hey ho — love the plugin, just having some problems getting it right, largely because i have no idea what i’m doing. the site is http://www.howtostanduppaddlesurf.com.
I’ve kind of figured out how to use the custom feature, but how can I get rid the big space under "board people" and add another space under "the board dealers"?
Also: How can I get the text to align to the left the way it does elsewhere in the sidebar?
Thanks much!
Erik

Interesting use for the plugin. I haven’t see anyone try to do this before.
Are you sure you aren’t better off with a flyout menu though? The dropdown is displaying on top of the other menu option when you hover over the one above.
I [b:1hk3cc2l]think[/b:1hk3cc2l] (haven’t checked) that the following is causing your problems with the text not lining up properly. Try changing the 10px to something less.
[code:1hk3cc2l]#suckerfishnav li li a {
padding:4px 10px;[/code:1hk3cc2l]yup, the dropdown is not so good but if i put a flyout menu in, won’t i run into problems if i add too many links? thing’ll fly right off the edge of the screen. maybe i’ll have to separate the two dropdowns into custom1 and custom2 and hope i never need a third. or else maybe there’s a way to have one go up (dropup?) and the other dropdown. ha ha, just kidding, i think.
meanwhile, i tried changing the 10px to a lesser number, to no effect. any other ideas, either to lessen the space above or add space below?
just saw what the vertical menus are — very cool. but they’re a premium feature, right? i wonder how much that might cost for my little operation …
update:
okay, i just figured out some of the spacing issues; i’d misplaced some code. but … i still can’t figure out how to get rid of the space after the > marks. hmmmm.another update:
okay, brilliant me just put the menus side by side and there’s no overlap. looks a little ungainly but it works fine, so far.
but … the damn little > marks are still giving me fits. Can’t get the text close to ’em, plus they’re not exactly level with the text. thoughts? or else maybe you know how i could get rid of them altogether. they don’t do much for me …hey, i’m posting to myself mostly but i might as well update my progress. i finally got everything worked out to my satisfaction, with the spacings all correct and the menus dropping down in such a way that one doesn’t bother the other. wish i could have two instances of the plugin running, one for the l sidebar and one for the right, but one will have to do. very nice.
i learned a lot setting everything up, so the 12 or 14 hrs was time well spent. and fun, too.
thanks again for the plugin. it’s very nice.[quote:rwfk5uso]just saw what the vertical menus are — very cool. but they’re a premium feature, right? i wonder how much that might cost for my little operation …[/quote:rwfk5uso]
Since you are just doing a tiny flyout, just hit the donate button and I’ll set it up as a flyout for whatever amount you put in there.

That is possible, but you need to hard code in the second dropdown. I’m thinking of adding this as an option in a future version of the plugin.

Perhaps try using text-indent:0 in your CSS or adjusting the paddings (I haven’t tested either of these).
