Menu levels

Every time I create a new menu item on the main menu it shows. How do you hide the submenu? I notice in the demo it uses both and I've already foolishly deleted the sample menu to see which class is used to hide until mouseover.

Every time I create a new menu item on the main menu it shows. How do you hide the submenu? I notice in the demo it uses both and I've already foolishly deleted the sample menu to see which class is used to hide until mouseover.

Like to know it too!
I don't want the subitems to show, only when hovering.

So I have HOME, with subitems.
At the moment the subitems are directly visible.
I only want HOME to be seen, and when I mouseover I want the subitems to be shown.

The menu is constructed to display 1st and 2nd level - the 3rd level is displayed in the popup. Changing of this behaviour needs changes in the menu CSS and in the menu script. If you want to simulate only one level displayed, then I recommend to create under the "Home" 2nd level menu item with text i.e. "Subpages", "Check these pages" or sth similar and then put the 3rd level menu items with content

Or more hack way: put first level menu item as External URL menu item with name "Skip to menu", put using our menu plugin additional class to this menu item "gk-hidden-menu", then put "Home" as a 2nd level menu item and then your content in the 3rd level. Next, you have to create additional CSS in the menu.css file at the end:

Code: Select all

.gk-hidden-menu > a {
display: none!important;
}

It should hide the first level menu item and it will emulate 2-level menu with 3-level menu

Thanks for the hack but it is not working for me.
Have a look here: www.madonnafanclub.nl.
It still shows the Skip the menu.

See your the parameters for the Skip the menu item:

I've changed the code to:

Code: Select all

.gk-hidden-menu > a {
display: none!important;
}

and then it should works fine

Cool, now it works!
But I do have another question.
If I follow my link-item the URL is this
http://www.madonnafanclub.nl/2013-02-04-18-07-10/links
That dateformat comes from the Skip to menu item... can I get rid of that?
I want the url to be http://www.madonnafanclub.nl/links

Please try to create a hidden menu where you will place an alias to the "links" link with alias set as "links"

Hi dzuduek,

Thanks for all your help but I find it all a bit 'too much'....
Isn't there an easier way to make the menu work as mentioned in the first post?

Level 1 items shows, level 2 and 3 only with mouseover.
You mentioned something about adjusting the menu CSS and menu script.
Maybe Gavick can provide them? I think a lot of people would like the menu to worklike akamike and I described....

Hope you guys can help!

@gjhvs - please read the whole topic - all code is here

You can also wait for the nearest update which will contain an option to change the menu behaviour

OK, thanks, I will wait for the udpate

Any idea/clue when the update is coming? I'm looking forward to it!

Kind regards!

Most probably the nearest update will be released at the nearest Monday but it can be delayed 1-2 days.

OK! That's soon, I like that

Thanks again for your quick reply's!

The way this menu is setup is for lack of a better term "Goofy". I do not understand the logic behind building a menu tree like this at all. Even if if was setup with the parameters like you show here (and thanks for that) the breadcrumbs and the links are going to be funky and make no sense at all. The designer needs to have full control of how the menu structure is used (not the developer)!

This is a great template but unless the menu structure is redesigned the way normal navigation has always worked I guarantee no one is going to like it. Microsoft does things like this to destroy the design, developers should not be like those morons and make things more complex than they already are. IMHO...

@earthrat - did you checked the latest version of this template? We have added an option to change menu layout (based on the users opinion), so problem doesn't exists no more. In the future please check the latest template version, before you will start unnecessary discussion.

Thanks that does work but I wold like to add it is impossible to know if I have the latest version since there is no versioning in the download area. I try not to waste your bandwidth or mine downloading for no good reason and there was no way to know if this had been updated looking at it in the download area. At least nothing I could see indicated it was updated.

Updates are listed here: https://www.gavick.com/updates.html and our templates in our download section are always in the latest version.

Thanks dziudek, its just one more step to take that I don't have time for. Would be great to just see the version on the download page but this will work...

Hi there,
Regarding Menu Levels, please take a look:

http://dentemais.com.br/j25/

The 1st menu is the Template Menu under Theme / Menu / Show Template Menu / ON
The onmouseover opens the 2nd level on item SERVIÇOS on the right, that´s perfect.

The 2nd menu is the module positioned under INSET position.
I just want to know if it´s possible to have the same effect of the 1st levels of this 2nd menu (background turns Blue) - and then show the 2nd level as the menu above.

Regards
Lucas

Unfortunately it is not possible, because the first menu is used as a template main menu and have other styling and scripts. The only solution is merging these menus.
