Megamenu in C5 anyone?

Permalink
Coming from the Joomla side, in the last 6 months or so I have been able to easily integrate Megamenu in many of my projects. My clients love Megamenu so it's something I'd like to offer in C5 if and when I'll add it as an option in my portfolio.

Searches for megamenu in this forum and for Concrete5 + Megamenu in general have returned nothing.

Has anyone been playing with this? Looks like no one has or at least no one reported any luck.

I am still too new to C5 to go and concentrate on something like that, ut I surely will. Just wondering if anyone is working on it and how easy it would be to integrate. What little I understand of C5 makes me thing there may be some difficulties but I am not qualified at the moment to even guess.

Thank you.

True, there are many of them available, but they all work the same conceptually. You basically add content other than menu links in the drop down part of a menu.

Those can be: one or more separate menus
Articles
Modules
and generally any type of content that may fit in a limited space.

Since I am not yet familiar enough with C5 assignment of these elements in a template, I was wondering how easily one could integrate a megamenu in a C5 template.

I did start to build such a package but I never finished it because the client didn't like it at the end...

I bascially used a bunch of content blocks within a single block where you can add the dropdown content. Tables were necessary as soon as the content was supposed to have more than one column. Not very nice but it should work.

Thanks for the replay. Do you have any of that code left you may want to share?
I'd like to give it a crack but I don't see why tables would be necessary. Or at least I don't see why a table would need to be used instead of an absolutely positioned div.

Again, at the moment I know next to nothing about C5 so I could be wrong, but if it's just a CSS issue it should be possible to overcome.

Most of the block is the CSS and positioning the rest of it is mainly the superfish menu with a few added things

I just found this site (http://www.ihwy.com/Labs/jquery-listmenu-plugin.aspx) for creating a megamenu from jQuery using list items <li>. Looks promising.

Looks like it might be pretty simple. May require some manual coding at first -- looks like the jQuery code uses the id of your <ul>.
