Is there a way to have this run automatically? Say 1AM everyday?

Comment on Easy rollover menus in Joomla by Pieter

It worked! But I’m not yet content with the menu behavior.
I’m using joomla 1.5.3, so I placed main and sub menu items into one joomla menu.
I tried your suggestion to begin with a higher level and that worked! (I should use “begin with level” 1 instead of 2 because for some reason the levels are numbered from 0 here). Later I found that setting “Menu Count” in the extended menu module to 2, both main and sub menu are showed using only one extended menu. So far so good.
Currently, the submenu is showed after clicking on the parent menu item. It is placed in a row below the (single-row) main-menu and lines out entirely left, no matter the location of the parent menu item. The submenu stays on screen when I choose a sub menu option, and only disappears when I choose another parent menu.

1) I would like to hide the sub menu items after selecting one of them.
2) Is it possible to locate the sub menu items below the parent menu item?
(so a behavior more or less like a windows menu or, let’s say, www.ge.com)
3) Answering the questions will cost you some time. Maybe you would like to be paid for your efforts?

Well, I’m not totally sure how you’re trying to do the submenu but this is how we do it. You first create the entire menu structure in the Joomla administrator. Then we setup the top level menu. You can limit how many menus the top level shows, we usually only show 1 level.

Then from the module manager create another module to hold your submenu. Change the “begin with level” option to 2 to only show the 2nd level menu items and below.

Joomla 1.5 mainmenu module has this ability built in, although they still don’t have the ability to do image only menus without a hack.

I was wondering if it is possible to work with submenu’s in image only mode.

I used this sprites / extended menu technique to make a menu and it works fine. Now I want sub menus too, so I made sub menu items in the menu with images linked to them too. Unfortunately, the sub menu items don’t show up in the menu style “flat list”. When I choose menu style “select list”, the menu items do show up, in text.

i tried noah’s clue through terminal.
It works! so well!
for someone who uses a client (i use CocoaMySQL — yes, I’m a Mac), it’s possible to type those commands directly in the “Custom Query” area. No use to mess with the terminal. Maybe everyone would have known this but I didn’t!

I’m so new in that… but anyway…
OpenOffice (at least NeoOffice, the aqua-themed counterpart for Mac) DOES let you choose wether or not having fields enclosed with ” “.
It’s free. Install it. Open a .xls file. Save it in the .csv formal. A window with many options will open. It’s there.
I hope that can be usefull!

[…] CSS Sprites - This technique was perfected back in the days when video game consoles had limited memory. They ended up with little 16×16 pixel blocks with which to work in. Applying this technique to web page design we can combine similar images in the same file and use CSS to offset. This is most easily done with buttons or images of exactly the same size. Take a look at this technique for doing CSS sprite rollover menu buttons. […]
