READ THE READ ME BEFORE USING.
Puts the world views links at the top of the canvas on all pages. Logged in users get drop down menus for faster navigation. With site stats underneath.
DEMO: paddlefriend.com
Several people have submitted fixes for the previous issues. I'm posting the one that appears to work best. Supplied by Mike Vazco @ http://elggdev.com He also made it so the plugin can be extended by others.
Please check it in all browsers and report problems in the comments below.
Known Issues:

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
Cancel last question, please. I've got it :)
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 ?
nice one! thnx
*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.
need help with it though. when i click embed the canvas does not fade out like the rest of the page. it overlaps on the embed box. would be great if someone can help me out. 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;
@skotmiller,
THanks for responsing so quickly. However, that didn't work.
@skotmiller,
Correction. I just needed to reorder my vazco mainpage mod. Once I repositioned it, it worked fine. Thanks
Worked for me too. thanks.
I also got the error where the video stats aren't getting over 10. Someone know why?
(izap_videos)
@Simox
DId you also use kaltura before?
Yes I am only showing 10 videos on my page also, official bug?
hi love the plug in just have a small question, i am completely css illiterate can you tell me how to resize if possible? thanks
dis very old topic post & scotz gone far away, nobody left 2 answer quesn 4 nobody lolz sad ;- (
Wow, I forgot I even use this plugin, didn't know it had a css.
mi a amigo skotmiller maybe have left elgg forever 2 goto joomla sad loss;;;-)
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?
forget it
IE is known bad boy with CSS
@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.
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
@tunist... this is an old plug so may not work properly outta box ( I've not tried this personally) it can mostly be corrected by looking in to the files maybe it has menu.php or submenu.php which gives out the location of icons and url's... dig inside the plugin... if you are not that good in coding I believe there is another plugin for the same purpose... dnt rmbr the name exactly Bubu had one canvas menu (that is also old) Dhrup had one ( I donno if its still in community) do a search :)
HaPPy ElGGinG :)
DO GooD :)
thanks for the tip.. I'm sure I can figure the code out.. I just thought there would be an abundance of ready to go navbar plugins for elgg since navigation is such a fundamental aspect of the system!
I'll see what I can see!
@tunist:
More likely the links of this plugin, for example for videos, don't point to the main menu but the links used by these plugins have changed in the meantime and therefore you end on the mainpage as these links are no longer working.
As you can install a indefinite number of plugins on your Elgg site, it's kind of difficult to offer a plugin that provides a menu exactly for your needs. Instead you can easily adjust your very own menu for example with this plugin.
Assuming you are using Elgg 1.7.1 (at least 1.7) you can also use for example the plugin offered here:
http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/uddhavadasa/read/452811/header-menu-and-online-users
It's kind of a forge as the Canvas menu plugin is no longer maintained and quite similar. You only have to edit header_menu/views/default/header_menu/headermenu.php to adjust you menu entries.
