Custom Dropdown Menu

[XJ]

First of all thank you for this great plugin. I installed the beta version. There is just one thing that I can’t get to work. I want to create some information pages on my blog, for people to reach them I want to create a custom dropdown menu. If I understand it right, you select custom1 under Menu Item #. Then you go to advanced options. Then you put the code in the box with the title Custom Code 1. Here it says:

"Note: The menu uses an unordered list to format the menu. You will need to know some HTML to use this option. The menu is already wrapped in UL tags."

Can you please tell me what this code looks like (small example someone)? Putting the full HTML code does not work and I’ve tried some different stuff, but I can’t get it to work.

Right after trying a big number of various options, I finally figured it out. Not bad for a total noob with coding and such. For anyone interested in this, here is how I got it to work.

[code:2jci5r9z]
<li><a href="">Topic</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="">Dropdown1 topic</a></li>
<li><a href="">Dropdown2 topic</a></li>
<li><a href="">Dropdown3 topic</a></li>
<li><a href="">Dropdown4 topic</a></li>
<li><a href="">Dropdown5 topic</a></li>
<li><a href="">Dropdown6 topic</a></li>
</li>
</ul>
[/code:2jci5r9z]

Your last </li> should be removed.

It works either way for me, with or without the </li>.

I ran into a new problem, I copy the exact same code that works on custom1 into custom2. I then changed the names a bit for a new menu, but it will not show up. Anything I forgot or do wrong? My code looks like this:

[code:16hsl9w5]
<li>
<a href="">Info</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="">topic 1</a></li>
<li><a href="">topic 2</a></li>
</ul>
[/code:16hsl9w5]

Hi XJ,
Could you provide a link o the problem please. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the code you posted above, apart from it missing the </li> at the end.

Sure, its http://netbookworld.com. The thing is, I have the working one in custom2, because I originally made two and that was the only one to show up. If I cut > paste that code into custom1, it won’t work either.

Hi XJ1,
I can’t see anything wrong from your page.

Perhaps try moving the "Custom 2" option to another menu item. If that works, let me know and I’ll take a look at the plugin code as there’s probably a bug in there which is affecting it.

Hi!

Super super plugin, thanks so much for making it!

I’m having the same problems with my Custom page – I tried the construct:

<li><a href="">Other Goodies</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="">Coming Soon!</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

to no avail.  My site is http://www.barbaraling.com – any insights would be most appreciative.  Thanks!!

Hi Barbara,
I just got run over by a car, so won’t be able to reply till later in the day – am heading to the hospital right now.

Hi Barbara,
I’m back from the hospital now.

Do you have anything setup for Custom 1 yet? Is it working?

If it is only Custom 2 which is causing the problem, then which menu item have you activated it in?

Both Custom 1 and 2 are working fine on my test blog so this is tricky for me to bug fix as I don’t have a clue where the problem could be.

you were run over by a car? unblvbl..

great plugin mat, thanks very much!

[imported_Ryan]

Yep. I only suffered a few minor injuries though.

There’s some information about the accident on my blog … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/2008/05/19/dell- … ty-device/

Can I have more than 2 custom dropdowns?  I have a bunch of pages made that fall into different categories.  I’d like to have a drop down for each category.  Is this possible?
