I think people that have these grievances forget about how a cms works.

In joomla, accordian menus and superfish ones need to be installed as components and then you can select them as a certain type of module.

I don't see any artisteer could do this legally and logistically.

They would have to program their own unique components or cut a deal with someone who has made their own. Then instead of bumping out a template folder or zip, it would have to spit out component files for you to install.

Setting up a CMS can be pretty easy, but skinning it and getting all the cool things to work right takes at least some intermediate code knowledge.

It's not a point and shoot kind of thing, so if you're trying to blame artisteer for not providing you with some kind of feature that you have no idea about how it's implemented, maybe you should look in the mirror and realize that artisteer provides a very easy and powerful way to make a template that installs like a snap, and that you are the one who isn't fulfilling their end of the deal in regards to the your demands about it's functionality within the CMS.

Really eteich and Phil? All we are asking is that the vertical menus to work as the horizontal menus. The vertical menus operate with the CSS files produced by Artisteer. Why can't we have the same behavior with the Vertical menus as well?

No one is blaming Artisteer to begin with, we are just asking for this feature to be added to the vertical menus, which can be done with CSS - period. Obviously you don't know what you are talking about.

In fact here is the code you can insert manually in the CSS files, but it does not work with Chrome: The not working with Chrome is a big deal, but I don't know how to fix it...

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

Any additional help from you Joomla "geniuses" would be great, otherwise think before attacking us, without having a clue what's going on here... Not everybody is a Joomla user, we need a universal solution to include the Drupal users, the Wordpress users, and for the CMS I'm using, the html template users.

This will make your script work in webkit browsers like Chrome and safari

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;
}

Confirmed. ESAM you are a freakin' genius. We no longer have to beg Artisteer to do this. Just add your code in the additional CSS code. In fact, it's better this way. We can choose which way we want it to function.

About making them flyout to the right or left, that's a whole new issue.

Thanks a million ESAM, I will never forget this. You are exempt from my Joomla "genuises" statement. You are more than a genius...!!! Nobody else could find a solution here, just bad attitudes.

In V2.5 you have to put the code manually anywhere in the CSS files. In Version 3.0, go to export options-> Additional CSS, and drop the code in the box... I have the Standard Edition, I'm not sure if this option is available in the Home and Academic edition.

Hey, I have 3.0 and tried the vmenu on a Joomla site. I can't get it to work.

With your code pasted in the Additional CSS:

The side menu does work on mouse over in Artisteer itself and when I preview in browser (both IE and FF)

However when I export and upload the template I just get plain text for the side menu, it is supposed to be buttons (just the default ones in artisiteer).

What am I missing?

Still does not work

Actually it works when you preview but not when you install. And i checked that sublevels are on



I believe this is same as me. It work in preview, but does not work when exported and published. I have tried "Always show sub items" to Yes and made sure I added the vmenu to Module Class Suffix.

Still Nothing....

Yep I am having the same problem, it works fine in art and in the browser preview but not when installed in a joomla site. I have made the module suffix art_vtmenu.

Hey people, is there a way to deselect vertical menu from Artisteer file altogether? :-)

I mean I'm building a very simple business card-style site and top menu will be enough for me.

Thanks.

This is beginning to get ridiculously funny :-D

Please...which *.CSS file in the template do I put the code? :-(

I understand your post from 1/10/2011 but I have tried to put the code in template.css but it doesn't do anything.
I'm on Artisteer 2.6 because my hardtime earned, goodlooking template made there doesn't work in 3.0 when using W7 64 bit. The support couldn't solve the problem.
I will try a test template in version 3 with the export option and let you all know if it works in Joomla 6.1

So now I have tested with the first design that comes up in Artisteer V3
I put the code from ESAM's post above...

ul.art-vmenu:hover li, ul.art-vmenu:hover ul li, ul.art-vmenu li:hover ul, ul.art-vmenu li:hover ul li 


...into the CSS options before export. Looks like this:


Absolutely nothing is happening in Joomla. The same vertical menus as before.
Anyone else that can come up with some working sollution?

It works fine for the html templates, even with V3 beta 2. It must be a Joomla issue I guess. I can't help you there, I don't use Joomla, I use another CMS.

And yes, you input the code in the CSS options, before export, ot with older versions, in style.css (html template). I don't know if you get the style files when exporting for Joomla. It's funny though, the person who I still am very grateful, was a Joomla user.

YES!!! Thank you. It works and the hover is a bonus as all I wanted was it to expand.

Okay, but my issue was the menu wasn't expanding at all in Safari. All the other major browsers yes, Safari no. Until I applied this code. I even used the defaut template in Artisteer (the one that displays at startup) and didn't make any changes. It still didn't work.

Also, where can I get V 3.1? I have 2.6...

This is great news for 3.1. Will there be an option for have css3 options and fallback to older methods in the IE sheets? Transparency in drop down sub items would rock as well. I still gotta say it's a fantastic app :)

Thank you, and I'm not being sarcastic. I'm glad I started this topic, and very thankful Artisteer was listening after all.

YOU GUYS ROCK !!!
