Hi Alan,
is looks like a CSS issue. Try adding a rule like this to main.css or any other css file included in your site:
.nav li { list-style-type:none; }

Hi Remo,
I found putting the code in etc the easy bit, after reading through others problems I sorted one of mine. However I still show the bullet points which I dont want is there a line of code I have to change / delete. If not how can I not show them.
I look forward for your reply.
Toturial is a great help.

Alan.

No, you just have to have this file /blocks/autonav/templates/image_navigation.php but make sure you don’t use
/concrete/blocks/autonav/templates/image_navigation.php!

Beside that there’s nothing else to do!

Hi Remo,

I’ve done everything in the tutorial but the template does not show up in custom template. I’ve create the folders properly and the code is exactly the same! Do i need more then one file in the template folder or just the image_nav.php??

Thanks

Here’s my solution to add an external link that opens in a new window:
Create a text attribute and assign the full URL of the external page in the page’s properties.
Then use the following code:

$linkTextActive = $ni->getName();
$linkTextInactive = $ni->getName();

$picOn = $_c->getAttribute(‘pic_on’);
$picOff = $_c->getAttribute(‘pic_off’);
//$picHover = $_c->getAttribute(‘nav_img_hover’);
$external_link = $_c->getAttribute(‘external_link’);

if ($picOn) {
$linkTextActive = ‘getURL() . ‘” alt=”‘ . $linkTextActive . ‘”/>’;

}

if ($picOff) {
$linkTextInactive = ‘getURL().’” onmouseover=src=”‘.$picOn->getURL().’” src=”‘ . $picOff->getURL() . ‘” alt=”‘ . $linkTextInactive . ‘”/>’;
}

if ($c->getCollectionID() == $_c->getCollectionID()) {
echo(‘
‘ . $linkTextActive . ‘‘);
} elseif ( in_array($_c->getCollectionID(),$selectedPathCIDs) ) {
echo(‘
‘ . $linkTextInactive . ‘‘); //was linkTextActive
} else {
if (is_null($external_link)){
echo(‘
‘ . $linkTextInactive . ‘‘);
}
else {
echo(‘
‘ . $linkTextInactive . ‘‘);
}
}

This seems to be a CSS issue, I think there are plenty of solutions to this. First one that popped into my mind: Try to add this CSS rule:

.verticalmenu li {display: inline; }

Not sure if that works well, it’s just theory… If it doesn’t work – try playing with Firebug and add some styles to the elements in the navigation.

To get by, I’m going to create another navigation with just the sublevel in the body, but I’m still interested if there is an alternative way in the main navigation…

Ok, thanks!
Also, another problem I have is that the sub-levels are appearing beneath the main level images. Perhaps this was addressed above as well but I don’t understand why or how it can be fixed. Thanks again! (see site gospelriver.mysitecreations.com/messages/)

No that wasn’t the question, he thought it might be an option but it isn’t because as you said, you can’t assign properties to external links. You’d have to use a normal page in combination with a custom attribute and some code to check an event like on_start to redirect to the actual page. You’d basically have to rebuild the functionality behind “external links”. No easy was as far as I can see!
