QUOTE:
If set to yes the top menu will be used for displaying dropdown boxes where each dropdown box corresponds to a module named dropbox1, dropbox2 etc otherwise if set to no it will be a normal Joomla Menu or module using the top position. You can set the name of the menu item for each dropdownbox and whether its published in the next set of variables.

Can you please explain in more detail how to make this work. I tried but got no results. Does a parameter need to be set in the module? Screenshots can be a great way of helping your members!

Hi Daniel,

Yep screenshots are well overdue. Should get an updated setup section happening early next month

So the steps are:

1. Select yes in the index.php file to use the Drop Boxes.
2. Populate the menu titles of the modules/dropboxes you want to use.
3. Create the dropbox module positions in the Joomla admin.
You achieve this by navigating to site --> template Manager --> Module Positions. Enter the module titles (dropbox1, dropbox2 etc) there and click save.
4. Go to the module you want to publish to the specific dropbox and select the dropbox you want to use in the module position dropdown.

As an example you may like to set the first menu item that appears in the top module position to show your latest forum posts. So to do this:

1. Set the $menu_item1 parameter in the index.php file to Latest Forum Posts.
2. Go the latest forum post module and publish it to the dropbox1 module position. Make sure the module is published.

Now when you go to the front end the first menu item in the top menu should say Latest Forum Posts and when you hover over it the latest forum post module should display beneath it.

Hope this helps
