Hi,

Just started exploring 1.7 and wanted to confirm a difference that was noticed. In 1.5 it is not required to create a module and assign it to the main menu to display mega menu, dropline, etc… But in 1.7 it appears that you must assign a module to the main menu to display menu, dropline, etc…Is this a correct observation and how 1.7 normally behaves?

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi
I think you have some confuse. I’ve tried w/ J1.7 and menu working as same as 1.5.
It’s require any specific module to do / works w/ menu.
May i know what are you trying to do ?
Thank you

Trying to setup a new main menu. On a brand new install, for the main menu on 1.7 it looks like one must asign a module position to get the main menu to display menu items. On a brand new 1.5 install no module is required to achieve the same. Looked around for some docs online to better understand the changes in 1.7, but have not found anything yet.

Uhm
I think we have some confuse here.
Would you give me some sample on your live site ?
Thank you

It’s not the live site. It’s how the BE works in 1.7 vs 1.5.

Install a clean version of 1.7 with no sample data, then add a template. Then add menus to the main menu and you will see what I mean.

Hey There . . . So are you simply trying to add a module to a menu item within your mega menu?

Or are you trying to select the particular menu style you want to use (i.e. mega, dropline, css, etc.)

Neither. It’s an observation/confirmation about how 1.7 is different to 1.5 in this area. Also looks like a bunch of new module classes too. All sorts of surprises.
