The CSS doesn't work on the custom links, only when it links directly to the categories. You can't ask for help on the developer's website since the "comment" form doesn't work. You're pretty much dead in the water if you have issues with this mod.

I have read lot of great comments so i don´t think this module is bad but i have a problem.

I have configured it correctly but it still doesn´t show any categories. I tried to ask this in comment section of this module but it is not working so this is the only place where i can ask about this.

I also read that i´m not the only one with this problem. I have VM 1.1.9 installed so is that the cause?

Works well, but seems to be depandant of PHP's magic_quotes_gpc = On, which is no longer recommended practice.
And the backslash is annoying. It would be nice with an update.

This is very easy to use & modify.

The only problem I have found is that the Categories only go 2 levels. I have seem on their site that this has been a problem for awhile & hasn't been fixed yet.

Other then that it is a great mod.

Really easy to install and set up. Super simple styling. My only question is: is there a way to re-order categories based on their list order instead of alphabetically?

Thanks for the great module!

Once you figure out how to get it installed it works great.

I just tried to install version mod_vm_css_menu_v.1.2.0 and received error messages about the /tmpl/default.php missing. The tmpl folder is included in the zip file it is just missing from the install xml file. To fix this all you need to do it unzip the install package and upload the tmpl folder to your server in the modules/mod_vm_css_menu/ folder.

impossible to write anything on the owner webpage, so I write it here.
I tried to install, but some image "rosette.png" is missing in the archive resulting in an install error.will try again by replacing with some dummy inmage with same name.just thought it would be good for the owner to know about it.
