B All discussion forums ALL . N Read new articles NEW E Return to main menu The above is the interface of the Fudanquan Classified Discussion Forum. Did you find anything different? The menu items and the background are integrated. This is the extended menu usage I will talk about below. Maybe you have to ask, can't this be done without using the so-called extended menu method? I tell you, it really can't be done. Not bad. You can add the ansi control character to the display label in the menu item to display a colorful menu. Fudanquan main menu But because the ansi code itself takes up space, it is impossible for the code to exist in the background at this location. Use absolute Positioning is also not possible. The direct consequence of this is that there must be a certain distance between the menu and the background, which is blank and impossible. They are connected together. See the main menu of Fudan Spring and the main menu of Huizhou Mingyue Bay. To introduce the extended menu method, we must first talk about the precise meaning of the menu item statement. Look at the statement. !M EGROUP 10, 5, 0, "EGroup", "E Category Discussion Forum" What the system does is it actually positions the cursor at 10,5 and displays E minutes from the next position here. Class discussion area and in the actual interface process, there will be a ">" as a selection mark at this 10 5 position Therefore, when the string in the E category discussion forum here is empty, the system still has to occupy two half-width character positions. One of them is used to display >, and the other is a reserved space Maybe you have guessed by seeing this that the so-called method of expanding the menu is to expand all menu items such as "E Category Discussion Area" Set it to an empty string and solidify these characters in the background. This can easily explain why the dish in the above example Why can the menu and the background be integrated into one? Because they are one, they are all in the background, and the menu block is actually Nothing is displayed except for that activity > The advantage of this method is that the administrator can concentrate on creating the background without having to worry too much about the coordination between the menu and the background. Of course, even so, there will still be a conflict between the menu and the background. The conflict is between the > position and After that, that position must be left empty in the background, otherwise there will be obvious errors. Also add ansi on the left side of > You must also be careful when using control symbols, because once the ansi control symbol overlaps with >, the control effect of ansi will be lost. Anyway, such a little trick really expands the menu creation space greatly, and I believe that when you master it, After this method, if you look at all BBS interfaces under the Firebird system today, you can see through the production method at a glance. Now, you have mastered basically all the key points of menu creation. All that is left is practice and creativity. This is also Why are menu producers required to have considerable Ansi production skills? It can indeed be the icing on the cake. Enjoy it. shipping 2002.6.7@Fudan ハミ へ へ Hello everyone, my name is Abing. The one on the right is a recent photo without a hat. Please click to enlarge.
