Submenu

Hello,

I have some issue seeing my submenu on my homepage. I created it and saved it, but can’t see it on my website.
Would someone have simple explanation to help me out? I am not technical.

Thank you,
Muriel

    Hi Again:-)

    You probably have to setup submenu opener icon.

    Go to Appearance -> Customizing -> Header settings -> Main Menu -> Submenu/mega menu opener icon and chose some icon by clicking on input.

    Then, after you will save changes, you will be able to open submenu with that icon by clicking on it.

    If you want to make whole link clickable to open submenu mark option Make this item normal text(will not be link) as explained here http://apollo13.eu/docs/apollo13_framework_theme/#menu_enhancements

    With kind regards.
  • Hello,

    I've followed your instructions, however I see no result in my menu:
    - For Submenu/mega menu opener icon, I chose caret-down
    - Submenu/mega menu closer icon, I chose caret-up

    Did I miss something?

    Thank you,
    Muriel

    I think option for enabling submenu openers got stuck

    Go to Appearance -> Customizing -> Header settings -> Main Menu -> Submenu/mega menu open icons and switch it off and on few times. Leave it at on and save again.

    This happens sometimes :-|
  • No problem, thanks for the tip, it works now. How can I customize the appearance of the box below my submenu? I just need to have my 4 links below each other, right below the menu. You can check fiver.com for an example.

    See this part about setting up mega menu http://apollo13.eu/docs/apollo13_framework_theme/#mega_menu

    You just have to set your mage menu 2 two columns.

    With kind regards.
  • Ok thank you, I managed to modify it. I also removed the icon to open the submenu, and removed the link in the menu. I am wondering now if the submenu could open if I hover over the menu? If I need to change the color of the submenu box, what should I do? Thank you.

    There is no option to do that. Cause this is pattern we decide to use for menu, to be future and touch devices friendly. So there is no option "hover to open".

    You can do it in Customizing ▸ Header settings▸ Main Menu▸ "Flyout submenu"/megamenu background color

    With kind regards.
  • Ok I see, thank you.
