Wanna know how to create a menu like this:
for your co-branded pages?
Below is the bare-bones code that gets the job done. Copy and paste it in your co-branding settings. I recommend you back up the old contents as a text file some where on your computer just to be on the safe side.
- The code is dependent on fotki.com's CSS stylesheets. If fotki.com decides to change them, this code may need to be updated.
- This code will produce a single-row menu, not the double-row menu that you see on my website. The double-row menu requires more customization which is beyond the scope that I want to cover here.
- Don't forget to change username to your fotki user name in the menu structure definition.
- The code references an external JavaScript file stored on my website: http://raphaelpungin.com/tab_menu.js. In order not to depend on my website I recommend to upload the file to your own webserver and reference it there.

However, for the time being I went back to the way it was cause my co-branded page needs alot of work and I am not ready to direct people there from standard Fotki pages... Your co-branded is awesome... Thanks for all you help... I saved the info for future use when I'm ready... Gary

Reply>>>www.GaryGS1.com>>> Travels & Times wrote: Monday, December 5, 2005 9:49 PM Hi Raphael!!! I was just doing some testing on one of my other sites (I have several / business and family) I installed the tabs here: http://welcome.crawlspacecorrections.fotki.com/
to play around with it. I uploaded the tab menu to my www.GaryGS1.com like you said and I am feeding off of that not yours. I customized the tabs to CrawlSpace Corrections, LLC and added the tab Journals... I understand how it works now... Thankyou very much...
PS I tried to add a mailto:GaryGS1@yahoo.com">GaryGS1@yahoo.com tab but it doesn't work, in fact it screws everyting up '-) so I took the html out for now...
My other site is http://public.fotki.com/SchemppFamily/ but I am not there too much,,, I started it for my family around the world but seems like they are not interested and it's alot of work to maintain.
My sons site (I gave it to him for a Christmas present last year is: http://www.garygschemppphotography.com/ and we set it up to be linked to his Fotki account (which was part of the present) He is a photographer in Philadelphia.
Well, I just had some leftovers and two glasses of my homemade Merlot (I made 100 gallons this year) and so I am ready to hit the hay!!!
Thanks Raphael for your friendship, support and guidence!!! Gary
ReplyRaphael Pungin wrote: Monday, December 5, 2005 10:29 PM Ok, good job Gary. I noticed that the tabs are not highlighting on your page. That's because you're mixing upper case and lower case letters in your URLs. I changed my copy of tab_menu.js to ignore case, so get a new copy and the tabs will highlight. But a rule of thumb is that URLs should be always in lower case.

WOW!!! This is Cooooooooooooool!!! Thanks Again!!! Gary
How difficult is it to get the second row of tabs '-) I am out of space already '-( Gary
PS,,, if you would rather not get into it for now that's fine... I can manage!!! '-) Ur awesome!!!
ReplyRaphael Pungin wrote: Monday, December 5, 2005 11:22 PM The difficulty is that it is not just a second row of tabs. The second row of tabs is determined by which tab is selected in the first row. I don't have an easy way for you to customize it. So try to stick with one row for now. You don't have to put every single link on the tab. You can just have a links page which links to other pags.

ReplyRaphael Pungin wrote: Monday, December 5, 2005 10:36 PM Adding mailto: link to a tab is not probably a good idea since the tabs are ment to display a page, not launch a mail client. Just have a "Contact Us" page and put the mailto: link as part of the page body. Or you may want to put it in the Welcome page....

ReplyRaphael Pungin wrote: Monday, December 5, 2005 11:15 PM By the way, if you want black theme, put this on the next line after the line that has ...styles4.css... in it (leave the original line as it is):
<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=http://images.fotki.com/css/cobranding/classic_black.css >

If you read what it says on top of this page:
http://raphaelpungin.com/fotki/tabs_cobranding_code.html
it clearly says where to paste it. By the way, if you're not familiar with HTML, co-branding is not for you.
