I am trying to create a megamenu for our website at great-news.ca We publish 61 newsletter and service 110 communities in our city. This means.... a LOT OF ITEMS...which need to be organized as cleanly as possible.
I am not sure if I know how to describe what I want ... but here we go:
I need to create a nav menu, that lists the main categories on top, with a vertical dropdown menu, which can list all of its sub item lists with in a large container as a flyout option...
IE for the newsletter section:
Navbar
NEWSLETTERS » COMMUNITIES » SERVICES » ABOUT
SE Newsletter
SW Newsletter
NE Newsletter
submenu} NW Newsletter » COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3 COLUMN 4
» COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3 COLUMN 4
» COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3 COLUMN 4
» COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3 COLUMN 4
» COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3 COLUMN 4
...............................li item.....> » COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3 COLUMN 4
*not sure if this will display properly
Here is list a of examples that combine both elements.
godaddy com/ (under the products tab)
callawaygolf com (golf equiment/golf clubs)
They do exactly what I want....
Note that I don't want to have all of the newsletter items inside a big container box... but instead I want a vertical dropdown menu that has a flyout container box with the specific items for that category.
so even though starbucks com and www.microsoft com are great examples for megamenus, is NOT WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE.... I REALLY DON'T want a huge container where all the the category and subitems are mixed, but instead they are neatly organized and hidden,, ready to be called out of the dropdown menu items.
I am currently using wordpress 3.7 to build the site, and did purchase a plug-in called ubermenu, http://wpmegamenu.com/, that does something similar to the starbucks and microsoft sites... but its not what i want,
Any help?
