Dropdown menus not working
#5
What needs to be in place to have dropdown menus working in Innovation, Cardinal, and Bootstrap3 (as well as others)?

One of the great things about GS is that you can have all kinds of menus, any you can think of, but it requres the excellent I18N plugin and a little care. There is a simple summary at http://get-simple.info/wiki/multi-level_navigation. There are detailed instructions at http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/get-simple/mul...navigation

Typically for say 3 levels of drop-down/fly-out you need:
  1. Pages marked for inclusion in the menu and placed in the child-parent heirarchy
  2. I18N plugin to generate nested lists of menu links
  3. A template with the navigation links inserted by something like 
    <div class="sitemenu">
          <ul><?php get_i18n_navigation(return_page_slug(),0,2,I18N_SHOW_MENU); ?></ul>
    </div>
  4. CSS in a theme which will display the nested lists as drop-down/fly-out blocks on hover
  5. Very few themes work on CSS alone, so normally jquery or something needs to be included in the right place in the page
Innovation and Cardinal don't have CSS to display other than a simple list of links for navigation.
