Hi Alex,

the Orientation settings in SiteMenu control doesn't currently apply to the ASP.NET menu but it will in the next release. It only affects the skmMenu currently.

However you can easily correct this problem in the theme.skin file in your skin folder. Scroll down the the asp:Menu section and set the Orientation there.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Oh I thought you meant in layout.master in the <portal:SiteMenu there is an attribute for it there but now that I look its named "Direction" not "Orientation"  Direction="Vertical".

However the Direction setting doesn't affect the ASP.NET menu in the current release it only affects skmMenu.

But I know what the problem is, we are using the CSS Control Adpater to make the menu render as ul and li instead of nested tables which is the default ASP.NET menu behaviour. Using this adapter pretty much unhooks the menu from the theme and it is all controlled from the css file

What you need to do is comment out all the css for the menu in style.css and copy it in from one of the other skins that has a horizontal menu like mojoguidetogalaxy or ibuyspy, then tweak it for the style you want.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Hi Alex,

I'm not sure, I remember I modified it based on the one from here
http://www.asp.net/cssadapters/
and studying the white paper here
http://www.asp.net/cssadapters/WhitePaper.aspx

If you find a way to modify the mojoPortal.MenuAdapter to facilitate StaticDisplayLevels let me know and I'm glad to make the change. If not I'll try to look into it myself when I have a chance. I would think some additional css classes could be setup for this and then assigned in the adapter beased on the attribute.

Its possible to bypass the adapter as well by declaring a new class that inherits from ASP.NET menu. I did this during an experiment trying to decide if I wanted to use the Menu control for the MyPage feature. I ended up not using it but you can see in Web/Controls/PostBackMenu.cs (AutoPostBack also doesn't work with the adapter)
