Hi,

I made a Joomla! template and I've got a problem with the topmenu appearence.

The topmenu parents items are not displayed as in Artisteer.

When I do html exportation I note that ther is a double span markup that is not present in Joomla! (just one span markup). I think the problem comes from here.

Is someone can help me please.

Thanks in advance.

Artisteer 2.0.2.14734 Standard Edition
Joomla! 1.5.9

Something surprising happened.

I worked on Joomla! locally in a real LAMP server.

So, I installed a brand new instance of Joomla! on our hosting server in aim to demonstrate the issue.

After having installed the template, this one does work. I don't really understand where the problem comes from.

I'll try to do a raw copy of my files on my hosting server and so on the db.

If I succeed in get it on line, I'll give you the URL.

Sorry, but I was unable to demonstrate the issue.

I did a raw copy of my files and db on my hosting server and it seems working fine.

I suppose the problem came from my local server.

@Koff,

I had the same problem. It occured, when I left Headline and Slogan ( In teh header section ) empty. I put a space in each of these sections and the problem was gone. No really a nice solution, I know, just a workaround. Hope it works for you too.

I have the same problem, the topmenu parent not showing. I think is something strange with the template. If I`m will edit the css files of the template in the backand, there is something wrong. look here

Hello sammy38,

I don't think the two issues are related.

The first one with incorrectly formatted menu items is probably caused by incorrect html output for the menu. For example, some span tags may be missing. Could you please provide a link to your page demonstrating the problem?

The second issue with the path to .css file (shown on the screenshot above) is caused by the fact that Artisteer locates the generated style.css file directly in the theme folder, while Joomla CSS-Editor expects all .css files to be located in ../templates/themename/css folder. That's why you cannot edit Artisteer css files in the back end.

Caroline.

@Klawi, thank you very much, this solved the header issue.

Someone found the bug for topmenu?, the strange is that the submenus work perfectly... :*)

Hello,

I checked the provided urls and in both cases the problem with menu occurs because of the missing span tags.
The item html code should look like:

<li class="item53">
<a href="...">
<span>
<span>Item Text </span>
</span>
</a>
</li>

Notice those two pair of spans. They should be added in the ..themename\html\mod_mainmenu\default.php code somewhere around the 93-94 lines, like:

$secondSpan = $span->addChild('span');
$secondSpan->setData($span->data());

Please check your code, maybe you modified it manually. If the span tags are not added in the code for some reason please email your Artisteer project and the exported files to Artisteer support so that they analyze and fix this issue.

Have a nice day!

Caroline.

Hello Caroline,
thanks soo much for helping!
But I don´t modify the default.php. The entry

$secondSpan = $span->addChild('span');
$secondSpan->setData($span->data());

are between line 93-94.
What else can it be? I hope I read/understand your message correct.
Sorry for my bad english.

Greats

Well, that's pretty strange...

Just wondering, what Joomla version is installed on your remote server? Is it different from the local one? Maybe this is causing the issue?

I work with Joomla 1.5.9 and never experienced such problem.

Caroline.

Hello,
I think that Claude's suggestion makes sense! I have PHP 5.1 installed and I do not experience such problem with menu.

@Jupp, i am no expert, but I do not think that PHP is the real problem.
I did the Theme to the previous beta, so I do not know if the problem is the last beta.
Anyway, we have to wait to confirm. Since nobody's staff confirmed to the problem. Or yes, i don´t now...

Well, I don´t can change the php version from 4 to 5, so I tested it with a file ".htaccess". I put the code "AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php4 .php3 .php5" in it and load it on the server. Now my jommla says that I have PHP 5. And .... it works... the menu is perfect ..:-):-):-)

Thanks all alot ...

Hi
I switched to php5 using .htaccess and now the top menu kinda works, meaning ....

1... The links created in the top menu are www.yourdomain/home and the menu works with this url.

2 ... However if you are using the home page link in the main menu and breadcrumb menu the menu image does not show in the top menu

Does anyone have a work around for this

Thanks Malc
