Hi,

I really need help with menus. I have selected css menu but I don’t get the effects like having the drop down effects of the menu. How does one add subsequent items under a menu. For instance if first item of menu was News then submenus are International, National, Local, how do I get the drop down effect or add sub menus?

Also, how do I replace the JA Lolite logo and text at the top left with mine?

Thanks

Make sure none of your menu items is a seperator. And the Menu Type in the template configuration is correctly pointed to the menu that you are using. I had a Seperator menu item and it kiboshed the whole menu.

The logo can be replaced in the template folder under images/ its called logo.png . Its a transparent logo so remember that if you want the black background to show through it.

Thank you for your response. The menu type has been indicated in the template configuration. What do you mean by a menu item being a separator? Please I will appreciate if you could explain further.

Thanks

in the Type of menu item you created. in the menu view there should be a column called type. look down that column and see if any our your men items are a seperator.

Hi All,

The fault was mine as I did not understand the basics, but I am now sorted. To accomplish that, I had to create new menu items so that they have a parent item. If About Us is a main Menu Item, sub menus like Our History, Our Activities, etc should be created and assigned under About Us as parent item. Thanks alot guys.

Then, a different question, how do I reduce the height of the Newflash Module? It occupies a lot of space. Also, I’d like to change the background colour from black to something else.

Thanks

HI
You can change height of Newsflash module in template.css (line 880)

#ja-topsl {
color:#FFFFFF;
height:220px; <-- change height here
position:relative;
background: <-- add backround as you want

}

And change backgound here template.css (line 901)

#ja-topsl .nfcontent {
background:#000000 none repeat scroll 0% 0%; <-- change backround follow background above
color:#C9C0B7;
font-size:175%;
}
