Hello,

I originally sent this through the contact form straight to the author (sorry about this, I am new to Drupal site and did not see that I could create a new issue)

I am using Pixture Reloaded with a custom color scheme (plus a few cosmetic modifications) for a web site I am building.
I have a question concerning the appearance of the superfish menu.
Although in the demo site I see that the menu starts from the left of the page, in my case it starts from the right, so when using a liquid layout, everything is messed up, since my menu is quite long.
I need to set a fixed width of about 1200px to make it show correctly.
As I need to be able to at least display the site in 1024x768, I would like to be able to fit the page in 960px.
What I did was to declare in custom style.css that #superfish-inner be position: absolute !important and the menu came to the left!
This causes overlays in the submenus though, i.e. when I hover over the starting menu item that has children the child menu displays over the arrow. I cannot seem to be able to fix this. (it is true that I am a newbie in most things CSS).
Please help.

Regards,

Nick Tzanos

It probably starts from the right because you are using a large logo that pushes it over, there are several solutions in this issue queue for changing the header design so the menu clears the logo, its pretty simple, just add height: 88px; to the logo in the CSS.

dont use position:absolute on the menu, or any other positioning trickery unless you really fully understand how it works, its pretty tricky stuff going on in PR header/mens design.

Thanks for the answer. I had to correct a few more things and now everything seems to be working ok. The only thing that nags me, is that I have to remember to have an updated copy of my custom styles.css because whenever I change something in the theme settings the directory in default/files/color gets reset

Regards,

Nick

Hi Corelon,

I am trying to use superfish with pixture reloaded too as my site navigation menu. But I have a problem, which is superfish works fine when I am in admin mode, i.e when logged in as administration. The navigation menu works well then, once I log out I can see only primary links working for the normal site visitor.

I wonder what might be the problem?

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Corelon,

I just had my menu working after reading the advice that recommended to make a fresh install of the superfish theme. I had to do a fresh install of the theme and follow the steps in the readme.

Thank you.

Nick,

F.Y.I. Make changes to the styles.css file in your pixture_reloaded theme directory instead of the styles.css file in the files/pixture_reloaded directory. When you save the template it will use the style.css file in your theme directory to create the style.css file in your files/pixture_reloaded directory. Hope this helps.
