"double" menu!

Hi Joe and everybody,

Is it possible to use at same time "superfish menu" and a secondary (static) vertical menu (that contains the sub pages of a main menu item) in the pages??? I mean the result should be a mix of "michinson-earthy" and (ie) "styleshout-refresh" skins.

Thanks

Less than helpful post removed. See below for solution and an example site using this technique.

Re: "double" menu!

Actually this should be possible. Use SiteMenu as configured in mitchinson-earthy and use PageMenu as configured in styelshout-refresh. you will need to also harvest the stylemenu.css from styleshout-refresh (or it might be styletreevew.css)

The result will be a horizontal menu with flyout sub menus and a vertical menu showing child pages of the current page and duplicating some of the menu items in the main superfish menu.

Best,

Joe

Re: "double" menu!

I can confirm this is defnitely possible. I have done this several times in the past. A good example is this site: http://anchorcenter.org/what-we-do.aspx.

All you need to do is follow the instructions for adding a SuperFish menu here: http://www.mojoportal.com/using-superfish-menus.aspx. You can make these changes to your skin that already has a vertical pagemenu and you should be good to go. I can post the relevant stuff from the AnchorCenter skin here, if you need it for reference.

HTH,
Joe D.

Hey Joe, thanks for that update and especially the example site. Seeing it visually makes a lot more sense to me why you'd want to do something like this. I'll edit my earlier response for future visitors to this thread.

Re: "double" menu!

Hi guys!

Definitely! Thanks to Joe'n'Joe :-) support... i've implemented this feature!
@Joe Davis: My starting point was "mitchinson-earthy"...so I followed the instructions in reverse.

I added the control portal:pagemenu in my layout.master (taken from "styleshout-refresh"'s layout.master) than i made some tuning on css files...et voilà!

Great!
I will show my work when it's finished.

Best,

Silvio

Hi Joe,

AnchorCenter looks very well. It would be really nice if you could post the relevant stuff for this skin. I think it would be a good reference for similar web sites. Thanks a lot.

Best,

Erhan
