Author Message e-viking Posted: 7/30/2009 Quote message  I'm sure this has been asked before, but still here goes: Is it possible to get an "expanding" side menu (main menu) in a Artisteer Joomla template? Inside Joomla I can easily add sub items under parent items to my main menu. These does not seem to show, unless I go to the module manager, select main menu and activate "Always show sub menu items". Then they are - always shown... However I would like them to show only when the parent item is selected, and that way the whole side menu would expand/shrink according to which parent item the visitor click. There seems to be a lot of sites using this technique now - and I hope it is possible with Artisteer also. Using a side main menu *and* a top menu just seems to confuse my visitors....   Garry Posted: 7/30/2009 Quote message  Can you explain it with an example website having this technique.   dagunster Posted: 8/1/2009 Quote message  To elaborate on this, I tried a menu system for Joomla that makes 'flyout' type menus. When the menu's fly out from the left - into the 'body' - they are cut off. So I cannot have any flyout menus on the left. I'll have to spend the extra $ to get a 'tree' menu for the left that stayed within the bounds of the module dimensions.   e-viking Posted: 8/7/2009 Quote message  Hi Garry, Here is an example of a website using the "expanding side menu technique": http://www.nhoservice.no/category.php/category/Bedrifthelsetjenester/?categoryID=141 It is possible to add sub items in Joomla side menus. I just do not know how they can be shown in a template made with Artisteer.... Thanks for any further comments.   Garry Posted: 8/7/2009 Quote message  I seen your example site and I think it is just increasing the size of active menu items
