Main Menu alignment

31 Jan 2010, 05:36

Right now it's aligned to top left, but can I make it center left?

I'm looking to have the menu stationary with autohide turned off so people may click on any directory without it hiding.

Thanks!

top left vs center left? You can just go to admin -> settings -> menu.mainmenu.autohide - Set it to false, and the menu will always display on the left ...

I mean drop it from the top left to the center left while the autohide is off.

Is this possible?
Thank you

sorry, this is a bit of a paradox to implement ...

How would we position the menu if it is taller than the visitors browser stage? Cant you just set it to autohide=false and set a specific margin from the top?

Yes, and what happens when you expand a menu item? Then the menu should expand vertically both upwards and downwards?

I kept it simple and removed all my directories within each menu item. It should just stay still as I turned autohide to false.

*IF i was to add directories, yes then it would expand upwards and downwards. Not sure how it'd look though

Sorry, but I don't think the logic of left-aligning the menu is acceptable. If a menu moves both upwards and downwards as you open/close subitems, then it will be very annoying for the visitor ... There is not currently any solution for what you ask.

Even if I removed all things moving like autohide and (+) so the thing is constantly static?

Yes, then it could work ... But what happens if the users vertical screen area is really small for some reason? It will still need the option to scroll vertically.

I understand what you want and why you want it, and of course its technically possible, but right now its not implemented. At best you would have to set a certain margin from top and down to where the menu begins.

If we are gonna integrate some solution like this, we need to figure out how it can be implemented while keeping flexibility.
