hi..I have created a website in drupal 6.22 and the link to it is http://isrg.shef.ac.uk/drupal. I have created a block named left bar and added all the menu item in it. Now when i place my left bar in the "menu region" I get a drop down, but If I place my left bar into the "left vertical side bar" i don't get the drop down option for my menus. You can see it on my website. Can you help me with this????

Pratik,

If you're looking for the actual pop-out feature on hover, then you're not going to be able to get that from the left menu. It only works on the top. You'll have to do some serious modification of the CSS to make the pop-out feature work. I don't think that with that level of CSS, you're going to get much help here.

I just want the sub menus to be hidden the parent menu and open when i open the parent menu. Is it not possible? is there no other way?

Have you edited the menus items to be expanded in the Drupal menu settings?

I have struggled with this on and off, and yes, Artisteer does not allow for dropdown functionality when using a Drupal vertical menu.

I did find a solution that worked for me (Drupal 7).

1.) As taken from post http://www.artisteer.com/?post_id=155060&p=forum_post,
Insert the following CSS into your theme:

ul.art-vmenu:hover li, ul.art-vmenu:hover ul li, ul.art-vmenu li:hover ul, ul.art-vmenu li:hover ul li
{
display:block;
}

2.) Make sure your menu items are marked with "show as expanded".

3.) Enable module "DHTML Menu"

I am not sure If I got your problem right but I am using

Drupal 7.x
Artisteer R3.1 (latest RC release)

and when I choose "expand on hover" for the vertical menu, it works fine for me as long as I put each parent menu item to "show as expanded". This is a necessary step (children items should not have that attribute unless they also have childen).

Anyway, I did not have to add any CSS code or do anything else (like module enabling) for my vertical menu to expand vertically on hovering the mouse over it.
