Hi,

Do you mean any particular one or just generally - e.g. as collected here?

Anyway, this would need either a custom web part (based on repeaters) or modification of an existing one.
Most probably you will need to modify the html output of those web parts. It's stored in RenderedHTML property, that can be modified on Render/PreRender.

Closer instructions are not yet present in any document.

Regards,
Zdenek C.

Thanks Zdenek.

I was hoping to find a bit more of a detailed roadmap of how to accomplish a Mega Menu in Kentico ... no particular one.

Ultimately I would love to develop one like this Kentico site at http://www.johnscreekga.gov/

Hi,

You can integrate third party controls in Kentico CMS. We have few KB articles about third party menus, so you can take inspiration from there (the API and pricples are still the same - I mean how to get the nodes and so on):

Here is a blog post talking about the articles.

I hope it will help.

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus

Tom Did you find a solution to this. I was hoping that I could get a hand from someone that has done this before. I am not an especially talented coder but I am pretty good at deconstructing it.

No, we have not tackled this yet. It's still on our wish list.
