DHTML catalog
Submitted by diegohermes on Tue, 09/25/2007 - 08:37
I'm using in several projects the module dhtml menu, it makes menu itens been collapsible, very nice, i was thinking if its possible to add this funcionality in the ubercart catalog, you click in a category and the subcategorys slides down (i dont know if the term is right), or maybe only an integration between both, i really doesn't know what is the more simple solution. I know that is not critical issue but it will be a nice add to ubercart.
All defined menus in Drupal get a DHTML menu automatically. It would be great if Ubercart's Catalog block could generate a menu. This would mean one could edit the structure of the menu easily as well. I've just come across this post on drupal.org: If the Ubercart catalog was a real Drupal menu then it would allow menu items to not be links. I've wanted to structure the menu like this in a couple of projects so far. If Ubercart's catalog was a fully fledged Drupal menu it would open things up for more customisation. There is a module called Taxonomy Menu that does exactly that. The problem with this idea is that the paths have to be unique, and the only way you can insure that is using the term ids. That makes for ugly URLs, especially with deeply nested taxonomies (taxonomy_menu/31/49/18/59 ...). I tried having term paths with all the parents' names in the URL, but when the names aren't unique, it's buggy and hard to maintain. Could we fix the ugly urls by using the pathauto api? @Lyle: Thanks for that. I had this module on my desktop for a few days but forgot why I downloaded it. I've just tested it out on a local test site and it works a charm. @mikejocnnor: You just need to create an alias for the taxonomy_menu path and the menu urls automatically change to the aliases. You've just gotta love Drupal!
