How to change the color of a specific menu item in Joomla

I don’t seem to run across many Joomla websites with different color menu items. I thought this would be a nice chalenge to figure out how to do it. As it turn out it was actually pretty simple with the extended menu module.

Once you get the module downloaded and installed you need to add some css to to your menus. I will assume that you already have the menus setup and working. Now to add a little css to diferentiate between the different menu items.

  1. #menulink_1-suckerfish-horizontal, a.mainlevel-suckerfish-horizontal
  2. {
  3. background-color: transparent;
  4. background-image: url(../images/first-tab-bg.gif);
  5. background-repeat: no-repeat;
  6. background-attachment: scroll;
  7. background-x-position: left;
  8. background-y-position: top;
  9. }

Also you are going to need to make a change to your menu.ini to add the element_id. It should look something like

  1. active_menu_class=1
  2. class_sfx=-suckerfish-horizontal
  3. expand_menu=1
  4. element_id=1

I don’t currently have an example of the different menu colors, but I do have an example of a different menu shape at rcnovice. If you notice the home menu item has a small curve on the leading edge.

Information

This is an experimental menu to see if it could be done. If you
don’t like bloated code then move on to another page, if you don’t mind
extra tags to achieve the menu above then stay and play.

As with the previous menu this one has the ability to click any of the tabs and reload the page with that tab shown selected.

The area of each tab is bounded by the white border and hover will
only work within this border (including the 45 degree slope and any
overlap). The width of each tab is variable depending on the link text.

This has been tested in IE6, IE7, Firefox and Opera, it should also work in Safari.

The following images are used in this menu, but it will work as a
flat menu with no images used at all (try disabling images in your
browser to see that this will still work correctly)

Images can be found HERE
