Hi all :)

Can someone please give me a tip/guideance on how to replace the oxwall menu?

I have a css generated dd menu that I wish to use. How do I go about making my own css menu appear on our site and the oxwall menu not.

Cheers,

Matt

You can have a dev write a plugin for you (which is preferred)  or you can drastically mod the core code for which you will need to remember to reinstate the mod cde come update time every time.   Is is that important to do?..  It is only eye candy..

You can achieve this by two ways:

1. As Dave said, create a new plugin that will replace the default menu with yours. You can see the way the default menu is designed in the following files:

/ow_system_plugins/base/bol/navigation_service.php
/ow_system_plugins/base/bol/menu_item.php
/ow_system_plugins/base/bol/menu_item_dao.php
/ow_system_plugins/base/components/menu.php
/ow_system_plugins/base/components/main_menu.php
/ow_system_plugins/base/views/components/menu.html

2. Make changes using CSS. I suggest that you search for the solutions in the Themes forum: http://www.oxwall.org/forum/8
