I upgraded a site to Joomla! 1.5.26 - We will go for 2.5 or 3.x asap. Somehow the footer menu and top menu now are wrapped in list items, not in divs. Therefore the styling is no longer applied properly. I tried going to modules and changes to legacy horizontal, but then the items got wrapped in table cells. Is there any way to get them to be wrapped in divs again?

Update:

Seems the module menu style that was loaded as another option before is no longer loaded. Need to figure out how I did that before..

Without working out what you did before, you have two options really. Either a module override to make the menu output match what's in your css, or just update the css to match what's coming out of the module now.

It sounds like the core module has been changed at some point and the upgrade has reverted it back to how it should be.

And do get onto 2.5.x sooner rather than later - running 1.5.x now is just asking for trouble!!

Found the issue. Overwrote the mainmenu module and search module. For those different styles were declared a few years ago. Had to reinstate these. Too bad these module styles were not (or cannot?) be styled within the template itself.

Yeah, will talk to owner again about upgrade soon. Thanks for the input!

The module styles (and pretty much all of the Joomla core output) can be styled in the template - have a read up on output overrides (http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_ ... omla!_core). It's the advised way to make changes because it forms part of the template rather than the core and so it doesn't get changed come update time.

Glad you worked it out though!!

Mick.
