Description
Is that possible to make custom menu blocks? How?
Thank you a lot.
#1
Currently yui menu is supporting only one block menu. In INSTALL.txt file there is a "How to add menu" subject. I think the "1- Block approach" is describing your request.
#2
The Block approach in the INSTALL.txt describe how to make a default Navigation menu. Its ok, up and running very well, but, how about the possibility to create custom block menus?
Thank you.
#3
Is possible to give more detail about what you mean by "create custom block menus" ?
#4
Sure. For example:
______________
-home
-profile
--scrapbook
--photos
--videos
--testimonials
-lists
-messages
______________
I mean the possibility to create another menu than the original one. For exemple, have 2 YUI Menus.
Thank you

I see. Currently this is not supported. I do not know how many people is using this module and how many of them wants this option. So i am not sure to spent so many time to built this multiple menu stucture.

what themes have shown some success using this menu system? I am trying to put it in marvin, and not having to much success. can someone list successful themes, and perhaps demonstration code on how to use it.
#7
Menu is not depending to any theme. But may be there can be issues with css file of the theme that you are using. Here i have attached a picture. I have no problem in marvin locally. By the way i use the block approach in my test case.
#8
I would like this to be supported, if possible. It seems that when I configure YUI Menu with a particular menu (e.g. Navigation menu) this is creating a block called "YUI Men"u, which I can then position on my page. Since it only works with one manu at a time I cannot use this on my website.
I have used other menu systems in drupal which are less attractive from usability point of view, but they create a new block for ALL menus installed. Perhaps YUI Menu could be made to do the same and the new block could be named something like "YUI Menu - "
If menus are created for each existing menu like I have suggested above, there will be no need to have any theme dependancies - it will work with any theme by creating a menu in a block which I can position in my theme.
Thanks,
Tim
