Hi,
I just bought Revelation and am having a problem positioning my subchild menus. They're supposed to fly out to the right, but they're not flying out enough. Therefore, they're partially covering their respective child menus.
I've been adjusting the settings in the "Hornav - Sub-Child Block Styling" section of the Template.css file but with limited success. By doing so, I can move the subchild menus up and down, but not left-or-right, which is what I want.
Please see the last "News" item at http://www.extremegeographer.com as an example.
Years ago I used the 2.5 version of Revelation and all the sub-child menus were positioned correctly, just to the right of the child menus (no matter how wide or narrow the child menu column).
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks very much,
Del

Hi Del
To amend try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters...
On a side note there appears to be a Javascript conflict with your dropdown menu which by default has an animated effect. If you wish you can send temporary administration access to your Joomla installation to info@joomla51.com and we will examine this issue further. For our reference please paste a link to this post in your email.

#hornav li ul li ul {
left: 100% !important;
margin-left: 0;
}

Thanks Ciaran,
That "sort of" worked. As you suggested, I added this new code below the single line of existing code in the /* Hornav - Sub-Child Block Styling */ section of the Template.css file. And now, by modifying the values for "margin: -7px" and for "left: 100%," I can place the subchild menu precisely, up-and-down and left-and-right. So that's good.
But it's a fixed position, not relative to the width of the child menu column. So while I can position subchild menus correctly for one child menu (such as my "News" dropdowns), they won't be placed correctly for a child menu with a different column width. But it's certainly progress!
I'll send an email as you suggested. If you can figure it out, that would be great, but if not, I'll live with it. By the way, I love Revelation. It's one of the most beautiful Joomla templates I've ever seen -- which is why I've been using it for four years!
Thanks,

Thank you Del
Delighted to hear you are enjoying our Revelation template!
I notice you have quite a large number of plugins installed (90+). I suspect that one of these plugins may be causing the issue with your dropdown menu functioning correctly. Could I ask you to uninstall any plugins which you are no longer using. We can then see can we locate the plugin that may be causing the issue.

You're right about the number of plugins. About 30 of those are related to ArkEditor, all of which I just uninstalled. I also removed everything else I'm not using. If you want me to remove more plugins (or extensions), I can do that if it helps you diagnose the problem.
And just so you know, I created a new install of Revelation at a different website (www.extremegeographer2.com) and am having a similar problem with the subchild menus. If you click on the "News" button that I created, you'll see a News page with two subchild menu items, but neither are accessible. So maybe I'm doing something wrong, since I'm having the problem with both websites, or I haven't configured something correctly.
Anyway, thanks for your help, Ciaran!

Thank you Del
As it turns out the issue was elsewhere. I added 'moomenu' to the menu tag ID field of your menu modules parameters and your animated menu is not working correctly.
