I have used this feature successfully with drupal 6, primary menu / superfish but have not been able to get this working with a fresh install with drupal 7 using main menu / superfish.

I have Main Menu in the superfish block but no joy.

I looked for help in the Danland documentation which previously helped me set up superfish menus in drupal 6 but it has not yet been updated for drupal 7.

Not sure if this is a bug in the code or just a step missing from documentation that is resulting in my problem.

Hi,

Yes the documentation need updated. Be sure to set the parent menus to expanded under menu settings.

Hi!

I read the instructions in the readme.txt file for using Superfish menus. Those instructions read:

Superfish Drop Menu:
1) Build a standard drupal menu. Set the correct levels to "expanded" (the parent item).
2) Disable Main menu in the Danland theme settings.
3) Place the Main menu block in the Superfish menu region. Your menu will be automatically rendered as a Drop menu.
4) To modify the animation style and speed please see the following site for a full run down on configuring the Superfish plugin: http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/

It took me a while to realize there was something here that didn't quite make sense. Maybe this would help:

Superfish Drop Menu:
1) Build a standard drupal menu (for example "Menu_Example"). Set the correct levels to "Show as expanded" (the parent item).
2) Disable "Main menu" in the Danland theme settings.
3) Navigate to "Appearance" >> "Blocks" and disable "Main menu" (by selecting "- None -" in its Region drop-down)
4) Drag the new menu (for example "Menu_Example") into the Superfish menu region.
5) Click "Save blocks" to save these changes. Your menu will now be automatically rendered as a Drop menu.
6) To modify the animation style and speed please see the following site for a full run down on configuring the Superfish plugin: http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/

I mention this only because there seemed to be some ambiguity between the new menu created in step #1 and the Main menu that's already in the system. I did a lot of reversing until I figured that out. (I also kept forgetting to click "Save blocks". I'm very new to Drupal and CMS.)

Cheers,

Edward

structure- menu - Main menu - add link (add your items).
while creating content (pages/gallery etc) at the bottom , check the item "provide a menu link" type menu link title (visible on menu), pull down parent item combo, select Main Menu - it will appear on main menu, if u want create sub item like Video - Dance, select Video (Main item on menu), Go to Structure, menu, list links, check mark enable, if u uncheck enable, it wont appear in menu. drag and drop items wherever u want. u can see my menu in http://vision4life.in

The Superfish menu is not working for me. When I create a superfish menu, it gets pasted on top of the navy blue bar in the Danland theme (Drupal 7), and when I create a regular menu and drag it to the superfish region, I get a very awkward looking bunch of blocks on top of the bar. Nothing seems to be working and the instructions above don't seem to correspond to what I see in front of me. For example, if I create a new menu, it does not automatically go into my blocks page; I also need to create a menu block. Then, I only see one "expanded" setting which is: "expand all children of this tree". Does no one else have this problem? Do I need to disable the superfish module?

There is no change. Same setup working fine in my site http://vision4life.in Drupal 7.8
Disable (uncheck) Main menu in Danland theme settings (Appearance - Danland - Settings). Block Main Menu in Superfish. Are u using the updated Danland theme for Drupal 7 ?

Hi, I'm also using danland theme and wanted to use the superfish menu. I have configured everything as said and I didn't see anything.
When I select something at the top of my site I see that there is something hidden. That is the superfish menu. I will try to set others colors. Maybe this help also for eleonoreft?

Hi

Try to disable some menu items and check. I think there may be more than the limit to display. You can reduce the gap between menu items to display more items. I have added some code in local.css. You can see the code here http://vision4life.in/node/3243

I can resolve making this:

section.block h2 { padding-bottom:0px; font-size:0px; text-decoration:none; color:#226834; border-bottom:0px solid #f6f6f6; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:0px; overflow:hidden}/*All with 0px*/
section.block .content { padding-top:0px;}/*It is very important*/

the route is: Them/CSS/style/style.css
