Hello,

Perhaps I am just using the wrong search terms, but I am having a lot of trouble locating a useful tutorial (for my particular situation) with the ARI Ext Menu.

I am using the JoomlaPraise template "AudioPraise". The built-in menu system is the worst I have seen of any template, so I decided to give the "ARI Ext Menu" a try. The module itself is pretty awesome, but I can't seem to locate the entries suggested by the various tutorials I have found on this site. I am hoping you can help. I am assuming this is because of JoomlaPraise' non-standard template deployment, but I thought I'd ask the big-dogs to be certain.

The temp-site I am working on is: 72.249.106.231/~blackwed

I have found several tutorials that start with: "open the site template index.php and...."

The JoomlaPraise templates apparently put suggested entries within other files, so following along here isn't doing me much good. Again, I think this is a template issue, nothing to do with the module.

Unless I am misunderstanding what you folks mean when referring to "site template index.php" suggestions such as the one found here: www.ari-soft.com/ARI-Ext-Menu/8387-Beginner-question.html

"Open site template index.php file, find the following code:

Code:

<div id="pillmenu">


and replace it with:

Code:

<div id="pillmenu1">

I have looked within the module files themselves and can't come up with anything. Can someone point me in the right direction, or at least verify what I am doing wrong?

We're using Joomla 1.5.21, with the JoomlaPraise "AudioPraise" template with Legacy mode activated.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

We mean index.php file of site template, not file from the module in posts which you found. In your case, this file is located by the following path:

<joomla_directory>/templates/jp_audiopraise_1.5/index.php

Hello,

What I was saying was this: I have access to that file, I just can't find any of the entries suggested to modify or replace.

Also, I can't seem to make any modifications to this beyond module parameter menus in the administrator section. Example: I was able to set auto-width from 'yes' to 'no', but styling from there isn't working.

I have admin permissions on this server, and I am clearing both browser-cache, and the joomla cache. Example: I have tried moving the "arrow" image around on the menu, but it stays in the same place.

I am just at a loss as to what's happening. I am sure this isn't a malfunction of the module, but I'll be damned if I can't nail down the problem.

Thanks in advance!

In your case you can replace the following code in index.php file:



with the next code:

I'd like to thank you for your help. That certainly did the trick.

Would it be bad taste to post a few more questions in this thread, or should I start new ones?

You guys are crazy helpful.

You are welcome. You can post new questions in this thread.
