What i want is 3 menus, which all of them have children.

For the 1st menu want to show some items with their children, same for 2nd and 3rd.

How do i achieve this?

Basically i need to find the menu template code and stylesheet for a basic menu with seperators i am guessing.

Like M@rtijn gave me this code:

Code: Select all

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
<li><a href="{$node->url}">{$node->menutext}</a></li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
</div>

I am having a bit of difficulty.

Like i said i would like to have a simple menu template code for use with children.

And how would i go about having 3 menus, each with different items and children

The logic and CSS etc. for drop down menus is driven with the cssmenu.tpl and one of these style sheets Navigation: CSSMenu - Horizontal or Navigation: CSSMenu - Vertical depending on if it is a drop or flyout, you use it for the left flyout menu, #1...

That being said it don't work so well if you have 2 items with the same ID in 3 places so you would have to import it and use classes for menuwrapper and primary-nav then use the containing divs for the style calls...

What do your {menu} tags look like...

thanks for the reply.

Below are the menu tags i use.

1. {menu template="GRANDLODGE_LEFT" start_level="2"}
2. {menu template="GRANDLODGE_TOP" items="istoria_tektonismou,megali_stoa,contact"}
3. {menu template="GRANDLODGE_TOP" items="members_area"}

What i understood from what you said, is to always use template="cssmenu.tpl" and attach the CSSmenu vertical/CSSmenu horizontal style to my template? how is gonna differentiate which style is for what if i attach both in my template?

I just want to know the basic core of the menu. i would like a vertical and horizontal menu with children in without even style, so i can start making my style using a default one with only the core of what is needed

If you use items= in the menu call it will only show those items...

I said the cssmenu.tpl has certain calls in it that relate to the code in the 2 style sheets, if you want to use the same menu template in 2 places you need to change the IDs to classes so you don't get errors/invalid code...

[georgechr]

then how do i call specific menu items with their children?
