Clicking save button gives error page

Hi Felix,

Hope we can sort this, it’s quite a new plugin so there will be teething problems I’ve done quite a bit of testing myself and haven’t run across this issue, hopefully it’s nothing too serious.

– What is the URL in the address bar when it says forbidden?
– Do you mean the Save button in the Mega Menu settings? (On the Appearance > Menu’s page)
– If you go to Appearance > Menu Themes and click ‘Save’ do you also get the forbidden message?
– Can you try disabling all your other plugins?

Hi Tom

Formidable! Quick service! Great!

URL= https://xampp/myblog/wp-admin/%3C? echo admin_url(‘admin-post.php’); ?>

Save Changes in Appearance >>Menu Themes>>Editing Theme
All other panels work fine(Mega Menu Settings and the Mega Menu Options, both in core menu screen)

I’ve disabled all other plugins, but still same problem.

Maybe you might be able to find some clue. Thanks again for your quick reply.

Hi Felix,

Ah, I think I see it. I’ve used a short PHP tag (<? instead of <?php).

I’ve just fixed this and released 1.0.1 – could you update and see if it fixes the problem?

I haven’t had any feedback so far on the plugin itself, so as far as I know it doesn’t work for anyone but me at the moment(!) It would be great if you could let me know how you’re finding it so far, or a review would be even better ??

Hi Tom,
I’ve installed the new version and HURRAH, you did the job! Now tomorrow I’ll go on testing all the features and hopefully without any problem. And of course if it does what I want it should do(!) or some feature’s missing, you’ll hear from me. And then I’ll write a nice review!
Thank you for helping me out so quickly! I sure do appreciate!
Felix.

Hey Felix, how did you get on?

Hi Tom,
Here I am. I’m testing the plugin with the “click” mode and the “mega panel”. Have included a widget. Great. Clever!
First thing I encountered was the “LESS” script, new for me.
It’s not quite clear how to get this copy in the theme folder working instead of the loaded original. I need your helping hand here.

Besides the styling problem in a direct way in the document itself, I would recommend to show a few more styling options in the “general settings” panel (Menu Theme from appearance). In the section “Mega Panel” it would be easier to manage styles showing options for border, border radius, box shadow and a triangle to adhere to the box that could be scaled(the triangle).

Furthermore, I was missing a slideDown effect of the box on clicking. I have put the milliseconds myself in the js file, but then updating it was of course gone.

Look here, a quite long list, I bet you didn’t expect that!

One conflict with other plugin. It’s the handy “Category Posts in Custom Menu” by Diane Koenraadt, maybe something to incorporate in your plugin later on. I don’t really need it.
Well, all said, nice evening!
Felix.

Hi Felix,

Thanks for the feedback!

I’ve just released v1.1 with the following:

– Fade/Slide effects
– Theme settings for panel border and border radius

To get a box shadow, please add this into the custom SCSS section on the theme (just below /** add your custom styles here **/

> li.mega-menu-megamenu > ul.mega-sub-menu {
        @include box-shadow(0px 3px 6px 2px #ccc);
    }

(I would avoid copying the megamenu.scss file to your own theme folder right now, it’s likely there will be updates going into the core version for a while yet, so I would wait until things slow down a bit – just add any custom CSS/SCCS into the custom CSS area of the theme)

With the triangles, do you mean a small triangle that points down from the menu bar when a panel is open? If so I’ll need to find out a nice way to do that, I want to avoid adding css hacks if possible, but I’ll add it to the list ??

Regards
Tom

Forgot to add, I’ll check out that “Category Posts in Custom Menu” plugin, I think it might use the same method of dynamically adding items to the menu which might be the issue.

Ah, I see the problem.. basically I’m afraid it’s never going to work with Mega Menu. The Menu System is quite hard to modify (usually stuff in WordPress is quite simple to change, but the menu system is a different beast) so until that changes you’ll probably find most plugins that modify the menu in a similar way won’t be compatible.

If you’re using Mega Panels (not mega flyouts) you should be able to find a widget to add to a panel which lists out the posts for a category.

Hi Tom,
I was really surprised receiving your answer so fast. I’ll install the new update now. Tomorrow I’ll send you my ‘report’.
Thank you for all the features you’ve added, they’re certainly very usefull to me and most likely to many other users.
Felix

Hi,
I too forgot something! About the triangle. It is something like you see scrolling this page up and look to the buttonlink that says support. Just to give you an idea.
Felix

Whenever I try to enable mega menu by clicking save on the menus screen I get a blank page. And it won’t save the setting.

Hi Akilez1,

Sorry to hear you’re having problems.

– What is the URL in the address bar when you see the blank page?

– Do you have access to your server error logs? (If you have cPanel for your hosting you can find them under visitor stats > error log)

Tom

Hi Tom,
I noticed that you’ve changed the name of the plugin. Short and powerful I think.

But… don’t take away its powers!
Since version 1.2 I encountered two bugs (Mega Panel).
Your JS clean up brought:
1. missing toggle functionality (clicking 2nd time on same link does not making slide up the panel)
2. “configure panel widgets for…”: inserting a larger widget, clicking the mouse button on the scroll bar to the right, makes the widget close and adhere toe the cursor as a draggable object. So you cannot save the widget. Scrolling with the mouswheel works.(try with Image Widget).

I’m missing an icon, font or image folder inside the plugin folder. Where can I upload my own icons or images as the ones in your plugin are too small.

In the plugin’s style sheet I found a rule: li.mega-menu-item {float: left;} which makes all items in the widgets float to the left side. I tried to neutralize float: none; in the custom editor, but didn’t work. Styling the widget should be easier.

More about the widget panel in the color box screen later.

I hope you will bring back the toggle function a.s.p. I’ll use it with much pleasure on my smartphone.

After restoring the bugs, please DON’T TOUCH THE JS FILE FORE A WHILE…….. ??
Felix

Hi Felix,

I’ll take at those bugs soon and get back to you.

Regarding the icons, there’s no way to do that at the moment. It’s new at the moment so there are bugs to iron out, once it’s stable I will begin adding more features.

Regards,
Tom.
