Hello,

Is it possible to have several levels/sub levels in the header dropdown menus?

In my test install, this looks to be impossible.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi – Yes.  The CBOX theme uses the built in WordPress menu functionality.  You can read about it here – http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide You can easily set up sublevel menus using drag and drop.  Go to Appearance>>Menus to get started.

Thank you Scott.

Of course I know Appearance>>Menus. But, I would like to have multilevel menus, as shown in the attachement and it seems that the Common In a Box Theme does not provide that feature (but just one level in the drop down menus).

I really need this feature to decide to change my theme.

Hi – But can’t you use the built-in WP menu functionality?  It can do multiple levels, as shown in your screenshot.

Thanks for noting the bug, Bossancourt.

I have already posted an issue about this here:
https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cbox-theme/issues/121

The theme developers will look into it once they have some time.

Thanks Ray – I was using Firefox and didn’t see an issue.  I guess that’s the only browser its working on.

In fact it is also ok for Camino, but doesn’t work on Chrome and – of course – on IE.

Sorry Scott, I haven’t seen it was (just) a browser issue. I hope it will be fixed soon, specially for Chrome.

Hi folks,

I was wondering if there have been any developments with extended browser support for multi-level menus.

(Being a newbie and) Having assumed that the CBOX theme would support multi-level menus I’ve found that they work fine in Firefox but not in Chrome or IE as has already been reported.

I am building a big new site that should go live in the next two weeks.  The site will have lots of content – 150+ pages initially – that I had planned to set up with multi-level menus (some with legs up to 4 levels deep).  Should I stick with that plan or radically alter the site design?

Best regards … Michael

@michael-scott I posted a pull request on GitHub today. The changes work for me in webkit browsers and IE8, though the styling is off in IE8 which does not render submenu backgrounds.

Hi Christian,

The second-level (and beyond) menus only appear for me with Firefox and not Chrome or IE.  It’s a big concern for me with som many connected page that naturally have a cascading relationship.

It’ll be good to know when deeper level menus will be supported in the other browsers – assuming it’s a browser issue.

Best regards … Michael

Hi Christian,

I take my last post/comment back.  I followed the trail and modified base.js as per suggestions:

dropShadows: false,   onShow: function() {
$(this).css(‘overflow’,’visible’);
}
And the lower-level menus now appear in Chrome and IE.

Thanks very much!

Best regards … Michael
