This is a MODx adaptation of the default CMS Made Simple template set. It provides standard vertical bullet menus, css dropdown horizontal and vertical menus and split menus for one or two columns. Of course, acknowledgements to the CMS Made Simple designers.

For all templates, you need the PrevNext snippet:

For bullet menus, you need to add the activeTreeOnly option in DropMenu and Susan's hack:

For split menus, you need to add the startFromParent option in DropMenu:

Hi!

This template is awesome !!! Thank you!

I am trying to modify it a bit and I would like to get the menu item that is active to be into a different color.
It works for menu items that have nested childs but not for lonely ones!

For example :
MenuItem_A -> SubMenuItem_A1
MenuItem_B (no submenu)

If the user selects "SubMenuItem_A1", the "MenuItem_A" items has the different color.
But If he selects "MenuItem_B", the "MenuItem_B" item keeps his old one (I am using the cssmenu-horiz_1-col template)!

It seems that "MenuItem_B" has to get the class="menuactive" in his LI tag :
<li class="menuactive"><a href="index.php?id=15" title="">MenuItem_B</a></li>

I did the 4 modifications you mentionned but didn't used the startFromParent variable.

Any idea of how I could do this?

Any idea of how I could do this?

DropMenu should set the hereClass to every root. I guess it is a css thing.

Code:

.here ul li {;} /*for MenuItem*/
.here ul li ul li {;} /*for SubMenuItem*/

Does it help?

Hi dernier_recours!

Tanks for your fast reply!

Does it help?

Actually no, I am not really good at using css! 

I checked on a fresh intallation of the template but it doesn't work neither! Or at least not on my configuration (I am using FireFox and/or Konqueror).

It really seems that the

Code:

class="menuactive"

isn't given to the

Code:

<li><a href="index.php?id=15" title="">My Page</a></li>

to finally make the

Code:

<li class="menuactive"><a href="index.php?id=15" title="">My Page</a></li>

that would work...

As I am more a programmer than a designer, if this is something that can be fixed on the css, could you show me where please?

Thank you!

Hi,
Great looking template, i have a question...

How do you install this template...? I've used Etomite, but just starting out with Modx, I've downloaded the links above but where do I upload my files too... to replace the standard stock template..?

Any help would be great..

Chris.

You upload the folder with the css and images into assets/templates/

Then you have to, in admin, create the template and paste in the html part of it.

Hope that helps!

[Chris Fancy]

Thanks for the tip...

Another question..

Where do i put the tpl fils...? and there was no html file to paste into a new template...!

see attached screen shot of the tpl file in the archive i downloaded from this string...

[Wikimig]

Hi!

Actually the content of the *.tpl files is what you have to put on the new model you create!

Each .tpl file is the content of a HTML model. For example, you can create a model named "bulletmenu-vert_1-col" (or whatever you want) and copy/past the content of bulletmenu-vert_1-col.tpl in it.

This new model then uses the files you uploaded before.

Create one model for each .tpl file you want to use.

Then just specify the one you want to use through the Administration/System Configuration/Default Template

Thanks I'll try it...

BTW, do you managed to get all menu items assigned the specific color to show the current page selected?

This is what I explained lately :
