Setting up your menu's drop down (child) items. |
|
The built in Suckerfish menu sucks in the Joomla "Main Menu" by default. This can easily be changed to another menu by changing the configuration option in the templates index.php file (right at the top).
In the Menu Manager, you will notice by default the "Main Menu" does not have any child items assign. All top level menu items will be displayed as the primary "tabs", then any child menu items will automatically be displayed as the drop down options when you hover over the top "tabs". To setup the child items for a particular tab do the following:
- In your Joomla Admin area, from the top menu, navigate to Menu > Main Menu (or which ever menu you chose to use in the previous step).
- The menu manager will list all the menu items that are set in any of the particular menus. All the top level menu items are displayed flush against the side in the list and all child menu items are indented from the parent menu item. This may sound overly complicated, but once you see the structure it will instantly make sense which menu items are parent menu items and which are the "children".
- To assign a child menu item, first create a new menu item as usual, then in the options for that menu item, select which of the existing menu items you would like to be the parent. Again you will notice in the menu's options, the existing menu items that you can choose from are also structured in a hierarchial way, so it will be easy to see which is the parent and which is the child.
