This will enable you to create a menu based on images (only), rather than just text or text + images.
It´s no problem to install or get it running even if you are new to Joomla.
The hover function dosen´t seem to work but otherwise it´s quite recomendable.
Thank´s for great work.

Hover requires some tweaking on your template.
Manage to get everything to work after reading the instructions. Perhaps can make the instructions more accessible coz it did took me a while to find it. After reading it, everything was piece of cake and the mouseover really works! Thanks for this brilliant contribution!!
It was a long night until i found this module.
It does what it states and it was very simple to use.

I've used this package on two client's sites and it turned out very nice. Much better than jumping through hoops to get image menus using css.
I did run into two situations were I wasn't able to get the menus to appear the way I needed. So I made a few changes to the code.Maybe other's would benifit.
The first was I couldn't get the images in a horizontal menu to be flush against each other. To fix it I removed the space in line 380 of legacy.php I changed cellspacing from 1 to 0.
The second problem was the vertical legacy menu inserted the menu text link under the image. To fix it on line 144 of helper.php I changed mosShowVIMenu to mosShowVIMenuMMI.

This is a great extension doing, just what a lot of people need. Simple to use, just like Joomla's Menu module, great addition is possibility to disable list bullets for those not that familiar with CSS. Maybe in future versions there could be added a hover image support?

Hover imaging using the current code is very difficult to achieve, however we will try to implement some mechanism to enable hover images. There is a CSS workaround on the site ... but its not very elegant.
