Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

Overview:

Views Expanded provides Views style plugin that can mimic Mega menu functionality in Drupal.
There are already some implementations of Mega menu but they are mostly based on menus or blocks which lack flexibility provided by Drupal.

So what's special about this module?
Views Expanded allows you to display any entity as expanded content. Along with Display Suite and Views attach modules this can allow you to put in there almost everything. Think of images, subcategories or argument driven Views! Yay.

How to use:

- install Views, Ctools and Entity modules
- create Expanded content type, add fields
- you can create advanced layout using Display Suite
- add some content
- create View from your content type, add Block display and set format as "Expanded", select entity view mode you want
- in your View you should display only Content title field (although if you figure out other usecase let me know in issue queue :D )
- go to blocks configuration page and place newly created block in desired region

Status of this module:

- provides only one skin for demonstration purposes
- module has only CSS menu functionality, I will try to add some JS features like easing etc. in the future
- this is my first official module, expect your site to explode :)
