Structure menu behind content..

United States

Using 6.2...

When using a module with the menustructure module, the sub-level menus appear behind the center content area, making them impossible to use.

I tried adding a z-index attribute to the second level menu:

Copy to clipboard
li.option ul {...}


But I can't seem to bring the menu sub-levels to the top.

Any ideas?

Hi Rick,

Here's one thing to check. Normally, modules (.box) have an overflow:hidden CSS property. Modules that contain menus, though, have the property overflow: visible !important. Maybe the menustructure module's box needs this to be set. I don't see a way to set overflow=y as a parameter in Tiki 6, so you probably need to add a CSS rule for the module's .box div, if this seems to be the cause of the dropdowns not showing.

I don't think that's it... The actual box content (the first level of the menu) is fully visible. It is the sub menu that gets "cut off" — only the leftmost few pixels appear, the rest is "behind" the center (#c1) column.

You can see it in action on doc.t.o. Look at the Installation Guide menu in the bottom of the left column.

This is actually the solution to the problem. I to had this issue and used Chromes development tool to add overflow to the .box which allows the menu to show up again. Looking at the CSS for 6.2, it appears that there is no overflow listed so it will need to be added.

Yup! I was adding it to the wrong box. All is now working!

I added this rule to layout.css (in subversion trunk and branch 6), so the behavior should be fixed in the next Tiki release (and custom css to deal with this can be retired then).

(Begs Desperately) Could someone be more specific with exactly needs to be added to where. I am not a coder, so I don't fully understand the references. I can find the .box in the css, but I don't know exactly what to add or where.

Try adding:

Copy to clipboard
div.box {overflow:visible !important}
