About your top menu

Hi Drupalguy,

To be honest it's not something I've had to resolve because it's never been an issue. I populated the menu and everything went just where I wanted it to. Maybe I was lucky.

One thing I'd suggest is to ensure you're using the correct variation of menu links. I did not use primary or secondary links at all. I used the Superfish Menu option inside the Menu panel. Here's a screenshot of how I've got things set up-

Let me know if this helps, or if I can help anymore. Drupal is such a wonderful CMS I'm always happy to help out the community where I can.

thanks for the reply Matt,

This is the module I need correct?

http://drupal.org/project/superfish

I created the menu and it creates it as a block, then I am supposed to assign the block to a specific area of the page. I was wondering how you got your Superfish Menu to appear where it is, because under blocks I can only assign the Superfish Menu Block to header, suckerfish menu, or user 1, 2, etc for the top section. Did you have to change something on one of the theme's files, like the template file? I noticed your menu is also centered and LiteJazz usually has it defaulted to the left. Thanks.

Drupal is a great CMS, it is actually the first CMS I have ever used and I am learning a lot of it fast, but there is still so much more to learn. Also in case you haven't noticed, RooplerTheme, who created Litejazz theme appears to be gone now:

Hi there,

I haven't modified any of my template files so it can't be that. When I go to blocks I get a region called Superfish Menu. Have you got your Superfish menus turned on in the theme set up, if not go to admin>themes, find the litejazz theme and select configure. Then turn on the 'use suckerfish menus' option. You can also find the page at-

There should be no need to install the superfish module as all you need comes with the theme. Just checked the Roopletheme site and it's thankfully back up.

I used some special code in the local content file to centre the menu, let me know if you want more info and I'll post it here for you.

Hope that helps

thanks, that worked. The problem is that I was trying to use that module instead of the default block that is already in there. Can you tell me how you got your menu to be centered just in case I decide to do that in the future?

Also are you any good with Views? I am basically wanting to do something just like this page here:

http://armorgames.com/category/arcade

Every time they add a new game to a specific section, like Arcade Game, or Shooting Game, etc, it shows the most recent game first, then pushes all the other games back a slot, and eventually makes more pages. I am just now learning views and I believe what you are supposed to do is create a "Node Reference Field" but the issue I am having is how do you get the image to display under the game's title.

Ah I see, that's great, I've actually managed to help someone with Drupal hehe. Glad we got it sorted.

As for the code to centre the menu, I used a local content file and added my own custom css. The local content file can be enabled from the same screen you enabled the superfish menu from my previous reply. Once you've added the local content file, here's the code you can add-

It should work in yours too unless you've changed the default block name.

As far as views go, I'm certainly no expert but the module would be able to achieve what you're after very comfortably. You'd basically need to create a views page and use the publishing date as the filter. I'd recommend spending time playing with views on a test site, it takes a while to get into it but once you do it'll be one of the most used modules you install. I'd also recommend looking into CCK module for creating custom nodes with as many various fields as you need, and the Panels module to help present the data from CCK and views. I use all three on this site.

Hope that helps
