I am attempting to setup my main menu items with the sliding door background technique (visual tabs).

In Joomla 1.5 there was by default a span tag around the links enabling the use of two background images. One on the <span> and one on the <a>.

In Joomla 1.6 the span tag is no longer added. I have attempted to do a template override by editing both the default_component.php file and the default_url.php to add the span tag for the template. I am unable to get the <span> back.
How would you suggest formatting css to create the sliding door background technique with the ARI Ext Menu?
I will attach both the modified php files.

Thanks,

Hello,

The module uses the next template file:

<joomla_directory>\modules\mod_ariextmenu\mod_ariextmenu\templates\menu.html.php

You can modify it for your needs and add <SPAN> tag for menu items.

Great.
Unfortunately I am just enough of a noob that I have no idea where to make the span addition to the top level menu items.

Find modified template file in attach.
