Blog Has Moved

Tuesday, July 28, 2009

Since migrating my site to Drupal I now no longer use Blogger and hence my blog has moved here.

Video Tutorials

Sunday, February 15, 2009

Recently it has been getting increasingly challenging to keep up with the great emails that you all send me (questions, comments, feature requests & thanks). And it will surely not get any easier in the days ahead. My wife and I are expecting our first born (Hannah Lynn Jaeger) this June! Also we are in the midst of purchasing a "fixer-upper", where I will experience the thrills of being my own maintenance man ;).

So I have decided to create a series of video tutorials to help answer some common questions and show the basics of how to use my scripts. I have started this weekend by making two videos showing the basics of setting up and using MenuMatic. I plan to also add videos showing some advanced MenuMatic techniques, as well as video tutorials for MooScroll and MooColumns as well.

There is also a distinct possibility that I may set up a forum since there are many knowledgeable users of MenuMatic, MooScroll, and MooColumns. And it is always healthier to have an interactive community for these kinds of things rather than a one-man-band.

I still fully welcome all emails.. just be understanding if I don't respond right away :)

And don't worry, I am still actively developing MenuMatic and MooScroll and will probably release an updated MenuMatic next weekend!

Thank you Jason,

This is much appreciated for those like myself who are design-savvy, but complete neophytes when it comes to solid code...

Good luck on your little one!

Heya Jason,

I've just checked out your tutorial on the MenuMatic 0.68.3 drop down menu, and i was wondering, can i make the submenu appear onClick instead of onMouseOver?

Thanks :)

Wicked nav. Had a couple of questions... was wondering if there was any way to make the nav close upon click. Here's what I'm rocking so far: http://nicolaswill.com/

Thanks numb3r! Adding the following should give you what you are looking for:

var myMenu = new MenuMatic({
orientation:'vertical',
onInit_complete:function(){
$$('#nav a', '#subMenusContainer a').addEvent('click',function(e){
myMenu.hideAllSubMenusNow();
}) ;
}
});

Hi EVo,
I don't see why not. If you were to go through the MenuMatic source code and replace the mouseenter events with click events, that should give you what you are looking for.

Hi Jason,

Should I just be adding:


var myMenu = new MenuMatic({
orientation:'vertical',
onInit_complete:function(){
$$('#nav a', '#subMenusContainer a').addEvent('click',function(e){
myMenu.hideAllSubMenusNow();
}) ;
}
});

To my mootools js?

hi numb3r,

You currently have in your html:
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
var myMenu = new MenuMatic({ orientation:'vertical' });
});

You would just need to add a comma after 'vertical' and then paste:
onInit_complete:function(){
$$('#nav a', '#subMenusContainer a').addEvent('click',function(e){
myMenu.hideAllSubMenusNow();
}) ;
}
