MODx | WF Fancypants

Well, inspired by dev_cw's thread on the MODx Forum, and playing around with one of his Wayfinder config-packs i decided to create one by myself....so here it is :-)

Actually it's a mongrel of two different jQuery-menus, the Vertical Superfish and the Float Menu. You can see it in action on the left side. It's a three level menu which will show it's fancyness if you scroll down the page. It degrades nicely, and even with Javascript turned off you'll be able navigate.
To make it match your design, you just need to edit the fancypants.css-file, so that the menu fits to the colours, proportions and general appearance of your website.

Installation:

You just need to download the zip file here. Unpack the zip-file and copy the folder "fancypants" and the file "fancypants.config.php" in:
assets -> snippets -> wayfinder -> configs.

After that you simply call Wayfinder in your template with:

[!Wayfinder?startId=`0` &config=`fancypants`!]

Troubleshooting:

If the Menu doesn't show up instantly, check the source-code. if you can see the list-elements, but no menu on the website, it's probably hidden under another div. Try to place the wayfinder call further down in your template till it shows up.

Adjustment:

The config-script automatically places all necessary CSS and JS calls in your template header. This example uses PNG images in the menu, so therefore i called an PNG-fix script for IE6 via conditional comments. If you don't wanna use PNG-files for your menu images, you don't need the fix, and you can delete the part of code shown below from the config-file

<!--[if IE 6]>
<script src="assets.../dd_belated_pngfix.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
   DD_belatedPNG.fix(\'.sf-with-ul\');
</script>
<![endif]-->

...after that update the CSS-file accordingly to the new images. Also, if you already use jQuery on that website, you don't need to call it twice, so you can delete the jQuery call from the config-file as well.

to edit the offset and position of your menu, you need to change that part of the CSS-file in your fancypants-folder:

#floatMenu {
   position: absolute;
   top: 120px;
   right: 50%;
   margin-right: 200px;
   width: 200px;
   z-index: 100;
   }

I hope you enjoy the menu, cheers, sharkbait
