Menu tab not showing when seperator menu item

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi Guys,

I assigned on of my menu tabs to be a seperator menu item type and it has no CSS assigned to it. (I remember when the template was first released it did this yet chose to make it into a section and category menu item and then forgot to mention it)

The dropdown menu CSS off the seperator works, anyway you will see exactly what I mean.

Cheers

Hey Craig,

Sorry about that - I was certain I had dealth with separators but obviously not.

in the caramel.css change the first line to this:
#nav a,#nav ul li span.mainlevel span.expanded {background-color: #493311;color: #FFCC99;}

then in the menu.css change the nav ul li ato this:

#nav ul li a,#nav ul li span.mainlevel span.expanded {padding: 2px 10px 4px 10px;font-size: 16px;-moz-border-radius: 2px;-khtml-border-radius: 2px;-webkit-border-radius: 2px;border-radius: 2px;text-decoration: none}

That'll fix it.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for that, nearlly got it sorted

>> When I click on one of the dropdown menus off weblinks it disapears, then reappears if I navigate away to home for example

Hi Anthony,

I know you are busy with the next template release, when ya get some time could you throw me a snippet to get my seperator menu tab showing when active.

Am not sure why the 'weblinks seperator menu tab' is not picking up on the second line when active, have tried a few things but my attempts are proving futile. :S

/*
Top Colours for the menu
*/
#nav a,#nav ul li span.mainlevel span.expanded {background-color: #493311;color: #FFCC99;}
#nav a#active_menu.mainlevel_current,#nav a.mainlevel_active {background: #493311;color: #FFEAD5}
#nav a:hover {background: #493311;color: #FFCC99}

Hey Craig,

Sorry we seemed to have missed your last post mate.

Just a couple more selectors to add to the style.

In menus.css edit line 6 to be

#nav ul li a, #nav ul li span.mainlevel span.expanded, #nav ul li span.mainlevel_active
{
padding: 2px 10px 4px 10px;
font-size: 16px;
-moz-border-radius: 2px;
-khtml-border-radius: 2px;
-webkit-border-radius: 2px;
border-radius: 2px;
text-decoration: none
}

In the caramel.css file

Line 2 should be

#nav a#active_menu.mainlevel_current, #nav a.mainlevel_active, span.mainlevel_active
{
background: #493311;
color: #FFEAD5
}

I think that should cover it but let me know if I've missed a style somewhere.

Cheers,
Jason.
