[solved] doin a menu with Dropmenu without list?

hi guys,

first of all, I’m new to modx, needing it for the purpose of renewing the page of our faculty.

what I want to recieve is following:
--
Home

Caption1
link1
link2

Caption2
link3
link4
--

before, it was done with css, using 5 tags: menuGray:link; menuGray:visited; menuGray:hover; menuGray:active; and, for the title linkfat
I would love to have the possibility of a secondary menu when you click on a link

I know i’d be easy to modify the css to have the colors fit, but when I use a <ul><li> it is always moved to the right a bit with every sublevel you go (sorry for my poor english)

so my question - is it possible to combine both, so that its like
--
Caption2
link3
sublink
sublink
link4
--

having always a blank linke between the folders (Captions)
and, of course, how would you do that - I am not that experienced in programming php

thanks a lot guys, and good night (it’s just before midnight over here)

Steffen

Try to adjust mangin in your ul and li style, with dropmenu you can create averything you need.
You can find a lot of thead about how to style dropmenu and there’s a lot of template in template section http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/board,4.0.html, to understand how works

sorry for my poor english:D and welcome

ok I got it by now... but its still a struggle

first of all the source:


ok, the thing with the margin is manageable, but I still don’t know how to to empty line after each folder; and also make the folder non-clickable (just captions), and last-but-not-least what tag to use to format those folders

i did understand that
li is the first level (base level)
so ul li would be the second level, following ul ul li etc?

thanks for your fast response,

and also make the folder non-clickable (just captions)

In this case I would create several menus, like

caption1
[!dropmenu?StartID=1..!]

caption2
[!dropmenu?StartID=2..!]

usw.

where StartIDs are the IDs of your folders. So you can style the captions like you want.

Or you can use the "category folders option of DropMenu:

// $useCategoryFolders [ true | false ]
// If you want folders without any content to render without a link to be used
// as "category" pages (defaults to true). In order to use Category Folders,
// the template must be set to (blank) or it won’t work properly.
$useCategoryFolders = (!isset($useCategoryFolders)) ? true : "$useCategoryFolders";

// $categoryClass [ string ]
// CSS Class for folders with no content (e.g., category folders)
$categoryClass = (!isset($categoryClass)) ? ’category’ : "$categoryClass";

that is great, thank you
