I'm fairly new at this - I apologize if this is the wrong place to post.

I downloaded the fusion dev theme for Drupal 7, extracted it, and followed the directions to create a subtheme based on fusion_starter. I have been unable to get the superfish/drop down menus to work though.

The directions look a bit different as they were written for D6 (talking about primary links, for example), but I've created an item in main menu that has child items and the parent menu is set to "Show as expanded", but nothing pops up.

Am I missing a step somewhere? Do I need to be copying script references somewhere to my info file or something?

On a related note - the starter theme references a bunch of "sf-menu" classes like so: .main-menu-inner ul.sf-menu. I see no reference to "sf-menu" anywhere in the outputted html though. I had difficulty setting a background image for just those menu links, but did it with
#block-system-main-menu {
background-image: url(../images/tabslice.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: bottom;
}
instead. I don't know if that's correct either because the css seemed to imply these things could be set through these sf-menu classes.

If someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Fusion for Drupal 7 does not have the superfish menu built-in, because there is already a great module that handles it better than we could in the theme!

Get the Superfish module here: http://drupal.org/project/superfish

@sheena I cannot get this module to work at all it keeps asking for the superfish libraries, which i already have installed in the correct directory.

@xbrianx - Sounds like that is an issue with the Superfish module and/or Libraries module. I would recommend double-checking the file permissions on your server and reading back through those modules' documentation to make sure you didn't miss any steps. I would also try completely deleting and re-installing all components of those two modules, as well as updating to the most recent recommended version of Fusion (7.x-2.0-alpha2).

If that does not resolve the issue, I would suggest seeking support in those modules' issue queues unless you find some direct relationship between Fusion and your issues.

Thanks,
Sheena

Shouldn't references to .sf-menu in the default fusion stylesheet be removed? It implies otherwise that those selectors are active by default.

They have been removed. See: #1346552: Remove default Superfish styling and Superfish-related skins from Fusion Core

If you notice specific styles that remain, please open a new issue with details about the the location of the remaining styles related to superfish (or better yet, with a patch!).

I had the same question; however, I decided to customize a style that came with Superfish. I first tried copying one of their styles and giving it a new name but don't know how to get that name to be active in Drupal. Is this possible?

I would also add that I seen the same batch of sf menu options in the css file; however, it was not in the core but in the starter them css file.
