Hi Wolfgang

To convert the footer menu to a module position edit the following near the end of your templates base.php (../templates/j51_oxygen/php/layouts/base.php)..

	<?php if($footermenu_onoff == "1") : ?>

	    <div id="footermenu" class="block_holder"><div class="module_margin">

	         <?php echo $footermenu; ?>

	         <div class="clear"></div>

	    </div></div>

	<?php endif; ?>

Change to...

  	<div id="footermenu" class="block_holder"><div class="module_margin">

		<jdoc:include type="modules" name="footermenu" />

		<div class="clear"></div>

	</div></div>

This will convert the area to a position called footermenu.

Hi,

thanks for this topic it works fine also for the oxygen template!!!

Is this change also for the footermenu possible?
What I have to change?

Best Regards,
Wolfgang

Thanks. Sometimes I feel stupid :blink:

Within the menu modules parameters ensure you have 'Always show sub menu items' set to Yes.

Hi! I just did this on Chimera template. Menu shows in hornav but it doesn't dropdown.
I have set moomenu in the field for Menu Tag ID in the module manager for my both menus.

Hi masani3llo

The animated dropdown script is set to run on the moomenu tag ID and has no influence on the module position.

May I suggest sending temporary administration access to your Joomla installation and if possible FTP access to your template directory to info@joomla51.com and we will examine your issue further.

Ciarán

I have the same problem on oxygen, tried the workaround but it still doesn't show the menu in hornav position. You suggested to add Menu tag ID , i looken in template.css but there's no moomenu style, is that the problem maybe?

Thanks a lot

Thanks Ciarán,

it works great!

I'll send you the link later when the project is finished

Hi blocki

Ok I think I uderstand and thank you for bringing this to our attention. It was something we hadn't considered when designing the template.

To change this menu to a module position open up your templates header.php (../templates/j51_avenue/php/layouts/header.php) and replace the following (line 65)...

<div id="hornav">

    <?php echo $hornav; ?>

</div>

With...

<div id="hornav">

    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="hornav" />

</div>

This will convert the area to a module position. You will find the position to still not be listed in the positions dropdown in your modules parameters however this field is editable and you can simply type in the position name (hornav). Also remember to add moomenu to the modules Menu Tag ID.

Hope this helps

Hello Ciaran,

No, I can add more items to the menus. But I can only chose 1 menu to be displayed in the hornav, as soon as I switch language, the other main menu can not be displayed.

In the control panel, I can only choose 1 main menu and I have 4 main menus, because of the 4 languages. The language switcher takes care of switching the correct menus in the correct modules for the different languages.

But as you said, the hornav is no module here, so this is the problem.

I'm a regular buyer of your themes, and I hope you have a solution, otherwise I need to buy another theme

Greetings, Blocki

Hi blocki

Not sure if I fully understand your issue. You are only able to have one menu item in the hornav menu position?

New menu items can be added to your menu via your Menu Manager (Menus -> Main Menu -> New).

Ciarán

Thank you for your quick reply Ciaran,

I tried it, but I have another problem now...
I'm trying to create a Multilingual site, but I can only give in 1 Main Menu.
Is there a workaround?


Here is the set-up of what I'm trying to do:

Hi blocki

On our Avenue template the hornav position is not a module position but a predefined area for your menu. You can choose what menu to display in this area via your templates parameters (Extensions -> Template Manager -> J51_Avenue -> Menu).
