constant unchanging submenu with top hirozontal dropdown?????

[impara]

anybody knows how to make an constant unchanging submenu with top hirozontal dropdown??

[JohnnyB]

I'm not sure what you mean - can you give a better description or example?

[impara]

I managed to combine the submenu (left subnavigation) with the top dropdown Menu (CSSMenu top). The way I done it is by replacing the layout of the menu template of the Top simple navigation + left subnavigation + 1 column with cssmenu.tpl

like (menu template='simple_navigation.tpl')  replaced with (menu template='cssmenu.tpl')


But the questsion is how to configure the menus so that the submenu menu is constant and unchanging no matter what page is selected from the top dropdown menu?

here an example of the constant and unchanging submenu but without dropdown menu

http://www.senecahillperennials.com (I got the example from the topic called "Welcome" link is highlighted even when after a different link is selected)

sorry for my bad english

i dont need an unchanging submenu so this works great for me however it does NOT work in IE, only firefox?

any ideas? All I did was change the

(menu template='simple_navigation.tpl')  to  (menu template='cssmenu.tpl')

in the Top simple navigation + left subnavigation + 1 column template...

v 1.0.7

Thanks

impara,

in menu, you can also select the items, that need to be shown in menu. Also in MenuManager 1.0.4 is the ability built in to include/exclude prefixes, so you can call the menu with a specific prefix, so you could call the menu you're using twice, once with exclude_prefix with the menu you don't want to see in the general menu and with include_prefix with the menu you want to see, at the position you want it. Check the help of MenuManager, "Layout -> Menu Manager -> Help" for parameters that can be used.

U have of course to remember to set ur page layout to Top simple navigation + left subnavigation + 1 column.

[ethical]

impara,

yes of course I have done that (which is why it works in Firefox ok)

any other thoughts? does it work for you in IE?

[RonnyK]

ethical,

did you attach the stylesheet "CSSmenu-vertical" and remove the "simple vertical menu"-stylesheet out of the attached stylesheets?

Ronny

[RonnyK]

Ethical,

one other point, using the CSSmenu required the calling of the JS-file. In the templates for the CSS-menu's you can see the calling of this script. You might want to see if this solves your issue.

It works for me in IE and the stylesheet i set for the Top simple navigation + left subnavigation + 1 column is:
Navigation: Simple - Vertical 
Layout: Top menu + 2 columns 
Navigation: CSSMenu - Horizontal 
Navigation: Simple - Horizontal

Hi Ronny,
