    Hi there,
    I have been trying mega menu and some css snippets and read a lot of topics for hours now, but could not find an answer resp. don’t know which would suit my problem: I want to create 1 specific main menu point with 50 sub points. Before you ask: It is impossible resp. not useful to structure these for example down to 5 subs with 10 sub-subs each – then mega menu would be the choice, of course. So, I want to display these 50 in a large field in, let’s say 4 or 5 columns. Any suggestions?
    Kind regards, Jörg

    Hey brandgeist17,

    Well, if the mega menu is not an option you might want to look for the plugin that gives you more flexible options when building the menu.

    Could you please attach a mockup of what you’re trying to achieve?

    Best regards,
    Victoria

    Hi brandgeist17,

    It is the mega menu. If this is not an option for you, you need to check for a plugin that can help you build this kind of menu.

    Hi Victoria,
    I started this because mega menu of course is no option. So, I am not sure what you understood.
    Are you saying that there is no way to configure Enfold by css or whatever kind of code to achieve more than the default 1 column in the submenus?
    kind regards, joerg

    Hi,
    Sorry for the late reply, if I understand you would like to have columns in your sub-menu, but you don’t want to use the mega-menu.
    This css will create two columns in a sub-menu:

    #menu-item-3477 ul.sub-menu {
    width: 320px !important; 
    }
    #menu-item-3477 ul.sub-menu li {
    display: inline-block !important; 
    float: left !important; 
    width: 150px !important; 
    }
    #menu-item-3477 ul.sub-menu li:nth-child(odd) {
    float: left !important; 
    margin-right: 10px;
    width: 150px !important; 
    }
    #menu-item-3477 ul.sub-menu li:nth-child(even) {
    float: right !important; 
    width: 150px !important; 
    }

    you will notice the “menu-item-3477” which you can change, this is a test for your “Obstbrand” sub-menu, just add the css to your Quick CSS and clear your browser cache.
    Here’s the results:

    Another idea I had was to create a lightbox popup “moral” for the content of the page you linked to.

    Hi Mike,
    this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. But: I need this for the menu “Brennerei-Auswahl”. Which item number is this, where can I get the parameters?
    best regards, joerg

    #1085801

    Hi,
    Glad to hear, to use it for the “Brennerei-Auswahl” menu, please replace “#menu-item-3477” with “#menu-item-19330” in the css.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    somehow my second replies from April 2 disappeard. Anyway, I asked you if it is possible
    a) to have the the submenu block aligned left instead og rhight. I changed the code already, but it had no effect.
    b) the same in case of subsub menus.
    As the menu point concerned is the outer right, I need this alignment, please see screenshots enclosed in the private field.

    #1087685

    Hi,
    I took a look at your menu, but the text already seems to be aligned to the left in your sub-menu. To match the sub-menu font size with the main menu font size, please try this css:

    .sub-menu > li > a > .avia-menu-text {
    font-size: 16px !important;
    }

    Best regards,
    Mike

    #1087746

    Hi Mike,
    this is misunderstanding. It does not concern the text items, I need the whole block to be aligned to the opposite side – name it left or right – so that all menu columns are visible on normal and smaller screens. I enclose another screen shot to make it clearer.
    best regards.

    Hi,
    Ok, I think I understand now, you want the sub-menu items to fly out the opposite way that it is now, we can help but we are going to need to see the menu as in your first screenshot, when I look there is only one item in the menu.
    I’m not sure what you are hoping to achieve with this, I thought we addressed your columned sub-menu with the sub-menu column css that is back a few posts? The only drawback was that it will only create two columns and your mockup is 4 columns, which the only way I see to achieve 4 columns was with a mega menu, but I know you don’t want to use a mega menu.
    If you are having trouble getting the column css to work to create the 2 columns then I can assist with it, but I will need to see the menu with the many items as in your screenshot.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    #1087768

    Hi Mike,
    the screenshot is from the testsite, you won’t see it live. And you are right, the sub menu column css you gave me was principally fine. I only adjusted it to achieve 4 columns – success! – and a flyout the opposite way, as you said – failed! Then I had the idea to structure it a bit better by putting in 3 submenu points and making the rest sub-sub points. The corresponding screenshot was the first I gave you. The reason I cannot use default Megamenu is that these subs and/or sub-subs are very uneven, one of them still containing around 30 distilleries, another one only 2. Looks awful with megamenu and many points are not visable on medium and smaller screens.
    Maybe there is another solution, you mentioned lightbox. But I am not sure which consequence this would have to SEO?
    best reagrds, joerg

    #1087783

    Hi,
    Thanks for the feedback, this helps to make more sense. Is your testsite on your localhost? can you put it online so we can assist? It is very difficult to guess at the changes necessary from a screenshot. To make the menu fly out left we have to do a negative left position, here is an example on the menu I can see:

    .av-main-nav #menu-item-19330 > ul.sub-menu {
        left: -50px !important; 
    }

    Please see the screenshot in Private Content area.

    Best regards,

    Hi,
    please see the testsite backend with link below.
    My code to show all of the submenu items in 1 visible block with 4 columns is based on what you gave me first and goes like this:
    /* menu Brennerei Auswahl */
    #menu-item-19330 ul.sub-menu {
    width: 840px !important;
    }
    #menu-item-19330 ul.sub-menu li {
    display: inline-block !important;
    float: right !important;
    width: 200px !important;
    }
    #menu-item-19330 ul.sub-menu li:nth-child(odd) {
    float: right !important;
    margin-right: 10px;
    width: 200px !important;
    }
    #menu-item-19330 ul.sub-menu li:nth-child(even) {
    float: right !important;
    margin-right: 10px;
    width: 200px !important;
    }

    If each of the subsub menu item blocks would flow the opposite way, I would happy ;-)

    Hm, I never used Temporary Login without Password before and it seems to not working properly, please see the old method in private section..

    #1088503

    Hi,
    There we go, that worked :)
    Ok so you would like the sub-menu fly out to the left,
    Please try this css:

    .html_header_top #top .av_menu_left .main_menu .menu li ul ul {
        left: -670px !important; 
    }

    Please feel free to adjust to suit.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    #1088612

    Hi Mike,
    yes, we’re getting there. Flyout left is good, but now we lost the block space needed for all the content of sub menu “Deutschland”, ideal would be 3 columns. Whereas the items of the other 2 sub menus could remain 1 column, but – in any case – fitted aside the sub menu of course, not solo far out left.
    I tried different settings but none brought me where I got to go. I put the whole actual code for the menu and a screenshot below.
    Kind regards,
    Joerg

    Hi,
    Unfortunately I don’t have access to edit the css, I get this error message:
    “Sie sind leider nicht berechtigt, auf diese Seite zuzugreifen.”
    Please remove the css I posted earlier, but leave your column css, so I can test again.
    I’m surprised that this occurred, because when I was testing yesterday my css didn’t seem to break your columns.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi,
    someone changed your user rights. strange… I set it back, so feel free to test any code…
    kind regards, joerg

    #1089847

    Hi,
    Sorry, I’m having a hard time getting your css back to showing 3 columns, I assumed that just removing the css that I last recommended would have restored your 3 columns so I could try again, but it doesn’t.

    .html_header_top #top .av_menu_left .main_menu .menu li ul ul {
        left: -670px !important; 
    }

    Was some other css removed when this was added? Can you restore it back to your 3 columns?
    The original css I posted only creates 2 columns.

    Best regards,
    Mike
