    • Horiz menu items not showing

    Posted by arpberta posts: 4

    Horizontal menu items (sub menus) not showing (Topbar menu). Vertical menu items display correctly (Left menu)

    Upgraded from TW 9.1 to 9.4 then to 10.1 hoping it would fix the problem. Have been creating menus since TW 3.0 and have not had this problem before.

    Using the following Module parameters:
    {menu id=44 type=horiz css=y nobox=y overflow=y}

    Even when I move the TW main menu to the Topbar it does not show the sub menu items.

    Read several similar posts, but none of the fixes seem to work.

    I tried different themes to no avail.
    TW installed on a shared Linux host.
    Using a PC with Windows 7.
    Browsers: IE 9, Lastest Firefox, Chrome, and Safari

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Rick,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Since my post I updated another TW site that was on 9.4. The sub menus are showing correctly. I then upgraded that site to 10.1 and the sub menus are showing correctly.

    After comparing the two sites, on the site where the sub menus are 'not' showing correctly I noticed when I go to edit the menu module there are no module options (Basic, Module, Appearance, Visibility) for my menu. On the site where it works correctly the module options are available for my menu.

    I deleted my menu and module and recreated my menu/module and even though the module options button is there it does not work.

    It looks like you've got several modules inside one another (AFR Menu 2 contains AFR_menu_2ol) and then menu 44 inside that. You'll need to adjust the overflow__ property for that module.

    Notice that you have the same issue with your vertical menu in the left column: the secondary items get cut off.

    Instead of modifying the CSS overflow properties, have you considered simply using the Tiki Menu module instead? This way you won't need to adjust/override any of the CSS. See the docs for details.

    Again, this is because you've created a custom/user module for your menu instead of using the default Menu module. While is completely valid (and very useful in some situations), you may need to adjust the CSS to fit your customization.

    Rick,

    Thanks, was un-aware of the module menu. after reading your documentation link I changed id 44 menu to module menu and it is still not displaying sub menus. See attached screen shot. I do not want to modify the CSS overflow properties if posssible. I've just never had this problem before in any of the TW installation from versions from 3.0

    Thanks
