How can I establish the top menu as you have it in your example (horizontally, subitems etc).
I use Joomla 1.6

Hi, it's quite easy. You just create your menu first using the Joomla menu manager.
Then use the module manager to assign it to position 'user3' or 'position-1'. 'position-1' is the preferred Joomla one for Joomla 1.6 but either should work. Then is should automatically display as you want. |

Thanks for the fast reply.
I tried this out but:
1) My menu shows up vertical. How can I make it horizontal. I didn't see any parameters for this layout option.
2) Drop down. Don't I need Suckerfish or a similar plugin to create drop-down menus?

Sorry there is a bug with the template that means that position-1 won't display on its own, if you set the position to user3 then it should work, the positions are the same.
If you are using a menu module other than the Joomla menu you may need to adapt the css for it to display horizontally.
You don't need a plugin for the popup menus, the template includes them. Suckerfish is the name for a common css technique for creating popup menus.
You just need to enable the option 'Show Sub-menu Items' in the menu parameters.
Joomla 1.6 is not intended to be used for production sites yet, if you are planning to use this as a production site you would do better to use Joomla 1.5, as it will be far less buggy. |

Thanks. I will try this out. I don't use it as a production site. I run 5 other Joomla 1.5 sites and am well aware of the fact that 1.6 is still beta.
But I use it as a test site and try to implement whatever is possible. I also will get familiar with 1.6 before it's out. |

Sorry, I didn't intend to insult your knowledge of Joomla. It's difficult for me to tell - our customers range from people who are completely new to this internet thingie to extremely knowledgeable and experienced developers. I thought it best to mention about Joomla 1.6 because there are probably people who don't realise it has not been officially released yet. |

No problem at all. Top menu works now. Thanks for the module position hint.
I would like to reduce in length the 2nd level drop down menu fields. They are now
around 148 pixels. I would like to reduce them to 100. I assume I have to change the menu.css of the template. Could you let me know in which line the parameter shows up?

There is no parameter controlling the 2nd level drop down fields, the only ones affecting the size are
Code:
#leftcol ul.menu li a, #rightcol ul.menu li a {
line-height:24px;
}
If you want to reduce the size of the 2nd level items then you will need to add some extra code, you will probably need to experiment a bit to get the effect that you want, probably a good place to start is
Code:
#leftcol ul.menu li ul li ul li a , #rightcol ul.menu li ul li ul li a {
line-height:18px;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
If you want to apply the same to the top menu then try
Code:
#topmenu ul.menu li ul li ul li a{
line-height:18px;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
