[Xerte-dev] menu.rlm

[Ron Mitchell]

Hi all

I'd previously seen someone creating an LO using one of the menu options
rather than linear and the buttons were overlapping when the number of items
required 2 columns. At the time I'd put that down to them having long page
titles but I've been working on an LO requiring at least two columns myself
and it seems there is/was an error in the code. In the makeMenu script it
has/had...

 

//get menuItem width

if (numItems < 13){

  itemWidth = 350;

} else if (numItems < 26){

  itemWidth = 300;

} else {

  itemWidth = 245;

}

 

With more than 16 items the 1st and second column buttons overlap regardless
of page title size.

I've changed this as follows and tested with 2 columns and 3 columns:

 

if (numItems < 17){

  itemWidth = 350;

} else if (numItems > 16 & numItems < 33){

  itemWidth = 240;

} else if (numItems > 32){

  itemWidth = 240;

}

 

Actually as you'll see the size of the button doesn't need to change between
2 columns and 3 columns but I left the 3 options in just in case there might
be a future reason to change for 3 columns.

 

I could commit this but just wondering how any changes now get reflected in
the changes Jonathan is making?
