Howto add another main menu with the same styling as the top
Posted 13 years 8 months ago
Using: Joomla V1.7 Ganrty V3.2.7 Template: Reflex
Hi,
When I add another bottom menu in the footer, it takes on the styling and graphics of the normal joomla menus, and I can't seem to get the correct formatting as per the MAIN MENU in the Reflex template. Can someone point me in the correct direction to make sure my new bottom horizontal menu looks the same as the top MAIN MENU. I've played in the Gantry menu settings and normal joomla menu options but just not getting it

Hi there,
If you use Firebug you will see that the bulk of the format is based on the menu position - #rt-navigation
You will need to look at your new position and edit the css to include that position for styling.
Hope this helps

Hi David
I have also tried to achieve this (have the same styling for the top and bottom menus) but even with your help I have failed.
I have Joomla 1.5 with Gantry 3.1.16 and RT_Modulus. I must be doing something wrong
Could you please explain how to "edit the css to include #rt-navigation for styling"?
I have the following styles associated with the top menu :
body class= about 15 separate classes
div ids:
rt-page-surround
rt-top-surround
rt-top
rt-top2
rt-top3
rt-container
rt-grid-12 rt-alpha rt-omega
rt-block menu-block
rt-fusionmenu
I'm guessing I should use rt-fusionmenu but I'm not sure how to
the site is designer3d.net/index.php
thank you
Steve

Hi Steve,
If you want to create same style for your site then you need to make sure that in template admin you have same settings for top section and footer section.
Then open the RokNavMenu module you are using at the bottom and ensure that you have menu theme set as gantry-fusion for that module.
This is not an exact replica of the top menu due to other elements in the index.php layout. If you need to change more after this then let me know.
Hope this helps

Hi David
thanks for the swift response. I thought it was going to be a lot harder. I was looking in css, html and everywhere for how to do this. Well done Gantry.
