CMS Made Simple Forums

hi
how can i make horizontal menu

something like this

home | partners | contact | ...

thanks

YES, PLease help us!!

I was trying to create this holy horizontal menu but I'm starting to think that this is impossible.

CMS is so simple that creates only ultrs-super vertical menus... this menu manager template system kills me.

How on earth create a SIMPLE HORIZONTSAL MENU???.

PLEASE HELP

PEACE n LOVE

If you look at a default install you will see a horiz. menu, the main CSS for it is...

/* menu list items */
div#menu_horiz li {
  float: left; /* makes the list horizontal */
  list-style: none; /* hides the list bullet */
  margin: 0 ;
  border-right: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
}

Set in the template here, note the div id...


 

This is telling the list in the identified div to float left... so whatever div you put it in you use theses CSS calls for them...

Create a template out of the code below.  It works very well.

{if $count > 0}

{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
{if $node->current == true}
url}" id="footer_active">{$node->menutext} |
{elseif $node->parent == true}
url}" id="footer_active">{$node->menutext} |
{else}
url}">{$node->menutext} |
{/if}
{if $node->index + 1 == $count}
url}">{$node->menutext}
{/if}
{/foreach}


{/if}

Here is the css I used
.footer {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 160%;
color: #ffffff;
text-align: center;
padding: 3px 0;
}
.footer a:link, .footer a:visited {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px;
letter-spacing: 0.05em

}
.footer a:hover {
color:  #A06600;
}
#footer_active{
color: #A06600;
}

Here is the call call I used to the menu
{menu template='nav_bottom.tpl' number_of_levels='1'}

I've just used a variation on this script, and it seems to work ok.

However, i'm curious as the what the last {if statment is doing? When I included this line, the last item in my menu was displayed twice?

Kind regards,

Gary
