menu left vertical + top dropdown [SOLVED]

[flade]

I'm wondering how to put together left vertical menu and top drop down menu.

I was just to start drawing top menu but I realized It's not such a good idea. I want top menu to extend with pages that i create.

I attached what i want to do.

*** EDIT

This post you mentioned. It shows how to put left and right side to work. I did some modifications

This is my top tag:  
{menu template='cssmenu.tpl' collapse='1' items='link8' number_of_levels='2'}

But there is no drop down menu. I did conect css vertical stylesheet to my template.
If I use without items='link8' all itemes are displayed and drop down works.

any ideas.

Flade,

the styling for the default top-menu combined with the vertical-menu only shows on level, you should check the CSS for the top-menu as well and combine this in the combination.

Right,

I got cms menu stylesheet for top horizontal menu with drop down. Thing is when I enable all menu items. Top menu show same items as left menu.

When I put start_element like this: 

Code: Select all

  {menu template='cssmenu.tpl' start_element="3" } 

It shows only menu item 3 with subitems. But I want to display horizontaly more than just 1 item.

Then I tried with this:

Code: Select all

{menu template='cssmenu.tpl' collapse='1' items='link8' number_of_levels='2'}

It shows only link8 with no subitems.

I don't think this has anything to do with style sheet, as cms_horizontal stylesheet is used only for this top menu. I edited cssmenu.tpl and cms_horizontal stylesheet to use same classes and ids.

any clues ?

Sorry if this was discussed before but right now I can't find the right post.

What if you remove the "collapse='1'" in the calling of the vertical menu.

No good, it's without subitems.

Code: Select all

{menu template='cssmenu.tpl' items='link8, link9' number_of_levels='2'}

When you use the "items=" option in  the menu call it will only show the items in the call eg. link8, link9 if you need to start at a certain level and only show it and it's siblings try the start_element="1.2", 1.2 being the number before the page name in Content » Pages....

# (optional) start_page="home" - Starts the menu displaying at the given start_page and showing that element and it's children only. Takes a page alias.
# (optional) start_element="1.2" - Starts the menu displaying at the given start_element and showing that element and it's children only. Takes a hierarchy position (e.g. 5.1.2).
# (optional) start_level="2" - This option will have the menu only display items starting a the given level. An easy example would be if you had one menu on the page with number_of_levels='1'. Then as a second menu, you have start_level='2'. Now, your second menu will show items based on what is selected in the first menu.
# (optional) show_root_siblings="1" - This option only becomes useful if start_element or start_page are used. It basically will display the siblings along side of the selected start_page/element.
# (optional) number_of_levels="1" - This setting will only allow the menu to only display a certain number of levels deep.
# (optional) items="contact,home" - Use this item to select a list of pages that this menu should display. The value should be a list of page aliases separated with commas.
# (optional) collapse="1" - Turn on (set to 1) to have the menu hide items not related to the current selected page.
