I have tried to convert the theme red tie. im pretty happy with the result, but i just cant get the menus right.
There has to be a menu, and a submenu. Ive tried to use the moilio menus, but with no luck. Now i use the menu hori snippet, but the submenu aint dynamic and is locked to the doc id.
Now take a look and tell me what im missing, so can get menus right and get this template done:-)
You can see the template in action here

Use listglobal or listmenu at the top, listmenu on the bottom. Each configured correctly, of course.

If I use the menusnippet, the graphic is wrong. And it list the menu vertical instead of horizontal.

You can make menuHori document sensitive (ie show children if they exists, otherwise, show nothing) by simply adding the following line in the snippet configuration:

$id=$etomite->documentIdentifier;

and leave off the snippet call altogether.

so you will see:
// --Config:--
// Insert what you would like to appear between
// the links in the " " below.

$seperator="  |  ";
$id=$etomite->documentIdentifier;
// --End Config--

Just about any menu snippet (expecially ListMenu) can be styled horizontally or vertically using CSS.

Im sure it can. The problem is my lacking css skills.
Ive made a working version using MenuHori. But the user has to have two snippets, MenuHori and MenuHori2.
It works, but i dont think its a pretty solution.

Could anyone post an example of the css code to be used, when aligning the listmenu horizontally ?
