How can I build a menu system like this?

Hi,

I am very new to MODx and have attempted to try and create a dynamic menu with an existing menu that I would like to use on my website. Could someone help me and try to figure out how I would go abouts converting this menu to a dynamic menu?

Here is the menu in question:

It’s a very simple menu with JS effects but I just cannot wrap my head around making it work with MODx.

Thanks.

Denis

Have a link to a working example of the menu?

IS the one on my site not working?

I got the menu from:

The one that I would like to recreate for MODx is:

Thanks for your help!

I see no dropdowns in Safari.

Supposedly these menus work in Safari:

They work fine in IE7 (they’re pretty slick, too).

denrou have you checked out Wayfinder? That’s all you need in order to create these menus in MODx. All you need to do is to break down your menu code into pieces that you can use as a Wayfinder template, and then MODx will create the links to the documents you want in there.

I agree with ZAP can’t see why you couldn’t do that with Wayfinder, not pure CSS since you want some js effect but with mootools or jQuery combined with CSS should be doable (I can’t think of something you can’t do with wayfinder... except maybe a Flash menu).

Why not? Can’t Flash read XML files? Have Wayfinder output XML, and your Flash menu generator reads that!

I said maybe because I figured there might be some way, thanks for explaining that to me though I’d much rather use CSS and possibility some js effects than Flash one never knows what clients might ask

Safari looks OK; behaves the same as FF, anyway.

Thanks, well then transmenu is an option you could go with for a dropdown menu. CSS styles and all. I like it.
