A more flexible toc()

Hello Community,
I wanted to have a navigation menu as a selectbox, what seems to be something quite practical for mobile sites (see e.g.
http://www.touchtech.co.nz/ and resize your browser to a narrow width). I found that all I have to is to write a simple alternative to li(), copy the toc() code and change only the call to li() to my alternative li(). I can include this definitions to a mobile template. But if some functionality of toc() might change in the future, the new toc() has to be adapted. That's currently a problem with xtoc(), as even xtoc28 doesn't regard the new "Hidden pages toc" setting. So what about adding an optional parameter to toc() which can be given an alternative li() function? So toc() could be changed to:
Code: Select all
function toc($start = NULL, $end = NULL, $li = 'li') {
...
return call_user_func($li, $ta, $start);
}
This is fully compatible to the current solution, but allows to call e.g. toc(1,1,'myli'). Another potential benefit: this might be helpful in disentangling li(), which is somewhat hard to read and understand.

Interesting idea, could have used it, when I had to split the toc over several divs. As it doesn't hurt, let's do it.

Hm, just checked again, I also used a variable ($category) just as in xtoc() to be passed to li(). Probably could also be done with your solution, like toc(1,1,'myli1'), toc(1,1,'myli2'), toc(1,1,'myli3')

I'm not sure -- I didn't dive into xtoc() yet (just seen, that it has a xnewsbox() which offers similar possibilities as the Also plugin and Coco_XH). But basically one can even use a single myli() with an additional parameter and call it like this:
Code: Select all
toc(1, 1, create_function('$ta,$st', 'return myli($ta, $st, \'arg1\');')
toc(1, 1, create_function('$ta,$st', 'return myli($ta, $st, \'arg2\');')

I have been playing a littel around with this.
I need a solution for a mobiletemplate that works in windowsphone.
It seems not to work

To have a navigation menu (aka. TOC) as a select box you can start with the following code. Put it in the file
cmsimple/userfuncs.php:
Code: Select all
<?php
/**
* Returns a navigation menu as select element.
*
* The navigation requires JavaScript to be enabled.
*
* The function is meant to passed as <var>$li</var> argument to toc().
* Currently, it supports only full menus, i.e.
* <code>toc(null, null, 'liSelect');</code>
*
* @param array $pages Array of page indexes for the menu.
* @param int $start A start level.
*
* @return (X)HTML.
*/
function liSelect($pages, $start)
{
global $sn, $h, $u, $l, $s;
$prefix = ' ';
$o = <<<HTM
<select class="tpl_selectnav" onchange="if (this.value) location = this.value">
HTM;
if ($s < 0) {
$o .= <<<HTM
<option value=""></option>
HTM;
}
foreach ($pages as $i) {
$indent = str_repeat($prefix, $l[$i] - 1);
$selected = $i == $s ? ' selected="selected"' : '';
$url = $sn . '?' . $u[$i];
$o .= <<<HTM
<option value="$url"$selected>{$indent}{$h[$i]}</option>
HTM;
}
$o .= <<<HTM
</select>
HTM;
return $o;
}
?>
Then you can use it in the template:
Code: Select all
<?php echo toc(null, null, 'liSelect');?>
You can style it with:
(as far as styling select elements is possible)
Note, that such select menus require JavaScript to be enabled.

That's possible. Enable the
debug mode -- that shoud give a helpful error message.

Try this.
Code: Select all
<?php
/**
* Returns a navigation menu as select element.
*
* The navigation requires JavaScript to be enabled.
*
* The function is meant to passed as <var>$li</var> argument to toc().
* Currently, it supports only full menus, i.e.
* <code>toc(null, null, 'liSelect');</code>
*
* @param array $pages Array of page indexes for the menu.
* @param int $start A start level.
*
* @return (X)HTML.

$prefix = ' ';
$o = '<<<HTM
<select class="tpl_selectnav" onchange="if (this.value) location = this.value">
HTM';
if ($s < 0) {
$o .= '<<<HTM

}
foreach ($pages as $i) {
$indent = str_repeat($prefix, $l[$i] - 1);
