I have the same problem as piexy241 had and so far I haven't seen an explanation to help either of us except for one vague one. Some of us are not so code smart, can someone explain in layman's terms why the menu would be hidden behind the main content? and if possible how to fix that problem?

here is a test page using Maxi Menu. I will attempt to place the ARI Ext Men on this page as well later today. http://www.tennoutdoorsman.com/index.php/test-menu if you have a fix, post here or feel free to leave a comment on the specified page.

Ok the problem for me was this. I am using the system JAT3 Plugin for my template. It caused a conflict.
In the JAT3 plugin you need to locate base themes, default template.css and change the overflow properties to visible

Code: Select all

#ja-container ul.menu li { background: none; margin: 0; overflow: hidden; padding: 0; }

change to

Code: Select all

#ja-container ul.menu li { background: none; margin: 0; overflow: visible; padding: 0; }

Since this is a Maxi Menu thread I thought I' would just ask here.
I have installed the module and all works fine. I changed the parameters to what I would like them to be, but I can't for the life of me change the font. I have been looking in the CSS files, but there is nothing for me to work with. Does any body know how to change font in this module? I am using joomla 1.7, and the latest version of the module.

Thanks!!

I am not sure if I can post a link since my site is on a development server. But after hours of fiddling I actually had a eureka moment.

Depending whether you are using the vertical or horizontal menu, you have to edit either maximenuH.php or maximenuV.php found in ...modules/mod_maximenu_CK/themes/default/ or default2/css.
You have to create a new line for the font-family, as nothing has been specified. I put it in line 143 under the span.titreCK div dunno if that makes a difference
So easy when you know what to do! I am a newbie, but is it common to put style code in a php file? Thanks for trying to help!

heya All, has anyone managed to find the code that sets the offset of submenus, because my main drop down menu is so wide, when a sub menu springs up to the righ hand side, it starts at nearly the middle of the drop down, I just cannot see the offset setting.

Cheers

For the top menu of this page http://www.marketnewsservices.com/index.php/en/
i use Maximenu, i got it all like i want except i want more spacing / seperation in between the menus .
Where can i find this in the css of maximenu?

@foreverfan

Check line 186 in your template.css. Change your margin from 0 1px to something like 0 5px. You can play with the code a bit in Firebug (Firefox).

Hi thank you very much, i finally got myself some space in the menu

[foreverfan]

Hi Benji,

I would like to add a seperator line (straight vertical line) in between the menu items

I hope you can help me one more time since you seen to be a pro in template editing

Kind regards,

Linda

I know there are a lot of ways to do that. I will post a more exact way to do it later but for now try adding the space html entity behind your menu item title such as:

Code: Select all

home    |

This is a kind cheat to get the spacing. Using the entity

Code: Select all

 

for each space that you want between the "title" and the "|" character. (You may have to add some of these spacings behind the "|" as well.)

Like I said, there is a cleaner way to do this but this is a quick way to manually add the spacing for now.

[foreverfan]

hi thanx i have spacing and i found another solution which i added

I'm stuck in what seems to be a common place with this mod. I can't effect a change to the CSS file that changes the background colors of the child menu. (I need the gray to be darker)

I've tried changing the maximenuH_CK.php file but it's like it's not even the right file. no changes are happening even when I change hight and obvious parameters.

Hi freeclup,

This doesn't work for me can you plz explain elaborate.

hi its all i know

In the first tutorial on using the MaxiMenu extension, I've explained how you can add a megamenu to your Joomla-powered site. Now let's build on this knowledge by adding columns to present rows of hyperlinks within the megamenu.
Why use columns?

Using a megamenu enables you to show your web site visitor many related navigation options in just one click. If you want to present menu options as clearly as possible, it’s a good idea to use columns within your megamenu. To see what this effect looks like, here’s how I decided to order the menu links under the Joomla books menu item on my website.

In this example, three columns are used:
The first columns shows introductory information on this menu item (‘Books on Joomla 1.6 and 2.5’).
The second column shows all books under the Joomla 1.6 heading (actually, it’s just one book, but we won’t let that fact spoil our columnar fun).
The third column contains a Joomla 2.5 heading and shows links about the book on Joomla 2.5.

Example: creating three columns
How do you achieve the menu layout shown above using MaxiMenu? To see how this structure is constructed in the Joomla backend, let’s have a look at the menu items under Menus > Main Menu. Here you can see how I've added codes to the Menu Titles to indicate where MaxiMenu should start rendering a new column.

To create a structure like the one shown above, these are the steps involved:

To indicate the start of the first column, in the Menu Manager, create (or edit) the first 2nd level menu link. In the Menu Title field, add a [col=<width>] code to indicate the starting point and width (in pixels) of the column. In this example, the first menu item already consists of a code [modid=97]: it's not just an ordinary menu link, but it's a Custom HTML module shown within the menu (as described in the previous part of this tutorial). After the [modid=97] code, I’ve added the code [col=160], indicating a MaxiMenu column with a width of 160 pixels should start here.

It’s important to note that you could add this [col=<width>] code to any kind of menu link: in this case it’s a Text Separator used to make MaxiMenu display a module, but it could also be any other type of menu link, such as a link to an article.

To indicate the start of the second column, edit the Menu Title of the menu link that should become the first link in the second column and add a similar code here. In this case, I’ve added [col=170] to create a column that’s 170 pixels wide:

To indicate the start of the third column, add a similar code in Menu Title field of the menu link that will become the first link in this column. In this example, I’ve again added [col=170] to create a column that’s 170 pixels wide:

In this example, the result looks as shown in the screenshot below:

Of course, this is just one example of the way you can use columns and add lists of links to one single main menu item. This approach can be much more useful on content-rich sites, where you want to display an overview of related contents in columns or lists. Go ahead and experiment!
