Potential css adjustment for admin suckerfish menu in safari or chrome

**blackhawk** · 12-03-2010, 01:35 PM

Not sure if this happening to other folks, but when I log into the admin of oscmax 2.5 with safari or chrome, you will see that the top suckerfish menu as a gap issue when you rollover any of the top links. It's not a bug, but just needs css adjustment. So I adjusted the issue by modifying the following styles in the admin folder...

Code:

.sf-menu li.sfHover ul {
	left:			0;
	top:			1.6em; /* match top ul list item height */
	z-index:		99;
}

and...

Code:

/*** DEMO SKIN ***/
.sf-menu {
	float:			left;
	margin-bottom:	0em;
}

Hope this helps someone

Thanks Blackhawk,

Not tested this out - but could you commit to the bug tracker and I will update the source.

Thanks,

PG I found out why I was not getting the super fish menu to work on my end after downloading oscmax 2.5, which relates to this post and several others I wrote last week. It's because the jquery links in the <head>, in the admin, are being referenced from live sites. I didn't realize that when I was trying to play with oscmax 2.5 locally offline.

It's not a big deal but it may save some people confusion if we can possibily package the jquery files locally (zipped) when folks want to play with the application offline?

Yes - we use the google CDN technology to lower the load on people's servers but this does mean that when you are offline the jQuery will not load ... perhaps a admin switch to allow the use of local files might be in order.

You can put a feature request into the BugTracker but I suspect it might not make it into v2.5!

Regarding jquery...
Of course, if you use a development subdomain on your server and don't build locally, then this issue is a non-event.

I think it is fair to require web access for a web application. We will not be packaging jquery with the production version of osCmax. However, for the production release, we should consider including a graceful failure to warn users that they don't have internet access, and it is required for the menu system to work. We will also update the documentation to include a live internet connection as a requirement to run osCmax.
