Upgrade instructions

Did you change any part of the module or the library?

• If you did not change the module or the library; download the latest versions of the module and
  the library and upload them (replacing the old files).

• If you did change the module or the library; use a visual comparison tool (such as Winmerge
  or Kompare, so on) in order to compare your current copy with its original one (you can find it at
  http://drupal.org/node/711944/release) find out what was changed and do the same to the version
  you are upgrading to.
  WARNING: This is for experts only!

• Please note that if you are upgrading from version 1.6 running update.php will cause error
  messages to appear. To resolve this go to "Administer" -> "Structure" -> "Blocks", click the
  "Configure" link for each Superfish block and click "Save block" button.

Configuring the module

• For block-specific settings go to "Administer" -> "Structure" -> "Blocks" and click the
  "Configure" link of the Superfish block.

• For module settings go to "Administer" -> "Configuration" -> "User Interface" -> "Superfish".

How to style

If you know CSS, even basics of it, designing won't be a big challenge.

Here are some tips and tricks:

A) Always use a DOM inspector utility (such as Firebug).

B) Set the "Menu delay" option to a very high number such as 99999999. This will give you enough
time to work with sub-menus.

C) If you are not using the built-in styles, set the "Style" option to "None".

D) Utilise the "Simple" style as reference; add the newly-created CSS file either to your theme CSS
or as a new CSS file under the styles directory in the Superfish library (probably
"sites/all/libraries/superfish/style"); putting it in the styles folder will automatically add it
to the styles list in the block configuration.
