CustoMenu! ...major menu control for Joomla!
CustoMenu! is an extremely powerful menu module. It gives you full control over the display of your menu. You my use one of your menu's or be completely independent of the Joomla! menu structure by selecting items from different menu's. Then you get a bunch of Advanced Parameters to your disposal.

Advanced Parameters include:
▪ Make menu links open in Modal Windows, you know, the cool popups.
▪ Override item names and/or links.
▪ Active state when child item is opened.
▪ Active state when any other defined set of menu items is opened.

===========
FULLY STYLABLE
===========
The HTML output CustoMenu! generates is pretty straightforward. It makes use of nested classes, which means you have full control over the display properties through the use of CSS. You can use the CSS file that comes with the package, and change that to your likings.

=====
1-LEVEL
=====
This menu is a 1-level menu. So if you are looking for a menu with pull downs or trees, look further. But for many sites a 1-level (main) menu is just what is desired.

======
Extra CSS
======
This feature gives you the ability to include extra CSS files related to the active menu item. This means that you can have different backgrounds, color schemes or whatever per menu item. For instance, if the third menu item is active, the css file 'template_3.css' will be included. These CSS files have to be located in the 'css' folder of your template folder. Keep in mind that the number (in this case 3) is not the item id, but the count in the CustoMenu!

Very Slick! by Haelix, April 9, 2008
After installing this module to test, I quickly fell in love with how easy it was to get it to do exactly what I wanted. The files are well commented and the .css file already had the exact syntax needed to override the default background, active, hover, etc.. settings. Too easy! The developer was quick to get back to me on several questions helping me out with CustoMenu, as well as an unrelated question. I'll certainly be using this module on future web projects.

Thanks Haelix,

If you have any suggestions to make CustoMenu! even better, let me know :)

Absolute timesaver by papak69, April 8, 2008
Great module ...

Does exactly what it says and is a true timesaver ... easy to install and easy to handle the CSS file ...

I only have troubles setting the active menu on child ID's on Joomla 1.0.x with the 2.0.3 version ... hope I will get it ...

Otherwise ... many thanks to the author.


Owner's reply:
Thanks papak69,



The J! 1.0.x version has not been updated for some time. And I'm sorry to say that I don't have the time to work on that version. But you are free to hack it to get it to work how you want.



The 'active on child ID's' option does work in the J! 1.5.x version. That version will be kept updated.

Great Module by jfq, March 24, 2008

Truly excellent extension. It really saved my day for a specific project, after trying several other menu extensions.
It enables you to make a rollover effect with three images (normal, hover and active), all in pure CSS (no Flash, no Javascript), which was I was looking for.


Owner's reply:
Good to hear you like CustoMenu!

Now it also has MoodalBox support. I'd like to see the website you implemented it on (also from other people out there using CustoMenu!)

Had a few code related errors by akadee, March 5, 2008

Had error messages because of undeclared variables in the code. Broke my site running mootabs, but apart from that it's a great start, and yeah, go the free mods!


Owner's reply:
Can you please contact me in case of problems... then we can fix it!
