It's IOS DV Menu : http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/menus/55.html module on _http://www.kmyrillas.gr and _http://www.thdhellas.gr websites!

Ivan i saw it on their's html view source export!

OK, but how to add that category fell and after the transition immediately from her article to appear?
draw the conclusion in the top menu: Table - Content Section. categories do not appear and articles in tabular form

left module css style change, under the template.
do not show you need to create it anew, or you can copy the code from the template?

i use the ds menu http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/menus/3.html there and the menu position is top, after if you would like to change the menu css you must change the dsmenu_h.css .... you must put and this somewhere before </head> in index.php....<?php echo '<link href="'.$mainframe->getCfg('live_site').'/modules/dsmenu/dsmenu_h.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />'; ?>

Ok i confused DV with DS menu! 

you must put and this somewhere before </head> in index.php....<?php echo '<link href="'.$mainframe->getCfg('live_site').'/modules/dsmenu/dsmenu_h.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />'; ?>

I think that there is a readme.txt file inside of this package which write instructions analytically !

babis1: Yes, I understood, and so did.
but I use a template and style Philoxenia modules / dsmenu / dsmenu_h.css for it is not appropriate. (Navigation blue:))
That said, you need to do under the new template, or can copy from the template Philoxenia code style.
thanks

you mean you cant install the module?
if you can install it then go and unpublished everything in the top positions, then publish in top the ds menu after go to the mod and write in
Module Class Suffix:    -nav
give here
Menu Name:    mainmenu (or the menu that you want to go to drop down menu)
and here
Menu Style: horizontal
go to philoxenia index.php and delete in line 54    <div class="xenia_nav_<?php echo $philoxenia->pget('navbar'); ?>"> the red one so after you have
<div class="xenia_nav">
i havent install before the philoxenia templ
but i thing there may be the problem (i dont thing that you have problem with the search mod but if you have delet that from index.php ........
<div class="xenia_searchbox">
         <?php elxLoadModule('mod_search', -1); ?>
      </div>
and look in line 55    <?php mosLoadModules('top', -1); ?> maybe you need -2 or 0

The philoxenia template uses template parameters. You dont have to edit anything on the template's index.php. To change the look and feel of the template set the template parameters properly and if you wish to change colours edit the css. Don't touch the index.php file.

Detailed Philoxenia guide for modules positions and suffixes

If you need a template with horizontal dropdown menu you may check IOS Clean or Imagination or other template with that functionality integrated. demo of IOS Clean, demo of Imagination.

so if the templ came with parameters maybe its complicate to make some custom changes, as yannis say if you dont know what exactly you do dont change the index.php

This is how a top menu, and title of the article wryly depicted.

[datahell]

This is normal. You use a menu on a template that was not designed for it.
You should either change the menu's CSS or the template. You can not put any module on any template without modifying its css first in order to suit the template.
