Hey,
I'm just starting to get familiarised with Joomla and sketching a new website layout for my dad but I am having problems to get this menu to work.

No matter what template I use it always looks like this:

testbed.luba.de/

Only on the rhuk_milkyway template does it look good.

It does not slide at all.

I have PHP 5, the latetest Joomla and no idea what I did wrong. As far as I know I just had to activate the module...right?

The Slide menu is at the bottom left. I wanted it to replace the top menu, but that does not seem to be possible.

I'd greatly appreciate any help. Once the website is running as it should I will definitely get the Pro Version, that is the least I can do.

Cheers

Try disabling your original main menu module...

Original Main Menu Module is disabled, but the problem is still there.

In the "menus" there is only the topmenu and the mainmenu. Should there be a slide menu? How would I edit this, is it linked to the mainmenu?

cheers

Have you got child menu items? Have you set it up as per the instructions here:

www.dart-creations.com/joomla/joomla-mod...ide-menu-module.html

Nearly works. I didn't give a menu direction.

Now it looks the way it should, but it does not have the slide effect. I have tried disabling and enabling main module, but nothing changes.

I feel like we are soo close to the answer

Cheers, and thanks for the help.

This may help you and others as I too was having the problem of the slide menu not working.

It was due to my not giving the module the correct name in my template index.php.

I had:

jdoc:include type="modules" name="topleft"

but it should be:

jdoc:include type="modules" name="left"

Hope this helps someone.
