Collapso & Images

[PaulGrimshaw]

Hi Normam (or someone else!),

I am trying to modify the collapso js so that instead of the +/- images that are to the left of the text, it displays the appropriete section image instead. I have added 'NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONIMAGE' in the correct place, but it isnt working.

Is this possible to do, or can netquotevar's not get picked up inside js, or maybe as its in not in a section when its building the menu, it doesnt know what I am looking for?

Thanks,
Paul.

Hi - Answered my own question. I am using the sImage variable for it. Will post a copy of my changes later in this post if anyone is searching for this.

That's way beyond what Collapso was designed to do but isn't impossible. However if you want to have a go yourself then:

anywhere you see something like

ar[i+1].sName

then

ar[i+1].sImage will contain the associated Section Image filename

so (as a quick test) replacing all

ar[i+1].sName

with

'<img src="' + ar[i+1].sImage + '>' + ar[i+1].sName

may well work (for the top-level only)

Best test using Firefox and turn on its Tools / JavaScript Console.

PS The size of the sction images is also found in ar[i+1].nImageWidth and ar[i+1].nImageHeight

Norman,

Thanks for your reply - you beat me to it. for your info, what I have added is this (just after the "if (ar[i+1].pChild)" line in the main function).

//Show section logo to left of text (if logo exists)
if (ar[i+1].sImage != ""){
topwithchildclosed = '<img src="' + ar[i+1].sImage +'" border="">';
topwithchildopen = '<img src="' + ar[i+1].sImage +'" border="">';
}
else
{
topwithchildclosed = '';
topwithchildopen = '';
}

I am not sure if it works too well, the text doesnt centre with the logo, so presumably I would have to add tables etc and that does seem like a lot of work!!

incidently, where do you find the list of variables that are passed by yahoo sections? I couldnt find them anywhere and just took a gamble on the sImage variable name.

Thanks for all your help (nearly there!),

Paul.

Look in the generated Act_section_tree.js in Site1. That's what's created and loaded by NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONTREERAW.
