Sorry, but there are better ways to do this now. This project has been deprecated and is no longer in development. This page will be kept online for archival purposes and in case anyone is still interested in the project despite being no longer maintained.

The plugin generates the code necessary to create a Son of Suckerfish horizontal dropdown, vertical flyout or horizontal slider menu. The plugin produces W3C valid HTML and CSS and only requires JavaScript to function for very old browsers such as IE 6. The Javascript is held in an external file which is linked via IE conditional comments, so only the browsers which require it will download the file. You have control over what items (pages, categories, archives, blogroll etc.) appear in your dropdown via the plugins options page.

To style your menu, head over to the Multi-level Menu CSS Generator page. Simply copy and paste the CSS from the generator to the plugins options page.

Download

The plugin is available for download here … Multi-level Navigation Plugin

Installation

Add the following code wherever you want the dropdown to appear in your theme (usually header.php) and activate the plugin in your admin panel.

This code adds a button for your home page and dropdowns for your Pages, Archives, Categories and Blogroll.

><?php if (function_exists('pixopoint_menu')) {pixopoint_menu();} ?>

Customisation

You can modify the look of your dropdown by using our Multi-level Menu CSS Generator page. The generator has been designed with this plugin in mind, so just copy and paste the CSS code from the generator to the plugins options page.
