Trying to get this to work

Hi all,

Im trying to get this to work, has anyone got any ideas?  The bottom works fine (standard) but when I add it at the top it won't work ?

Can anyone help me?

Your post is very vague. You moved the messenger to the upper menu and it won't work right?

Try clearing your cache in your server and browser....

No the staus message is still at the bottom left, I made a new block for the top copied all the details (like for like) and it doesn't work the same

You will not get it to work in the top menu. The code is not there for it.

That status message item has a hidden div which pops up with a mouse click. There are also javascript mouseover and mouseout events.

The fact that javascript is not in your top menu item is the reason it will not work. To put that in the top menu will require the code that generates the menu be rewritten to include all the missing javascript and hidden div that makes that status update gadget to work.

@deano - Since you mentioned popups in the bottom member menu, can you share how to add balloons on mouseover to items I've added to that menu?  Thought I'd post this question here rather than start a new thread.  Would be much appreciated.

I don't really know how to do it myself. I have never tried.

I just know they are there because the javascript mouseover and mouseout calls in the code is easily seen with firebug.

@deano - Thanks for the tip on mouseover in Firebug.  I figured this one out and thought I'd pass it along.  Seen a post on how to add items to the bottom member menu but none on how to get the balloons to appear.  Here's the deal.

Mouseover requires a membermenu.show_description.  I checked sys_menu_member in PhpMyAdmin and saw that there were no descriptions for the items I'd added (last field on the right).  The ones with balloons had them.  Following that form I first added language keys, and set them with the text I wanted to display.   You then have to recompile the language.  I added those keys to the Descriptions field for the new items.  Finally you have to manually clear cache in file manager.  I had first relied on the "Clean Cache" function in Admin, but it doesn't clear the file controlling this.  End result: beautiful balloons!  What a difference!!
