l'd been searching and searching for a simple way to design and update my menus that need to communicate with virtuemart. This is the only extension l've found capable of doing it oh so easily without any need for hard coding. five stars just for thinking of this option. |

A professional website with a demo of the Pro version tempted me to download the free version and I was amazed.
This tool is a fantastic addition to a developers arsenal to get a drop-down menu system working very quickly. Excellent customisation options. I did not even download the documentation.
I already use Extended Menu which works fine but using this tool is so much easier.
Don't forget to download the SwMenuMaker tool as well which takes the pain out of moving menu items around.
Well done! |

I tried another menu system but no luck due to poor documentation.
SWmenuFree comes with comprehensive 23 page user manual and after 2 hours I got it working.
Looks great and feels good. |

I always try components and modules offline in XP, prior to putting them on a linux site. This function was easy to use offline and it installed online just as well. It is great to put on simple colours or complex photo graphics into the menu. I cut some pieces from a photo, saved them as a png file and simply uploaded and added these to the menu. I was using an extended menu and replaced it with this one with ease. If anything there are too many options but the program is reasonably intuitive. Menus can easily be placed across the page, down the page, left submenus, right submenus in all kinds of colors and formats and even the submenus transparency can be adjusted. Borders can be added, removed or chosen as different colours. I didn't need the manual, just hacked it around offline and when happy used the same parameters online. Altogether a fine piece of software. It was a bit scary when the program came up with some horrid looking message and I thought everything would crash but this disappeared almost immediately and it has worked fine. No issues, but I keep expecting them because it has worked that well and there are so many options that I haven't tried them all yet.
Good Job |
| Fantastic menu tool by Steve Z, April 26, 2007 |

I have been trying many of the GNU GPL menu modules and components over the past several hours and SWmenuFree was the winner for me. I was able to create a dropdown trans menu that exactly matched my website in a matter of 10 minutes. Thanks for an excellent menu tool! |
| Excellent component and support by thoeri, April 23, 2007 |

I have used SwMenu for a while now and I must say it is the best menu system out there. I have tried a lot of them. This component makes it possibe to create exactly the menu you want and most of the menu systems inluded in this component makes the links searchable for the search engines - which is very important to me.
As important as a good product is good support. And the developer is always very helpful and quick. After switching template I got problems with my menus. This was not a problem of this component but a template problem. Never the less the developer rewrote my template to it work. What about that service? I am used to developers of templates and components putting the resposibility on the other part. |

Excellent component.
Simple to use - you'll be up and running in 15 minutes.
Supports background images.
Great control console.
Great CSS support.
Excellent support forums.
This is by FAR the best free menu extension I have used. In fact, it is one of the best of any kind of extension I have used for Joomla! |
| Tried the others, this was easiest by Venture, April 11, 2007 |

Awesome menu system for someone like me who is just above being css illiterate, but does want some customization! I tried a few of the other menu systems, and settled on this one. I got things working last night much easier than I could have imagined, and am ecstatic over the results. I wanted to be able to use the menu buttons that I'm already using in the Solarflare II template. This menu system made this super easy
This did require a tiny bit of knowledge of an image editing program (Paint Shop Pro in my case), but only because of how Solar Flare template has the button images done. The button image and mouseover images in Solar Flare II are a single png image file (top half has one button, the bottom half of the image has the mouseover button). I just needed to cut each half of the image file and paste each as its own image, and then upload those two files to my server.
The component then creates a module for you, and you go in and fill in the parameters. All I had to do was, in the proper box in the form, point to the new image files I uploaded. I had to do some tweaks like change the font size, etc., but all this is done in the component without requiring any knowledge of css.
Great menu system, and exactly what I was looking for. |

This is my first review. But now I had to write one.
I am teaching students at a university how to use Joomla and after looking at several free menusystems I tried this one and it worked immediately. Impressively simple to set up if you already know your way around Joomla.
Congratulations on a well done system. My students will be happy with this one. I wish all extentions for Joomla was as well done as this one. |
| IE 7 support by gare, March 14, 2007 |

This is a great module. Easy to configure and very powerful.
There does seem to be a layout glitch in the way sub-menus are displayed in IE 7 browsers, but looks to be addressed in future versions as discussed here:

| Great Menu But... by Holy Cow, February 17, 2007 |

I really like this menu, but it just wont work in Safari, not that that'll bother too many people!
d Owner's reply: swMenuFree is compatable with Safari. Sometimes some extra template CSS needs editing for Safari. Solutions can be found by looking and posting in the forums at http://www.swonline.biz |
| Not Joomla 1.5 Compatible by tmoens, January 31, 2007 |
|
No slight intended, but contrary to the indications on the extension page, niether the free nor the pro versions are 1.5 compatible just yet, The author has promised a compatible version "when there is a stable release of Joomla 1.5".
