EDIT: We seem to have lost a post somewhere!
Categories facility? No, that’s not meant to be present in the Simple CMS theme.
Or are you using the Dropdowns Plugin as well? In which case that plugin isn’t designed with this theme in mind. If you want to control the dropdowns, you can do that directly with the themes code. For example, you can grab the Javascript codes from the plugin and insert them directly into your theme to get the smooth animated effects found in the beta plugin. To control the CSS, you can just add the code from the Dropdowns CSS generator page directly into your themes CSS file.
Ryan,
Oh. This clarifies and confuses somewhat. I have installed the suckerfish dropdown menu 1.6.4 thinking that it was intended as an enhancement for the Simple CMS Theme. I was waiting for your other suckerfish plugin to come out of beta before trying it, as I had assumed that it was a further enhanced menu option. Incidently the Demo link for it seems to be broken. I can follow your comments in your previous reply and think that I can implement them if necessary, but will await your clarification on the respective roles of the 2 plugins for use in a CMS only site.
Thanks
BrianNo, the two plugins are unrelated. I included a dropdown menu in the Simple CMS theme as the only other route to displaying sub pages would be to add a sidebar or to setup a horizontal sub menu.
The Simple CMS Plugin is designed to work well with the Simple CMS Theme, but the Dropdown plugins are intended to be used on all sorts of blogs/websites hence all the options for adding blogrolls, archives, categories etc.
The dropdown plugin beta demo link seems to be working fine now. I don’t know why it wouldn’t have been working before.
The Simple CMS theme is intended for developers looking to recode a WordPress theme from scratch. So I’m assuming most people using it will know enough to be able to add the necessary codes to the core theme files to get the extra options in the dropdowns plugin working. You can still install the plugin though, it will work just as well as it would with any other theme, it’s just that there will be a bunch of useless options in the admin panel that’s all.
Ryan,
Thanks for the clarification. Re the ‘bad’ link it could possibly be the result of the following error message that I get in both IE7 and Firefox:-
“zfalse is undefinedâ€Thanks for the bug report. Quite a few people have noticed that but never told me what actually happened and how the bug affected them. So I’ve ignored it and put it on my list of minor corrections to do some day. I’ve now gone and quadruple checked the demo page in IE7 and sure enough, the bug is preventing the page from loading some times. So I’d better get that fixed quickly. Thanks for the help
