   No, I don’t have a donate page, although I will definitely be adding one now. I do my best to make plugins which people find useful and am honored that you would consider donating money to me In the mean time, you can PayPal money to ryanhellyer@hotmail.com.

   To be honest I can’t remember what features I’ve included in the latest beta version of the plugin, but I’ll take a look later tonight and let you know then.

   I’ll email details for costs for a custom menu. With a custom coded menu you can have pretty much whatever you want in your dropdowns.

   Ryan,

   Suggestion/Question,

   Two things,
   1. This new version is incredible, thank you again, Do you have a donate page?

   2. The Custom menu option for Item 1 is great! is there a way to make the custom menu the last one used? for example number 6? If not can I suggest it for a later version.

   Please let me know if it is possible, of if it would be coming soon? Maybe give me a estimate if this is a feature you would charge for?

   Thanks again..

   Dave - I can’t see any problems with your site going under your main content. Is it the main chunk of text on your page which is the problem or your sidebar?

   I saw the code I assume you were talking about above in your site too. Adjusting margins is a handy way to move the dropdown around, but I’m not sure I want to delve too deeply into teaching HTML/CSS here as there is a whole swathe of different methods to positioning such things and it entirely depends on the situation at hand.

   Relative, absolute and fixed positioning all have their place, as do floating and inline methods of displaying the dropdown menu and I’d really need to provide tutorials on all of those things. The complicated part is preparing the CSS in the first place, position the menu is usually the easy bit.

   I may provide some examples of how to position the menu on the page, but I doubt that will be for quite some time.

   Dave - WordPress swallowed your code. You need to remove any <’s and >’s and replace them with /< and /> to display codes here. Feel free to email the code to ryanhellyer@hotmail.com and I’ll edit your comment with the correct code.

   Sidebars can be any part of your theme you want them to be, it depends on what code you put into your sidebar file/s. Although they’re generally considered to be the blocks of links/info on the left and right hand side of blogs. My sidebar is on the right and contains my blogs navigation.

   The problem with your menu going behind the content is caused by the use of positioning and z-indexes in your theme. I’ll take a look at your site and see what I can do to fix it.

   The RSI is much better now, thanks for asking Serves me right for using my laptop while cooped up in an awkward position.

   HEllo Ryan!

   Love your dropdown menu. Have been looking for something like this for some time.

   I saw that there were some questions about positioning the menu bar. In reading through the different questions and answers on your page, I came up with the following:

   If you put this line just above the line in the header.php, you can place the menue anywhere you want on the header by manipulating the different px numbers, make it as wide, narrow, etc. as you like. Perhaps you can include this in your Suckerfish Dropdown Generator page.

   My problem is that the menu goes behind the main page. I saw where others had it going behind the sidebars, but did not know if, being new to this, if all of the sections are called sidebars. I used the fix above to raise the menu so it could be used, but it looks kind of odd. Can you help?

   Also, hope you are feeling much better and have completely recovered from the RSI.

   Thanks

   Radu - Thanks. Have added your link to the list of live examples.

   Hi

   Shane - Have you modified the CSS output from the generator? The following doesn’t look it is from the generator:
   #suckerfishnav li li {
padding-right:1px;
width:200px;
border-bottom:0px solid #aaa;
}

   #suckerfishnav li li a {
padding:4px 10px;
width:100px;
}


   The two widths should be the same, not different.

   Also, you are styling the menu via the #menu in your style sheet along with some direct styling of ALL unordered lists. If you remove those you may find it behaves better.

   You have the main text colour the same as the background of the menu too, so you won’t be able to see what each menu item is until you have moused over them.

   Michael - Thanks for the link. I’ll add it to my list of example sites tonight probably.

   To make the parent links unclickable, you will need to edit the code by hand to remove the URL. Copy the list from the source code generated on your page, and remove the URL from whatever links you want to be unclickable, then paste it into the “Custom code” option in the admin panel.

   Oh yeah, the above instructions only work for the beta version of the plugin. For the current version, you would need to paste the links directly into your theme file instead of using the < ?php suckerfish(); ?> function.

    Hi Ryan,

    Just wanted to let you know I am using your suckerfish plugin here: http://www.dolcefine.com. Thanks!

    One question: is there a way to make the parent links unclickable?

    Thanks!

    Kindly,

    Michael Shearer
