Here's a link to the answers of the most FAQ about the Custom Menu
Indira,
That would involve changing the css for the custommenu, and the specifics of that will vary slighlty with what theme you are using.
I would suggest using firebug for firefox (or a similar tool in another browser) to identify the rule needed - alternatively the CSS tool plugin by Sam the Martin has posted in another thread in the forum.

Hi Indira,
When you say you can't find themes/blocks/course that you uploaded to your site with FTP.
Where are you looking?
Each item you upload should be placed in the correct folder...for example:
new themes FTPd to site should be in this directory -> moodle/themes/...
new blocks FTPd to site should be in this directory -> moodle/blocks/...
new course formats FTPd to site should be in this directory -> moodle/course/format...
I hope this helps?

Hi Indira,
If you have the latest version of Afterburner theme (Moodle 2.2) which has the Custom CSS Settings page, you could try adding the following CSS into that section...and SAVE settings.
ul.dropdown {
font-weight: bold;
}
Then go to Site Administration > Development > Purge all caches
then after this, just refresh your browser window and you should then see the change in the menu titles.

Hi Mary,
Menu items open in the same window. I want my Moodle users view the items in a new window. Any tips for that!
Indira
Hi Indira,
It is not possible now to do this, however it is not generally recommended to do that anyway. The way browsers work is that the choice is left to the user as they can, with a right-click, open the link in a new tab or in the same window. They can also set every link to open in a new tab or in same window.

Hi,
I understand about the Menu, but what do you mean about 'fix the wrapper?' Or do you mean fix to the wrapper?
You could try this in default.php
First remove the custommenu code from its current position, which is just below the header...
<!-- END OF HEADER -->
<!-- START CUSTOMMENU AND NAVBAR -->
<div id="navcontainer">
<?php if ($hascustommenu) { ?>
<div id="custommenu" class="javascript-disabled"><?php echo $custommenu; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
And then add it between page-wrapper and page like so...
<div id="page-wrapper">
<div id="navcontainer">
<?php if ($hascustommenu) { ?>
<div id="custommenu" class="javascript-disabled"><?php echo $custommenu; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<div id="page">
Cheers
Mary
Something like that should work, but the custommenu is not an easy thing to tame!
Which part of the menu do you want to highlight exactly? Is it the menu item in the menu bar itself? Because from memory it does change color, doesn't it?
If you could post an image displaying the part of the menu you would like to see changed then I will try to get the code you want.
Alternatively try this to see if the links change color...or do what you want them to?
ul.dropdown li:hover { background-color: red; color: white;}
ul.dropdown li:active { background-color: blue; color: white;}
ul.dropdown li:focus { background-color: green; color: white;}
You can add this to the Afterburner setting page Custom CSS box
Site Administration > Appearance > Themes >Afterburner
You will also need to enable Theme Designer Mode in...
Site Administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme settings
Let me know how you get on?

Hi Kamila,
I was working on this last night and realised, a little bit too late, what it is you were actually asking.
To get a menu to stay active on the page it links to requires that page to have a tag in the menu which says 'selected' or something similar, and have the CSS style it.
In a normal website you would add the menu to each page, and code it accordingly. In Moodle this is not practical, so inshort it is not achivable.
I am not saying it cannot be done, as it probably can with a lot of extra coding.
Mary
Exactly. So I am looking for a way to inform the system that at this moment a page with certain id is active and the it should trigger the 'active' class for that 'li:a or li.a' css item. The problem is that my php as well as the entire moodle structure is still limited and I am not sure how to acomplish the above.
