submenu don't appear in certain pages

Hello,
I can't find out why sublevels of my menus do not appear in some circunstances.
See the website http://www.surfingfrance.com
You can see the third level menus
Federation
> Presentation
>> Mission
>> Historique
>> ...

But if you go on the Contact page : http://www.surfingfrance.com/infos/contactez-nous.html
Nothing is displayed under the second level for
Federation > Présentation
and
Fédération > Formation
But still ok for other items of this meu Federation...

Who can explain me where the problem is?
The html code shows all sublevels but mouseover action do not trigger the menu.

Please, could yo help ?
Thanks
Phil

Hi

Submenu works for me in both examples. Have You fixed it already or is it happening only in some browsers. I was checking with Safari and FF.

Hello,

Yes the do disappear
I'm on PC, but I've tested with 3 browsers.

I attached 2 pix here, made with Chrome/PC

The first where you can see the third level menu (on homepage)
The second where the same third level menu do not appear (on contact page)

Hi

I've borrowed a laptop and it's still visible under WIn7 Chrome and IE. Please try contact me on Skype: teitbite

I'll check that on Your computer while sharing screen. Please make sure You have kind of a dev tool installed under the browser this problem is visible.

Hi,

I sent you a PM with my Skype info, I just can't to get in touch with you

Thanks

Hi

I do not have Your PM, but I remember activating You on my skype. Please just talk to me there talk to me there. If I'll be online I'll answer.

Hi

Finally we met and fixed it with this code:

Code: Select all

#gkDropSub ul li:hover > ul {
    left: auto !important;
}


Hello,

After research, I've found the problem for the validation error you indicated me.
A closing span was missing is the template file layouts/blocks/footer.php
In fact, there was a opened <span> at line 16 that don't have any closing one, so I erased this <span>, and the validation error was gone.
Fine.

BUT... I have stil a problem with the dropline menu.
The class "active" should be applied on any first level element of the main menu. But it' doesn't
On some element of the main menu ("Equipe de France" and "Ecoles") the active class is not activated when mouse is over and... the submenu in the dropline does not appear.

I think it's maybe a bug as every menus are build the same way.
Thanks for your help

Hi

The issue You have mentioned about footer is not present in clean template package. Are You sure it's not coming from other modifications ? Anyway I still can see the HTML tag issue:

Error: No p element in scope but a p end tag seen.

From line 262, column 149; to line 262, column 152
/></form></p>

This little </p> has been fixed now, but it's not the problem, because if you are on that page http://www.surfingfrance.com/infos/qual ... risme.html
the 'active' class doe not activate on mouseover for the last 3 menu items.

And sorry to confirm but the template itself does have a unclosed span tag in the footer has you can see here :
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ne&group=0

Line 1032, Column 7: Unclosed element span.
<span>

Hi

You are right about the bug. Programmers probably didn't update the demo, but I do not have this error listed on my copy of newest quickstart version. I'll report this to them.

I see this class issue, but the code I gave You previously is making it acting as it should. I believe this bug can be related with a javascript conflict than if a validation issue I was blaming before is fixed now. This will be very hard to find so if the css solution is working fine for You than I would leave it this way. If not than You will need to unpublish extention after extention till this start to work as expected. Than the last extension unpublished will be to blame for this conflict.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.
I tried to disable all modules on a copy of the website, and the js class problem is still there.
Please, have a look here :
http://ffs.a51.fr/index.php?option=com_ ... Itemid=263

Your css fix is ok for the third level menus, and I thank you.
But here we can see a problem on second level menus, the ones which should appear in the dropline.
When the mouse is over the last three main menu items (gkDropMainxxx), the corresponding gkDropSubxxx do not inherit of "active" class.

If you nedd so, I can create you an admin account on this joomla website

Hello again,

I think I've found something really interesting.
The problem seems to come from the dropline menu js when third level menu items are present.

My test:
1/ I've unpublished all third level menu items of the menu "Fédération" (the only one that contain these third menus level)
Everything was ok! No more problem on the following menu item "Equipe de France"...

2/ I re-published only one third level menu item in the "Federation" menu and bang again, the following menu does not activate submenu anymore.

So please, contact me in order to test together, or I can give you access to admin if you prefer.
Thanks

Please add the additional SPAN element in file layouts/blocks/footer.php line 17 right after the closing IF statement like here :

Code: Select all

<?php endif; ?></span>

Please add the additional SPAN element...

Yes, we have seen that little fix, but it is not the origin of the dropline menu problem

As I said in my last message, dropline menus are buggy when third level items are published.
I am at your disposal to test the behavior on the development url : http://ffs.a51.fr/

Thanks for your help

Hmm... I've checked your site, see the only one menu item with 3rd level. I've clicked this menu item and see the submenu like on image here >> http://d.pr/i/SoVz could you tell me what is wrong here ?

Thanks for your feedback. I'll try to explain again where the problem is exactly

The problem is not located on third level items but on the first level items
The main menu of my website contains first level items which have all submenus (2nd level items), except the "Contact" item.

- Everything is ok for submenus of Actualité - Compétition and Fédération
- As you have seen the 1st level item "Fédération" contains also a 3rd level item (Missions as we can see on you screenshot)
- But... we can't see second level items of Equipe De France and Écoles in the dropline when mouse is over those two items

If I unpublish the third level item "Missions", then, everything get back to normal: we can see the second level items for Equipe De France and Écoles in the dropline

So, I notice that if I activate third level items in Féderation when the mouse is over the following first level item "Equipe de France" (which have a id="gkDropMainxxx"), the corresponding gkDropSubxxx do not inherit of "active" class.

Hope I am clear enough as english is not my native language

Could you contact with me via PM and provide me FTP access to your site ? Please remember to include link to this forum topic.
