I just published a new template using the sidebar and vertical menu; how I get the vertical menu to display in Joomla, I do not see it as a component in the Module Manager.
Please advice any ideas?, Thanks!

By setting the Module Class Suffix to art-vmenu I was able to get the vertical menu style but the subitems are not collapsing after expanding a menu item.
Please advice if you experienced similar problems, thank you!

Yes, you should set your menu's module class suffix to art-vmenu to start using vertical menus, please visit following link for more details: http://www.artisteer.com/?p=help_joomla#joomla5
You should provide a screenshot showing the background color issue.

I found a solution for the subitems in another thread... This may help for some people ;)
subitems :
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 v 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.

I too am struggling with vertical menus in 2.4, and cannot get the sub-items to show when the parent item is selected in mainmenu.
As I understand it, they should work in position left with module class suffix set to art-vmenu. The only way the sub-items show is if they are set to "Always show" in the Module Parameters .
I am running the standard Joomla sample content on XAMPP.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

Really puzzled now...
It seems to be working now but don't understand what I may have changed to make it work.
Definitely need sub-items to "Always show" in Module parameters but when I tried this yesterday, they did just that - they ALL always showed under all parent menu items!
Also art-vmenu should be in Module Class Suffix as per the latest "installing and using Joomla templates" on the Artisteer web site - not as another forum suggested in the Menu Class Suffix.
Hope this proves reliable - ...

I think the solution is inside Type of menu element for the parent I use a alias....but impossible to choose "nothing" for that and because you must click on it... When I choose an article, the menu collapse but when I click it not open the submenu but goes to article.
I'm french sorry for poor English...

Note that subitems will not appear on mouse hovering but only when you click on the parent item (except for menus with open levels, where all sub-items are visible).

@ Vincent
Submenu items must have parent items.

For those who got the vertical menu to work, what menu item type are you selecting for the parent? Thanks.

For above post, I found the answer that worked for me here http://www.artisteer.com/Default.aspx?post_id=131381&p=forum_post
There are so many posts on this, and so many people were saying they got it to work but I couldn't. They may have been following the above info without realizing they were doing it.

I have also been having the same problem and here is a step by step solution to the best of my ability:
1. Create your Menu Item in Menu Manager (Joomla Admin backend)
2. Create one menu item for that menu item
3. Add a few submenu items for the menu item in 2 above
4. Add a menu module by going into extension => module manager
5. In the modules advanced settings type the following value art-vmenu into the space given for Module Class Suffix
6. Set the Menu name in Module Parameters to the one you created in 1 above
7. Choose your menu position as left or right depending on your template positions
8. Visit your front-end and observe

I want *all* sub-items to display for *all* items, *all* the time. How do I do that in a vertical menu? I do not want the default behavior of only showing sub-itmes for a clicked main item. Thanks!

Simply select "open levels" from: Vertical menu-> sub items while in Artisteer.

Hi,
I am having a problem with creating multiple menu's.
Once I have created the menu in module manager it displays in the front end but all of the menus display the same thing. Meaning I now have multiple menu's all displaying Home as there title. Any suggestions to fix this will be highly appreciated.
I have created multiple sites all the same way and only now am experiencing this problem.
