Garland Drop Down Menu for Drupal 6 is here!

This theme uses pull-down menu. It does not require nicemenu module. It based on suckfish css. Just like Garland Theme, it works with IE5.5, IE6, IE7, Opera9, Firefox. You can change the theme color through the color module.

Following these three steps:
1. Download and install the theme

2. In /admin/build/block
Set "Primary links" Region to "Header"

3. /admin/build/menu-customize/primary-links
Enable the Menu item as "Expanded"

You can use color module to change the color.

Any new themes

I want to know the site from which the themes which can hold the top menu links for druapl 6.1 versions

IE7

Hi,

Great theme, thank you! The lack of a drop down in Garland was driving me crazy:-)

Two questions:

I am not using the right sidebar. In IE7 the page width is expanded to the right for what looks like the width of the sidebar. The centre area is not shrunk though resulting in the horizontal scroll bar appearing. Scrolling right therefore just shows an empty area. Is there some way of fixing this?

Secondly, the only design niggle I have is the slightly offset highlighting of a selected dropdown item. I think it looks untidy! Was this intentional? Can I change it?

Thanks again for a terrific mod,

Kim

The module created very

The module created very early, now you can find many themes in drupal.org that support drop down menu. I suggest you try them also.

Personally, I use nice menu. What you are seeing now in this site, is nice menu.

Header Image

I would like to place a header graphic in this theme. How can I accomplish this?

Dropdown explanation

Thanks for this theme. The dropdown menus are exactly what I was looking for. I have looked through the theme files, though, and I can't figure out what it was you changed to get the dropdown menus. Except for a tiny change in the page.tpl.php, there doesn't seem to be anything different. Could you explain what you did to make this work, or at least where I should be looking to see your overrides? I'm hoping to implement something similar in a different theme.

Thanks.

How can you change the rollover colors on the drop down menu?

I love this theme. I upgrade to Drupal 6.2 and just updated the theme. Somehow the rollover color on the drop down menu changed to a random color. Any ideas on how to control this?

I think the rollover colors

I think the rollover colors are changed by color module. You can modify the first part style.css, and try.

Removing title from block header?

You can remove the title from any "created" block by typing <none>.

Enjoy, and I like this theme feature a lot.
Just curious what happens when you reach the edge with your links. Would it drop down to a second, or 3rd, maybe even as in stacked on each other, how about being staggered like?

top level
__--__--__--__--__--__
bottomlevel

It would be nice to think that beings that parents can only have 9 children listed beneath them. Damn, thats a lot of pages, but if you were using Drupal to create a link farm of information then I guess you would need it.

OOOppppsss. Ok getting sleeping. DELETE DELETE DELETE ERASE....

P.S. How about centering the block title of created/core blocks?

How to disable the menu

How to disable the menu title? Just disable the block title.

Logo covers menu

Hi,

Just started with Drupal.. need some help.

How would I make the menu sit below the logo? I want the logo to be the length of the page with menu underneath that.

Thanks

Is it possible to have a different look on inside pages?

Hi,
I am a Drupal N00b and found this theme while looking for dropdown menus. I am also trying to find whether I can have two different layouts - one for the homepage and another for the inside pages, with different blocks.
Can you please direct me to any resources to help me do this?
Thanks a ton!

Noob's beware, advanced feature request here.

I am not entirely sure but I believe your wanting to fiddle around with the throttle or trigger modules. Drupal is a very tight nit community, and I suggest if you're planning on actually learning drupal that you create an account at drupal.org. You get extra search feature when logged in which makes it easier to search everything on the site.

You can however achieve this by requiring people register for your site, but if a person is brand new to a site they'll more than likely not want to register just to view information other that your homepage unless you're setting the site up as a member community site, or selling something.

Hope this helps. I could go on for days about Drupal, and I would consider myself to be only a moderately capable user. It is an amazing platform that has next to unlimited potential.

Enjoy your stay.

Why don't you visit

Why don't you visit drupal.org where you can get support from many others.

Problems with IE6

I totally love this theme (for Drupal 6), and want to use it on one of my sites, but it does not look that good in IE6. The Primary buttons are double the size of the tekst. Ex. if i make a menu entry "Linux" til actually takes double space, so when i use the fixed with, I get 2 raws of Primary menu entryes, not all in one raw. I simply cant find the problem (besides IE6 :)
The strange thing is, that thanhsiang.org does not seem to have this problem with IE6...

How can i fix that???

You can eidt fix-ie.css Just

You can eidt fix-ie.css
Just change this code and try what is the best fit.

#nav li {
width: 130px;
}

You can change the width as 100 or 80 px.

It is the problem of IE 6.

Thanks

Thank you so much.

Is this incompatible with Drupal 6.1?

I've just installed this on my new Drupal 6.1 instance. Looks great - except that links added to the Secondary Menu, which I've set to display in the Right sidebar are also showing up in the logo area above the Header block. Any idea why?

Oops!

Oh, I see. Pardon my ignorance. Apparently the Secondary links menu appears there by default in the Garland theme. I just deleted the Secondary links menu items and created a new menu and it worked perfectly. Thanks for a really wonderful mod of the Garland theme!

Browser Version

That's pretty sweet that it works with all browsers essentially.

Finding something that works in IE5.5 and Firefox is a pain!
