hi
i have just started customizing my first theme/contribution. (based on alternative_simple theme) which i caanot wait to share. i have a menu/nav bar but i would like to have dropdown menus. this is what i have so far:
div id="page_container">
<div id="page_wrapper">
<div id="layout_header">
<div id="wrapper_header">
<!-- site name -->
<div id="site_name"><h1><a href="<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>"><?php echo $vars['config']->sitename; ?></a></h1></div>
<div id="menu">
<div id="menu_inner">
<a href="<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>pg/dashboard/" title="Dashboard"><span>DASHBOARD</span></a>
how do i add the dropdown to this? i have tried using code from other plugins but no joy.
oh and also, how would i include the standard messages icon next to the messages link so that next to "messages" i can have the messages icon change from white to red to inform of new messages?
can someone please advise?
thanks kindly
