Eli

Note : i mean even just let me know what i should modify and shall i will make it my self ...

Anyone to help out ?

Add this to the end of top_menu.css in your templates css directory.

.topMenu .top ul.sub.main_elements {
left:-2000px;
}

This moves the drop downs way off the screen.  Some people may tell you to use display:none; instead of moving the elements off screen, but that method leaves some strange artifacts in some custom templates.

Hi thanks for trying to help me out , i've tried that but there was no effect at all , am not saying you are wrong but i'm sure i did something wrong.

Let me explain :

1-tmpl_xxxx

2- tmpl_xxx/css/top_menu.css

3- I did open the top_menu.cc and right at the end  here :

.subMenuOvr .sys_tm_actions .button_wrapper, .subMenuOvr .sys_tm_actions .button_wrapper input, .subMenuOvr .sys_tm_actions .button_wrapper_close
{
height:48px;
}

.topMenu .top ul.sub.main_elements {
left:-2000px;
}

is this right ?

Thanks.

try templates/base/css/top_menu.css

That what i did works great

@eli

You cleared your cache directory... right?

The css I gave you works just fine.  I can add it to any D7 site with Firebug, and it never fails.

Don't tell people to modify css in the base directory.  It's a really bad habit to get into.

@ houstonlively  ok  

But can you explain why i see alot out there tell  to modify base files does it depend  if your using  default template or custom template

Just like to know for my refrence

Thx

It's a bad habit from the past. When you modify the /base/ directory (or even /tmpl_uni/), you put your changes at risk of being done away with upon upgrade. It may be the quickest fix, but there's no guarantee that it'll stick. I always create a new template from /tmpl_uni/ and /base/, and make all my changes there.

@ Magnussoft  thx for info something i didnt know, but just to be clear your saying i can have 2 base folders in template folder i.e

base/tmpl_uni  and base2/tmpl_uni2  where tmpl_uni2 uses base2 files  or  you just copy needed files from base to tmpl_uni2 for new template

thx again

No. What I meant was copying the files within the /base/ directory into a copy of the /tmpl_uni/ directory. This overwrites all the files which only import from the /base/ directory and also adds the extra template files (like _sub_header.html, etc.) that are only found in that directory.

For example, I created a new template called roobar, with the directory /tmpl_roobar/. This template was originally a copy of the default uni template and its files, along with importing the contents of the /base/ directory to make editing easier.

@ Magnussoft  thx for clearing that up for me i now understand what you mean

now i got some work to move files from default and create new tmpl_uni  try and fix before i have to upgrade

You learn something new everyday :)

Good morning ,

Yes i did clear all the cash and cash public using FTP but nothing changed at all . i know it's weird but nothing happen at all . ( i'm doing this in my custom template) !

Wait ! I double check again and this is the result :

When i click on SOUNDS VIDEO PHOTO EVENTS BLOGS GROUPS PEOPLE MAIL PROFILE DASHBOARD SITES POOLS CHAT BOARDS ADS STORE ARTICLES SPY NEWS FEEDBACK HEL AND SEARCH the menu DISAPPEAR .

But if I click in FORUM or Back to the HOMEPAGE the menu drop down appears again in all the FOllowing modules i states above ...

THis is weird isn't ?
