Navigation
Pete Gikkas
I am using the navigation features of structure. I am using EE 2.5.2 and Structure 3.2.3. This is the invocation that I am using:
{exp:structure:nav mode="full" include="5|6|7|8|9|10|11" css_class="nav"}
I have several child menu choices defined. When the panel displays the children menu items they appear horizontally under the parent menu item. That is not very presentable and I would like to have them presented vertically and only appear on a mouse-over. From the instructions manual i am unable to determine how to accomplish this. Any thoughts? If this is not possible in Structure do you know of or have any recommendations for products that can accomplish this? Thanks

Hi Pete -
You should remove mode as it was deprecated a while ago. Here are some examples of how to achieve the same things with the new methods: http://buildwithstructure.com/documentation/navigation_examples/
As far as how it displays, this is more of a CSS issue, not so much Structure (we only make the markup). You'll need to research creating hover/dropdown menus via CSS.

So, I'm , somewhat confused. in the documentation for V3 it states that the nav_full was deprecated and replaced by the mode="full". http://buildwithstructure.com/documentation/what_tags_changed_in_30/ . When i remove the mode=full the child entries are not generated. What is it that would then force the child entries to be generated. thanks

Hey Pete - we changed things once more time on you :)
We made modes no longer necessary (bad idea in the first place). Here's several examples to achieve the same results: http://buildwithstructure.com/documentation/navigation_examples/
Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
