You need to find the place in all the template files where the line is you want the links. Since they split it up into many sections it shouldn't be too hard too find. Then you just need too put the code of the array of the menu in there. It may or may not work because the template file may not be loading the right scripts too pull in the meny so you may have to fix that too.

Open the css in note pad and just go to edit ---find

Type what u need change

let ait find it and change it

then just save it and upload it again

Thats what i do

for e107 and Drupal

The CSS file has nothing to do with where links are displayed on the page. CSS just defines styles for the page. (aka. the look of the page) The links are generated in the actual template PHP file.

Post the .zip of the template and ill take a look at it.

With CSS all you can do is change the way something looks. You can not change the name of say a link in a menu through CSS.

Yes its fine.

Since its a crap tastic template system, the menu is not generate on the template it self. Or there just was never a menu added too that template (most likely) for what ever reason. You can't really add unless you know how the script generates it because its generated on the fly depending on if you are logged in or not, and what level the user is. I would suggest you find a different template. If it happens with other templates then something is wrong with the base install of the script.

hey lewis, are u sure that the setting isnt in the CSS file? i looked again at the preview of the template and it in fact does have the menu top bar, which is located right under the top banner [header, whatever its called]

Yes i'm sure.

CSS code is just for the styles of the way a site looks. The code looks like this

#top_menu {

width : 100%;

float : left;

height : 40px;

padding : 0;

margin : 0;

overflow : visible;

background-color : #333333;

background-image : url(../images/top_menu.gif);

background-repeat : repeat-x;

}

The code for a menu would look something like this

<a href="index.php">Home</a> <a href="blog.php">Blog</a>

If you put a different template in there do you get a menu?

[Guest kamil234]

yea, other template works, i also looked at the code, and saw that in the code it says "topmenu" so i made a new menu within the joomla admin cp and i copied "mainmenu" as "topmenu" and the menu poped up on the side above where "products" are..

if this helps u any, i think the code has to do with something as whats the name of your menu on the jooma cp

You just stuck it in the wrong spot. What line did you put that on.

And also where you want a menu to go, really isnt a spot for a menu.

[Guest kamil234]

i edited some of the html, where it said user_1 user_2 user_3 user _4 , they were all set to 0's i made them 1's and the menu bar poped up right under the header, but it's just the bar, it doesnt have any links on it or anything,

as for what poped up, i didnt put any line in, i went to the menu manager where you set up all your menus and links and i renamed "mainmenu" to "topmenu" as it showed in the css code, and the menu poped up on the left side above the "products" list.

its kind of hard to explain. i can make a video or something as it would be too much for screenshots. lemme know what you need to help me out.

PS. lemme know what you need, i will get back to you when i get back from a doc, i got into a car accident yesterday and im not feeling so good right now. lol

Sometimes CMS are more problems than they are worth

I for one dont like or need all the complexity of joomla

you should try dropul or e107

dropul is even more complex then joomla. But its done in better way. Just about all CMS system's suck now a days. They just got too complex.

Where ever the image is in the code you want it too be clicked on.

If the image is placed via css then your going too have the remove the css for it, and place it your self with that code above.

[Guest kamil234]
