Greetings.

I've recently moved from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 1.7.2 and noticed that menus don't have the option to choose orientation... The vertical list is good for side menus, but I want to use a bottom menu where elements are displayed horizontally. On Joomla 1.5 that was done using the administrative panel, so how do I do this on Joomla 1.7.2?

Thanks folks!

Please upgrade to Joomla 2.5 because Joomla 1.7 has a known security leak.

Regarding the orientation, I assume this is/was an option in the Template Manager? Have you upgraded your template to be compatible with the version of Joomla you're using?

Thanks, Thetjo.

The hosting company which I use, does not allow to use other versions of Joomla except the 1.7.2 that they offer as a package. You click a button and this Joomla version is automatically installed, but if you try to upload via FTP any other version, it fails to run in the end. I assume the template manager is compatible because even if this Joomla gets installed in localhost, doesn't give the choice of orientation for menus.

I've created a menu module called bottomMenu, a menu with several pages and elected to show it in the BOTTOM position of the template. Now, if the options in the menu builder don't show orientation for elements, my guess is that I have to correct this directly at the CSS, right?

Assign a class to the Bottom menu module position in the template index.php.

In your main CSS file, try the following

.yourclass li {
display: inline;
(other padding and styling elements after)
}

or the following combo

.yourclass ul {
list-style-type: none
}

.yourclass li {
float: left;
(other styling elements here)
}

Hope that helps, those are the methods I use. The menu won't drop down, but it is a basic horizontal menu.

Every Joomla 1.6/1.7 site can be hacked in just a couple of minutes, please tell your hosting company to get their act together and offer the very latest version of Joomla in their packages.
