Kryptronic Software Support Forum

1.  Clickcartpro > Displays: Skins, Menus, XHTML Includes and Messages > Manage Display Skins > Update (cloned skin)   On the "Update" part of the process, it suddenly changes from a Clickcartpro menu in the left column to Kryptronic.  Is there a reason for this because it throws me momentarily every time when I'm done updating and go back to the left column to navigate about.

Skin management is a function of the X Core.  The links in CCP over to manage skins are just quick links there to make it easier for you to navigate there when you're working with CCP.

2.  Is there a way to keep the hidden menus in the left hand column in the admin open.  They automatically shut, and it's driving me bonkers.  I realize this is to save space and allow for the new menu to pop up with whatever section I'm working in, but it doesn't allow my little brain to memorize where the items are I'm continually switching between.  It leaves me squinting an awful lot at that left hand column wondering where the heck I am now, and what menu I need to be in.  I know there is the recent actions area, but it changes so frequently (at least with me) I'd rather learn where the regular items on the menu are without them moving about all the time.

Yes.  Edit the     KHXC Management Interface Skin.  You will see a file available for editing in the /scripts directory called scripts.js.  At the bottom of the script remove the line (or comment it out):

addEvent(window,'load',hideBEMenus,false);

That will make the menus expanded on every page load by default.

You might want to hit reload.  Javascript and CSS is cached.

HOORAY!  Thanks Nick, that's exactly what I needed.

Not in this version - maybe later.  I'm not sure if the best way to do this is via Javascript or PHP.

That's cool.  Nice job Nick.

Nick,

The new menus with their fly out sub menus are also driving me a little nuts.  The javascript is different in the new admin, is there still a way to permanently open the navigation menus in the admin?

In the management interface, go to:

Home > Hybrid X Core > Displays: Skins, Menus, XHTML Includes and Messages > Manage XHTML Includes

And edit the include:

BackEnd Application Menu

There you'll want to change:

<div class="khxcbe_nav">

To not use the class 'khxcbe_nav'.  Change that to something else or just remove the class and you'll end up with a not-so-pretty but on-one-level menu.

I am changing how the menus work in the upcoming update so they only fly out two levels and use icons.  They will work much better in a couple of weeks for you.
