Ok, I have to say I was a bit skeptical when Rob said it could be so easy to change out (or add) a fully customizable drop down menu to my clients ZeppOS website. But I'm a believer now. Rob walked me through the drop down menu conversion process on one of my websites today. I was really impressed with amount of customization Open Cube allows and even more impressed with the way the Open Cube code gets dropped in to the ZeppOS design interface with just a few clicks. Rob has made the process simple and painless, which is especially nice for the programming-challenged folk like me. I prefer the new menus because they are easy to configure, and there are a ton of attractive menu samples to choose from as your starting point. Within a few minutes you can customize your colors to match your site design and copy and paste your code into ZeppOS and youre done! Im also stoked to know that the code needed for these drop down menus is SEO friendly and works well in IE and Firefox browsers. In short, heres how to do it:Log in to ZeppOS, go to the Control Panel, then Design and Manage Menus. Click on the Launch Editor link.a. Select a Menu Template (found on the left)b. Click on "Customize Menu" (lower right)c. Configure Menu as desiredIf you are familiar with the Open Cube interface, make your changes using the various options listed in the left hand column. If all those options are a bit intimidating, choose the Quick Color Editor icon in the top row of icons, about half way across. This is an easy way to visually change the colors of the sample menu to the colors you want to match your design. Just copy and paste the RGB values in place of the existing colors.d. Custom PublishChoose File, Custom Publishe. Set both "CSS Stylesheet" and "Menu Code/Add Ons" to "External" and click Nextf. Copy and Paste the CSS into the CSS box back in the ZeppOS Control Panelg. Copy and Paste the Javascript into the Javascript box back in ZeppOS Control Panelh. Press Update.i. Lastly, go to your skin(s) and replace your previous menu with [?NAV:M111D?]Voila!
