[PLUGIN] Pages with dropdown

[Fergo]

Hi there!

Here is my first contribution to this wonderful project. It's basically a copy of the Pages plugin, but when a page has child items, the parent page shows a dropdown arrow that allows you to collapse and extend when clicked, showing it's child pages.



Options:
- Page name
- Show Home link
- Collapsed by default

Download:
Pages Dropdown - v0.2

Installation:
Simply extract the attached zip (pages_dropdown.zip) file to the plugins directory and enable it in the admin panel (I suggest disabling the default pages plugin).

Other notes:
When using this plugin, clicking the parent page will only expand/collapse the menu instead of loading the parent page (unless it doesn't have any child items). This behavior can be changed by rolling back the original href tag in php file.

Version History:
v0.2 (07/11/2015)
- Improvements on installation. Just extract and enable, no need to manually edit theme files. Thanks Fred for the tips.
v0.1 (06/11/2015)
- Initial release

Greetings from your brazilian neighbor, diego
Keep up the excellent work you are doing.

Hi Fergo,

Thx for your contribution.
Just suggest to use the call hook Theme::plugins('siteHead') for insert the js file in theme

Good idea for this plugin!

Thanks Fred.
Can you elaborate more on that hook? Where do I insert it and how it works?

[Fred]

No problem, in this exemple i prefer use siteBodyEnd hook for load js in bottom page, use siteHead for css.
Add your menu.js in your plugin path.
Add this function in your plugin.php:

Code: Select all

	public function siteBodyEnd()
	{
		// Path plugin.
		$pluginPath = $this->htmlPath();		
		return '<script src="'.$pluginPath.'menu.js"></script>';
	}

Save and finish.

It must notify the user to disable that plugin page, to avoid having a duplicate.

Thanks! It's much more organized now.
I updated the first post with version 0.2.

Hi Fergo, it's a nice feature, if you want you can push your plugin on github, https://github.com/dignajar/bludit-plugins

There are the plugins for Bludit.

Sorry, I not used to version control systems. To create a pull request do I need to clone the entire repository so you can merge into the master branch?

Ok no problem. Here is a link with a little tutorial https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/

It's a nice plugin. The only problem: It does not show the content of the parent page, only the content of the child pages.
