Has anyone had success with any of the drop down menu modules in Drupal 7 yet? Nice menus has a beta version and unless I hear otherwise that will be my first try. * Ryan LeTulle,* Web Developer personal: bayousoft.com <http://www.bayousoft.com> twitter: @bayousoft <http://twitter.com/bayousoft> <http://twitter.com/bayousoft> <http://twitter.com/bayousoft>*"Be the change you want to see in the world." * Mahatma Gandhi

I almost always check the "expand" checkbox in menu administration and build my own JavaScript for dropdown menus (usually takes something like ~50 lines of JS, with comments). Even using D6, solutions like nice menus does not always fit with the real needs, needed layout, theming capabilities etc, for a good web integrator/themer used to JS/jQuery this is really easy and quick to do. Pierre.
Thx, Pierre. I initially saw a method similar to what you describe in the Aperture theme. I was amazed at how little code was required. I tried to use that code in another theme for about 30 minutes one day and had an issue but I may end up going back there again. * Ryan LeTulle,* Web Developer personal: bayousoft.com <http://www.bayousoft.com> twitter: @bayousoft <http://twitter.com/bayousoft> <http://twitter.com/bayousoft> <http://twitter.com/bayousoft>*"Be the change you want to see in the world." * Mahatma Gandhi On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 9:51 AM, Pierre Rineau < pierre.rineau@makina-corpus.com> wrote:

My advice, as always, is to reuse code. Nice menus is excellent and works as advertised. Also, if you are making a theme based on the excellent fusion core, you have superfish drop downs for free.

Thx, Victor. I am seeing Fusion core all over the place so that might be happening soon as well. I just love the simplicity of Basic. :) Nice menus will be my first try. It has worked well for me in D6 but this will be my first try in 7. I did notice that D7 menu blocks don't show where they are supposed to at least in the D7 distro I am working with. It creates a block but the block does not show in the region I put it in so either I am missing something obvious or this does not work yet. The primary and secondary menus do show but that is it. I plan on using menu block which has a D7 release to overcome this issue. * * *Ryan LeTulle,* Web Developer personal: bayousoft.com <http://www.bayousoft.com> twitter: @bayousoft <http://twitter.com/bayousoft> <http://twitter.com/bayousoft> <http://twitter.com/bayousoft>*"Be the change you want to see in the world." * Mahatma Gandhi On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 10:09 AM, Victor Kane <victorkane@gmail.com> wrote:

A module that once good does not exempt you from using your brain. Nice Menus was originally design to use CSS tricks only, and was *REALLY* good. But now, it uses SuperFish jQuery JS script, and is not *that* good. Code reuse is good when you have to reuse 1,000 lines of code, core reuse is *NOT* good when it's about only 50 lines of code.
