Free WordPress Plugin: DynamicWP Fisheye Menu

27th Oct 2010 | Posted by Eko S. | 48 Comments

DynamicWP fisheye menu is a free wordpress plugin, this plugin will build a Fisheye menu from a list of links. Like Mac OS user interface at the bottom of the screen, where there is a dockbar with icons on it, and when you mouse over the icons they grow in size, giving the “fisheye” effect.

DynamicWP fisheye menu is provided to user under the open source GPL License, you can use it for all your project or at least use it as a foundation for your next projects for free and without any restrictions.

Great idea for a plugin and really nice implementation!

I know you can’t include in pages and posts as said above, but this would be a great feature to include in future versions. A shortcode for each fisheye menu created in the backend? Something like:
[fisheye id=1] where the id is the id of the specific fisheye menu to be included in a page or post.

Come to think of it, I suppose you could also included your code in the post above into a page template to display the menu.

Anyway, great work and look forward to hearing your comments about making multiple menus possible and shortcode to insert into pages or posts

    You’re welcome:) If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s brainstorming additions to existing code and software. We call it “feature creep” here:)

It is a very nice plugin indeed, and I like it very much.
This is not a complaint However, I thought sharing with you one issue I have with it.
When I first installed the FishEye, I mistakenly entered my 5th info into the 6th field (I have a very wide screen, and it showed 2 columns in admin) and saved it. After I realized my mistake, I of course deleted the 6th and entered it into the place it was really meant from the beginning, but from that time on, it showed the sixth image in the front menu
I hate to say that I (think butchered) your script to get rid of that sixth image, and now it throws me an error in IE8 (I don’t particularly care for IE but what choice do we have?! Right!?
Works great for me in every other browsers on earth of course :^D
Here’s the error:
Message: Invalid argument.
Line: 30
Char: 144
Code: 0
URI: http://localhost/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.4.2
Perhaps u can give me an idea on what I have done wrong
If u can’t, don’t worry… I’ll manage!
Thanks for this great little useful toy.
Best regards

  by default, this menu displays sixth menu, even you dont fill the column for that sixth menu
  if you want to hide it by default
  
  open fisheye.php, in line 125
  
  replace this code
```
<a href="<?php echo $Fisheye6link; ?>" class="fisheyeItem"><img src="<?php echo $linkss.'images/6.png';?>" width="30" alt="img" /><span><?php echo $Fisheye6; ?></span></a>
```
  with
```
<?php if ($Fisheye6) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $Fisheye6link; ?>" class="fisheyeItem"><img src="<?php echo $linkss.'images/6.png';?>" width="30" alt="img" /><span><?php echo $Fisheye6; ?></span></a>
<?php } ?>
```

Is there a way to add 3 more items to the menu? I tried adding extra code to the .php file but that returned an error message. Unfortunately, I am not adept at rewriting javascript so I can’t tell if I would need to alter it or where to even start if I did.

Otherwise, love love love this plugin!!!

I am having some trouble with changing the images. I’ve gone to the control panel where my site is hosted and found the image file for this plugin. I changed 1.png to default1.png and then I uploaded a new png file and renamed it 1.png, but nothing changed! I am very new to this, but please help! I love this plugin – it is just what I need – with a few changes . Thank you.

I uploaded my own images, but I can’t seem to make them bigger. When I upload larger images, it’s like they still stay a smaller size. Is there something I can change to allow them to be bigger or at least their correct size?

Amazing plugin!!!

I heve a problem. i’m trying to keep it fixed in one page (for example at the very bottom of the pages). But somehow, after scrolling down the page, the roll over of the mouse doesn’t recognize the “new position” of the fisheye menu. It just recognize the previuos position where actually there’s no menù.

Any clue?

Btw, i love your plugins.

I would like to be able to get the menu float. Or, stay in one position as I scroll.
I haven’t figured out how to do that yet.. It sure would be nice if that option were available, either for top, or bottom or both.. Any ideas?

Hi, Great plugins. They are awesome and the instructions and support you provide are outstanding.

I have seem to have a few conflicts when running Dynamic Fisheye and Dynamic To Top plugin:.

1) I can get Fisheye to work but cannot get Dynamic To Top to work along side itk (ie it does not scroll to the top)

2) When I uninstall Fisheye it automatically causes Dynamic To Top to disappear and also removes all of my websites body borders.

I am using the Boldy WordPress Theme. I have activated both Fisheye and To Top. Any help you can provide will be appreciated.

Thanks again for all the great work!

  PS: Please also note that the Dynamic To Top Plugin worked up until the point I installed the Fisheye plugin so I am certain that the conflict is isolated to Fisheye. When I uninstalled Fisheye it removed my websites body borders and the To Top Plugin.
  
  Thank you.

    RESOLVED: When deactivating the plugin remember to also go back and remove the code you inserted into your page.php! Thanks again for the great plugin. Am using and recommending it to all my web design peers. Cheers!
