Looking For: Horizontal Drop-Down Menu

Post by rbaby »

Hey guys,

I'm using the latest version of the menu manager--but I'm not great with CSS or how this thing works...does anybody have a menu I can cut and paste that's horizontal with the dynamic drop downs?

Please let me know, I would appreciate it--the default vertical one does not work for the design but I'd like to keep it dynamic.

Thank you in advance.

Have you looked at the default install "CSSMenu top + 2 columns"?...

Mark,

Thank you--I can start modifying this CSS...where can I find the cssmenu.tpl file?  I couldn't find it in places I searched, could you give me the path to this tpl so I can modify how/what is displayed.

Go to Layout > Menu Manager then File Templates tab and you see an icon to the right click then name it and submit now you have a template you can edit based on the cssmenu.tpl, the call for it is {menu template="yourtemplatename"} note no .tpl on the end...

Thank you - i wanted to assign specific classes for each one so I can control the colors of the main + sub independently.  right now I modify the css and it applies to both.  how do I also remove the #'s next to the labels?

If you attach the default Accessibility CSS it will remove the #'s, if you modify the menu template and add li class="{$node->alias}" this will give you a class you can use to style them...
