Re: Extended Menu
OK, here is a real challenge for you guys!
I am using one menu, with parent and sub items. The Top Menu module displays the parent items, and I have the sub items displayed in a menu module on the left in certain sections of the website. This all works fine.
Now, what I also what to do is to be able to rollover the top menu, and have another set of sub items be displayed underneath the top menu, based on which parent the mouse is over. Rather like this website (http://www.compassdesigns.net/) - if you put the mouse over 'Home', then 'Joomla CMS News and Tips from the #1 Joomla Blog' appears underneath it.
Possible?

Re: Extended Menu
Hi all,
I have been finding a solution for quite a long time now, I am desesperatly lost!
I have the Extended menu working with the Suckerfish Horizontal Template.
I have it working, except that I have the menu in vertical style, and I would like to have it horizontal. I chose "flat list" as menu style, and I don't think the problem is there.
When I look at the source code of the page, I see that the 3 submenus of my menu are located in 3 different Div in the page, instead of having them in the same Div.
The css works fine, i don't think it has something to do with css.
The problem might be there, how can I solve that to have my menu horizontal?
Thanks for your help!

Installation / Usage issues
I installed the module no problem, and activated it in the module manager. Here are my issues:
1) All my existing menus are of module type mod_mainmenu. How do I convert them to the extended menu type? Do I have to copy the extended menu, rename it to what the previous module was called, and then disable the previous module?
2) When I go to create a new menu, it automatically creates a module of type mod_mainmenu. How can I get it to automatically generate the extended menu module instead?
Thanks!

Re: Extended Menu
Make a new menu item that links to your article. Make the menu item a "child" of another to have it show up as a sub-menu.flamingjim wrote:Hi there i'm a completly new to joomla

Re: Extended Menu
The JED says Extended Menu is "1.5 native" but it will not install or work without the legacy plugin turned on. Am I missing something? I am concerned about using it, because apparently "Legacy mode" will not be included in J1.6.
EDIT: Yes, I am missing something. Although I downloaded the most recent version of Extended Menu module, when I went to install, I picked an OLD version out of my folder. Doh! It works fine in Joomla 1.5 native.

Re: Extended Menu
Help! Cant get my menu to work in IE. It works fine in Firefox and Chrome. I have used this menu on multiple Joomla sites and for some reason I cant get it to work on this one.
Its on Montereywatercolors.com
I have been working at this for hours and finally decided to put the call out
My problem is that in IE the menu shows up but when you move the mouse down on the subitems it disappears. Its impossible to navigate.
Here is my JS

Re: Extended Menu
Oh and Klementz, what I have done in J1.5 sites is used the JA_Purity template's menu and then modify Purity to look like what I need. JA_Purity has a built in dropdown menu.
What extended menu does is makes your menu an ordered list in J1.0, where you can then build the CSS menu and add the javascript. Joomla 1.5 has this built in, where it now will make your menu as an ordered list.
Try this thread out. http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=469&t=295837

Splitting my menu does not work properly
Hi,
I am using Extended Menu to split the main- and the submenu into two horizontal leftfloating (css) unordered lists (ul). Hm, whatever... Now I have the problem that sometimes the user leaves the "normal" navigation of my site. For example: I implemented a forum where you can use a seperate login. But on this forum's login-page none of my menu-items is active. Which means that even no mainmenu-item is active. And THAT is the problem. If no mainmenu-item is active no submenu will "show up". How can I make sure that a category stays active / that my Submenu appears on ALL pages?
Thanx!

Re: Extended Menu
This is a great extension, but some of the features are not working correctly and there are some strange things happening.
1. When setting the source type to SECTIONS, it fails to update the menu with items/articles added after the extension is installed. The only way to display new articles in the menu, is to re-install the extension. There is another post with a fix for this here, but it requires some editing of the code, and since this "fix" there has been new releases of extended menu!
2. Is there any way to get the BREADCRUMBS module working with a menu created from a SECTION source?
3. After installing this extension, I notice a new menu gets created in my joomla menus called "Support" with some kinda structure. I have no idea why it does this, and where it gets its references from to create this menu. I can delete the menu without any problems ... but it bugs me that it does weird things like that.
4. Unlike ALL other modules, when I click module manager -> new, it does not list "extended menu"(mod_exmenu-j15) as a module. I only have the default module that is created(unpublished) after installation. If I want to create more extended menu modules(which I do), I need to COPY the original extended module from the module manager area.
5. Also, does anyone know why my category links are going to some unrelated article page instead of going to the specific category links page as defined in the module?
Here is a link to the current page with the menu(it's all under construction):
http://i.imagevuex.com/index.php/support/tutorials
Thanks for any feedback!

Just wanted to notify that I found out about this. You need to "Clean Cache" once in a while to update the menu in regards to new items in section and categories.suncat wrote:1.

Menu dissapearing after login - Urgent! Pls help
Hi all,
I have successfully installed, configured and customized Extended menu. It's positioned in the left side of my website. There are 3 more joomla default menus in the pages, one at the top, and two at the footer-bottom.
The problem is that whenever a website registered user logs in, the left Extended menu disappears while the rest 3 menus are still visible. I have set in the Extended menu's parameters, the menu to be visible in all pages.
I don't understand why is this happening? Am I missing something?

Re: Extended Menu
Hi I am really fed up to find a solution. May be because of new to joomla.
Ok , Let me explain what I want.
1. How can change the size of the menu items displayed flat list/vertical list.
2 How can I change the back ground of sub menu item when they displayed in a particular location.
My actual problem , when I used the extended menu with split menu option I am , the sub menu items are not getting immediate eye catch where they got displayed. So if i can change the color of background for them , that gets the eye catch .
Can any one help me how can i do that ?

Re: Extended Menu
Hi Guys,
I have the extended menu working fairly well however I'm running into a small snag using the "auto expand sections/categories" feature. Basically what I'm trying to achieve is articles being auto added to the menu depending on their section/category association.
THe drop down with sections/categories is working fine except that articles that should be on the 2nd level (under categories) are ALSO appearing at the 1st level. Anyone got any ideas about this?
Mouse over the "cosmetic" tab to see what I mean:

Re: Extended Menu
I am using Joomla 1.5 and Extended menu 1.0.6
Everything works well, but when I validate my page against W3C, I always get this Error:
ID "mainlevelmainnav" already defined
<ul id="mainlevelmainnav"><li><a href="/Joomla/de/test.html ....
An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).
What would be the easiest way / what do I have to change, to get this menu valid?
I think I have to change the CSS File an the list.menuview.class.php in the modules folder.

Re: Extended Menu
Hi i dont know if this is the right place to put this post but i cant find any other place to get support for the extended menu module...
Im working with joomla 1.5
and extended menu version 1.0.6 (build 70).
link: http://www.aaodds.dk
Im not really using this as a menu but rather a way to display a latest-news module.
It shows the titles of all articles within a section as a menu.
My problem is that i want to limit the amount of menu items displayed and cant seem to find it as a parameter.
Have i missed something because it would seem as an obvious thing to have as a parameter?
Hope either Daniel or someone else can help me out here

Re: Extended Menu
Hi guys,
I've installed the 1.0.6 module,(There's another module which is "_pathway" - what's this used for?). I've gotten information from http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_CSS_D ... enu_module
I'm not clearly understanding the steps 3 & 4.
When I put the code within the <head></head> tags, the front end of my site displays a bunch of writing in the header area. It doesn't seem correct to think that I would put this in the <head> tag.
/* ********* drop down menu Java script code – end **********/
/****************** Dropdown Menu styling starts here **************/
Thanks a lot for your help

Do I literally put the code in the <head> tag, meaning <head ****this is the start code**>content </head>? or within the <head>****This is the start code***</head> tags?3. Insert this piece of JS in your template index.php <head> tag, or in java script file that’s called from index.php
When I put the code within the <head></head> tags, the front end of my site displays a bunch of writing in the header area. It doesn't seem correct to think that I would put this in the <head> tag.
I am just as unclear where to put the CSS code. I'm guessing where ever I paste the JS code, directly under the end of it - Meaning:4. Here the corresponding CSS..

In this context it does mean the code has to be BETWEEN the starting <head> AND the closing </head> inserted.
NOT INSIDE!
So copy that piece of js.code, make a new (empty) line and insert then.
Easy - or not??
Edit: as for the css this is similiar.
1. Make a new (empty) lime.
2. copy that piece of code (css)
3. insert where you created the new line
There is only one missing with this css.code.
You have general 2 options:
A. Do it as described above
B. Put that css.code into the existing (and already called) template_css.css
If you are doing it as B., everything is okay.
If you are doing it as A., you have to add BEFORE (as first line) the css this:
<script type="text/css">
And AFTER (last line) this:
</script>

Re: Extended Menu
Hi mic,
Thanks for the reply. I followed the steps you've given me, however I still have the black text being displayed in header on the front end of my site. Incase it becomes illegible in the picture, here is what it says; I've attached a sample picture below:
I apologize for my lack of knowledge, and I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Ty
EDIT - I noticed in that <head> tag, i had an extra space in there. I've removed the extra space, however that didn't solve the problem.

Re: Extended Menu

If not, send me the file and i implement it for you.
