I like the menu, but in my case I cant use description or module or columns... It just doesn't work properly - I cant find the reason. I have PHP 5, latest Joomla. I didn't found any support forum.

there is no forum. You can email me with the contact form on my website. Your the first I heard the menu doesn't work. May be your website corrutped ?
I'm sorry that I couldn't rate this menu "5 Starts" , but this doesn't mean that its not a good menu. There is ONLY ONE problem with it - instead of using css files, it uses php files for styling(maximenuH_CK.php and maximenuV_CK.php) making it hard to look for customizing
Owner's reply
These php file are css with .php extension (for dynamic ID). You can modify it like another css file, you just need to open it in an editor.
I have been using v2.3 on a site as this was the only menu that was easily deployable for that site. And I was just going to review it as being excellent. Today I just discovered it has been updated to v. 3.1 and a bunch of (very cool)features has been added making this excellent module totally awesome. Only thing I could wish for would be documentation on the css which would help speed up modification for site brand compliance.
I am happy to see this module being actively maintained. Thanks.

Very nice extensions, easy to install and works easily, I'm voting excellent coz all in all is best, I just have one problem adjusting the size of sub menu item, I can't adjust the width and height of sub menu item, Main menu item can be adjusted by resizing the background images.,for sub menu item I don't have control due to little knowledge on CSS.
Maxi Menu CK is an excellent drop down menu. Its developed and improved upon regularly.
One interesting feature that might add a whole new dimension to the menu would be the ability to have a default menu item triggered. That way the menu could be in its position, some module content that you want to highlight as well at the same time. That content then would change as you chose your different menu items.
Anyway I love this menu.

hi, thanks for voting, I don't really understand you request on the way it could be improved. please email me to tell about this.
A big thanks goes out to the developer for providing this module. It has awesome multi-column capabilities, as well as other gems like the ability to load modules right in the menu items.
My only question to the developer is this... is there a way to have a menu item only be an image (no text is shown for the item)?

Hi, yes you can put an image by css (background property) and hide the text (display none), or load a module with just an image.
Hi,
that's really a great tool to make a nice looking and well working menu. I only would like to recommend to develop an english version too.
Good job thanks

Hi, thanks for suggesting, this is now done. French and english langages are available
It is probably the best drop down menu module available for Joomla today. The documentation given in the site (see at the bottom of the page) gives simple explanation with screen shots!
Thumbs Up! Great work. And, a big thanks.

Looks good job. I have been waiting a long time for this menu. Please show how to load a module position in the menu. I want more information but will not find
Owner's reply
Hi, you can find the documentation here http://www.joomlack.fr.nf/demos-d-extensions-joomla/menu/maxi-menu-ck-menu-deroulant-avance.html
To load a module you must call it with its name like 'latestnews' for example : [modname=latestnews] to put in the menu link.
