You can incorporate the Dropdown Menu in any website for free without any Flash knowledge. There is the possibility to have multiple levels menu with roll over\/out animation effects. The text is HTML\/CSS formatted and you can specify the orientation and alignment. The action for each item can be specified as well. There are more customizable properties on the Live Demo.<\/p>\n\n\n
Make sure your Wordpress version is greater than 2.8 and your hosting provider is using PHP5.<\/p>\n
[dropdown-menu-fx][\/dropdown-menu-fx]<\/code> where you want the Flash to show up in your post\/page<\/li>\n- If you want to make the Dropdown Menu FX part of your theme, edit the template files and add
<?php dropdownmenufx_echo_embed_code(); ?><\/code> where you want it to show up<\/li>\n- Go to FlashXML.net<\/a> and customize your Dropdown Menu FX<\/a> using the Live Demo. Generate the
settings.xml<\/code> text and use it to overwrite wp-content\/flashxml\/dropdown-menu-fx\/settings.xml<\/code><\/li>\n- To use your own text, update the
wp-content\/flashxml\/dropdown-menu-fx\/menu.xml<\/code> file accordingly<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Additional settings file<\/h4>\n
To embed the Dropdown Menu FX more than once, you will need another settings file. Let's assume your new file is called settings2.xml<\/code>. Add [dropdown-menu-fx settings=\"settings2.xml\"][\/dropdown-menu-fx]<\/code> where you want the Flash to show up in your post\/page. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the file name as the first argument<\/strong> of the dropdownmenufx_echo_embed_code()<\/code> function call (for example <?php dropdownmenufx_echo_embed_code(\"settings2.xml\"); ?><\/code>).<\/p>\n No Flash support text<\/h4>\n
To support visitors without Adobe Flash Player, you can provide alternative content by adding the text between [dropdown-menu-fx]<\/code> and [\/dropdown-menu-fx]<\/code>. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the text as the second argument<\/strong> of the dropdownmenufx_echo_embed_code()<\/code> function call (for example <?php dropdownmenufx_echo_embed_code(\"\",\"Alternative content\"); ?><\/code>).<\/p>\n If you have PHP4<\/h4>\n
To make it work with PHP4, add [dropdown-menu-fx width=\"600\" height=\"300\"][\/dropdown-menu-fx]<\/code> where you want the Flash to show up in your post\/page. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the width and height as the third and fourth argument<\/strong> of the dropdownmenufx_echo_embed_code()<\/code> function call. Don't forget to provide your own width and height values, since 600 and 300 are just examples.<\/p>\n Getting rid of the FlashXML.net label<\/h4>\n
