WordPress Dropdown Menu Plugin Version 2.1 Beta
We’re back into Beta mode with the plugin. I’ve added support for Superfish style animated dropdowns. You can control the speed, mouseover time delay and mouseout time delays of the dropdown via the WordPress options page.
Demo
The new demo is very pretty, I hope you like it … live demonstration.

If you find any bugs or would like additional functionality, please leave a comment below and I’ll try to correct them before releasing it into the official WordPress plugins repository.

Thanks to Joel Birch for developing the original Superfish dropdown script which is used to control the new functionality in this plugin, BigAlReturns for help with the pages/categories exclusion feature and Mark Gooding for developing a new version of the plugin with features which were later added to this plugin.

Hi Ryan,
I’m trying to download the beta plugin. Is the download broken? It keeps telling me “decompression failed”.
Thanks.

Thanks Nicole. I’ve had a few people point that out. It doesn’t seem to have any effect on how the dropdown renders so I hadn’t bothered fixing it. But I will have a look at it now that so many people (three so far I think) have pointed it out.

Hi Ryan,
I got a strange error from Firebug (Firefox) tonight that read
zfalse is not defined
(no name)()superfish_style.p… (line 12)
trigger(Object type=mouseover target=a currentTarget=li.page_item)jquery-1.2.3.min…. (line 27)
unique()jquery-1.2.3.min…. (line 26)
[Break on this error] $(”ul”, this).bgIframe({opacity:zfalse});
Just thought I’d toss it out there incase it helps debugging future releases.

Jardry - Yep, that is definitely a feature which can be added. If you need that feature in a hurry, then get in touch via my Contact Form for a quote. Otherwise I’ll try to implement that feature as an option at a later date - probably within the next eight weeks.

Hi Ryan,
Great plugin.
One thing that I do miss from the old “categories” and “archives” widget is the number of posts within each category or archive.
Could you code be enhanced to include the number of posts in each category or archive.

Hmmm, do you think I should try a different zipping method next time? I just used the default settings in WinRar to zip it up.

oh, forget about that one!turned out to be that shitty windows-ziphandler that did not open it. winRar works fine…

mh…is the link or the file broken?
everytime the download finishes successfully i can’t open the zip-archive (says it’s damaged).

I’ve uploaded a new version of the beta plugin which fixes a bug pointed out by Karim. The old version did not allow the custom menu to be used on anything but the first menu item. This has been extended to all of them now.
Please be aware that you can’t use the custom code in more than menu item at the same time or you will end up with two parts of your menu identical.

Daniel - There is no need to do any coding to use the Beta version. Just copy it on top of your existing plugin and it will automatically work, you don’t even need to deactivate the old one.
I can see the following in your HTML:
<ul id="suckerfishnav"></ul>It presumably looks something like the following in your header.php file:
<ul id="suckerfishnav"><?php suckerfish3(); ?></ul>Remove that and the old menu should be gone.
