Title: Menu sublevels appearing with list style menu ?
Post by: ROUBOS on November 22, 2009, 23:02:51

Hi
how do I create a list menu (horizontal style - unsorted list), and when clicking on a menu item, then its sublevel appearing underneath it again in a list style submenu?

Is it possible?

Thinking of creating an unsorted list horizontal menu appearing on the home page at position assigned "TOP",  and when clicking on a menu item, having the sublevels appear in another position underneath the mainlevel again horizontally.

Any thoughts, ideas guidance and help will be appreciated

thanks in advance...

Like this (http://demo.rockettheme.com/nov08/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=27)? I think that to do it you must create special module with some css-files.

yes like that.

how do I go about doing it?

So it's like another menu module appearing like a submenu to menu item when clicked.

Also is it possible to have a menu item to appear on the 'right' module position only on a certain page? and not all the time?

thanks

Hi there, I think that you can do that duplicating the top menu module on your control panel, selecting the copy option on the top.

and then you have to configure the copied menu to appear only on the links that you choose on the main menu or the top menu:

Also you have to change the class sufix and the menu name (of the cloned one).

No, you can create it in one module. When you getting menu items from db just put toplevel items in top div and sublevel menu items (for currently selected items) in underneath div.

hm... I think you can do it only with modules (in standart mod_mainmenu module)... not with certain menu item. But of course you can programming you own module that can do it.
