Showmenu2 - CSS/Styling

[Argos]

You can also use 2 menu's: the main with showmenu2, and the second by using a childpages droplet and floating the links left in a centered container.

I sort of got it working, but a few little bugs;

1. Not positioned in the center of the page
2. Seems first link is left out? maybe because of positioning
3. Submenu links are on top of each other.

Can anyone help me out with these?

I worked it out - SM2_NUMCLASS

Ok, the submenu UL that gets outputted by showmenu doesn't have a class name set, where can I set it?

Here are 2 possible solutions for you:

On the other hand we do have some Templates with DropDown Menues available at the add-on repository ...

Awesome, The second one looks like it will be the winner. Will give it a go and see how it goes!

G'day Guys,

Have been using WB for a long time and loving it, I've just redone my layout and doing the final touches at the moment, but have run into a brick wall getting a submenu with showmenu2 working how I want it.

I have tried looking at old threads here and the showmenu docs with no avail

Basically it is just a Horizontal Text Nav, so;

Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3 | Link 4

some of these links/pages are parents and have a further page under them, and when one of these links/pages is opened it lists it's child pages. It does so immediately after the parent link, like this;

Link 1 | Link 1 Child | Link 1 Child | Link 2 | Link 3 | Link 4

I want to make the child links appear below the main links on the next line, preferably aligned with the parent. But haven't been able to make it happen. I can't get it any where near how I want it.

The showmenu2 code;

Code Select Expand

<div id="subMenu">
           
           <BR /><?php show_menu2(2, SM2_ROOT, SM2_START+1, SM2_TRIM,' | <li class="[class]">[a][menu_title]</a>', '</li>', '<ul class="[class]"', '</ul>', '[a][menu_title]</a>'); ?><BR />
 
           </div>

The current CSS;

Code Select Expand

.menu-current {
color:#FFFFFF;
font-weight:bold;
}

.menu-current a {
background: #2d2d2d;
}

.menu-child {
/* position:absolute; */
}

.menu-child a {
background:none;
}

.menu-top li {
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
}

.menu-top {
line-height:20px;

}

.menu-top ul li a {
padding: 2px 4px 2px 4px;
margin: 0px;
color: #dd6900;
}    

.menu-top ul li a:hover {
color: #FF9900;
padding: 2px 4px 2px 4px;
margin: 0px;
text-decoration: none;
}

.menu-top ul li a:active {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}


If anyone can guide me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael
