This module makes it easy to add dropdown and flyout menus,
|
| 11 |
|
|
using the Superfish jQuery plugin
|
| 12 |
|
|
(http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish),
|
| 13 |
|
|
and falling back to CSS-only functionality when JS is disabled.

Upgrading
|
| 39 |
|
|
---------
|
| 40 |
|
|
For upgrades between versions, read the UPGRADE.txt file included with
|
| 41 |
|
|
the module.

Issues
|
| 44 |
|
|
------
|
| 45 |
|
|
You can track known issues at http://drupal.org/project/issues/nice_menus.
|

|
|
|
| 47 |
|
|
Customization
|
| 48 |
|
|
-------------
|
| 49 |
|
|
The module includes a default CSS layout file (nice_menus_default.css)
|
| 50 |
|
|
which is loaded for all pages. If you don't like the default layout,
|
| 51 |
|
|
it is suggested that you create a separate customized CSS file,
|
| 52 |
|
|
and replace the default CSS file at
|
| 53 |
|
|
Administer -> Themes -> Configure -> Global settings -> "Path to
|
| 54 |
|
|
custom nice menus CSS file".
|
| 55 |
|
|
This ensures smooth future upgrades as no editing of the module files is
|
| 56 |
|
|
necessary.
|
| 57 |
|
|
NOTE: you should not edit the regular nice_menus.
|
| 58 |
|
|
css file since this contains the "logic" that makes Nice menus work.
|
| 59 |
|
|
|
| 60 |
|
|
To help understand the CSS, the HTML looks like this, where
|
| 61 |
|
|
x is a number;
|
| 62 |
|
|
TYPE is down/left/right;
|
| 63 |
|
|
PATH is the menu path such as node/343;
|
| 64 |
|
|
MID is the menu id such as 33:
|
| 65 |
|
|
<ul id='nice-menu-x' class='nice-menu nice-menu-TYPE'>
|
| 66 |
|
|
<li id='menu-MID' class='menu-path-PATH'>
|
| 67 |
|
|
<a href='#'>This is a menu item</a>
|
| 68 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 69 |
|
|
<li class='menuparent menu-path-PATH'><a href='#'>A submenu</a>
|
| 70 |
|
|
<ul...><li...>...</li>
|
| 71 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 72 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 73 |
|
|
...
|
| 74 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 75 |
|
|
|
| 76 |
|
|
If you have more than one nice-menu and want to target a particular one,
|
| 77 |
|
|
use its id (e.g. ul#nice-menu-2).
|
| 78 |
|
|
|
| 79 |
|
|
A good starting point for your custom file is to make a copy of the
|
| 80 |
|
|
default file, then edit it to taste. Here are some common
|
| 81 |
|
|
customization examples for your own stylesheet:
|
| 82 |
|
|
|
| 83 |
|
|
Make hovered links white with a black background:
|
| 84 |
|
|
|
| 85 |
|
|
ul.nice-menu li a:hover {
|
| 86 |
|
|
color: white;
|
| 87 |
|
|
background: black;
|
| 88 |
|
|
}
|
| 89 |
|
|
|
| 90 |
|
|
Make the link to the current page that you're on black with yellow text:
|
| 91 |
|
|
|
| 92 |
|
|
ul.nice-menu li a.active {
|
| 93 |
|
|
color: yellow;
|
| 94 |
|
|
background: black;
|
| 95 |
|
|
}
|
| 96 |
|
|
|
| 97 |
|
|
Get rid of all borders:
|
| 98 |
|
|
|
| 99 |
|
|
ul.nice-menu,
|
| 100 |
|
|
ul.nice-menu ul,
|
| 101 |
|
|
ul.nice-menu li {
|
| 102 |
|
|
border: 0;
|
| 103 |
|
|
}
|
| 104 |
|
|
|
| 105 |
|
|
Get rid of the borders and background colour for all top-level menu items:
|
| 106 |
|
|
|
| 107 |
|
|
ul.nice-menu,
|
| 108 |
|
|
ul.nice-menu ul,
|
| 109 |
|
|
ul.nice-menu li {
|
| 110 |
|
|
border: 0;
|
| 111 |
|
|
background: none;
|
| 112 |
|
|
}
|
| 113 |
|
|
|
| 114 |
|
|
ul.nice-menu-right li.menuparent,
|
| 115 |
|
|
ul.nice-menu-right li li.menuparent {
|
| 116 |
|
|
background: url('arrow-right.png') right center no-repeat;
|
| 117 |
|
|
}
|
| 118 |
|
|
|
| 119 |
|
|
li.menuparent li, li.menuparent ul {
|
| 120 |
|
|
background: #eee;
|
| 121 |
|
|
}
|
| 122 |
|
|
|
| 123 |
|
|
Have a nice menu stick right at the top of the page e.g. for an admin menu:
|
| 124 |
|
|
|
| 125 |
|
|
#block-nice_menus-1 {
|
| 126 |
|
|
position: absolute;
|
| 127 |
|
|
top: 0;
|
| 128 |
|
|
left: 0;
|
| 129 |
|
|
}
|
| 130 |
|
|
|
| 131 |
|
|
In Firefox, as above but where the menu doesn't move as you scroll
|
| 132 |
|
|
down the page:
|
| 133 |
|
|
#block-nice_menus-1 {
|
| 134 |
|
|
position: fixed;
|
| 135 |
|
|
top: 0;
|
| 136 |
|
|
left: 0;
|
| 137 |
|
|
}
|
| 138 |
|
|
|
| 139 |
|
|
That should get you started. Really this is just about knowing your
|
| 140 |
|
|
CSS and styling it the way you want it.
|
| 141 |
|
|
|

|
Advanced theming
|
| 143 |
|
|
----------------
|
| 144 |
|
|
If you're creating or modifying your own theme,
|
| 145 |
|
|
you can integrate Nice menus more deeply by making use of these functions:
|
| 146 |
|
|
theme_nice_menus() -- themes any menu tree as a Nice menu.
|
| 147 |
|
|
theme_nice_menus_main_menu() -- themes your main menu as a Nice menu.
|
| 148 |
|
|
theme_nice_menus_secondary_menu() -- themes your secondary menu as a Nice menu.
|
| 149 |
|
|
|
| 150 |
|
|
If you really know what you're doing, you can probably even customize the menu
|
| 151 |
|
|
tree in creative ways, as those functions allow you to pass in a custom
|
| 152 |
|
|
menu tree.
