hi, i need your help to create a TopMenu into JA Social similar like this one here: http://ja-ironis.demo.joomlart.com/

i have started with following steps:

1. new Block with Name topnav (not uploaded yet) inluding Module Position for Social Icons
[PHP]<?php
/**
* @package T3 Blank
* @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 – 2012 Open Source Matters, Inc. All rights reserved.
* @license GNU General Public License version 2 or later; see LICENSE.txt
*/

defined(‘_JEXEC’) or die;
?>

<!– TOP NAVIGATION –>
<nav id=”t3-topnav” class=”wrap t3-topnav navbar-fixed-top navbar-collapse-fixed-top”>
<div class=”container navbar”>
<div class=”navbar-inner”>

<button type=”button” class=”btn btn-navbar” data-toggle=”collapse” data-target=”.nav-collapse”>
<i class=”icon-reorder”></i>
</button>

<div class=”nav-collapse collapse<?php echo $this->getParam(‘navigation_collapse_showsub’, 1) ? ‘ always-show’ : ” ?>”>
<?php if ($this->getParam(‘navigation_type’) == ‘topmenu’) : ?>
<?php $this->megamenu($this->getParam(‘mm_type’, ‘topmenu’)) ?>
<?php else : ?>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”<?php $this->_p(‘topnav’) ?>” style=”raw” />
<?php endif ?>
</div>
<?php if($this->countModules(‘topnavlogin’)) : ?>
<div id=”ja-topnavsocial” class=”ja-topnavsocial<?php $this->_c(‘topnavsocial’) ?>”>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”<?php $this->_p(‘topnavsocial’) ?>” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
<!– //TOP NAVIGATION –>[/PHP]

2. i have added in tlps/default-left-content-right.php the new topnav Block

[PHP]<?php $this->loadBlock (‘topnav’) ?>[/PHP]

3. Now i need the correct CSS Styles right?

Creating the CSS for the menu display would be a good next step, yes – to see how things are working thus far.

and that is the point where i would need a litle help 😉 i do not want the mainmenu style for topmenu! so i need new css classes for topmenu

Update:

if i try to create a new topmenu Menue in joomla module Manager then i see no module position to assign for the topmenu module! is there something wrong in my topnav.php file?

I believe the top nav position is a BLOCK position rather than a module.

Here is some reference info for you —-> http://www.t3-framework.org/documentation/bs3-layout-system

The thing is , we are here to guide you …. but custom work is beyond the scope of general Technical Support.

If you know how to create a menu, then you’re halfway there. The only other thing you likely need is to create a new position for the menu where you want it, The following tutorial should help you with this —-> http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/how-to-create-new-module-position-updated/
