Mega Menu Possible?
Does anybody know if it's possible to integrate a mega menu type of navigation into a site? Possibly integrated with the CSS LIst Menu webpart? Something like this:

Mega Menu

If not, I would love to see this in a future release.

Hi Brandon

It looks as though the jQuery is doing all the hard work, and as you suggest CSS list menu would be the closest thing Kentico has to a dynamic navigation ready for its use.

The main problem i see is that all sub menu items (ul > li > ul) require a div called 'sub' to surround them (ul > li > div > ul) so i wonder if you duplicate the webpart and add some custom code amends to make this happen!? I dont know what exactly but hopefully one of the Kentico guys can answer that.

Thanks

Hello,


1. You can integrate a 3rd party component or create a new web part.

2. If you want to change the output code of CSS list menu you can re-write its RenderedHTML property. Please see this forum thread for a sample.
