Upgrade instructions
|
32
|
--------------------
|
33
|
Did you change any part of the module or the library?
|
34
|
|
35
|
- If you did not change the module or the library; download the latest versions of the module and
|
36
|
the library and upload them (replacing the old files).
|
37
|
|
38
|
- If you did change the module or the library; use a visual comparison tool (such as Winmerge
|
39
|
or Kompare, so on) in order to compare your current copy with its original one (you can find it at
|
40
|
http://drupal.org/node/711944/release) find out what was changed and do the same to the version
|
41
|
you are upgrading to.
|
42
|
WARNING: This is for experts only!
|
43
|
|
44
|
- Please note that if you are upgrading from version 1.6 running update.php will cause error
|
45
|
messages to appear. To resolve this go to "Administer" -> "Structure" -> "Blocks", click the
|
46
|
"Configure" link for each Superfish block and click "Save block" button.

How to style
|
60
|
------------
|
61
|
If you know CSS, even basics of it, designing won't be a big challenge.
|
62
|
|
63
|
Here are some tips and tricks:
|
64
|
|
65
|
A) Always use a DOM inspector utility (such as Firebug).
|
66
|
|
67
|
B) Set the "Menu delay" option to a very high number such as 99999999. This will give you enough
|
68
|
time to work with sub-menus.
|
69
|
|
70
|
C) If you are not using the built-in styles, set the "Style" option to "None".
|
71
|
|
72
|
D) Utilise the "Simple" style as reference; add the newly-created CSS file either to your theme CSS
|
73
|
or as a new CSS file under the styles directory in the Superfish library (probably
|
74
|
"sites/all/libraries/superfish/style"); putting it in the styles folder will automatically add it
|
75
|
to the styles list in the block configuration.
