Hi,
I need a second menu that looks the same as the main menu.
When I'm creating a new menu, (position: mainbody-bottom) it is a box-menu.
Where can I change the properties for the modul, so that the new menu looks as the main menu.

Thanks for every help!

Hi

Gk Menu doesn't use any module position. It's part of the template framework and there's no way to replicate it, except if you duplicate the template (joomla 2.5 allows this option), create a new menu and set this new menu as the one for the duplicated template.
But for this to happen, you will need to create a link on the menu of the first template that will be assign to the duplicated template.

Confused ?! :P
It's just playing with joomla features.

Thanks for the answer.
But is there no way to change the menu properties for a menu in the module mainbody bottom?
The footermenu has an different look. when i use the footermenu in the module mainbody-bottom, it looks the same as my new menu.
Maybe I can change the css for the mainbody-bottom, so that the css for the main menu is used?
Thanks!!!

Sure.

Please enable the use of css override on template parameters > advanced settings.
Them try adding this lines on ../css/override.css file.

Code: Select all
.box_menu.flat .content {overflow:hidden}
.box_menu.flat .menu li {float: left;line-height: 11px;   margin-right: 20px;width: auto;
border: none!important;}


Now publish mod_menu on "mainbody_bottom" position and add the following suffix on "Module Class Suffix":

"_menu[space]flat"

It should look like this:

Hey,
Thank you so much for your answer!

My problem is now, that I deleted mod_menu unfortunatly :angry:
I tried it with the example menu, but it didn't worked.

isn't it possible, that i just write a css just for that module? and how can assign the css to that module?

Best Regards!!

If you didn't uninstall mod_menu (actually not a very good idea) and you just delete the existing ones, you can create a new one on extensions manager.
That's no problem at all ;)

Hey,

so I looked in the extension manager, but I didn't get the mod_menu created.
I'm kind of a noob in Joomla and english isn't my mother tongue, so I'm sorry if I'm a bit slow in understanding!
Is it necessary to use the mod_menu?

and how is it with an own css just for the modul mainbody_bottom? I guess this would be a great solution.
i just could make the hover, visited, active etc. like in the main menu.

Very Best Regards!!!
