I would like to have a menu on the left that is like the one in the demo for Utahia II.

When you go to the Navigation link on the main menu of the demo, there are three menu buttons that say Split Menu, Suckerfish menu, and Transmenu on the left.

How do i get a menu to look like that? I’ve tried various menu class suffixes w/o any success. I just get ugly text w/ a box around it when highlighted.

Here is the code from the demo that i am reffering to:

<div id="ja-subnav" class="clearfix">

<ul class="submenu">
<li id="menu31"><a class="first-item" href="http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_utahia_ii/?jos_change_template=ja_utahiaii" title="Split Menu"><span>Split Menu</span></a></li>
<li id="menu32"><a href="http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_utahia_ii/?jos_change_template=ja_utahiaii_ii_sf" title="Suckerfish menu"><span>Suckerfish menu</span></a></li>
<li id="menu33"><a href="http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_utahia_ii/?jos_change_template=ja_utahiaii_ii_trans" title="Transmenu"><span>Transmenu</span></a></li>

</ul>
</div>

Is this for the demo only? Thanks,

All of the information you seek is in the Ja Utahia user guide.

<blockquote>
To choose your menu type, go to the 32nd line in the “ja_utahia/ index.php” and change $ja_menutype to what you need.
1 is Split Menu, 2 is CSS Menu and 3 is Transmenu.

Thanks for the quick reply. Those instructions are for only the main menu, right? They don’t seem to change the menu on the left. What i mean is the menu on the left of this page:

I guess it’s a menu anyways.. It’s blue and then highlights in green on mouseover.

Hi you need to publish or add the menu items for the “othermenu” in the back end under Menu>othermenu
does this help?
I’ve published an othermenu item on my site so you can see it in action. the menu item is Joomla! Home on the left.

I won’t leave it up for too long so please go take a look asap.
Thanks

as long as you are using the darkblue template, your othermenu links should look like the demo.

I’ve attached an image of the menu i’m talking about. It’s the one on the far right. I’ve been able to get the other menu to look like your example from the photo size (nice site, btw).

The look of the other menu on your site doesn’t look great in my opinion. I’ve changed it on my site to the example in the middle of the attachment. It’s ok, but i really want to make it look like the far right menu, which is from the demo:

http://www.joomlart.com/template/ja_utahia_ii/content/section/4/30/

See on the left where you can mouse over the menus for the menu-types? That’s what i want.

Oh ok I see what you want now. You have to make one of the menu items a sub item of one of the mainmenu items. Go to – Menu>mainmenu. Select which one of the buttons you want on the let then asign a parent button to it. I have selected Joomla! License and the home button as a parent button. So if you click the home button on my site the Joomla License shows up on the left, and if you click another mainmenu button it will go away. Go check it out. http://www.photonutz.net

Make sure you have selected #1 splitmenu in the index.php configuration though or it wont work that way.

I have attached a screen shot of the settings.

I’ve tried hard to understand how to apply this solution, but I for the life of me I can’t figure it out. I need my vertical usermenu on the left in the utahia II template to assume the same style and function as the horizontal mainmenu. How can I accomplish this?
