Anyone using FlexNav?

Posted by gerontas on December 17, 2012 at 12:13pm

Has anyone used FlexNav in their theme? If so I would be very grateful for some guidance on how you achieved it.

I would need to use it with my main menu but can't see how to get the classes etc set up.

Thanks

I would recommend you Superfish.
Its much more powerful and easyer to use.

Hey, I was just wondering the same thing :)

Here's a module to assign menu classes http://drupal.org/project/menu_attributes

Please let me know if you find anything else out. I'll try and do the same.
BTW I don't think the SuperFish option is very responsive at the moment so I'm not interested in that myself.

@BalckyWhoElse - thanks but I

@BalckyWhoElse - thanks but I need something different than Superfish which I already use. Using s-f with a responsive site needs several versions of the menu - or at least quite a bit of css to manage the orientation of the menu. I like the way FlexNav handles this so simply.

@nodecode - will look at menu_attributes - thanks. Will be interested to hear if you get it working.

You could modify, or have somebody modify superfish to work with a flexible layout?

Thanks @effortlessHR. I could

Thanks @effortlessHR. I could modify s-f but I like the way FlexNav sets a break point and switches to the single drop-down. It is more accessibe than say TinyNav which uses a standard select list which can be difficult to style reliably and may not be the best solution for small mobile screens and fat fingers.

Having just looked at various resposive menus on an Android tablet, none work perfectly. There is discussion at http://drupal.org/node/1721390 of using s-f to be responsive but quite a lot needs to be done to get it working.
The FlexNav demo is actually quite poor on Android
Needs further research I guess.

This looks more promising. It as most of the characteristics of FlexNav but with some code for Drupal

I use Flexnav in combination

I use Flexnav in combination with the omega theme for all my projects. I tested it out on Iphone and Android, works pretty great...

Did you guys have problems on

Posted by DriePie on January 12, 2013 at 10:33am

Did you guys have problems on Andoid with this menu? I use the andoid emulator to test it out... and it seems to be working just fine.

It works on a tablet screen

Posted by gerontas on January 12, 2013 at 5:24pm

It works on a tablet screen in android but i have not yet tested it in an actual small screen (ie when it collapses into just the 'menu' link)

Can you give any advice about how you got it working?

Not FexNav but a good solution

Posted by gerontas on February 3, 2013 at 12:10pm

I just wanted to complete this with this update

I never got FexNav working but am using the latest version of adaptivetheme which ships with an excellent implementation of a mobile menu toggle which is the best solution to responsive menu that I have found so far. It works by replacing the menu region with an expandable 'menu' link link on mobile screens.
