Amazing menu

[svsanchez]

Hello, I just found this amazing menu and would like to know if it would be possible to use it with WB?

Depends on what you want to use of the menu.
But out of the box with showmenu2 i think not!

If you are searching for a mega menu take a look on my site: http://nibz.nl/template/mega-menu/

Hello nibz, that's a great navigation menu you are working on! I guess this one does work with showmenu2 out of the box? How many sub levels can your menu handle?

What I liked the most from the menu I posted is:

1) The "mega menu" where you can include what looks like a small html page with columns and images
2) The possibility of adding small icons to each menu item
3) The possibility of deciding if you want the sub levels to slide or appear in an accordion way
4) The login and search features do also look great!

I hope WB menus can become as advanced as this with showmenu3

Thank you, and yes it works with showmenu2. When you add more then 2 the menu will automatically change to an mega menu. The menu normally handles 3 levels, but it can handle more without problems. (maybe some extra css would be good, but it allready works with more than 3 levels).

1) I think this will never be a feature of showmenu. Because adding (wysiwyg)content is to complex to just work with showmenu. But what maybe can be done is a separate "menu-maker" module (something like the menusystem of wordpress), where you can create the menu and the contentblocks with this module.  Just thinking out loud
2) This is also a little bit more complex to do with showmenu2, in the new WB version you can add page images (but you really don't need images; you need fonts), maybe you can add them using FontAwesome and naming your page something like

Code: (untested) [Select]

<i class="icon-thumbs-up"></i>your page name3)See point 1; this also is to complex, but maybe can be added in a seperate "menu-maker" module
4)This is already possible hardcoded.

The complete menu can work with WB but you need to put in the code, this means the menu will not update automaticly.

My advise, if you really like the menu. Just create it and put in the code ("hardcoded") this will work.

If you have more questions about my mega-menu solution don't hessitate to ask them in the topic about this "template / menu" http://www.WebsiteBaker.org/forum/index.php/topic,21792.0.html

Have a nice weekend!

Hello Robin, thank you very much for your extended answer, this is why I love so much WB and this community. Hopefully more expert programmers like you will join WB and continue developing even further this already amazing CMS. I will try your suggestion about adding an image with the fonts (I guess you mean is like using the "wingdings" fonts in word?).

Have a nice weekend you too!

I in no way am an expert.
But thanks for the compliment.

Thi <i> solution will not work. I just teste it. And in the fronted you just will get this as text output. (I tjink because of safety).
