Suckerfish Multi-Level Support? [#210817]

First of all, THANK YOU for this theme. I'm surprised with how few are using it but it fits my needs PERFECTLY, so much infact that I completely abandoned my fully re-designed WhiteJazz site in order to take advantage of the layout offered by this theme.

OK, the question is simple. Nice Menus and others can support multiple levels of menus. The suckerfish menu provided doesn't seem to do so, any ideas? Also, any way to make the suckerfish stay on top of the nice menus? Thank you again, terrific theme.

I'm glad you like the theme.

Currently, built-in suckerfish supports only 2-level menus. However, it can be expanded.

I'm not sure if I understood what you mean by make suckerfish stay on top of nice menus. Could you, please, try to elaborate it a bit.

Thank you, that would help tremendously. I only ever anticipate needing 3 levels of menus, but because of how multi-faceted my site is and will be I need to categorize that much and offer centralized navigation (I think this is key).

To answer the question, I have made the primary menu a suckerfish (underneath the logo). When I put a nice menu in the Highlight Left region (one way of getting around not having 3 menu levels), the suckerfish goes to the background so it becomes hidden behind the nice menus. I'm using firefox, but I dont think this is browser specific.

Now I see. Looks like nice menu is in absolute box. I'll need some time to investigate this.

Btw, I thought a little bit about nice menu module. It would probably fit your needs well if I theme output of nice_menus and make it possible to put it where suckerfish is right now.

What do you think?

Either way is totally fine with me! I'm the wrong guy to ask though whether nice menus is better or more browser-compatible than suckerfish. All I know is it seems to be very configurable with custom css and multiple menus and multi-levels.

I guess you would have to add a region where the suckerfish is now so that we could drop in our nice menus block?

Having just seen this theme I'm impressed too. But as mentioned, beng able to take suckerfish to a 3rd level, or to have nice menus in it's place would be a real bonus :-)

Keep up the good work.
