Joomla! 2.5 free drop down menu

DJ-Menu is a good drop down menu.

Download: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/structure-a-navigation/menu-systems/drop-a-tab-menus/16232

Parameters instruction: http://dj-extensions.com/dj-menu/blog


DJ-Menu is a suckerfish menu with animated mootools effects.
Now, you can easily manage whether the menu is animated or just scriptless css drop-down.
Navigate Extensions > Module Manager and choose DJ-Menu module.
Let's take a look at Module Parameters:

DJ-Menu

Short description:
  • Menu name – choose the name of menu (default is mainmenu) Navigate to Menus > Menu Manager

    menu-manager

  • Include default css – if you want to change menu CSS styling, change this parameter to 'No' and copy djmenu.css and djmenu_fx.css files from /modules/mod_djmenu/assets/css/ into /templates/[your_template]/css/. Then you may change font sizes, colors, backgrounds, etc. of DJ-Menu elements. The only difference between djmenu.css and djmenu_fx.css is replacement of all occurences of 'li:hover' (djmenu.css) with 'li.hover' (djmenu_fx.css)
    Notice!
    If you upgrade your DJ-Menu from version less than 1.5.0 you also need to replace all occurences of '#dj-main' with '.dj-main'.
  • Enable Effects - if Yes, submenus will be showing and hiding with nice mootools effects. Requirements: Joomla! 1.5.19+ , enabled 'System - Mootools Upgrade' plugin (available since Joomla! 1.5.19 as core plugin)
