Quick question about editing the Menu

[d3vcho]

Hi!

I want to create a clickable dropdown menu for those tabs with subelements. The thing is that I couldn't find where to edit those tabs of the menu.. For example for those tabs with subelements I want to place an arrow next to them. I've been looking for a while around Subs and Subs-Menu but I couldn't find it...

I'm using 2.0.11 and the default theme.

Thank you

It depends on what do you want to do. Is this for a theme or a mod?  What menu do you want to modify, the main menu (the one with home, search, calendar, etc)  the admin menu, the profile menu?

It's for a theme. And I want to edit the Main Menu.

Then it will be on your theme's index.template.php

function template_menu()  takes a $context array and applies HTML to it to form a menu, usually a combination of uls and lis.

You can use $button['sub_buttons'] to know if a parent button has sub-elements, using a ternary would do the trick:

Code Select Expand


<a class="', $button['active_button'] ? 'active ' : '', 'firstlevel" href="', $button['href'], '"', isset($button['target']) ? ' target="' . $button['target'] . '"' : '', '>
<span class="', isset($button['is_last']) ? 'last ' : '', 'firstlevel">', $button['title'], '</span>
</a>';


Code Select Expand


<a class="', $button['active_button'] ? 'active ' : '', 'firstlevel" href="', $button['href'], '"', isset($button['target']) ? ' target="' . $button['target'] . '"' : '', '', !empty($button['sub_buttons']) ? 'aqui tu flecha' : '' ,'>
<span class="', isset($button['is_last']) ? 'last ' : '', 'firstlevel">', $button['title'], '</span>
</a>';

I applied the changes but nothing seems to be changed... I'm a PHP newbie, so sorry about that.

What should I put exactly in "aquí tu flecha"? I put a simple "^" just to check, but it's not displayed.

[All Colours Sam]

The ternary is inside the anchor tag, which means "aqui tu flecha" will appear inside the anchor tag before the closing >

It depends on what you want to do, if you want to add a new class or an ID to the anchor or the parent li or create a new tag inside the anchor tag or inside the parent li, just move around the ternary bit:

', !empty($button['sub_buttons']) ? 'aqui tu flecha' : '' ,'

To the place you want.

It worked.
