I purchased a template that is using Maxi Menu CK and I installed it without to much of an issue but the problem is that I can't figure out how to make the active page menu item hide the associated image. I'm not sure how to describe that correctly so I am going to try again. Each top level menu item has an associated image in the menu bar that is hidden until the user hovers over it and then the image is displayed. However this isn't happening for the active menu. The active page image is ALWAYS showing. For instance if I am on the home page, the home image on the menu is not hidden and is it isn't a small picture so it gets in the way. On the demo for the template it is hidden until the user hovers, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I have looked at the .php file that i think I am supposed to be looking at, but that wasn't much help since I'm not that familiar with options, etc. Any help would be terrific! Here is the live demo of the template if you would like to see how the menu works. http://www.templatemonster.com/demo/32470.html.

I found a work around for my issue where the images on the active page were not hiding until hoverage occurred, but only on the home page. I assigned the home menu to a different menu that is disabled. Instead I am using a home page button elsewhere on the page. It seems there must be a better way than this. It took me all day to figure out how to change this behavior.

Now my current issue is that I can only display one image on all the menu items. I want a different one for each. I see in the php code that there is code for 4 different images and they are uploaded but there must be something that I am not doing in order for them to display. I don't know much about php other than to look at it in a tharn-like manner. Any help?

Hi

I am using maximenuCK on the whole it's been relatively easy to work out how to implement collumns, include moduels etc. I have a couple of questions though:

1. how to implement rounded effect ?
2. How to include a 5px gap between the item description and the 1px border underneath it in the child block.

Any ideas welcome,

regards,
Toby

In fact looking at the joomla.com website (where the maximenuCK is used) I can see that they have styled the css so there is a 3px (or so) gap between the description element and the dotted line. It is this 3px gap I am looking for. The problem is that the styling seems split between both the css and php files.

Any help appreciated.

yes all gap and styling have to be done by you, in your template css file, or easier in the maximenuH_CK.php file for horizontal menu (it is a php file with css code inside).
Just play with these css to obtain what you are looking for (rounded effect too, look on my website joomlack.fr I have themes that have rounded style)

Thanks for reply, can you tell me which piece of CSS to change to get the underline (on linkdescription) to drop by 3px or so ?

regards,
Toby

hey,

My menu shows up behind all my other modules on my site: www.piexy.com. I've tried to increase the z-index but its still behind everything else (other than my page background).

Does anyone know what I can do to change this?

thanks

Are you using the template CSS rather than the menu css ? And if so what happens if you switch to using the maxi menu css ? I'm wondering if you have to change the z-index of your menu module position rather than that of the maxi menu.

Hey Tobypsl,

I'm using the menu CSS. The z-index is now at 3000. Should I perhaps put it higher?

yes it seems that fpss slider have an issue with this configuration. Try to give z-index and positon:relative; to the container of the slider.try also with another template (rhuk milyway or beez20) because it's an artisteer one and it may cause some conflict

well, I've posted several times on this forum about my problems with Maxi Menu and I haven't gotten any response. If anyone can provide help that would be terrific. Let me know if there is some information that I am not providing that would help. I am new to joomla and php so forgive me if some of the things would be obvious to anyone else.

The site I am working on (in dev) is http://piposart.cloudaccess.net .
Here are the problems I am having:

1) I bought a template and have managed to modify it pretty well except that the demo template showed different images assigned for each menu item and I cannot figure out what I haven't done right to make them different.

2) WHen I first installed the template, the sub menus were showing when a user hovered over the menu options. But once I deleted the default articles, the sub menus dissappeared. I've created new sub-menus and articles linked to them, but they do not show up on the site under the main menu options.

please help, thanks.

please give a screenshot of your menu structure in the menu manager.
Test also with another template like rhuk milkyway or beez20 to see if it works

Hi guys,

I've MaxiMenuCK installed, module enabled and published.

I want to have multicolumn menus. I have added the parameter [cols2] in parent menu title ....
... BUT the multicolumn feature doesn't work for me. :(

My Website is using Joomla 1.5.23
http://www.vizszintmero.hu
The horizontal menu I want to be multicolumn: "Felszíni víz > Mélységintegráló víz- és lebegtetett hordalék mintavevők > 2 columns: US DH-2 ..., USDH48 ... | US DH-59 ..., US DH-76 ..."

What is the solution for the above problem?
Could you help me please? Any Ideas?

Kind regards,

Sandor

@hadensandor - did you add the [col] separator menu item type to your menu?

Your menu should be like this...

Parent Menu Item[cols2]
- Child Item 1
- Child Item 2
- Child Item 3
- [col]
- Child Item 4
- Child Item 5

hadensador should have said that his issue is now solved :)
the menu structure was wrong and it had to remove the position:absolute; on UL elements in the CSS

Would someone be able to tell me how to set the height of the MaxiMenu horizontal mainmenu? I am using Afterburner for 1.6 (RT) and my install has the height at 34px, making the text links sit high in the navbar. I can't figure out where to change that main height setting.

Thanks,
Geoff

hi
the 34px height can be modified in the file maximenuH_CK.php (for horizontal menu), at the beginning applied to <ul>

Hey I've previously posted a request on how to change my sub-menu's to show and not hide behind my virtuemart shop pages. I've made the relevant changes you suggested (changing z-index to : relative) but its still hiding. Can you please help me change this?

I'm using the whiteol theme.

I've changed all the z-index to : relative in both the default and whiteol theme moo_maximenuH_CK.css files. Is there another file I should make the changes to?

please help!

Ok, guys.

I solved my first question myself. Here's another one.

I need to add icons to my sub menu items (along with the text). How do I do that? I can't find any documentation on that.

When I've done that I want to use my own icons so I guess I gotta upload those to a dir of some sort.

Any help?

I am having problems with creating a verticle menu. The sub menu items simply do no show up. The first level item shows an arrow indicating that the child items exist but they do not pop up. I am using the Beez template so nothing special there. I tried the menu with another site on another server with the same module parameters, and it does work. What am I missing. Mootools conflict? Server issue (hostmonster)?

I purchased a Joomla template that uses Maxi Menu. I need to know where the colors are defined. I have read through this entire thread and it seems that everyone says something like "it is in the CSS file" or "it is in the maximenuH_CK.php" file. However, there are several instances of both of these types of files throughout the Joomla directory on my server - some /modules/mod_maximenu_CK, some /templates/theme###/css/themes/default/css and some in other places it seems. I am pretty sure I have checked them all and I cannot find this ugly peach color! Can anyone tell me EXACTLY where the style is set? I am sure it is easy...just need to know the location of the file or at least a definitive name. Sorry I am very new to this. Thank you in advance for your help.

Okay. I slept on this issue and had a brain-blast this morning. For all you newbies like me, you might want to get a little program called Seeker. I officially have a new favorite program! I had spent literally hours searching for this ugly color in every logical file of the Joomla website. Within seconds Seeker had searched over the 4000+ files and found the color profile! A real lifesaver! [url]http://www.veign.com/application.php?appid=104[url]

BTW: The file was located /templates/theme###/css/themes/default/css/maximenuH_CK.php (If you are using the vertical version the file would be maximenuV_CK.php)

Another issue SOLVED! Now on to the next discovery! :D

I have installed the maximenu CK on a website and i have a couple of problems:

First one is with the language since i wanna display greek in the menu and the module doesn't recognise them.

Second is that i wanna change the position of the titles displayed on the menu (they are displayed on top and i want them to the center) but i havent figured out from where i can manage this out.


Thanks for your help.

I have another active post regarding Maxi Menu, but I am desperate and need an answer. It seems that there is an IE8 bug that I can't figure out with regards to using images as the main navigation instead of text. In Firefox and even IE7 this not an issue, but in IE8 my entire navigation structure breaks apart after the 3rd Image Link.

Here is my url... http://www.immigrationlinks.com/test-page

When you use IE8 the Menu structure is a disaster and then push the Compatibility Button (IE7) the structure is fine. The drop down menus do move to the right, but they are all in tact.

Please help.

Thanks.

BTW . I just added this code for a temporary fix
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
But I would like to know what CSS is needed so it doesn't need it.

In blank site: http://klienci.maniowy.net/jupgrade i have setup for two columns but it does not work. I'm using plugin Maximenu_CK params for generate columns but it does not showing anything but the column title.

Menu structure:
Start
-1 (first column)
--1-1
--1-1 (2)
--1-1 (3)
-2 (second column)

Positions 1-1, 1-1 (2), 1-1(3) are not showing up. But they are in page code.
