pictures in dropmenu ?

Hi !
I’d like to have pictures ( logos ) just before the links of the dropmenu, i’m thinking about creating a new template variable in which i’ll enter the link to the picture for all the documents
but do you know how to modify the dropmenu snippet to add a t.v. the between the <li> and </li> tags

thanks

// $pre [ string ]
// Text to append before links inside of LIs
$pre = (!isset($pre)) ? ’’ : "$pre";

// $post [ string ]
// Text to append after links inside of LIs
$post = (!isset($post)) ? ’’ : "$post";

This might work, store the path to the image in the document’s description field, then use something like this:

&pre=`

i tried but the dropmenu returns me the description of the current page, not the description of the target page ...

thx

I’ve done something similar using Invision Power Board and its variables.

<img src="MODXVARIABLE.gif" alt="" />


Try putting an image extension onto what sottwell posted

yes i know, but for example
i’m on the page 1, which has a dropmenu linking to pages 2 and 3

the problem i have is that it is the variable of the page 1 that is displayed in the menu and not the variables of pages 2 nor 3

Yes, I see the problem. Here is one solution, hacking the DropMenu snippet:

In five places replace the $pre with the following:



(the .’ - ’ part is just to make a space of some kind, put whatever you like)

In my copy, it was lines 135, 236, 244, 245, 251.

I am sure that there is a way to pass someting in via the &pre= option, maybe using variable variables, but I wasn’t able to figure it out.

You should probably rename this hacked version of the snippet so it doesn’t get mixed up with regular menus.

thank you i’m gonna try
