This module uses the popular JSCookMenu system (by Heng Yuan) to provide dynamic menus for Joomla. It is loosely based on Stingrey's original dmj module, torn apart and re-built. It supports vertical and horizontal menus; it has backend module configuration for 'off' and 'hover' images, menu theme, menu option images, orientation, option order, and status bar text (when supported); it can produce hidden HTML unordered lists of your menu options (if you are concerned about spiders missing javascript links); it handles the Separator/Placeholder-type menu option 'properly' (my opinion!) such that sub-menus can be attached to non-clickable placeholders to group menu options, rather than having to have a clickable link leading to any sub-menu. Its based on the latest version of JSCookMenu - v1.4.4 - and includes the script, and the 5 example themes that come with it.
v1.3 has been updated to handle shownoauth correctly, and handle some content types slightly differently; the 2 changed files (mod_jsCookMenu.php and JSCookMenu.class.php) can simply be overwritten.
v1.2 has been updated to fix a bug when handling non-relative link-url type menu options. Changed file is JSCookMenu.class.php, and can be updated simply by overwriting modules/jsCookMenu/JSCookMenu.class.php (v1.1) with the new version.

| easy install, very compatible, overall great mod by tracy, April 6, 2008 |

I have been working with joomla for a while now and have built atleast 10 sites. I don't claim to be a pro, although I'm no stranger to the inner workings of joomla.
One thing I've had mixed results with have been menu systems, more particularly finding one that is cross-compatible between explorer, firefox, and opera. I have found that compatibility is not soley dependent on the menu system itself, but the template you are using as well. So I do not wish to condemn other great menu systems like lxmenu. That being said, JSCookMenu has been the only system in which I have had full compatibility across various platforms. It was easy to install, and worked right out of the box, which I can't say for many of the menu mod's I have installed.
I have noticed a few reviews stating that there are not enough themes or visual customizability, although if you know even a little CSS the menu's are quite flexible.
Overall I think I have installed more than 8 different menu modules, and this one passed with flying stars. My complements to the developers, and many thanks for a wonderful module. |
| ok for one copy of module by royce, January 21, 2008 |
|
It seems to work pretty good for one copy of the menu. I have multiple menus on my site and it breaks down pretty quickly. The sub-menus for the second and subsequent menus are mis-aligned and appear behind other content. Also, the images for the menus don't appear.
Probably OK if you have one menu on your page... the search continues.... |
| Best Menu Extension I've Seen!! by CET, January 18, 2008 |
|
I've tried a vast array of menu extensions in the last week, and they were all duds for one reason or another. Either they looked terrible, conflicted with pre-existing variables, could only show 2 folder levels, were static, or were just plain buggy.
This extension was easy to install, and I had it up and running on my site, and doing exactly what I wanted in only 2 minutes! |
| Well... by ScubaSapiens, January 3, 2008 |
|
the component seems to work grat, apart for a few minor details:
1) It's hard to change the style, and it does not come with a "no-style" option to cature or mimic the style of your site. That makes it look completely out of place, and quite frankly like something an amateur made.
2) The pop-up menus in java appears behind the content, which makes it completely useless.

| i say thanks too ... by joomluser1, October 22, 2007 |

thanks a lot for dear developers of this mod.
but i dont find any help on my problems like (unwanted distance between topmenu and submenu when use at right position of site and its problem in ff ...)
i suggest you creat a section in site wizzud.com for help others.. |
| Good, but... by pirateninja, July 23, 2007 |

It's good, but it could use a little work. Adding new themes is a bit of a pain - it involves making new JavaScript and CSS files. Arg. I would love it if the default option set the menus to my site's default colors. Other than that, I have no complaints. It works, it generates drop-down menus, and it works better than some other things I've tried. If the included themes match your site then you're good to go. |
| Good - but has causes some overlay problems by tsvgoegg, July 5, 2007 |
|
I am using this menu system on my side generally spoken it is great. But if you use next to your pop-up menus (horizontal) a flash or a video in your content then the menu disappears behind it. It seems to be layering problem and of course I do not like to modify the layering of my content. For a short term solution I will try to solve it with a high z-Index. I am curious which csv field I have to modify or add in the module code?
If I a got right the new coding of the orignal jsCookMenu Script 1.5 does solve this problem!? Are you planning to do an update on your module? |
| Good menu ! by TAurus, June 25, 2007 |
|
After trying many menus, I think this is the best. I rated good and not excellent because:
1. Is hard to modify css files if you are a noob, or if you try to make substantial modifications
2. Lack of support and documentation |
| Works but hard to set CSS by filipetorres, June 20, 2007 |
|
This module works fine, but its hard to set CSS file.
1) The CSS files are not documented. The user had to guess what styles to change.
2) In HTML code generated haven't active menu item. |
| Don't look further ... this is what you are looking for ! by ccattani, June 15, 2007 |
|
Easy to install, minimal configuration needed, works right away and the best of all ... NO BUGS ! I've tried several other menu modules but they still had bugs or they were just to complicated ! Couldn't make any of them to work properly in my site, but JSCookMenu does the job fast and easy ! |
| submenus not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional? by ethnicomm, May 30, 2007 |
|
I found this to be a great mod - especially the unlimited submenus. However, when I tried to validate my pages, I found that the pages under the submenus were not considered valid xhtml.
That and the fact that there does not seem to be a support forum leads me to rate this mod as good instead of excellent.
Example of error message explanation:
Error Line 74 column 198: ID "active_menu" already defined.
...-strategy.html" class="sublevel" id="active_menu">Sales Strategy
An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element). Owner's reply: The JSCookMenu module does not use a class of sublevel, neither (as has been pointed out in other comments) does it currently use the active_menu id. I would respectfully suggest that any XHTML errors due to duplicate ids of active_menu are due to some other module or code. |
| Pretty good stuff! by enovikoff, March 18, 2007 |

I was able to edit one of the existing CSS themes and get my menus to work the way I wanted relatively easily. It helped to have information from the original developer at http://jscook.yuanheng.org/JSCookMenu/ Not being an expert at CSS, I had trouble with background images and icons like the other reviewers, but it's definitely possible if you edit the CSS themes (check out the Office 2003 theme). I also had some trouble customizing the themes to be cross-browser compatible (the long list of hacks to try are best left to the experts!) It would be great to have a few more options inside the module to customize the look of the menu items without advanced CSS skills, which are necessary in particular for cross-browser compatibility. |
| Yes! Yes! Yes! by jeanreid, February 25, 2007 |
|
Thank you so much for this menu module - it was brilliant! Easy to use & works really well in the 'user1' position on the madeyourweb template, in the horizontal style. The optional images were an added bonus. |
| Works Great by ehm, February 17, 2007 |
|
Simple to install and fairly easy to change the existing CSS on any of the provided styles.
I unzipped the module file, made changes to the CSS and PHP of one of the premade styles, rezipped, installed the module and I had my menu with dropdowns looking how I wanted. |
