Menu structure problem

[vytraas]

Hello there!

I have a serious problem with the main menu system nearly every free template uses. If I click on a main menu item which has subitems, the menu indents the sub-elements. But, when I click on a subelement, the whole submenu "indents back" to the left side, so it is impossible to distinguish which is a main level item and which is a subelement of the recently clicked main level item.
Can anybody help me in this problem?
Thanks.

Could you please send us an example URL so we can actually see the problem and give you an advice how it could be fixed?

I have the same problem, if you check this URL and choose siteground-j15-23 you se that "Whats new in 1.5?" is no more indented.

Hello,

Could you please PM me with details for your Joomla admin area, so I cna check how content items are categorized?

I'm not sure if this have to something with content items, i seen this with some siteground templates, and some is ok.

I'v seen it on my site, and several demosites....

I checked this with the designer of this specific template and he informed me that this is how the template was designed and this is how the parent topics are intended to be alligned. This isn't a bug.

Okay, so this is not a bug... but I want the submenu to stay indented myself. Is there anyway to work around this design and make the menu stay indented???

Thanks!

i had the same issue with the latinogirl template and managed to fix it by changing one of the elines in the template.css. the former was alterd to be the latter and for the latinogirl template it works perfectly. i would imaging for different templated you would need to make the pixel size larger or smaller

/*CURRENT SUBMENU POSITION*/
#leftcolumn ul.menu li ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

/*CURRENT SUBMENU POSITION*/
#leftcolumn ul.menu li ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 0 12px;
}

The tip from DarrenT can't help me
It have modified nothing :(

As noted above, that's how most of our templates were designed to be working and is not really a bug. It is just that the menu items does not align differently as submenu, even if they are submenu items.

Please make sure that you have edited the CSS file as shown above, since this is really the correct way to push the section a bit further.
