Drop Down menu question
Permalink
Hi,
I suspect this is just going to be a quick answer.
I'm building a website using C5. All is going well and C5 is great to use.
The website I'm building has a horizontal menu with dropdowns that I've integrated superfish for.
However, the person I'm building the website for wants subpages to dropdown from the homepage item in the menu.
i.e when 'Home' (and this is the default website homepage) is hovered over they would like to see pages under this.
I can do it with any other top-level menu-item but as all the pages fall under home in the sitemap there does not appear to be a way to do this.
Is that correct or have I missed some ovbious way to do this?

Start off by creating a custom drop down menu template. There is a few floating around c5 forums.
hmmm - thanks for the reply. Does that mean then that there is no way of accomplishing this without hardcoding some values somewhere? I was hoping not to have to do that as the menu will need maintaining if the site owner removes any of the pages and breaks it....
umm, the pages under home are the top level pages, so there shouldn't be something under Home,
I guess I have not explained myself very well...
The menu all works - I have my top level nav. Drop downs all work - I have nested pages under some sections. All is nested nicely.
What I've been asked to do is nest menu items under Home in the dropdown:
but I have not figured out how to achieve this.

ok - so the only way I could figure out how to achieve what my client wants without resorting to hacking about was to:
Remove visibility from home in the navigation.
Create a top-level page called home and then nest my my pages under that.
With the fancy urls on that means my new 'homepage' is at
http://www.mysite.com/home1/
So - I put in a redirect from /home1/ to / and that gives the desired effect.
I've proably completely missed a much better way of doing this and I don't necssarily like using the redirect though so might just tell client he'll have to have subpages off another menu item...
