{NAV_HORIZ_DD:ID,Level depth} (NAVi HORIZontal Drop Down)

[birdboot]

Why you don´t redirect to a second "home" like this:

+ root
++ Home
...

Is this the only solution here? Has anyone come up with a better one? I think it would be best to just have your real 'home' appear in the nav, as the first item on the left hand end of the bar.

Hi,

at this moment it isn´t possible to have a parent output with the {NAV_HORIZ_DD:ID}.
I will have a closer look next days to solve this problem.

A quick solution without active state for an output of the real HOME.
Template:

Code: Select all

<div id="menu_container"><ul id="pmenu_home"><li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li></ul>
{NAV_HORIZ_DD:0}</div>

CSS:

Code: Select all

#pmenu, #pmenu ul, 
#pmenu_home, #pmenu_home ul  { ....

#pmenu a, #pmenu a:visited, 
#pmenu_home a, #pmenu_home a:visited { ....

#pmenu li, 
#pmenu_home li { ....

#pmenu li:hover,
#pmenu_home li:hover { ....

#pmenu li:hover > a,
#pmenu_home li:hover > a { ....

* html #pmenu li a:hover, 
* html #pmenu_home li a:hover { ....

#pmenu li a:active, #pmenu li a:focus,
#pmenu_home li a:active, #pmenu_home li a:focus { ....

Knut, you're a legend. That's great. Thanks!!.

Another question here. How do I get long text strings in the submenu items to wrap elegantly? At the moment they wrap but the new line seems to be a new paragraph. It aligns all the way to the left of the box (ignoring the text-indent: 5px), and is too far below the first line - like a <p> instead of a </br> . See what I mean at http://woodpile.freehostia.com/index.php. I want it to look more like the text in the menus at http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/final_drop.html. I'm sure there's a simple CSS fix for this. Anyone know?

Birdboot,
Text indent is used to indent only the first line of a paragraph - like you would in a written letter. Try using padding.

e.g. like this:

Code: Select all

    #pmenu a, #pmenu a:visited, #pmenu_home a, #pmenu_home a:visited  {
       ..........
       height: auto;      /* ORG 25px */      
       line-height: 1em;  /* ORG 24px (one less than height)*/
       text-decoration: none;
       /*text-indent: 5px;*/
       padding: 5px 0 4px 5px;
       .........}

Have not tested in IE!!

@daniel and flip-flop
Thanks, this fixes things well enough for now. I just wish I could get the rows of text closer, with less vertical space between them.

Mhh, have you tested this workaround?
And please have a closer look into css syntax. If you made a page you cant live without css knowledge.

hmmm, I have one question (maybe silly one)...

I had made structure like this:
home
+page1
++page1.1
+page2
++page2.1
++page2.2
+page3
++etc
+page4
++etc
+page5

With this structure {NAV_HORIZ_DD:ID} menu are working great.

Problem comes when I insert completely new language, like this:

Home

+language1
++page1
+++page1.1
++page2
+++page2.1
+++page2.2
++page3
+++etc
++page4
+++etc
++page5

+language2
++page1
+++page1.1
++page2
+++page2.1
+++page2.2
++page3
+++etc
++page4
+++etc
++page5

Now I got only this: |language1|language2|. It is ok on home page (index.php), but at lower levels it is not ok.
What I need is that {NAV_HORIZ_DD:ID} show me just the current language structure (for example {NAV_HORIZ_DD:1} instead of {NAV_HORIZ_DD:0}).
I have put {NAV_HORIZ_DD:1} in my template, but it is not working.
Tried also to put category alias, but not working also...
I'm desperate

What to do?

Thanks

[update]

You wrote it yourself already, I think:
{NAV_HORIZ_DD:ID} where ID = id of lang1 or lang2. Give it a try (first check ids )

A I said before, this is maybe silly question...
Well I thought it can be answer like that, and tried to find ID number of my Language1 and Language2, but without success.
Can you give me guidlines where to search....

Thanks

You go to your articles in backend (or to the site structure in admin), do a hover over the little icon beneath langusge1 and then you should get a little text field displaying something like "ID: 11" or so. That's all I hope...
