Setting columns in mega menu

[Keith]

Hi

I set up a mega menu ok with 3 cols by indenting the menu items into 3 as per docs ok
However then I saw that you could just add the ‘sf-mega-menu-3col’ css class to the CSS Classes box. However if I try to set a 4 col like this it does not work. Also if all sub items are just under one parent then I lose the mega menu.
So what is the point of this class? How is it supposed to work ? or is it for something else?
Does this mean you HAVE to setup the menu items into the number of cols you want initally?

Thanks

Hi, can you please post up your website URL having sf-mega-menu-4col activated so we can check it out?

hi

The CSS classes work, maybe it’s your structure of your menu. Let me try and explain:

Top level menu item = Menu item in the navigation bar
Second Level = Column Headings
Third level = menu items in each column

Have you made sure you have the option ‘disable mega menu functionality’ turned off in theme options?

Hi

Ah I see so that would then enable the css classes?

I will give it a go

You need to make sure it is turned off, meaning you’re not disabling the mega menu

Hi Kyle

With that option turned off then as expected I no longer have ANY mega menu and the top menu gives me 3 sub-items (as per the structure) which then give the rest of the sub-items.

This is understandable but NOT what I was after

I wanted to use just the class WITHOUT having to structure the menu – otherwise what is the point of the class as it wont convert the structure of say 3 colsd to 4 or 5 with just a simple class chnage?

The CSS is only for the style of the menu (width of columns etc), it’s not going to restructure your menu for you, you would have to do that yourself

Not sure why it would be ignored? The different column classes sets the width of the mega menu columns. I would need to see your link to see why it is not changing anything.

To confirm, are you trying to get a certain number of columns but are not able to?

Hi

I want 3 cols – I have 3 cols through structure ALONE

Adding the sf-mega-menu-5col css does nothing different…

My question is why not?

See the difference in my screenshots, I have 5 columns set up in my structure, when I use sf-mega-menu-3col you will see that it displays 3 col and the remaining 2 col drop below. When I use sf-mega-menu-5col it shows correctly

Hi
Ok I think I get it now – depends on which class and which number of columns to see certain effects

Thanks for help I should be ok now
