Hi, I like this menu!

But I have a problem using sbd with Pony Galery.

The sbd menu is OK: main menu unfolds submenu smoothly by mouse over, the active (sub)menu point is highlighted when visiting any type of page within joomla standard installation 1.x. The menu stays unfolded after navigating directly from Mainlink1/submenu1 to Mainlink2/submenu2.

But if a submenu link leads directly to a categorie page within my pony galery, the whole menu then is closed, and i lose my actual position. This is my problem. In addition to that: Then, if I open the menu manually, my active submenu point (my actual position) is not highlighted.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

Further Info
The Joomla Link Type to the PonyGalery Page ist &quot;URL&quot;, and I pasted the URL of a certain galery page inside Pony Galery, to get there directly.<br><br>Post edited by: Tulp, at: 2008/04/26 03:54

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

As long as the link is in the accordion modules menu (i.e main menu), I believe it should work - however:

Do you have any SEF modules running or Joomla's default turned on?

Do you have a link that we can have a look to see if we can see whats going on.

Many Thanks

Hi, thanks for your answer!


I don´t run any SEF Modules, I´m using Joomla´s default settings.

and I´m using the template Trenco www.joomlademo.de/index.php?option=com_f...age&amp;Itemid=1

You can have a look at my page in progress:
http://www.dingkuhn.de/cms

Hi,

You mentioned you pasted the link directly in your first, so I presume the menu type is a URL. If so try altering this to:

www.dingkuhn.de/cms/index.php?option=com...gory&amp;catid=1

The url contained the wrong Itemid for the menu item, you can enable the debug mode for the module by adding &amp;sdbDebug=1 to the end of the browser URL. In your case:

Here you can see your Itemid in the URL is 31, but looking at the array id, it needs to be 34.

Hope this helps.

Many Thanks, your hint helped me al lot!
Bye

Sorry but I'm a rookie and I don't understand how to solve this problem. Your explanation isn't clear enough to me, could you detail just a little bit what to do to check/change this itemID? What is the reason for such a difference of ItemID?
Thanks a lot!
