Re: Use image in splitmenu (gantry FW) & urgent account problem

- well the most simple solution would be to just hide the first menu item by adding this to custom css file:
  
  li.item101 {display: none;
  
  ... but of course you can also try css-image-replacement techniques like

- well these sound like viable options but i assume there isn't a semi easy way to modify the menu module with php?

- alrighty, I thought I could make it more robust with php, but screw it. They are not paying me enough for that anyway.
  
  However, I looked through the code of the logo feature and it SHOULD be clickable. However it is not... I want it to function as the home button, and it actually should according to the code.
  
  Suggestions?

- you mean with an active state?
  The logo itself is a clickable link ...

- Well if you go to the site
  dev.exo-l.com
  
  you will notice that the logo is actually not clickable.. I haven't touched the code.

- you have added some strange stuff to the css.
  add this to your css
  
  div.logo-block {
  z-index: 9999;
  }

- you could also just use image replacement like this:
  
  ul.menutop.level1 li.item101 a.orphan.item span {
  text-indent: -999px;
  min-width: 100px;
  background: url(/images/logo.png) no-repeat 50% 8px !important;
  z-index: 9999!important;
  }
  
  ul.menutop.level1 li.item101 a.orphan.item {
  min-width: 130px;}

- ok i got it working locally will push it asap.
  
  BTW what do you mean with "strange stuff"? I'm just overriding certain parts of the css to achieve the look desired. I read everywhere that modifying the core CSS is discouraged. What would you suggest? I'm trying to still learn the best practices for joomla development
