Custom Menu at Top of Page - Can phpWcms do this?

[jsw_nz]

Hi Guys

I know Oliver wrote a horizontal menu (top drill-down) option that works fine...

However I came across a menu system that uses image rollovers for the first tier of links
and then a standard show/hide script on ul li subcategories. Is there any straightforward
way to pull this off....ie can modification to Oliver's style sheets accomplish this....

Nowadays:

Knuts little help for anything. Perhaps the newer Nav_lis_ul may do the same, this one is worked out clearly. Rest is CSS only.

This one is working very well and will serve your purpose perfectly
I have used it my own several times...
But http://www.phpwcms-howto.de/wiki/doku.p ... parameters will do even "more perfectly" (it has a div wrapper for ul)

thanks guys for the link to Knut's RT !

- what I need to know before starting to 'understand' the RT code....
- will this support images in first row - as pictured in this link:

Got to believe there is a way to apply background img to <a> tags in first row
- then using standard rollover to reposition and show 'highlight' - (css image rollover)
- the rest of the menu would be css only - yes - so images would be possible on first row
- using Knut's amazing RT - your advice.... ?


cheers

There is no image and no RT necessary.

Your menu can be done with pure CSS these days. Forget to use graphics in the way you think about it. The NAV_LIST_UL is perfect for your needs. It's pretty easy.

Check, you can have separate classes for each structure level item if you like to have different colors and so on.

Use CSS border-radius and fallback right top corner background image for <IE9. @font-face should be used for the custom font.

Thanks Oliver

I will look into it - using @font-face again - the simpler the better - thanks again

thanks to all who chimed in - so nice to see support is still very strong and 'nearly immediate' here on the great phpwcms forums
