    • Ok, I looked back over my menu and realized I was saying it incorrectly. What I am looking for is a modification to the buttonstyle menu. So that it will display the su menu items of each parent menu item when the button is moused over rather than only showing them when the button has been lciked. Hopefully that makes more sense:) I figured out the file I probably need to modify is the rt_splitmenu2.php file. I looked through the file trying to see where the mouse over effect is created, unfortunately, it's not as plain as I am used to , stating either hover or mouseover. I think the section for it is:
      // Active Menu highlighting
          $current_itemid = trim( mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'Itemid', 0 ) );
          if ( !$current_itemid && !$hilight ) {
               //$id = '';
          } else if (($current_itemid == $mitem->id || $hilight)) {
               if ($level == 0) {
                    $tab_color = $id;
                    $menuname = $mitem->name;
                    $hilightid = $mitem->id;
               } elseif ($level == 1) {
                    $hilightid2 = $mitem->id;
                    $menuname = $mitem->name;
               }
               $active = 'active_menu';
          } 
          
          $id = ' class="' . $active . '"';
          $mitem->link = ampReplace( $mitem->link );

      But that is all greek to me with all of the variables and such:( So any help here would be greatly appreciated:)

    • Ok, you described it much better than me:)lol I read your comment, and realized it had been a really long time since I had seen supersucker in action, and didn't really remember it's features. So I went through each bemo template, until finding the supersucker in action on the lime versatility one, and yes, that is what I am looking for. The menu to behave like supersucker, but to show as uttons on the buttonmenu rather than the text tabs of the normal menu. So basically, I suppose the idea would be supersucker with images?

      :) Hello Youyou, i've not seen you around for a while. Welcome back.

      Hey :)
      Yes I have disappeared a bit theses days. The forum is became too huge and I'm feel lost now ;D
      Too many posts I have missed ... I'm outdated :)

      @William
      If I was you I would have start with rt_supersucker.php.
      I am almost sure that it is possible.
      But that will be differently acchieved than it is done in the buttonmenu.
      And you will have lot of css change in supersucker.css.
      In all case you will spend lot of time :)
      Good luck

    • So there's no easy way to do this? Like perhaps making the Parent menu items an image instead of a box with text in it? I'm just not very good at this menu making thing. The other problem I know I will have is, once it is made, trying to get it to integrate into the vortex template...lol.

      Thank you,

    • I would be more than happy to pay a fee for this:) As close as I am to launch of the site, I'd happily pay someone to fix any of the things I still have problems with:)
