Questions about Menu

Hi i have a few questions about the nav Menu particularly about skin customization and how many levels there can be

1) i need to have at least 5 levels of navigation, on the demo, when you hover over templates- suckerfish-suckerfish child, this only goes down 3 levels, can it go down more levels so that suckerfich shild has its own sub menus as well?

2) On the demo page http://demo.snapsis.com/Templates/tabid/61/Default.aspx  when you hover over templates, you get the sub menu displayed, but when the templates menu is selected, i.e. you are on the templates page, it doesnt dispaly the sub menu unless you hover over the templates page, is it possible to have the sub menu displayed on the selected page, instead of only when hovering?

3) I want to use overlapped images for each of the top level items, is this possible with this sytem?

I have attached a jpg image with what i want this menu system to do, is this at all possible and more importantly, is it simple to do, or would it involve complex coding

Cheers

Terry

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the interest.

For #1, Yes, you can have as many levels as you want, it is setup for 4 levels now, but it is a simple copy & paste in the template and a small CSS tweak to add more levels.

For #2, Yes, the home page actually does what you are referring to, you just can't tell on the demo site since it goes to a different skin.

I think the menu on this site does what you want: http://www.agingsafely.com/

For #3, that is possible, but it will take a little work.  I have wanted to do something like that as an example but have not been able to find the time.

You can really build any menu you want using the template system. For the overlapping tabs you will have to add some extra formatting code to one of the templates provided. 

Maybe I can find some time in the next few days to go ahead and do an example like you are looking for.

Hey thanks for the quick reply

finally ive found a menu suite with decent help facilities and interaction

An example of the overlaping images menu would be fantastic.

This is one fantastic dnn solution and i will be using it over all other menu systems in the future

Hi John,

First off, great product. I regret not purchasing this much sooner, could have avoided countless infuriating battles with the SolPartMenu.

With regard to question #2 above, how was the submenu visibility achieved on the AgingSafely site? I need the submenu items for the active top-level menu item to be displayed without having to hover over the active tab.

What needs to be changed in the ASPX and/or TXT files in order to achieve this?

Cheers,

Tyler

Hi Tyler,
Thanks for purchasing and the positive feedback.

That menu is using the ActiveResetHover template example provided in the package.
If you look at the JS used to make the hover reset back to the currently selected tab you can see that it is calling resetactive=setTimeout("NavResetActive()",reset_delay); in the NavMouseOut function.

To make the child menu show up on the intial PageLoad you can call that same line of code when the page loads instead of waiting for the first Mouseout.

The way Dave did it on that site was by putting that line of code in the global JS space (outside of a function).

You can look at his JS here: http://www.agingsafely.com/Portals/_default/Skins/ASI-skin6/SnapsisMenu.js

A the very bottom you'll see where he copied that line of code to the outside of the NavMouseout function.
