I think you need to look at the css files for both menu and slider. The slider probably has a higher z-index, which will render it as the top most element.

Think of it as layers with z-index 0 as the first layer and everything with a higher z-index is put on top of each other. So, basically, I think you need to change the z-index value in the css file for the menu to have a higher z-index value than the z-index in the slider. Makes sense?

I don't have access to either the slider or the menu, but that would be the first thing I would look for.

Hi there! Thanks so much for this - that's really helpful.... I'll have a look through the code and, if in doubt, I might write to the author. Thanks again for the speedy response! Kind regards!

Hi Guys,

I am struggling to get the Amiant to even work. do you guys have a tutorial on how to use it? I am not a web developer although I do understand and can write some html and simple php code (really simple). But, I cant seem to get this to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there!

Sorry, no tutorial from me unfortunately! I have a very novice approach to it all too I am afraid and just blundered through it and didn't note down what I did!

What I did find at the beginning however was that it didn't work at all on any version of C5 less than 5.5.0 (the latest?)... I simply got an error message on lower versions. Maybe try updating and see if that works?

I did however get a reply from the author re the 'hidden' drop down issue I encountered which worked a treat.... the instructions he gave me were as follows:

Hi!

Yes, this is z-index problem.

I am so busy today to fix it right now.

You need to change /packages/amiant_css3_menu/blocks/amiant_css3_menu/view.css

You need to add line after line 117:


change to

Keep me informed how you get on!? Cheers, Clive

I downloaded the amiant css3 menu. How do i use it in my site ?

A million apologies - have only just signed into my account after some weeks and only just seen this message....

I'm not a technical person I am afraid so I simply installed the block and used it 'as is' to start with.... I then then tried changing a few things in the CSS files to alter the colour etc... all pretty much trial and error but it seemed to work ok.... I am still working on a draft of the site but will happily send you a link when it;s up and hopefully some notes on what I did (if this would help?)

Kind regards

Clive

I am having a similar issue, I have tried the z-index fix but nothing works. My nav menus get cut off where the header and the body meet. If I increase the size of the header all is well but when I add another level to the menu I encounter the same problem. Any ideas why the header and view.php files might cause this issue? I am including an image to show what I am talking about. The black line is included in the header.

@soaroutdoor
On your amiant view.css file on line 1 you have your z-index set at 10, try changing it to 100,
This is the location of your view.css file
/packages/amiant_css3_menu/blocks/amiant_css3_menu/view.css

Also
Your main.css file on line 11 is declaring overflow hidden, this is why you don't see the overflowing dropdowns

Thanks Weyboat, I knew there was something I was missing I got stuck looking at one aspect and not looking for what else may have been causing the problem.

I changed the value to visible and everything works great.
