That's one test failed. It's the last operation only (#8). Easy fix:

Find

Code Select Expand

.dropmenu li:hover ul
{
display: block;
top: 27px;
}

Replace:

Code Select Expand

.dropmenu li:hover ul, #main_menu .dropmenu li:hover ul
{
display: block;
top: 27px;
}

I installed with the error, and replaced the code you gave here, this is the end result.

[Antechinus]

Yeah I know what's causing that. PoD doesn't use default positioning of menu_gfx.png or the default image for the drop menu background. That image is customised to hell. Use this in .dropmenu li ul:

   background: #000 url(../images/theme/menu_gfx.png) 0 -220px repeat-x;

[Kimmen]

It still display in the same way after that edit.

[Antechinus]

Clear your cache.

[Kimmen]

I did that too, and here is how it looks:

[Antechinus]

Link me to it.

[Kimmen]

I have uninstalled the mod intill fix is ready. www.efclan.eu

I can send you files if you like?

[Antechinus]

If you want help on this, link me to a live example of the problem. I don't like playing guessing games.

[Kimmen]

www.efclan.eu

I have put it back on.

[FireDitto]

It's no longer available to RC5?

=/ I know I should update to Gold, but it's so painful fixing it all up again afterwards >_>

[Kimmen]

Still need help.

[Antechinus]

Ok I see what the problem is.

Code Select Expand

#main_menu .dropmenu li ul
{
z-index: 90;
display: none;
position: absolute;
width: 19.2em;
font-weight: normal;
border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
background: url(../images/theme/menu_gfx.png) 0 -130px no-repeat;
padding: 7px 0 0 0;
left: -4px;
}

That code isn't in the theme's index.css, so you must have added it yourself. That's fine if you want to do that, but if you're going to add your own menu css then it kinda figures that you might put some thought into changes to css. You've made the change I mentioned earlier:

Yeah I know what's causing that. PoD doesn't use default positioning of menu_gfx.png or the default image for the drop menu background. That image is customised to hell. Use this in .dropmenu li ul:

   background: #000 url(../images/theme/menu_gfx.png) 0 -220px repeat-x;

but, you also need to make it to #main_menu .dropmenu, like this:

Code Select Expand

.dropmenu li ul
{
z-index: 90;
display: none;
position: absolute;
left: -6px;
width: 16em;
font-weight: normal;
background: #000 url(../images/theme/menu_gfx.png) 0 -220px repeat-x;
border: solid 1px #4F4131;
border-radius: 4px;
box-shadow: 2px 3px 5px 1px #000;
padding: 6px 0 2px 0;
}
#main_menu .dropmenu li ul
{
z-index: 90;
display: none;
position: absolute;
width: 19.2em;
font-weight: normal;
border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
background: #000 url(../images/theme/menu_gfx.png) 0 -220px repeat-x;
padding: 7px 0 0 0;
left: -4px;
}

That indeed makes it better. Thanks, i can live with this now. I see that the bar when hoover over dropdown menu does not complete itself, but this is not something that keeps bugging me, but if you know how to change it, then its nice.

Thanks for your help.

Excellent Mod and i was able to make all the modifications needed to get this working for my home made theme.  I was also able to successfully merge the few tricks from this post http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=444219.msg3123598#msg3123598 and http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=444605.0 and found the combination of everything to be working great.  I wanted to thank you for your knowledge and contributions.

Thanks again!
