I'm working with some graphic designers who are still coming up to speed on Drupal. We're trying to create a horizontal menu with data from a taxonomy. It's three deep. Ideally the first level would be horizontal, the second and third would be vertical, ie, the menu options drop down, and then if there is a third level it comes out and drops down again.
After looking at a number of options (eg. jsdoMenu, rewriting our xTemplate them in phpTemplate, hardcoding menu, etc) we decided we would try to get Nick Lewis' phpTemplate menu (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/hvmenu/index.htm) working in xTemplate. Not sure this is feasible... Anyway, we've got the css stuff working but want to find a hack that would allow us to run a php snippet in the appropriate place in the template.
Under the existing <tr> for the logo and primary and secondary menus we were thinking of doing something like: <tr><td colspan="2" class="topmenu">test<?php
$TheMenu = theme_menu_tree(17);
print $TheMenu;
?> </td></tr>
Can we create a {mymenu} that would run this code snippet?
Or is there a different way we can do this using xTemplate?
Advice welcome. (Yeah, we should have figured out menuing before doing theme in xTemplate, but we're newbies...)
