Indexhibit Support

In a nutshell we are trying to build a website with a menu system like this nice one previously posted on the forum.

aanantzoo.com/

Can anyone show us where there is a tutorial or a link to help us understand how to build a sub menu system to allow us to set up exactly the same menu layout?

Mega thanks

Hello!
Search the Customize section of this forum for "Columner for indexhibit 2".
You may need to do some further customizing but it's good start.

Hi,

I'm still looking for a tutorial or a link to help us understand how to build a sub menu system to allow us to set up exactly the same menu layout as in the second website below.

Currently my test indexhibit V2 site looks like this
calumstirling.co.uk.
but I need submenu's that look like this
aanantzoo.com/

Mega thanks

Hello again

As I mentioned above the Columner theme is a good start but css/coding skills are needed to reproduce exactly what you re after. There s many tutorials on the web to help you out. Also to track down specific css selectors simply use Firebug the Firefox plugin.
But have you bumped onto something you can't figure out, if so can you describe it?

Hello again,

I want the links on the top menu to open a list of links on the left, which when they are clicked open a slide show on the right as in my existing indexhibit V1 site.

calumstirling.com
(Please not this .com site is different than the new calumstirling.co.uk site)

I could almost say that I want calumstirling.com with a top mast menu, as in calumstirling.co.uk. I just dont know how to do it, ha!

I'm not understanding what you want to do at this point - what do you mean?

One very short, clear question.

Hi,
Sorry about any confusion.
How do I get the top menu to open a vertical menu underneath on the left?

Aha - well use the Indexpand plugin found in the Plugins section on the left.
There's instructions on how to install and adjust the way you want.

Sorry but thats not going to allow me to make a site which has a menu structure like this site below.
aanantzoo.com

I would describe what i'm looking for as a three table structure. top horizontal table, side vertical table and the main table.

I have top table but not the other two, how do I create them?

There's few ways to do this.
You can take advantage of #copy.bottom-section (which is the Post-nav area) and use css to move it around and at the same time move the margin of #exhibit

1. #copy.bottom-section p { width: 350px; }
2. #copy.bottom-section {
3.     width: 350px; 
4.     bottom: 0;
5.     left: 0;
6.     margin: 0;
7.     padding: 0 0 0 40px;
8.     position: absolute !important;
9.     text-align: left;
10.     top: 140px;
11.     z-index: 100; 
12. }
13. #exhibit { margin-left: 400px; }
14. Of course this is a layout in which the second panel stays the same thoughout the site.

The alternative and dynamic way to do this is to customize the over and over format to have the layout that you're after... Or whichever format you want.
The Horizontal format for example is exactly like you want but images scroll sideways.

Ok, thanks
