@corpodibacco
Thanks for your quick answer, and i’m sorry to hear that the previous comments got lost (but glad that you were nevertheless able to answer mine *g*).

Did i mentioned that the error occured testing on a local server (XAMPP working on winXP with WP 2.1) - if not, sorry.
After i read your answer above i set up WP on my webspace and voila everything is working fine (as you described it), even your cool plugin. :)

I don’t exactly know why WP works with an backslash on my local version. Maybe because the simple tagging plugin lays in a subfolder (and windows loves backslashes in its filesystem)?
With the “Admin Menu Drop Down Plugin from Ozh” which “inspired” Andy Staines to write the “Admin Drop Menus” i once had the same problems on my local system. Without any of this three plugins my local version works fine.

At least thanks for your help (as it works on my webspace) and again thanks for your plugin :)

This renders quite poorly in IE6, the rows seem to have gaps in between them. Is there anyway that you could make an IE6 friendly.

Also, when you are on the “Write Page” page the dropdown for “Manage” shows “Manage” as a list item and nothing else. The same occurs when on the “Page Management” page, the “Write” menu only lists “Write” as a list item and nothing else.

See it here: http://www.esnips.com/doc/da5ad7ca-7913-4b08-b845-539667dccda1/dropdown_error2
And here: http://www.esnips.com/doc/22d72e76-fb73-4eae-be2b-dbb56dbc7d71/dropdown_error1

Otherwise, an awesome plugin!

Ótimo plugin! Vale a pena instalar! Obrigado!

Attention - this plugin doesn’t work together with the plugin SUBSCRIBE2 !!
If you use both, the option menu of SUBSCRIBE2 is not to see; you need to disable “lighter admin drop”, before you can make any settings of SUBSCRIBE2!
Perhaps someone can work upon this bug?

Hey there!

Where can I download all the images that go to the /images/ directory?
Did you leave them out of the v.2.3 zip file on purpose?

Thanks.

Thanks..

When I activated the plugin it worked but the menus didn’t drop down, they dropped sideways. I’m using Safari.

I just wanted to say that there is a Problem with the Statspress Plugin that uses a second level ob Submenu and doesn’t get displayed by this Plugin.

Although I really love those Dropdowns I need to deactivate it to get to my StatPress Data.

Voy a installar un poco tu plugin. Me parece que esta lindo. Muchas gracias!

Lighter Admin Drop Menu doesn’t work together with the plugin Whoismanu PhotoQ a photoblog plugin. This plugin add an entry in Option menu and another one in manage menu.
When i activate Lighter Admin Drop Menu plugin, i can’t access to the manage PhotoQ page because it replace the normal link
http://mysiteURL/wp-admin/edit.php?page=whoismanu-photoq.php
by this one :
http://mysiteURL/wp-admin/admin.php?page=whoismanu-photoq.php
ie the same link as in the Option menu.
Can you resolve this bug in a new version ?

Thanks a lot for the plugin,
it makes me sooo fast, damned!
good job.

Nice plugin. Works great with firefox and WordPress 2.2.3.

Doesn’t work well in Safari Version 3.0.4 (5523.10.6; Mac OS X, Leopard)

Thanks canım benim

I found a bug of this plugin described as below:

when the first level menu is generated by a plugin in directory plugin rather than mu-plugin, the address should in the former of
wp-admin/admin.php?page=nextgen-gallery
rather than
http://mmblue.com/wp-admin/nextgen-gallery

But currently this plugin will generate the address in the later former.

I fixed this bug by replace the content

file_exists(ABSPATH . “wp-content/mu-plugins/{$item[2]}”)

with

file_exists(ABSPATH . “wp-content/mu-plugins/{$item[2]}”) ||
file_exists(ABSPATH . “wp-content/plugins/{$item[2]}”)

in file lighteradminmenus.php

hope it useful for you!

Hi,
just wanted to let you know that the lam.css of your plugin hides the tabs of the new upload dialog in WP 2.5. It’s an easy fix, just replace the line:

#sidemenu, #dashmenu {display:none}

with these:

#sidemenu, #dashmenu {display:none}
#media-upload-header #sidemenu {display:block}

Thanks for your plugin, very useful!

Hey, great plugin!, but I realized that it doesn’t seem to work nice if you change the color scheme of wordpress, I changed the css file to make it work, send me and e-mail and I will send you the file.

Here is a screenshot of the changes:
http://www.uno0uno.net/tonchi/imagenes/admin.jpg

Take care

Could you please consider to release no-icon version? for faster loading :)

csign, it’s weird ’cause “dashboard” should still be there. I only removed the redundant drop down menu below it, you can just click on it and it works normally. can you send me a screenshot of the menu without the link? To corpodibacco @ this domain. Thanks.

In 2.5.6 i found some Bugs. The Dashboard have no more Drop Down Menü and the color of the Link is not the same as the other Links. The Link Plugin have also not the same color.

Fix it, please!

thanks for plugin, perfect

Just noticed that if you are using role manager plugin there is a exceptionally long menu name that extends past your drop down menu boundaries. See here: http://i27.tinypic.com/ns2sj.jpg

Thanks
Karl

@karl, wait! I just figured this out… which makes it version 2.5.8 I guess. Of course IE7 does not follow but at this point I don’t care.

The options for the the different colors in V. 2.5.7 is perfect :) THanks…

Selam :D
elbetde bende wordpress kullanıyorum. woprdpress 2.5 in cıkması ile gelişen admin panelini çok beyendim ve herkezi wordpress kullanmaya davet ediyorum.

nice job, eveybody use it. :D

@Karl: I am not aware of this bug and I can’t reproduce it. Are you sure this is not caused by a conflict with some other plugin?

Worked beautifully!

Thanks for the effort.

@Chris Masse: I downloaded the plugin you mentioned. You probably refer to the yellow line not appearing next the name of the plugin. I have no idea why that is happening or what it means. It probably has to do with the plugin name having changed this last time around. Anyway I am quite sure this is not a bug of my plugin and it does not depends on how my plugin is made.

Great plug-in! I was using another similar plug-in but I like this one better!

@nakp: unfortunately at the moment I have no workaound for this problem but I am aware of it and looking into it. Check for future updates–

@Callum: hey, my plugin does that too. You can see it in the screenshots on this page. Isn’t this feature working for you? If you already haven’t, try to unapprove a comment to test it out.

@Callum: it had that feature since version 2.5. Anyway, as far as I know, Wordpress does hide the count of the awaiting comments when they’re zero. They created a style called count-0 just to apply the display:none rule to it, which I simply imitate…

@Callum: if you want to always display the count of comments to moderate, just find the count-0 class in my css and comment out the display:none line. If there is request, I might make this an option in the future. About the look of the baloon, I don’t know what to say… sorry you don’t like it :)

The latest version doesn’t work in my admin panel… There are the main links but no drop down menues. The source code told me:

Dashboardblah class=’lmsidemenu’blahblahblahblahblah class=’lmsidemenu’blah class=’topcurrent’blah class=’lmsidemenu’blah Dashboard

It seems there’s something wrong ^^

@Shobba, you are damn right. It’s a leftover of some testing I did long ago. Question 1: how did I forget this “blah” around? Question 2: how it didn’t cause bigger visible problems? Question 3: How much do I owe you for discovering this?? :)
Thanks, man. I mean, I thought I had closed the bugfixing here. Never say ever. 2.6.9 is out.

Hehe, I also often use “blah” for bugfixing and testing :) Hey, you mentioned my name in your Log, that’s cool ;)

Well, I said 2.6.1 is the last one which works well for me, 2.6.5 is the first one I can’t use.
I tried 2.6.9, but there’s no different result… now the source code looks like (hm, how can I post html code… Well, let’s post a picture ^^)
http://web8.charlie316.server4you.de/code.gif

so, there is..
ul id = “dashmenu”
li class=’lm_toplevel’ main-link
ul
li class=’lm_sublevel’ sub-link /li
li class=’lm_sublevel’ sub-link /li
/ul
/li
/ul

is that code right?

http://blog.bull3t.me.uk/projects/ajax-post-save/

deactivated this and your plugin works fine ;) Thank you very much :)

Hi,

Great widget, easier … :D
But … sorry, don’t work with Gengo ->
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gengo/
Message: “Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_currentuserinfo()”
Unfortunately, I can’t change. Tips -> http://wp-multilingual.net/2006/12/10/compatibility/en/
Maybe, you have desire to solve this small shortcoming ;) :D hihi.

Thankfully

The plugin adds a default icon to pages created through plugins, but not to new pages created by directly editing the $menu and $submenu variables. I use this to create a new menu “Drafts” under Manage. I think adding an additional “default :” case to the swich() statement should do the trick. I’m happy to whip up a patch and submit it if you like. It would also have the advantage of future-proofing the plugin in that any new menus would automatically get the default icon. :)

Hey callum, unfortunately from where I am now it can be difficult to fix bugs… but of course the things you write make sense! I’ll try the effects of the “default” case as soon as I have time for it… can you just tell me, to speed the process(so I don’t have to figure it out by myself :)), how do you edit directly those variables? Have you created a small plugin for yourself or modified the wordpress files? And how?

About the feed validation, I don’t know what the problem could be, I’ll try to look into it but again, I might not be able to fix it from here… sorry about it! :)

(I posted this at the forums, I thought I’d post it here as well to see if you could help)

I was attempting to follow this forum advice piece to set up “current mood”, “currently reading”, “current music”, etc fields to go at the end of posts. I followed the directions on the Using Custom Fields codex, went to the Write page, added a new value in the current field and the dropdown menus suddenly stopped working. The links turned blue, there is no drop down menu on rollover, and only links available are the primary menu (Dashboard, Write, Mangage, etc).

I have no idea where to even start looking for the problem. I’ve browsed through the code for hours last night and this morning and can’t find the problem. I deactivated the plugin, reactivated–same problem. I deleted the plugin and reinstalled–same problem. I read through the lightermenu.php and it looks normal, I can’t see any changes from the original file.

In frustration, I did install Ozh’s Admin Drop Down menus; it works fine. I’d like to be able to fix the problem and know how to prevent it in the first place.

I did notice, when I had both Ozh and lightermenu installed, that I now don’t have an “settings” page to edit as well.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Julia, question: did the problem you mentioned happened when OZh’s plugin and mine were installed at the same time? Cause they shouldn’t be, you know. They would certainly conflict.

Hello,

a very useful plug-and I found it very handy, WP-Admin to each option will take them. The plug, I have just my article in my blog directory and successfully.

The plugin works with WordPress 2.5.1 without further problems, at least now I could see nothing negative.

Regards ..

Love this plugin. Thanks a lot. Saves a lot of irritation with old design.

Since you are very good a UI design could you look at taking a stab at a redo of the posting window. I hate the current design. Was much more compact and useful in old version.

Here is want I would like:
>Dragable elements for tags, excertps etc for vetical position
>more categories back to right column. I don’t want a scroll field, I need to see all categories in a compact list so I can check off items.
> condense everything vertically. Seems present design for 24 in screen. I work on a laptop with 15.5 in diagonal.
>Those ajaxy pops up have to go. They take up the whole screen for no good reason. Very difficult to work on laptop.

What do you say? Laptop users of the world are waiting for a solution.

hi there,
I jsut upgraded my wpmu isntall from 1.3 to 1.5.1 and activated your plugin for testing. all works fine, except if I go to the themes page !? then the menu disappears, and the page looks scrambled.
anyone else experiencing this?

also another plugin breaks using wpmu with your plugin: Admin Management Xtended from: http://www.schloebe.de/ could you maybe look into this?

thanks

Thanks for your great work, I have been fixed it on my admin-site , but there is somnething wrong with IE6, I can’t click other links except the head.

I see that this plugins makes some replacement of the regular menus rather than simply use a CSS style.

Will this plugin compatible with the upcoming WP 2.6?

Awesome plugin. It improves the interface so much!

When you get time to work on a next version of the plugin, would you consider adding an option to hide the “Please Upgrade Now” notices that plaster themselves all over the admin panel when a new WP version is released?

Hi. I tried this on the recommendation of a friend. I today updated to WP 2.6, and I noticed that this does not work easily. When I activate, the menutop bar changes, but becomes static. There is no drop downs. What am I missing? When I disable this and delte completely its folder, and then enable Ozh Dropdown Menu, that one works, but yours doesn’t. Please help? I like the look of your menu better. Thanks! (Pls also email me when your reply thank you)

There is a little bug with the new Press This feature of Wordpress 2.6. I can’t switch to another tab like “Photo” while your plugin is enabled because the following error occurs: “Error: jQuery(”#lm”).css(”width”) is undefined”. I think it would be just fine to disable the plugin completly for press-this.php as there are no menus anyway. ;)

@Neil: you’re right, the Turbo link is missing.. Anyway, it will show up when you decide to display the Help and Forums links from the Lighter Menus option page. Since, if I understand it correctly, the Turbo link is used once to install a feature and then it is very little used, maybe it won’t be a big problem to leave the things like they are for the time being? I have really little time to work on it right now… :)

Thanksss

Thanks, it saves a lot of time.

This is a great plugin! I’m using it with Opera 9.50 and it’s working beautifully. I’ve even checked this out with Opera Mobile and NetFront Browser for the Windows Mobile platforms, and everything is smooth as silk.

Thanks for making this available! :)

Thaks…

Thanks.

Lighter Menus is an absolute godsend. I was quite frustrated when I upgraded WordPress to version 2.6 to find all that wasted space in the new admin interface. You’ve made using WordPress enjoyable again! Keep up the good work!

Your site’s theme is pretty cool, too.

thanks

Thanks

This is really a great plugin but I miss, just like phattranc, the function like in WordPress Admin Bar to have it on my homepage while I’m surfing on it.

Would make it pretty perfect and replace the Admin-Bar-Plugin for me, ’cause I like your design more. ;)

Would be great to hear something (could you send me a mail?)

Great plugin! I looked at several plugins and yours is the best.

I’ve run into a couple problems with it, though.

1. If there are too many top-level menu options, they overlap in the middle. This only seems to happen in IE7, although it works best on Safari and Opera.

2. If the maximum number of items in a menu is exceeded, it’s supposed to display the options in horizontal lists. This doesn’t work properly in any of the 4 main browsers.
- In IE7 and Safari, the lists exceed the right border of the window preventing you from being able to click on some of the options.
- Opera gets this partially right and displays the menu within the browser window if it is far enough to the left. Otherwise it behaves like IE7 and Safari.
- FF2 seems to ignore this option.

I’ve posted this info on my plugin evaluation page at http://dpotter.net/technical/index.php/wordpress-upgrades and decided you might want to hear about it directly :-).

Have you seen these? None of them are show-stoppers by any means, just small annoyances.

Thanks,
David

great, really nice theme I will use this kinda stuff

Hi author!

I love this plugin!! it is the best admin drop down menu ever!!

Not working in IE6… too bad

hi!

your plugin is super great. but i also had problems with gengo, i deactivate all the plugins and when i turn on the Gengo and Lighter Menus the Gengo stop worked and all the website site turned blank screens…

great work!

Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful plugin. Works very well in WordPress and WordPress Multi-User (WPMU) installs so far. Concerned with the 2.7 version with main navigation on left column - I hope it will work then as well :-)
Peace.

Two things –

1) What is the difference between this and Ozh’s plugin? You say this is based on that, but don’t say what you changed or added.

2) Does your plugin support the Ozh-style menu icons? If it doesn’t, it probably should. I would recommend using the same hook as he does, so plugin developers can add one icon and it will work with both plugins.

thank you..

free thenkss

tenkss you
