VERY HAPPY to have Vertical Menus(thanks Artisteer!) :-)

have started trialing the 2.4 beta version, but am confounded on how I activate the menu from within Joomla.

That makes two of us. Works great in the Artisteer design view, but once the template is installed, I cannot figure out how to activate the vertical menu.
 
Easy

Hi! After some research I figured it out :-), just put "art-vmenu" as the "Module Class Suffix".

Hallo Barbara, hast du ein Menü angelegt und es auf eine passende Menüposition, left oder right, gelegt und das Suffix "art-vmenu" zugewiesen? Bei mir hat es so funktioniert.

I have submitted a support ticket describing this issue. One last night and one this morning with pictures. No reply from Artisteer support yet.

To use vertical menu in Joomla you should set your menu's Module Class Suffix to art-vmenu as mentioned here:

Thanks to everyone for help on this!

At this stage, cannot see how to use the old 'user3' module position though.....it seems to have disappeared?

Here's what I did and FINALLY got it to work. I went to the URL http://www.artisteer.com/?p=help_joomla#joomla5 and found this below:

Applying Artisteer style to your menu
Please use the following steps to utilize menu style designed with Artisteer:

1. Go to Joomla Administrator (www.your-site.com/administrator) -> Extensions -> Module Manager
2. Open an existing menu or create a new one and place it into the "user3" position.

NOTE: the "user3" position can contain only a single menu, or none.

1. Enable multiple menu levels in Artisteer->Menu -> Subitem -> Levels -> Multilevel.
2. Go to Joomla Administration (www.your-site.com/administrator) and enable multiple levels in your menu module (Extentions -> Module Manager and click to edit menu (e.g. Top Menu) -> Module Parameters -> "Always show sub-menu Items").
3. Make sure that you have menu items at lower levels defined in Joomla.

Once I did that, it still didn't work, so I tried the "art-vmenu" as the Module Class Suffix. That, in conjunction with the instructions above, WORKED!
I am a happy camper.
:-D

Hallo,

ich habe auch das selbe Problem. Ich bekomme das Verticale Menü nicht angezeigt sondern das Main Menü. Ich habe die richtige Positon gewählt und bei suffix "art-vmenu" eingetragen. Es wird aber immer noch das Menü im Main Menü Stiel angezeigt und nicht im Vertical Menüstiel.

Was kann man noch falsch machen oder vergessen haben?

I got this to work fine as well. It very helpful.
I'm just not sure how to get the sub-menus to only appear on mouse over or click. It's eihter not showing, or when editiing sub menus in vertical menu settings in Artisteer to "Open Levels" then showing all the time.
Is there a way to get it to expand? (Accordian or to the right)

I'm having the same problem. Anybody have a solution?

(BTW, I can't use the 2.4 beta version -- it screws up the background I created in Artisteer 2.0 for a client's site. They love it, and I can't figure out how to make it look the same in Artisteer 2.4, so I've got to stick with the older version.)

Hey all,

Just figured out that separator menu items won't expand when you click on them. Just FYI.
