Just found, installed and jumped and shouted with joy about ARI Ext Menu. Brilliant. Solves my need. Really easy. Commented on joomla extensions.

Need some help: Probably very easy for the pros here.

I would like all drop down menus to be equal width, i.e. the width of the widest entry or where a vertical line appears to be the width of the sub-menu that drops down, so it's a uniform box. Currently every menu item is a different width and it looks strange, irregular. I tried setting the width in Ari Ext Menu module to "non automatic" but this has no effect. I probably need to assign a width to items in the menu or make other changes, but їwhere? їhow? Any pointers much welcome.

I also want to make the height of the horizontal menu bar in ARI Ext Menu match the pill endings in my site. Currently the ARI menu is thicker than the pill endings and this also looks strange. I tried changing the font, but it makes no difference.

You can have a look at:

Hope you can point me in the right direction.

Many thanks for reading and thanks for any help.

Hello,

It happens due to templates styles override menu styles. Add the following CSS rules to template CSS file that fix it:

Many thanks. This solved the width problem.

I would much appreciate further help:

- їWhere can I find a donate button? I've been looking for a donate button to contribute for the ARI Ext Menu and can't find it. (I did already review in the Joomla extensions directory and will add a comment praising the fast response.)

- їHow can I change the background colour of the menu to match my site? Any pointers for me to go into the pertinent file to make the changes would be appreciated.

- їHow can I change the menu height to match the pillbox rounded endings in my site? Any pointers for me to go into the propper file to edit would be much appreciated.

Your help is much appreciated and I am already thrilled with the fast and easy result.

Many thanks for your work and your help.

Good day.

You are welcome. Regarding your questions:

1. We don't have donate button, if you want to donate some money, you can buy Work Unit, but it costs $5.

2. You can change menu styles using menu.min.css file which is located by the following path:

<joomla_dir>/modules/mod_ariextmenu/mod_ariextmenu/js/css/menu.min.css

one note, this is minified file, original CSS file (menu.css) you can find in the same folder. See the following CSS rules in this file:



3. You can add the following CSS rules to template CSS file:

Many thanks again.

My review in the Joomla extensions directory is not yet up. When it is I will see if I can add a comment regarding your very quick and absolutely excelent responses and help here in this forum.

The CSS code works great: The menu is now the same height as the pillbox endings. Looks great.

Since the colour scheeme requieres CSS, I'll forget about that.

I tried buying three work credits because I saw most of your software is $15 and decided to contribute that much since your program ARI Ext Menu is great, but there was some problem. I'll try again.

Many thanks for your help.

Congratulations on your work.

Have an excelent day.

You are welcome. If you have any questions about the extension, feel free to ask them.
