    Hi and Happy New Year to all of you guys 🙂

    I’ve got a problem with the sub-menus.

    I’m using Dropline menu. My menus are complicated and sometimes I need to use sub menus which are 4 or 5 levels down. The problem starts after the 3rd level.

    When I point the mouse on the 1st level down, and if there are more than 3 levels down, all the others sub menus (2nd, 3rd, 4rth, 5th level) are showing. The should be showed in order if I’m on 1st level I should see 2nd level down, If I’m on 2nd level I should see 3rd, and it’s working that way as long as there are not more than 3 levels down.

    Hope you’ve got my point, If not I’m uploading a screenshot with guidance :laugh:

    I think I found an other problem.

    Again using the Dropline menu system, when I the menu item points to External Link, which external link is in the site (I’m using EL for workaround, because some components don’t have build-in menu items which are pointing in the direction I need), anyway when I follow that menu item the menu sistem (Dropline) is not functioning as it suppose to. There are no sub menus and now line is showing, I need to click on other menu item which is not external link and the Dropline menu starts to work again.

    Any thoughts?

    Can you submit/update your site information into this ticket (http://support.joomlart.com/staff/index.php?/Tickets/Ticket/View/60805) so I could check & fix the problem.

    I don’t have access, or at least not with my Joomlart account.

    EDIT:

    I’ve managed to log in.

    My site is on localhost for now, I don’t have hosting at this point.

    The problem appears to freshly installed T3 template, so you don’t really need access to my site.

    If you do need it we need to sync our GMT, and I’ll give you access to my IP, which is changing every day or so.

    I’m using the versions from above, I updated the plugin to 1.2.2. My Joomla is version 1.5.22.

    Thank you!

    Hi bobbyggx,

    It’s true that the dropline menu only support for maximum 4 submenu levels. If your menu is complicated, the best menu is megamenu. With megamenu, not only unlimited submenu levels support, but you can also organize your menu better. You can group your menu items in columns, you can load module into menu…

    Thanks!

    I used megamenu, and it’s awesome, my colleagues prefer the dropline menu. It suits better to the topic of the site.

    You’re saying that in Dropline menu you can’t load modules? That might be a problem.

    Thanks for the great support!

    Regards!

    Only MegaMenu can load modules.

    I can live with the submenus which are 3 levels deep, but the external link is pretty bad, because with most of my components I’m using workaround to get where I want to be, and that means 80% of the time you won’t be able to see the submenus, cause you just followed menu item pointing to external link 🙁

    You can bypass this error by changing your external links. When you enter the external link, just use the link from index.php to the end, and Joomla will detect that’s the internal link. Eg, if your external link is:

    http://yourdomain/index.php?option=com_search
    You should put the link is:

    index.php?option=com_search

    All my links are like that (without the domain). I’m using build-in Joomla SEF.

    My links looks like:

    index.php/component/booklibrary/?task=showCategory&catid=133

    In that case, it is not working! Most of my links are connected to booklibrary component and they look like the above link.

    I found out that if the link is structured like this:

    index.php/Library?task=showCategory&catid=232
    ***Where “Library” is the Alias of the menu item.

    In the above case it works! Any ideas, or I need to go thru all my links and rename them, well it’s not going to be that big of a deal, but I’m using cyrillic symbols – “Library” actually is “Библиотека” (Bulgarian language), so If I edit the links at one point when I’m moving the site I might have some problems with those. If you can think of the reason why is this happening I’ll appreciate it!

    Thank you again for the great support!
