Introduction¶

Users manual¶

Just place {outColor}, {overColor}, {actColor} where you want to use it in the TMENU and add replace_outColor = 1 or over- or act- Color (or combinations) to the TMENU to have it replaced. If a page hasn't specified a color, a lookup through the rootline will occur until one is found.

The added fields are also added into the rootline, so you can get them with fullRootLine to benefit from the “slide” functionality.

The field names are tx_nmcmenu_outcolor, tx_nmcmenu_overcolor and tx_nmcmenu_actcolor.

IMPORTANT: The “replace_...” directives must be declared for the TMENU object itself, NOT for it's NO or RO or ACT states.

Here is an example of a menu using this functionality:

# TopMenu cObject
temp.topMenu = HMENU
  # First level menu-object, textual
temp.topMenu.1 = TMENU
temp.topMenu.1 {
replace_overColor = 1
replace_outColor = 1
replace_actColor = 1
    # Normal state properties
  NO {
allWrap = <td class="topMenu" id="topMenu{elementUid}" style="background-color: {outColor};">  | </td>

subst_elementUid = 1
RO = 1

RO_chBgColor = {overColor} | {outColor} | topMenu
}

            # Enable active state and set properties:
  ACT = 1
  ACT {
     allWrap = <td class="topMenu" style="background-color: {actColor};"> | </td>
     ACT = 1
  }
}

And here is an example of it being used somewhere within a page

subparts.sideTitle = TEXT
subparts.sideTitle {
  data = leveltitle: -2
  dataWrap = <td class="sideTitle" style="background-color: {fullRootLine:2,tx_nmcmenu_actcolor,slide} ;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; | </td>
}
