Custom Menu with Menu Manager
Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 11:57 am
Hi Guys,
I am loving the products just have a quick query on the menu manager:
I am trying to create a menu with drop downs and I think I could do this (with a bit of swearing and shouting) but the problem comes with the fact that I want each to top level menu to have a wrapper with a different CSS class and id and each lot of drop downs to have a different ID and class.
The only solution I have come up with is creating the top level menu manually and then doing a separate menu template for each one like the following:
{menu template='homeDropdownMenu.tpl' start_page='home'}
{menu template='aboutDropdownMenu.tpl' start_page='about'}
This obv creates the problem that my users will not be able to edit the top menu and I have got to create lots of different templates to make it work.
I basically want to structure to be the following to enable it to work with the dropdown script I am using:
Any help would be very much appreaciated
