Superfish - getting a little deeper

Permalink
Hi All,

I have experience o fusing superfish on joomla sites and installing it myself so I do know the CSS and setup etc to customise.

I have installed the superfish addon which is great although a little limiting as one cannot style the first and second children differently etc.

I have edited the view.php file now to remove the blanket background colour css call and the other specified codes so I can override with css. However I woudl love to be able to develop a menu system that looks as good as this:http://www.saelstrom.com/

They are using cufon and from the looks of it have installed superfish directly as opposed to using the plugin.

Can someone tell me how I would go about installing superfish like this so that I then had total control without the various css classes being grouped together like in the addon.

Re any requests - the addon is a great start but I think it could be developed to include lots more of the superfish features - if I knew how I would!

Thanks

toby

you can strip the options out of the view in your custom view template and then use classes for everything. You probably want to add supersubs to the superfish call too (in bottom of the view).
AS far as getting icons like the menu you show for an example;
What I've done in the past is create a page attribute (page_icon) and then customize the view to grab the icon and display it in the menu.. it's pretty easy..

Optionifying everything in superfish as far as the possiblities are almost endless, I find that I'd rather style it using my global theme css.. But thats just me :)

nice site!, for me i also found the addon too limiting so i made a custom template for the autonav and it works great!
