2 new menus ... but each with a different class ... why?

[dsdsdsdsd]

hello;

I have created two menus. One has a class of "module" (+ the class suffix of '_menu'). But the other has a class of "moduletable" ( + the class suffix of '_menu').

I do not know why the second menu ended up with moduletable. I have already set the css for the 'module' (+ '_menu'), and I want joomla to naturally apply that same style to my new menu.

any ideas please.

Check the code for the module position in the template, I suspect you'll see there's a difference in the "style" attributes there...

Make them both like the one that works for you

ranwilli, thanks for responding.

I went into the template's index.php and found:

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-7" style="rounded" /> ... which is where the main menu is.

and

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-3" style="xhtml" /> ... which is where the new menu is.

Unfortunately I cannot test what happens if I make changes now, as I have replaced the default joomla menus with a 3rd party accordian menu.

However surely this issue will come up again. So the 2 lines of code that I showed you ... is that what you were referring to?

- thanks.

Precisely, but there's no reason not to make the change.

ranwilli, I guess I was expecting to find class = "module" and class = "moduletable" in those snippets.

but instead it was style ="blah"

does the style attribute here get parsed by the joomla framework during joomla-compile-time or possibly load-time?

what exactly does the var/val pair style='rounded' do?

- thanks for your time.
