Dear masters!
I want to have a horizontal drop line menu and I want align it base on parent menu, here is structure:
parent 1
parent 2
parent 3
submenu 3.1
submenu 3.2
.....
parent 4
parent 5
submenu 5.1
submenu 5.2
.....
parent 6
So, I'd like insert ID for when menu has submenu to align it by css, can it possible?.
Thank masters!

First off ID or class can't use numbers, you will need a letter in front of it...
You will need to import a menu template and customize it, first thing I would do is put numbers after or before every call in it to find which one to target then you can use the {counter} function to count the steps/amount of times it's cycled thru the so it would look like this...
which will give you id='a1', id='a2' etc....

Yup, IDs cannot start with a number... they should also be unique on a page. So, you need to use classes instead of IDs or use two "prefixes", one for the UL submenus, the other for the actual menu items.. example below, based on minimal_menu.tpl, uses the latter.
Code: Select all
{*
entire menu is <ul id="menu">
nested submenus are <ul id="menu_N"> where N equals hierarchy position of parent
menu items are <a id="position_N"> where N equals hierarchy position
(where menu item is not a link, the <li> is assigned the id instead)
dashes replace dots, e.g. <a id="position_2-1-3">
*}
{if $count > 0}
<ul id="menu">
{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
{if $node->depth > $node->prevdepth}
{repeat string="<ul id=\"menu_`$prevlevel`\">" times=$node->depth-$node->prevdepth}
{elseif $node->depth < $node->prevdepth}
{repeat string="</li></ul>" times=$node->prevdepth-$node->depth}
</li>
{elseif $node->index > 0}</li>
{/if}
{assign var='prevlevel' value=$node->hierarchy|replace:'.':'-'}
{if $node->current == true}
<li><a href="{$node->url}" id="position_{$node->hierarchy|replace:'.':'-'}" class="currentpage"{if $node->target ne ""} target="{$node->target}"{/if}> {$node->menutext} </a>
{elseif $node->parent == true && $node->depth == 1 and $node->type != 'sectionheader' and $node->type != 'separator'}
<li class="activeparent"> <a href="{$node->url}" id="position_{$node->hierarchy|replace:'.':'-'}" class="activeparent"{if $node->target ne ""} target="{$node->target}"{/if}> {$node->menutext} </a>
{elseif $node->type == 'sectionheader'}
<li class="sectionheader" id="position_{$node->hierarchy|replace:'.':'-'}">{$node->menutext}
{elseif $node->type == 'separator'}
<li style="list-style-type: none;" id="position_{$node->hierarchy|replace:'.':'-'}"> <hr class="separator" />
{else}
<li><a href="{$node->url}" id="position_{$node->hierarchy|replace:'.':'-'}"{if $node->target ne ""} target="{$node->target}"{/if}> {$node->menutext} </a>
{/if}
{/foreach}
{repeat string="</li></ul>" times=$node->depth-1}</li>
</ul>
{/if}
