Menu Types

Please click the links in the list below to load the various menu styles.

  • Fusion Menu - Fusion Menu, an advanced dropdown based CSS menu. It supports both mootools powered transition and animation enhancements for its dropdown as well as a script-less format with basic, animation-less dropdowns.
  • SplitMenu - A static menu system that displays submenu items outside of the main horizontal menu (typically in the side columns but invariably underneath the menu bar).
  • No Menu Bar - This options disables / collapses the entire inbuilt menu system and the toolbar module position.

The menu type used is set via theme configuration at Admin → Theme Manager → Infuse → Menu Settings. Select your desired menu type from the dropdown and save. Also, the various mootools effects of Fusion Menu can also be configured in the theme manager.

Fusion Menu

Fusion is effectively a dropdown menu which combines the former RokMoomenu and Suckerfish systems into one, offering both javascript enhanced and basic, simple dropdown modes. The menu itself is built on the rewritten core of the latest revision of the Fusion menu, the core application behind all RocketTheme menus.

Theme Configuration

You can configure Fusion Menu at Admin → Themes → Infuse and you will find all parameters under the Menu Settings heading. .

To disable javascript in Fusion, to revert it to Suckerfish type functionality, uncheck the Enable JavaScript Menu Effects.

Subtext

Subtext is the term used to describe the secondary text placed underneath the menu title.

To add your own Subtext, go to Admin → Menus → Primary links → Select a menu item. Locate the Description field and insert your desired text.

Multiple Dropdown Columns

Fusion has the facility for dynamic column control for its dropdown. You can choose between single (1) or double (2) column modes for children of every single menu item via configuration.

To control the number of columns of each menu item, go to Admin → Theme Config → Menu Settings. Locate the Drop Down Columns field in Menu Settings and choose either 1 or 2.

Dynamic Child Direction

Typically, a dropdown menu column will extend beyond the width of the browser window if you have enough child levels. However, with Fusion, the menu detects the width of the browser and will change the direction of menu pullouts so all menu items are visible without the need to scroll.
