Lovely module - can't live without it - but on every theme I like so far it destroys the rendering of the "tabs" for the primary links.

Great for and CSS/template advice you can offer on how to get around this issue - not a show stopper, but makes developing and tweaking the final theme a lot harder.

Thanks,

Thanks and sorry for the late reply (my various jobs and freelance gigs are huge sink on my time). To answer your question, I've made the module work (as far as I can tell) in IE,FF,Opera with the standard Drupal themes. From there, its near impossible to test every theme on drupal.org. Since Admin Menu Dropdown doesn't do much more than add some javascript that toggles the CSS display property and some CSS that sets the position to fixed, more likely than not its probably an issue with how the theme is rendering the Admin Menu.

I could be wrong though. If you can provide the themes, I can help troubleshoot what's wrong with it. Until then, there's not much more I can do.

I fully appreciate the difficulties of doing this - and part of the problem is themes use such a diversity of methods of rendering - this almost needs to go into a separate frame (shudders at the thought).

I've worked past this now by using a theme without tabs - from Roopletheme. These work exactly as I would exepct/hope - with the menu pushing the entire page contents down rather than just floating over.

Thanks again,
Gareth

I'm still a little confused at what exactly the problem is without a visual. If you can provide a theme, an image, or something else, this would provide much more help at remedying the issue.

@LCPA
I have uploaded a new version for D6 that is tested and doesn't break fieldsets. Can you give me more info?

i'll give one question :P

is this module meant for admin_menu 3.x? (note, the 6.x-3.x is buggy and not meant for production)
i tested with admin_menu 6.x-2.x

thinking on that, that might be the reason there are so many problems.

No! Admin Menu Hider 6.x-3.0 does not depend on admin menu 3.x. 6.x-3.x only adjusts CSS and does some JS animations. From the Admin Menu Hider module page:

Note:

6.x-2.x-dev requires Administration Menu 6.x-3.x-dev Admin Menu Hider 6.x-3.x does not require this.

The 6.x-2.x-dev version did require the 'buggy' admin menu, but 3.0 does not require any version of admin menu. (As far as I know.) I personally use admin menu 6.x-1.6, and it works fine.
