Thanks very much, i’ll try that today!

Hello, I have just tried kienleog’s last post – but i cannot get it to work for me – whilst the .htaccess file is in 777 mode should the message
It appears Minify URL rewriting is not working. If using apache, verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess or if using nginx verify all configuration files are included in the configuration.

dissapear? – and then after it has gone you change the permission back to 644?

Anyone else got it to work?

Thanks!

Hello again – do you know if I can modify the Plugin files so that when the thumbnail is clicked on it opens the full size/dimension image in a new browser tab rather than the same one requiring the viewer the click the Back button?

Thanks!

Hi Marventus, ah that makes sense, i knew it must be a slight change in how the call fins the path to the .js file – i’ll try this tomorrow!

And yes I was just trying out liking to the online JQuery library to see if it fixed any of my conflicting plugin issues, but thanks for pointing out that WordPress houses its own version anyway at that location I did not know this!

Well if you are doing this out of passion for developing and helping other people then i think that is very very kind of you.

Many thanks!
Lucy

By some mystery it must have known i was talking about it – i logged in and out again and my feature came back!

Sorry i mean version 3.1.3,

Cheers

Hi Marventus – PLEASE IGNORE MY LAST MESSAGE!!! – ON my live site I can see menu.js is being loaded (bit not on my local???) – so I will now look at possible things I have done wrong in my actual script / CSS for the navigation and get back to you if I have any ore queries!

– I wonder if it may be ok but just not working in the same way my Easing slider isn’t working in the Home page because of conflicts with other J Query loading to…

Anyway, thank again for all your help i’ll get back to you.

P.S can I give you some starts next yo your profile on here or something to say thank for all your time and help? (an if you don’t actually work for WordPress i’ll be even more impressed!)

Cheers!
Lucy

Hi Marventus!

Thanks for that, I changed the call to to eh menu.js script in my header.php to what you said above – i tried the other ways in the function.php file and could not get it working….

Now when i view the source, the menu.js is listed in the <script> tag – but the path to it is in my parent theme twenty eleven instead of my child themem twentyelevenchild – does it matter if i put the menu.js in twentyeleven/js rather in my child theme? (just thinking for when i update the parent theme if there are updates in the future)

Anyway, the link to the script is in the code if i view source, but not shown as loading on the page in the Script tag in Firebug – and i cannot get the drop down menu to work as at all. If the link to it is in the View source code, does this mean it is loading correctly bu i have done something wrong in my menu.js file or my CSS so that the navigation is not targeted correctly or something do you think?

Many thanks again!

Hi Marventus,

Sorry to bother you again!

– I got the link to the menu.js to work with loading the script directly from the header.php – here’s the code for my header template:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

– and the link is in the source code – but when i click on the link tot he file its brings a 404 message up saying the file does not exist in the location. I saved my js/menu.js folder and file in lots of places in my file system to see if it wanted it somewhere else – ? in the root of the wordpress folder
??then in the wp-content folder
? Then in themes
? then in twentyeleven-child (my theme)
and to no avail, it also showed in Firebug that the script wasn’t being loaded.

Am i doing something else wrong do you think? Cold any other calls to JQuery in any of the plugins i have installed on the site be stopping mine load? ( i know things conflict as i’m having a conflict with easing slider and Mouseover gallery too at the moment).

I wondered if this line:
<?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ ); ?>

in the header was conflicting with something as this uses the wp_enqeue_script function and not sure if you are only mean to use this once on a site, but that did not affect it either.

Sorry again to keep bothering you – i’m sure once i find out the secret ingredient for using JQuery with WordPress i’ll be able to perform magic!!!

Hi Marventus,

Again thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me with such thorough answers and help ?? I will be working this again tomorrow and will let you know the outcome! You shoud be a WordPress tutor!

Lucy

I’ve also just read that WP calls Jquery in no-conflict mode and that in the .js file you need to use Jquery instead of $ – changed all instance of it in my menu.js file but it dd not make a difference – it still looks like it is not being called..

Many thanks, and hope you’ve had a good weekend!

Thanks very much for your reply! yes i will just disable them.

Thanks
Lucy

Hi Marventus, sorry to bother you again ??

– I have added the below code before the closing ?> tag in my child theme’s functions.php file:-
// Call JS Menu Dropdown
function call_js_menu_dropdown() {
wp_enqueue_script( ‘menu’, get_bloginfo(‘template_url’).’/js/menu.js’, false, false, true);
}
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘call_js_menu_dropdown’);

– I have created a menu.js file with the code from the tutorial, but replaced the selectors for the main and sub menus with those in my html code

– I have stored this file in twentyeleven-child / js / menu.js and changed ‘name_of_file’ in my functions.php code to ‘menu’ (i didn’t need the square brackets did i??)

– I have changed the selectors in the css that i copied from the tutorial; to those in my html code

but it looks like the menu.js is not being loaded on the page – i know a little bit about the script tab in Firebug and i think it shows me it is not being loaded….

any ideas what I am doing wrong? I am happy to get the drop downs working first then will style to be an inline sub menu.

I must admit i’m quite confused about how to load JS on my site as I have a few plugins that use it and I am getting conflict between my slider and gallery and read about putting this ‘wp_enqueue_script ‘WordPress function in in stead of calling JQuery the standard <script></script> way – its a bit confusing!

Thank you thank you thank you,
Lucy

Hi Marventus, just looking at this now – do i call the jquery file in the <head></head> of my header.php??

Thanks!

Lucy

Hiya Marventus, you absolute star thank you so much for your reply!

Yes my client is stuck on a horizontal nav so I will try this today and let you know if i have any probs, have a good Saturday! (or whatever day it is where you are)
