2nd Level - child navigation issue

Post by stanb17 »

Using Outdoors_full template, I have set line of code to



                {cms_module module='menumanager' template='cssmenu.tpl' number_of_levels='2' start_level='1'} 


at http://tttomtalks.net/index.php?page=actor

Site uses Frame forwarding. On roll-over the Videos link pushes to right instead of rendering below the Actor link. Does not function at all on the home page.

Please advise.
Thanks
Stan

Try moving the styling of your menu to the menu style sheet, all that float:left on the UL etc. is messing with the function, the default menu style sheet should be all you need, just make the style adjustments in it...

Doc,

I think I may just have too many stylesheets in play here. See attachment. I have gone round and around for 2 days on this issue and am just not getting anywhere.
Please advise.
Thank
SB

The number of style sheets in Layout > Stylesheets has nothing to do with the menu or other parts of the template, only the style sheets attached to the template effect it, I have sites with 12 to 16 pages of style sheets...

Dr.
Well.. that much I understand  :-[  In this cade there are 3 templates in play. They are only variations on each other for use in different parts of the site.

Outdoors: Outdoors Template (CSS attachments = Accessibility and Xbrowser tools, Outdoor: Outdoor style and Navigation CSS menu Horizontal)

Outdoors Full - Default (CSS attachments - Outdoors Full, Accessibility and Xbrowswer... and Navigation: CSS menu Horizontal)


Outdoors Calendar (CSS attachments, Calendar CSS example V1, Accessibility and Xbrowswer... and Navigation: CSS menu Horizontal)

I've tried backing them all out and I get the menu to more or less render the children below, but the formatting of the entire page goes to hell.

My conclusion is that something within one of the CSS's required to render the pages the way I want is also hosing the ability of the navigation to work as I want.

Rock - ME - Hard Place.

Would you like me to attach anything that might shed light on this?
Thanks for your help.

Remove:

From #nav ul

float:left
width
margin
display:inline

From #nav ul li

display:inline

From #nav ul li a

float:left

If you need to bump the ul over put padding left on menuwrapper...

Dr,

I did what you ask and applied to the 3 CSS's in play and there was no change at all. Not a caching issue. I was able to effect change, but not what I wanted by altering the .tpl in this line of the Outdoors_full template.



                {cms_module module='menumanager' template='cssmenu.tpl' number_of_levels='2' start_level='1'} 


By changing cssmenu.tpl I was able to effect changes to the menu.. but there are only two other tpl's and neither one resulted in activating the child level. One thing that is frustrating is that this has never been an issue with other sites I built on CMSMS.

Any other advice?
Thanks
SB
