Ok… so I am desperately working on a nonprofit website (http://www.vinelandbgc.org) which I am out of time and out of money and was looking for a menu. Right now I have a flash menu that is broken and will not work correctly so I’m trying to replace it with the best looking menu I can find to help promote this non profit. I stumpled upon the mega menu while checking out the Ja Purity template. I searched all over for a download link to the module and finally found one but I can’t figure out how to install it and make it work correctly.

I installed the menu fine in Joomla and enabled it… but then what else is needed? I added the menu.js and menu.css files to the template directory under I think the “js” folder. I modified my params.ini and added megamenu under positions but in Joomla all it says under template properties is that params.ini is writable. I added the joomla include in my index.php and labeled it “megamenu”. I ended up setting the position for the module to “top” for now (and also added the top include to my index.php) but nothing shows up but a bunch of empty space. Do I have to install JA Extended Parameters? What else am I missing??? I am absolutely desperate to get it to work right now. It’s so nice and professional looking!

Ok, I installed the plugin… but still nothing… this is what my params.ini file looks like.

menutype=mainmenu
ja_menu=mega
ja_menu-mega-animation=slide
ja_menu-mega-duration=200

The following is what I added for parameters…
<params>

<param name=”menutype” type=”menu” default=”mainmenu” label=”Menu Module” description=”Menu Module Desc” />
<param name=”ja_menu” type=”list” default=”css” label=”Menu Type” description=”Menu Type Desc”>
<option value=”split”>Split Menu</option>
<option value=”css”>CSS Menu</option>
<option value=”moo”>Moo Menu</option>
<option value=”dropline”>Dropline Menu</option>
</param>

</params>

Still.. nothing shows up… what am I missing here?

Dear raystream,

Please tell us your Purity II version number. Give us your site link and if possible forward your ftp and Joomla Admin login details via PM to me, i can try to help you out.

As rightly pointed out by micrantha, you need to use the plugin > plg_system_jamenuparams onto latest version of JA Purity II. It will not work on purity I or any other normal template.

Whether you ask for mega menu as a template menu or mega menu as a module?
Mod_jamegamenu
was available for Ja Teline III as separate extension and do not require mentioned plugin.
