Oh wow, where to start?? I started bookmarking threads and then I gave up very quickly because the whole forum is a treasure trove Like Kongondo, my one bookmarked and favorite page that I return to again and again is http://processwire.com/api/ I also spend a lot of time in the FAQs, API & Templates, and the Modules/Plugins sections of the forum

I need to get ProCache ASAP

Soma, I agree with you about the many classes, but this is the HTML/CSS template as it was handed to me by the client to port into PW, so not much I can do about it, especially because I'm not a front end HTML/CSS dev. But I'll try to figure it out some more, was just seeking some help on how to apply MSN for all the levels of classes in this particular nav No problem Soma, I'm not really asking or expecting anyone to do any work for me Thanks for your response.

Welcome to Processwire! Enjoy

Thanks for the reply. I probably won't need to use the mega menu, I just need to get the dropdowns working for now. I'll take a look at the link you've posted to see if I should just go for a custom menu system and forget about using MSN for this. cheers

Thanks for this fab module Soma. I've managed to get it work just fine on most of my simple sites, but now I'm having a bit of a headache and wonder if someone can help. This is for a responsive template with dropdown menus and a megamenu (which I haven't attempted to integrate yet). The dropdowns work fine on a standard screen, but on mobile or tablet the menu items in the dropdown don't work and don't open the relevant page. I think the problem is with the classes. Here's a sample of what the menu should look like (to the third level): <li class="sep"></li> <li class="primary"> <a href="features-neko-shortcodes.html" class="firstLevel hasSubMenu" >Features</a> <ul class="subMenu"> <li><a href="features-neko-shortcodes.html">Neko shortcodes</a></li> <li><a href="features-animation.html">Neko animations</a></li> <li><a href="features-footers.html">Footers</a></li> <li class="dropdownSubmenu last"><a href="#" class="hasSubMenu">Sub menu</a> <ul class="subMenu"> <li><a href="#" class="">Third level 1</a></li> <li><a href="#" class="">Third level 2</a></li> <li class="last"><a href="#" class="">Third level 3</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="sep"></li> So after several tries this is how I have my MSN call in the template: <?php $treeMenu = $modules->get("MarkupSimpleNavigation"); // load the module $options = array( 'parent_class' => 'primary', 'current_class' => 'current', 'has_children_class' => '', 'levels' => true, 'levels_prefix' => '', 'max_levels' => null, 'firstlast' => true, 'collapsed' => false, 'show_root' => true, 'selector' => '', 'selector_field' => 'nav_selector', 'outer_tpl' => '<ul class="nav navbar-nav pull-right">||</ul>', 'inner_tpl' => '<ul class="subMenu">||</ul>', 'list_tpl' => '<li%s>||</li>', 'list_field_class' => '', 'item_tpl' => '<a class="firstLevel hasSubMenu" href="{url}">{title}</a>', 'item_current_tpl' => '<a href="{url}">{title}</a>', 'xtemplates' => '', 'xitem_tpl' => '<a href="{url}">{title}</a>', 'xitem_current_tpl' => '<span>{title}</span>', 'date_format' => 'Y/m/d', 'code_formatting' => false, 'debug' => false ); echo $treeMenu->render($options, $page, $rootPage); ?> As I said I've got this working for regular displays but it won't work for other devices, and when I view page source, the classes aren't really correct. One thing is I'm still struggling with how to vary the a href classes for the different levels, and how to change the li classes for the third level menu. I'm sure there are many other things wrong with it, so would appreciate another set of eyes. cheers

Hi Max Welcome to Processwire, good to see you here I know you will fall in love with Processwire. I've been meaning to write some newbie tutorials for PW but have been quite swamped with client work and have had some big projects going. But it's still on my to-do list. Processwire is a fantastically flexible CMS to work with, and you can bend it any which way you want, depending on your needs and skills. I dare say it's a lot more flexible than MODX ever will be, and you never need to learn another templating tag in your life You can just fit PW into the way you like to work, which is what would make creating tutorials tricky, since a tutorial would only present one way of doing things My advice is the same as everyone else's. Start with the docs, understand how template files work (http://processwire.com/api/templates/) and then get hands on. Come back to the forums and ask questions when you get stuck, and one day the light bulb will just go on and you'll be on your way There are still things I find quite challenging in PW but I'm constantly learning and building my skillset here, and I'm hoping to very soon have time to document the things I'm learning how I'm learning them. Just jump in, you can't go wrong
