TechNews for Joomla : Header customization

Hello,
I am looking for help to accomplish the following:

1 - Set the search field located in the navigation bar to stay open all the time (no need to click on the icon)

2 - Set the top login form and the footer popup menu to disappear when I click on an empty space on the screen (no need to click on the login icon a second time to close the form if I decide not to login anymore)

3 - I have set a menu with multiple columns in the sub menu level that is being displayed outside of the page area (see the attached screenshot). How can I move the sub menu to the right or where the main menu itself starts?

Please note that area related to each question is indicated in the attached image.

Thank you very much for help.

I’m afraid that modifications such as this require extensive changes to the theme’s code; I do apologize but such large changes are custom work that are beyond the scope of our technical support.

Thank you Teitbite for your answer. I can understand if you say that two of my questions are custom modification (and this is the reason I thought asking for help in the forum could be a good thing...) but, what about the problem with the menu? This one is not modification, it's a problem with the css code of the menu itself. All I did is using the GK Extended menu features to create a mega menu. Does that mean I should not go over two or three columns?

Thank you for helping,

Ernst.

Hi

3. Submenu is being displayed aligned right or left to its parent element, depending which side the more will fit. I may try to force it use align with page border, but will need an url to Your site, since it's only for specific situation as on Your website.

Please tell me the url to Your site.

Hello Teibite,

Is there a restriction on sending PM to you, I sent the URL but the message does not leave my Outbox.
Please provide guidance.

I would like to keep my URL private as I am developing the website.

Thank you,
Ernst.

Hi

I think my box is filled up. Please send it to my mail [email protected]

Hi

Please add this code to override.css and make sure override is enabled in template settings.

Code: Select all

#gkHeaderNav .gkMainMenu .gkmenu > li div.childcontent {
    margin-left: 0 !important;
}


this will remove the small gap on left side, but if You wish to change positioning of a submenu with multicolumn do this:

Code: Select all

#gkHeaderNav .gkMainMenu .gkmenu {
    position: static;
}

#gkHeaderNav .gkMainMenu .gkmenu > li:nth-child(1) {
    position: static;
}

#gkHeaderNav .gkMainMenu .gkmenu > li:nth-child(1) > div.childcontent {
left: 0 !important;
margin-left: 0 !important;
}


The second part did exactly what I wanted !
Thank you very much Teitbite !

I regret I will have to use another extension to scroll my news categories

Ernst.

Hi

Great, at least I'm happy the styling changes worked. Closing this thread now.
