I have searched both this and the RokNavMenu forums but cannot find anything relating to using the RokNavMenu's subtext feature on the Afterburner template. We have already made some customizations to the template to allow for multiple module positions within the showcase, etc.. but cannot find info on how to enable or configure the subtext for the RokNavMenu. All plugins for the menu are installed and enabled.. and no parameters in the menu admin show for adding subtext..
any thoughts? Is this possible?
Thanks!

Not wanting to wait for a response from the moderators, I've found one solution for this.
This is based on a joomla.org forum post: forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=431&p=1990059
in the layout.php for your theme, modify this line:
<span><?php echo $item->title;?></span>
Replace with this:
<?php $split = explode('||', $item->title, 2);
$title= $split[0]."<em>".$split[1]."</em>"; ?>
<span><?php echo $title; ?></span>
Then, in the menu item title, just add a double pipe ('||') between the title and subtitle.
Obviously, you'd need to style for that contained <em> within the stylesheet.

Nice.. good find, and thanks for coming back here to post it for us all !
I'd since moved away from the Afterburner theme for this particular project,. but now that I know it's a possibility,.. I'll use it, with this mod, for another project
Thanks!

- So you know, this isn't an exact replication of what other RT templates do. They will have a subtitle field in the menu item and add the class "subtitle" to the container li. Replicating the look you see on these other themes will take a fair bit of CSS work.

(eg. if it works, and this is the best solution at hand, roll with it)
