Multiple columns

Hi there

Trying to use Creativity v 3.10 to have a menu with 2 columns.
Here is what I do (as a simple example): -

MyList (set columns=2)
-| Countries (set group=Y)
--| America
--| UK
-| Cities (set group=Y)
--| London
--| New York

When the mouse hovers over "MyList, the menu renders. However, it shows a panel large enough for 2 columns, but displays both Countries & Cities groups in a single column on the left. It doesn't shift "Cities" over to the second column.

Tried a few variations (setting Subcontent=Position & using menu1/menu2 but this doesnt do anything). Tried looking at the documentation and searching forums but there doesnt seem any explicit instructions/help available.

Curiously, if you do the below, then Cities renders correctly in the second column (although Cardiff dangles below and there is an extra/unwanted column): -

MyList (set columns=3)
-| Countries (set group=Y)
--| America
--| UK
-| Cities (set group=Y)
--| London
--| New York
-| Cardiff (!Note this parent is MyList, not Cities!)

Used chrome/inspect element and the html/DOM elements seem to look very similar in both cases. Checked out the lib/menu/GKMenu.php & GKBase.class.php source code but nothing seems obvious. Also, mouseover functions look the same, so not quite sure where it is left/right positioning the text.

This is an internal website at the moment, so cannot provide login details.

Does anyone have any idea of why this isnt working ?

It should be quite simple when you look at the example on http://demo.gavick.com/ but having checked the mouseover on the "MEN" menu item it looks different.

Hi

in my opinion a margin/padding/border makes it too width to fit, but unfortunatelly I cannot tell for sure without seeing it. Please ignore it for now and get back to me when You will be able to send me a link to an example.

Hi

In other thread about a similar problem user has just enabled width animation in template settings for menu it it helped. Please try that. If not please send me an access to joomla panel and ftp. So I'll fix it and will tell You after what was the problem.

Hi There

Menu width animation was enabled (as was the height). Tried playing around with a few different options (off/on) and changing the width to 250 etc., but nothing seemed to put the menu into the 2nd column.

I have emailed you the details.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi

I've checked the site, but looks like problem is with server. Menu is being handled by javascript which starts to work only if website is fully loaded. In Your case site never stops load, so script is not working at all. I thought it's because of some extention, but admin panel has the exact same issue. Please ask You host provider if there are no additional scripts loading and preventing site to load fully.
