Yeah, the submenu is enabled. I have chosen position breadcrumb for my main menu, which is the correct positioning for it on my template. I've assigned the submenu to position left.

My main menu parameters are:
Menu Name mainmenu
Menu Style legacy horizontal

Start Level 0
End Level 1
Always show sub-menu Items No

Target Position (empty)

The submenu parameters are:
Menu Name mainmenu
Menu Style list

Start Level 1
End Level 10
Always show sub-menu Items Yes

Target Position (empty)

my site is www.infinitesolutionsonline.com

Thanks!

I have a small issue with the Extended Menu. It works great and the features allow me to create a very flexible template for my first Joomla website. Thanks for this nice module!

However, for my template I need several Extended Menu modules in one location. But when I go to the module management page, and click the New button, there is no item that shows the Extended Menu. Only the default main menu...

As a workaround I was able to copy the existing Extended Menu, but for completeness I think it would be better to have the Extended Menu in the 'new module' page also.

I'm sorry if this problem was reported before and I missed the discussion. I didn't have time to crawl through 31 pages. ;-)

Keep up the great work!

I am using suckerfish-horizontal with J!1.5.13. I have followed the myriad of how to's out there but I now have a top menu with drop downs permanently ON and positioned (as attached).
Attachment:
Picture9.png


This is straight out of the box I have not meddled with any CSS but I have followed the instructions for the menu set up. My question is what should I be looking to do to fix this - there are so many different discussions out there about x/z positions and styles, but all I want to do is get it working - I can meddle with the style after.

Any pointers please???

Is there an extended menu expert out there that wants a commission :D

I wish I was an expert. I'm having some troubles with my extended menu on the following site: emu-aaup.org

It works in IE7, but non-functional in Firefox, Safari and IE8. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I've reinstalled the extended menu module, and follow the steps exactly as stated on http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_CSS_Drop_down_Menu for using extended menu as a joomla menu. My site now displays coding in the header area on the front end of my site, and there is no drop down effect.

Please help! http://www.infinitesolutionsonline.com

Why do you want to use extended menu? As far as I can see you have no need for it for the site you posted. I would recommend to stick with the default Joomla! menu and create the dropdown with the tutorial.

The only tutorial that I know of is http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_CSS_Drop_down_Menu

I would like to have a drop down menu, that's why I chose Extended Menu :)

You don't need Ext menu for a drop down. I use this technique: http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/, with the default Joomla menu. Works in all browsers.

Hi again!

I added the menu tag ID "TestTag" to my main menu module, and edited the sample coding to: #TestTag. I tried including the javascript with the css, however that didin't work. I then added to my index.php head tag:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
sfHover = function() {
   var sfEls = document.getElementById("TestTag").getElementsByTagName("LI");
   for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {
      sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {
         this.className+=" sfhover";
      }
      sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
         this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), "");
      }
   }
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);
</script>


But this didn't work either. By doesn't work, I mean that the submenu items that are assigned to Internet Services are not displayed. Any ideas on this??

Thank you for help!

Ty

If you're still talking about http://www.infinitesolutionsonline.com/, there aren't any submenu-items? So there is nothing to display in a drop down. You'll have to create second level links under 'internet services' first.

Maybe this has been asked, but there's too much posts to read the whole topic:

I made a menu split in two (mainmenu & submenu). Highlighting works fine as long as I click on the menu, but as soon as I click on a link that is not in the menu, Extended Menu loses track and doesn't highlight or show the submenu. What can I do to resolve this? I want it to remember where it was.

I do have sub menu items. The display varies with the type of menu style, however there is no drop down effect.

When the menu style is set to List, it displays:

When set to Legacy Vertical, it displays:

with Legacy Horizontal:

and Flat List:

You're doing something wrong :). You don't have submenu-items. If Internet services has to be in the drop down of Computer services you have to assign CS as the parent item of IS.
You van do this in the menumanager. Go to the main menu, open the IS item and set CS as parent in the settings left.
Only than will Joomla create the extra ul you need for the drop down.

Internet Services isn't in the drop down of Computer Services. Computer Services & Internet Services are two separate Parent menu items.

I also tried applying Computer Services as the parent item of Internet Services, however the display remains the same for all the menu style lay outs as posted above. The child menu items are displayed in the same level as the parent's with no drop down effect.

The is something wrong with your menu because in the source code I don't seen any nested ul in a parent li. Since it is this nested ul that is positioned in the drop down css, you definitely need is. Usually the Joomla men generates this ul. No idea what's wrong.

Could it be the template I'm using? Or maybe some extended menu code that is still affecting the menu?

What would you do if you were me?

Thank you for helping.

Ty

There might be something wrong in your menu-module settings. If you give me temporary access to the administrator I can have a look. If you want you can make an extra user account and pm me the login.

Hi Ty, i changed the following parameters:
Menustyle: list
End level: 2
Always show sub-menu Items: yes

The last one was causing your problem. You do want your submenu items displayed, the dropdown css hides it.

Tom

When using sections, the links built are either not part of the section configured, or lead to 404 errors.
