Horizontal menus

    Horizontal menus

    Current behavior:
    Existing Wild Apricot templates all use a 'vertical' menu - placed on the left side of the web page.
    We are getting more and more requests for 'horizontal' menus - the ones which are stretched at the top of your webpage below the header.

    Workaround:
    Several brave souls have attempted to implement horizontal menu on their own using CSS Customization - and were able to achieve a pretty decent look for the public/member view of the website. However, they all have faced a big hurdle in maintaining the administrator functionality for the menu - viewing the full page tree, renaming and moving the pages.
    We have a workaround described on our help site, but it has a number of limitations
    See http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Horizontal+menu

    Desired behavior:
    A way to provide a proper horizontal menu with dynamically dropping down submenu.

    Notes:
    To properly implement horizontal menu we need to address two big things:
    1) Enable 'dynamic' submenu - the one which drops down on mouse over (vs. our current implementation when you have to click on the page to load it and see its children pages)
    2) Change the administration backend functionality for renaming and moving pages. Our current thinking is to separate it from page editing into a separate screen.
