Hello, would it be possible to make a sub-menu that looks like a calendar. It would have to look like a table with dates within each box and text with the possibility of a tooltip on each box.

Thanks for any help.

There is one "calendar" promised, soon to come... I will wait for that....

but, yes I had the idea too, to create something looking like a calendar, could be done as follows: on principle: (ideas only, i did not do it !!)

. definition of menu topics (28,29,30,31..depending on the month)
- placing them into rows and colums

The definitions have to be arranged in a way, that the itemwidth of each item has to be the same.
The styles have to be drawn up, so it will look like a calendar.
Rows and columns ara automatically created, when a vertical menu is "divided" by the "divides" property, menu definition e.g. "divides=5;"
You will have to get exactly 7 days in one row (or column), so the minimum number of items in that menu will have to be e.g. 28, (divides=4) and for all the other months 35, with the balance topics/days exceeding 29, 30 or 31, will have to stay empty/space or be black colored etc..

I am using an arrangement similar to that for the navigation within long files, with alphabetically sorted content, called it submenu: "A-Z".

The Milonic "Multi columns menu" will help !! (It helped me too!)

Hi,

Try these to play around. They use the openstyle=tab and the Amazon Tabbed Style type layout. Make sure you take a look at the text file in the zip. It's got generic submenus in it for every month, what day it starts etc.

Calendar Style Submenus Test

There's a zip file to download, but no menu files in it. Tooltips is because I played with some designs, make sure it doesn't overwrite your existing tooltips if you have one.

Have fun
