Coding a PHP menu Empty Coding a PHP menu

Post by SyndromeLA June 11th 2013, 1:21 am

Ive been working on structuring my forumotion forum to match my Wordpress site. However im getting hung up at the menu. I can turn it into HTML but it does not function like it should.

So my question:
Is it possible to take a PHP menu off a wordpress site and make it functional on forumotion? Dropdown included.

My Wordpress menu looks as follows in CODE:

Code:
<select id = "responsive-main-nav-menu" onchange = "javascript:window.location.replace(this.value);"><option selected="selected" ><?php _e('Menu', 'site5framework'); ?></option></select>
                     
                     <nav id="main-navigation" class="main-menu">
                     <?php
                     site5_main_nav( array(
                      'container' =>false,
                      'menu_class' => '',
                      'echo' => true,
                      'before' => '',
                      'after' => '',
                      'link_before' => '',
                      'link_after' => '',
                      'depth' => 0
                      )
                      );
                      // Adjust using Menus in Wordpress Admin ?>
                     </nav>

Is there a PHP file I can reference? Im not that great with PHP or anything. Basic HTML and CSS.

what is your site?
this is not a forumotion forum
http://gamesleepcreate.com/forum/

and where are you getting the coding from. there may be a way to import it from a html page, but cant be sure without having all the details to the scripts you are using and url to your forum.

URL to forums is:

The forums you posted about is simply a Wordpress plugin. I much prefer Forumotion.

Its a big mess in the coding department. As its still heavily under construction.

PHP isn't supported by forumotion, sadly (besides from the native PHP support all forums use), means you cannot embed PHP scripts in forumotion.

right the only thing i can think of is to use something that supports php for pages like dose anything from word press give you pages you can work with?, then import them using iframes or what not. unless there is some kind of php script host you can upload php files to like some of the java scripts host. but not sure if thats even possible or if they exist?

i think your best bet world be to seach for what your trying to do for java scripts.

There are plenty of free webhosts that support PHP scripts and you can indeed import them via iframes, if that is what you need @OP

I was digging through all of the PHP files and cannot for the life of me figure out which one has the script in it for this menu to work. Otherwise I would of referenced it same as Java. It has to be there, or else it wouldnt work on the original site. Im thinking it is something built natively into wordpress that is being used. I'll dig some more.

If all else fails iframes would be my last resort. Always heard bad things about those. Like how easy they are to hack. :/

Edit: Although if php doesnt work in general I suppose thats a waste of time haha. I may just re-code the entire thing in CSS and HTML to match.

I dont know.

Edit #2: Whats the drawback to using an iframe? I know they are frowned upon in the coding community in general, but that may be my best option. Ive already started the process of implementing my forums onto a page of my website via iframes.

IFrames' src attributes are definitely too easy to manipulate and much unwanted event abusing can be exploited through client-side XSS, but I don't think that this would be much of a problem. You can always add a regexp to stop dynamic IFrame src attributes.

Example below.

Code:
var regex = /javascript\:(.*)+/gi;
var ifr = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe');
for(var i = 0; i < ifr.length; i++) {
if(regex.test(ifr[i].getAttribute('src').toString())) { ifr[i].setAttribute('src',''); }
}

PHP isn't a language that creates a menu. The PHP you're using is simply creating the markup (and possibly Javascript) for a menu.

You should be able to recreate the markup, which is no doubt HTML and if it requires and Javascript then you should be able to get that too.

Off the website you showed me... I'm hoping you own it or at least have permission to do so... because here is the Javascript for that menu:
Code:
function mainNavChildren(parent , level){
      jQuery(parent).children("li").each(function(i , obj){
         var label = "";
         for(var k = 0 ; k < level ; k++){
            label += "    ";
         }
         label += jQuery(obj).children("a").text();
         jQuery("#responsive-main-nav-menu").append("<option value = '" + jQuery(obj).children("a").attr("href") + "'>" + label + "</option>");
         
         if(jQuery(obj).children("ul").size() == 1){
            mainNavChildren(jQuery(obj).children("ul") , level + 1);
         }
      });
   }
mainNavChildren(jQuery("#main-navigation > ul") , 0);

And here is the HTML:
Code:
<div id="navigation-wrapper" class="clearfix">
                     <select id="responsive-main-nav-menu" onchange="javascript:window.location.replace(this.value);"><option selected="selected">Menu</option><option value="#">Get  Involved</option><option value="http://forums.gamesleepcreate.com">    Forums</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/monster-moments-top-5-kills/">    Monster Moments Top 5 Kills</option><option value="#">Get Gaming</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/the-monster-live/">    LiveStream</option><option value="#">    Videos</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/pwnzone/">        The Pwnzone</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/playthroughs/">        Let’s Play: Full Game Playthrough’s</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/category/digital-art/">Get Creative</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/category/digital-art/">    Digital Art</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/speedart/">    SpeedArt Videos</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/dozombiestastelikebacon/">    Do Zombies taste like Bacon?</option><option value="#">Get  Involved</option><option value="http://forums.gamesleepcreate.com">    Forums</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/monster-moments-top-5-kills/">    Monster Moments Top 5 Kills</option><option value="#">Get Gaming</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/the-monster-live/">    LiveStream</option><option value="#">    Videos</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/pwnzone/">        The Pwnzone</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/playthroughs/">        Let’s Play: Full Game Playthrough’s</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/category/digital-art/">Get Creative</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/category/digital-art/">    Digital Art</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/speedart/">    SpeedArt Videos</option><option value="http://gamesleepcreate.com/dozombiestastelikebacon/">    Do Zombies taste like Bacon?</option></select>

If you do not own that site or rights to use that menu, then tell me now as this post will need the codes removing.
