CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi:

I've searched hi and lo and got some info, but i'm not very clear on the solution. 

I'm using v1.2.3 "black Rock" on Unix box.

the site is using split navigation, top nav must have 2 levels, and remaining subnavs in left column.  I have entered the tag as {menu template='simple_navigation.tpl' number_of_levels='2' collapse='1'}, but this create a secondary horizontal nav and forces the top most level to expand in width.  Here's an example http://207.219.21.43/cmsms/index.php?page=capabilities.  i'm making changes to the home page for now.

Is it possible to use css menu horizontal for the first 2 levels and simple vertical nav for the lower levels?

thank you so much

Yes it is you just have to make 2 {menu} calls, you will need to use diff. menu templates so you don't get the CSS confused...

One of the default installed template uses a split menu just not a drop down for the top...

Hey Mark:

it's been a long time.  thanks for responding, but I thin i have it figured out.  I initially used the Top simple navigation + left subnavigation template and css but that did not work because it would not allow me to set set number of levels to 2. So i have revised my approach to using the CSSmenu horizontal and was able to set the number of levels as desired.  I'm still going to use the vertical simple nav for levels 3 and down assuming this will work. 

Thanks for responding, though.
