You don’t need a ‘plugin’ as such to do a drop-down menu, it can be done simply with CSS like the example here

No i want to have a manageable menu option trough administration, like in Joomla we can easily add/remove menus and link to some article, etc…

Have you had a look at adi_menu yet? It’s no craaay-zy “Show anything anywhere” tool but you can exclude certain sections, reorder them, display them hierarchic at will, rename them, redirect them … all solely from the admin side, and comes with some tags to finetune its output code.

And you can include articles for selected sections in the menus too.

Very good question.
I am trying to solve it through Links in admin panel to create mixed (with sections, categories, articles, external links and whatever) menu.

I am using the following code:

<txp:linklist break="li" category="menu" form="Links" label="" limit="10" sort="date asc">
 <li>
  <txp:link />
     <txp:linklist category='<txp:link_id />' wraptag="ul">
         <txp:link />
     </txp:linklist>
 </li>
</txp:linklist>

In the drop-down menu with parent and sub- menus, I use Link categories. ID of parent link category (top menu) should be a name of a child link category (<txp:link_id />). Also one can use etc_link_helper plugin to help to generate article, category or section links for the menu.

Example http://law.vpohod.info/

I am not fully satisfied with naming child link cats with parent IDs though, because some clients do not understand quickly how to create the sub menu links. But it works without plugins.

Hi Admi,
thank you for help. but now i don’t have home (default) link and also no option for active page to assign active class style …
what to do ??

You can create home / default link. You mean home page?
As for the active class, that’s the second stage to meditate on. I am trying to fugure out that myself.

If you need active class so bad, then you can connect your menu with list of section (categories) and articles. This example shows menu – sections and its articles in dropdown menu like here:

<txp:section_list default_title="Home" active_class="active" break="" class="" exclude="sitemap" sections="about, pics, uslugi, katalog,   zapros, articles" include_default="0">
       <li class="<txp:if_last_section>end</txp:if_last_section>"><a href="<txp:site_url /><txp:section />" class="<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'>active</txp:if_section_name>"><txp:section title="1" /></a>
        <ul class="sub-menu"><txp:article_custom topmenu="yes" status="live" section='<txp:section />' >
          <li class="menu-item"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>
     </txp:article_custom>
        </ul>
       </li>
      </txp:section_list>
