I am trying to put menu images in the user3 position but they are not showing up. the menu shows up in user3 without the images, the images show up if its not in user3 but otherwise all that shows up is little rectangles when i hover over where the menu should be. I've been on joomla forums for several days and they don't want to help cause they say its a problem with the template.
Here is the menu without the images:
http://anmwebdesign.com/index.php/portfolio.html
Here are the images in a position other then user3:
http://anmwebdesign.com/index.php/contact.html
And here is the one that does not work with the image menu in user3:
http://anmwebdesign.com/index.php/about.html
All three pages are using the same template.

both joomla forums and u guys keep ignoring my question. this is either artisteer's fault or joomla's fault and not something i'm doing wrong.

OK MikeM, I can understand your frustration. I think the problem is that via a forum like this or even on Joomla!'s forum, it's going to be tough to analyze the problem you're having and figure out the solution. It isn't a problem with Joomla! or Artisteer... and it isn't something you're doing wrong. What I suspect, at this point, is that it's something you'd like to do and you'll need a way to "trick" the systems in letting you do it. Basically, it probably is code that may resolve the problem you're having, but it probably isn't a traditional method to solve it.
It will all boil down to your user position and how it's designed. User3 may not be allowing you to do what you want because of the way it's styled. But adding a new position and styling it appropriately will probably be the answer. Without more information, I can't suggest anything specific.
But slow down and look in the direction of adding a user position and style that will do what you want. Are you comfortable with adding new positions to the index.php and template.xml files?

I also think you are doing something wrong on your Joomla admin, you can try installing some other template to figure out where is the fault.

that was a good call. when i changed to the beez template the menu images show up in user3. but then i went back and created several brand new artisteer templates and even used the option to change the name of the user3 position and it does not show up in any of them. it seems there is something about how artisteer sets up its menu that does not alow for images in user3. no one else has come across this problem? it might be that in user3 artisteer uses images to create the nice menu designs and it could be those images cover up the ones i'm trying to use. if anyone has any other ideas would be appreciated

Hi Mike, I have the same problem. I created an artisteer template and everything is fine until I try to put an image (+ hyperlink) in the menu at the user3 position. I tried to use extended menu and other menu modules and the image shows correctly but I cannot maintain the original menu style ...so I couldn't find any proper solution yet.

Hi, the only thing next to a solution I could find until now was to create a new custom_module , to add the image in the custom output and positioning the module in the user3 position. As the small icon I want to add next to my hyperlink wasn't positioned exactly where I wanted it to be, I used css and added the class suffix to my custom module. I hope this helps until we can find a better solution.

Hello,
I'm also having the same problem. It is a problem with the artisteer template in the user3 position, because if I change the module postition to 'left' is does work fine ans shows the image.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for the help!

Artisteer only support placing the main menu module on user3 position.

You can assign the main menu to the sidebars and/or other positions too. It depends on where you want it to show up.

Thanks for the reply, but is is not an answer to my question.
Let's try again...:
I made a menu and asigned it to user3 postion. On one of the items I only want a image shown, not text.
With the (default Joomla) template rhuk_milkyway it works perfectly. With the Artisteertemplate the buttom is blanc. Noting is shown. The blanc buttom does work however when you click on it.
So this must be a little problem in the template. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any code available?
Thank in advance.

I am confused,
i cant see how you can add an images to the user3 menu in Artisteer, this is not supported,
If you click the menu tab in Artisteer there is no add image
adding them in Joomla will do nothing
Or am i missing something

Artisteer support adding outside images only in header background & foreground, background and icons.

Hello Garry,
It is always possible to change some code to make images apear in the user3 position. So by default Artisteer does not support this, which I think is a bit strange, because it is a build in (fixed) option in Joomla 1.5.
Using Artisteer I found that it is nessary (for me) to change some more code by hand:
For example by default submenuitems with a dropdown/tabmenu dissapear in the left module position. But by changing some code it was also possible to fix this in the template.css:
.contentLayout .sidebar1
overflow: visible;
z-index:1;
}
If someone would take the time and effort to really look into this, there will for sure be a solution for the images in the user3 position.
It would be very nice if that would happen. I'll keep on hoping and waiting...

I am fighting the same issue as everyone else on here... I find it amazing that after almost 6 months (and several released versions of the software), this is STILL not fixed.
In any case, it seems the callback method modMainMenuArtXMLCallback is the start of it... using the modMainMenuXMLCallback method presents the images, but lose the formatting... My skills are somewhat poor with PHP, so hopefully someone else can take it from there. :)

Same problem and same conclusion: have to put hands on function "modMainMenuArtXMLCallback".
But, is this a fix so "weird" to get from Artisteer's staff?

Is this bug fixed in latest 2.5 ver (perhaps 3.0 ?). I have a client who badly wants menu images... My subscription expired (I haven't got latest 2.5) and I wonder if extending subs. would help in that case...

 You can add an image to the menu from inside artisteer 2 easily, for example if you have a menu bar 1000px wide, and with the color black, then you can create an image in photoshop (or any other software) that has your logo to the left or right and the remaining space is black, and then go into artisteer and, menu > menu bar > texture > insert texture from file and select your image, normally it would tile, but because we kept the remaining area black, it will not have space to tile, you can easily set the height so that the image does not tile
