Nice update, thanks!!

How did you set up number of recent users on the bottom menu? I know it's not canva-menu related. By default it set up as 10. I need to set up 22. Is it possible?

Thanks

Thanks for this plugin !
I was looking for a way to view the members page while a simple visitor too, so i decided to read yours. Actually you helped me find a better hack : juste replace the line 20 in /mod/members/index.php by

set_page_owner($_SESSION['guid']);

which is the correct way to set the page owner, just like other plugins do...
Maybe this is just a remnant of v1.2 ?

*peeks at code*

Hrm. Same stats code as my version of this still... Does anyone else have the problem that it always shows up as 10 videos in the stats under the menu? I have at least 30 videos and it's never ticked past 10. Using izap_videos, but (and this might be critical), I also used kaltura at one stage before I decided I preferred izap_videos.

Absolutely great work thanks.

I noticed the same issue as Abdullahi and have not been able to figure it out. I would echo his plea for someones assistance. This problem rendors the 'embedd media' functionality useless.

Add this at line 254 of the css.php

z-index: 0;

You'll have this:

ul#nav{

margin: 0 auto;

z-index: 0;

}

Hope that helps.

@skotmiller,

Correction. I just needed to reorder my vazco mainpage mod. Once I repositioned it, it worked fine. Thanks

The canvas menu works fine with Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. Only with IE (ver.8) the dropdown menus don't show. I can't test it with IE 6 or 7. Could anyone please help me with this issue? Are there any css settings to change?

@anyone

I am trying to get this canvas menu to use internationalization but I'm having a little trouble with my php syntax I think.

<li><a href='" . $vars['url'] . "pg/expages/read/Terms/' > <php echo elgg_echo ('canvasmenu:terms')> </a></li>

Is what I've got but the result in the menu shows the entire <php echo elgg_echo ('canvasmenu:terms')> not just the output of 'canvasmenu:terms'.

Any hints?

I have found that the video, top users, questions and some other nav links produced by this plugin are pointing to the site's main index page instead of to the relevant/correct destination.

Any idea why this is?

thanks
