Hello,
please, can you tell me why drop-down menus don't work?
I've set an outline structure for my pages and set for relative menus the option: "show as expanded"; I've defined block Main menu in Navigation Region, but I don't see drop-down menus.
Is this featured supported with the version 7 (with version 6 it worked) or I'm doing any mistake?
Thank you for your help

Hello,
For the drop down menus,
1) Set for relative menus the option: "show as expanded" in main menu structure and then enable the Main menu block in Navigation Region.
2) You need to modify the .info, style.css files and add a new superfish.js file to the theme js folder.

I have added basic style for the dropdown menus. You can modify the style.css file according to your need. Attaching a zip folder for this modified files.
Hope this help.

Thanks,
Prajakta

very interested. is it really so that the version for drupal 7 just doesn't support drop down menus?

prajaktam: i dont understand how to change the stylesheet so it would work?

In 7.x-2.x these are supported by default using the Superfish module. Just put a Superfish menu block in the menu bar region and you're done :)

thank you jeff burnz!

just followed the installation instructions in http://drupal.org/project/superfish
removed the "Main menu" block and instead put the "Superfish 1 (Superfish)" block. i got some color behind the rounded buttons, so i configured the block to: style = none.
also i didn't need any "Show as expanded" setting for the menu. works like a charm

Yep, thats the setting to use, the "style none", and Superfish totally controls the rendering so as you say, nothing more to do :)

Issue summary: View changes

I tried posting my issue on another thread with the same problem.

I installed Superfish on Sky theme on Adaptive Themes. They worked fine for a day, but as I did a bunch of other tweaks, they stopped expanding down and instead show this triangle pointing south where there should be a drop down. The other tweaks I did included making the theme variable for arabic and english (to be able to switch the allocation of sidebars rtl), I added a Nivo Slider, and a facebook page plugin.

the screenshots are on these links:

This is my first exposure to superfish. I set up the built in sky menus first, and found there was no response to the 'always expanded' setting, then found this issue. I installed superfish (I'm using d7), placed the superfish 1 into the menu bar region, removed the original menu block, then disabled the 'always expanded' setting for the menu. Now all I have is plain html links. The submenu, which I want to automatically drop down when the cursor passes over the parent menu entry, is below the main links and horizontal.

I have not adjusted the settings for the superfish menu because they look like they are ok out of the box. I hope I can get a response here soon.

I should note again that it's my first exposure to superfish menus. I have been assuming that the Sky theme color choices for the menu would carry over to the superfish menu - but I don't know for sure that my assumption is correct. And, I did not install the two 'recommended additions' on the superfish project page - Libraries and jquery easin. Possibly the lack of those two modules are my problem...since they were listed as 'recommended' and my need is utterly basic (one dropdown menu) I didn't want to install more than I needed to.

Now I've installed the libraries module and that didn't help.

And now I finally got around to reading the docs on installing this, and found that the js library is separate from the superfish module. I've installed the library and the menus are working now. They're not 'visible' ie they all seem to be transparent other than the text but with any luck I can solve that. Edit - have not been able to solve this.
