Hi

I am having a problem with sub menus NOT showing in my menu system.

I have a mainmenu system (at the top) and have created extra menus which only show up in the left position when selecting the according top menu item.

I have made the extra menus by linking them as an alias to the mainmenu items.

My problem is that the sub-submenus are not showing in the extra menus I have created. For the new menus I have all parameters set as the original mainmenu setup. I found out that I can make the sub-submenus visible by selecting ‘Always show sub-menu Items’ in the parameters, but this is not how I would like it to work…

I have attached pictures:
Clipboard-1shows how I would like it to work like ‘Demo Contents’ in the template setup.
Clipboard-2 shows what is not working, ‘Hall of Fame’ sub-submenu is not showing…

Anyone who can help me out here?

Basic info: I installed the Quickinstall package and am running Joomla!1.5.3 on a local server (JSAS)

I have been doing loads of testing and I would like to add some information on why things are going wrong.

I mentioned that I have sub menus in the left position. The submenu is created by using ‘Alias’ pointing to the Main menu links.

I have found out when creating a separate Submenu and linking to Articles (like the main menu) the sub menu works as it should do, but the problem then is that the breadcrumbs do not work correctly… As now the sub-sub menu link will show directly after Home: Home > sub-submenu , instead of Home > submenu > sub-submenu

Is this a css problem, or am I building my seb menus in an incorrect way.

Please help, I need to get the site working correctly!!
