: main menu not showing up : super51878 May 21, 2010, 12:35:54 PM hi, I have two questions
I recently uploaded the emma smooth temp, and the main menu isn't showing. I understand by default it doesn't show up, i found that info in google somehow. In the tutorial it said under 'advanced parameters' the style suffix should be set to list. where is advanced parameters? For some reason i cannot locate it. the second part is i have a twitter module, and I set it to 'left' and it dissappeared into thin air. Can we only set mods on 'right'? i'll add a third part, everyone should check out google right now LOL : Re: main menu not showing up : mikek May 21, 2010, 01:05:35 PM Hello,
1. Are you referring to the drop down menu at the top of the page or a column menu? The main drop down menu is chosen in the template configuration screen. 2. This template does not have a left position, please see: http://www.shape5.com/demo/emma_smooth/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=49 : Re: main menu not showing up : super51878 May 21, 2010, 01:58:19 PM i'm talking about the stacked menu, not the horizontal menu at the very top.
If I wanted a left position, would that require modification of some sort? : Re: main menu not showing up : super51878 May 21, 2010, 02:17:09 PM oh well I guess the inset position is essentially the 'left' module, or at least it gives the effect i want. I will put a rotating banner there. But it now looks like a tornado went through my main content area lol. It appears to have jumbled everything. i'm using the sobi2 city directory system. hmm
: Re: main menu not showing up : super51878 May 21, 2010, 02:24:16 PM ok i'm played with the body width of the template, and it seamed to have fixed the jumbledness. I guess my only problem now is getting that menu on the right side to appear.
oh, how wide is too wide for a website? I made it wider to fix the order of the content. I have a really big monitor, so any size looks good to me. : Re: main menu not showing up : mikek May 21, 2010, 02:35:20 PM Hello,
A tutorial for setting up the column menu is found here: http://www.shape5.com/demo/emma_smooth/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=36&Itemid=113 The advanced parameters is found on the right side of the screen when editing the module in the backend of Joomla. Width is a bit of a question anymore, most people are using widescreen now, which wasn't the case a year or two ago. I personally don't make sites wider than 1000px. |
