Q:
How do I get started with Deluxe Menu? Do you have a link with instructions?
I designed my own website with DreamWeaver 8.0 (
www.lesvants.com ) but don't have a clue as to how to start
designing with your product.
A:
Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now. We'll try to
create it in the nearest time.
Deluxe Menus weren't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menu
into your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-tree.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
It is possible that Dreamweaver changes some paths, so you have
an error in the preview.
On your site or in your browser there'll be no errors.
Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application .
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
Please, try to download trial package once again. We added all
templates in Deluxe Tuner Templates window.
Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner doesn't copy all need images for
Vista Template into your folder. You should do it manually.
After you create your menu in Deluxe Tuner you should copy all images you
need for the menu into your folder and correct images paths.
You should set the following parameter
var pathPrefix_img="";
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it in
the MAC version).
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script> //data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in the
same folder with your index. html page.
Try that.
