Top menu in bState

[bafy7]

Hi,

I cannot position my main menu horizontally along the top, as you do in you on your demo page:

http://joomla15.siteground.com/?template=siteground-j15-28

In the backend, if you goto module manager > Main menu (or any menu for that matter) you are only given the choice of two positions: left and right ( and the right position doesn't work for that matter). When you use the default template 'rhuk_milkyway' you have a much larger choice of menu positions and for this template user3 positions the menu along the top.

I can only imagine that:

1. either the template isn't finished and has a few ommissions
2. I need a specific module to implement the top horizontal bar
3. I've missed something

I'd really like to use this template for developing our intranet.

Using Joomla 1.5.2 on my own development server.

Otherwise, thanks for creating a very useful resource in keeping with open source principles,

Bernie

Hi Bernie
Difficult to say without looking at the template files, but it sounds to me like the menu needs a Module Class Suffix. For example, you may need to enter "topnav" to make the menu display horizontally.

Hope this helps

Costa,

thanks for your response. _topnav as a Module Class Suffix didn't do it but an interesting lead. I shall scour the forums with this approach in mind,

This is the relevant part of the template.

<div id="logo">
<a href="index.php"><?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('sitename') ;?></a>
</div>
<div class="pill_m">
<div id="pillmenu">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user3" />
</div>
</div>

You have to add '_pill_m' as a Module Class Suffix and manually type 'user3' in the position drop down list, and then it works! Thanks you. Also, learnt something and understand templates a little more.

Hi

Glad you got it working. I just had a look at the template and I put in the same parameters as the original top menu, ie., user3, menu class suffix _nav and got the same result.

Cheers

I'm using template siteground-j15-24 and got a similar problem.

But since i'm just starting to use Joomla, I cannot find where to make the needed changes to get a 2nd menu working.

This is the HTML that shows:
<td class="pill_m">
<div id="pillmenu">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user3" />
</div>
</td>

Do I also need to add '_pill_m' as a Module Class Suffix? And where do I do this?
And where do I manually type 'user3' in the position drop down list? Can I do these things in the admin panel?

Thanks in advance.

This template doesn't allow using submenu in topmenu.

Where is module user3? How do we modify the pillmenu links on top?

Thanks for you help.
