing WB 2.6.7 multi-lingual site: http://help.websitebaker.org/
Everything works as it should (also tested with WB 2.7), thanks for providing a working solution.

Have updated the show_menu2 module on the addons repository with your latest version.

Thanks for your contribution.
Regards Christian

Hallo Brofield,

I had the same problem like Knert.
Now, the menu stays intact when I click on search and the results are displayed.
But when I click on one of the results all div containers above the div container who includes the search (in index.php of my template) disappear.

I use wb 2.7 with showmenu2 (version 4.6), multilingual site.

Code:

<?php show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT+1, SM2_ALL, SM2_CURR+1|SM2_CURRTREE, false, false, false, false, false, '<ul id="header_menu" class="menu">'); ?>

Is this a problem of my template or a showmenue2 problem?

Sincerely

gucci

Your parameters to the function look wrong. The flags are definitely wrong.
