T3 framework - Site structure with Mega Menu - joomla3.0

I have T3 framework on my site (build by unreliable freelancer) and one of requested features was Mega Menu that is included in this framework. I have to use v. 1.2.1 because when I upgrade, I have problems with layout, javascript etc. so let's stay with this old version.
My problem is, that I realized that the site has no structure, all links are in root and that's because Mega Menu uses modules which show separate menus in them. I can fix site structure by moving all separate "sub" menus into main menu and create nice menu tree, I can modify modules to show only portion of menu, but when I do this, I get Mega Menu AND dropdown menu in same dropdown (2 rows, first is unwanted dropdown - classic menu, second row is full of menu modules that should be visible).
Can you please guide me, how to remove dropdown menu? Classic Menu has option to show only 1 level of menu, but I can't find something similar for Mega Menu :(

I've looked better into megamenu configuration in database and fixed the menu by removing unnecessary rows on top of submenus :)
I know that it's easy to edit megamenu in backend, but with 1.2.1 I'm getting error with paths to t3-assets etc. - well, this is fixed in 1.4.3 of course, but when I upgrade to 1.4.3, my menu is flickering (I don't want any slide/fade effects, just stay open while moving between menu items).
I had something like this:
{\"item-103\":{\"sub\":{\"rows\":[[{\"item\":342,\"width\":12}],[{\"position\":108,\"width\":4},{\"position\":107,\"width\":4},{\"position\":109,\"width\":4}]]}
and just removed unnecessary row to make it like this:
{\"item-103\":{\"sub\":{\"rows\":[[{\"position\":108,\"width\":4},{\"position\":107,\"width\":4},{\"position\":109,\"width\":4}]]}
but anyways, thanks for support

Looking for an elegant multi-state (open/close/pin/hover) side drawer react component to recommend for my dev team to reference. I'm UX - whacha got?

Examples I have found show OPEN/PIN and CLOSE (a la side-nav/menu) but nothing that includes a hover or a floating state. Think JIRA side menu, where the left panel overlaps the page contents/backlog table, where youhover and look where you are and then it closes on you....that comes the closest to an example to what I'm looking for.
Example of Jira panel
Only, I'd like to have a 3-click + hover system:
1-click to pin (ie: have page contents responsive 'stick' to the panel)
1-click to float (ie: have page contents scroll behind the floating open panel)
1 click to close.
I'd also like the ability to hover over the closed panel and have it open.
I know I'm asking a lot....
If you find an example, I need to be able to see a working example of react libraries without a dev computer - I'm on a mac. We're building a component library together and I need to see what's out there and available as a source (starting point) so that we can then discuss tweaks and changes for our use.
I love sites like this: https://www.ag-grid.com/react-data-grid/
or this: https://reactjsexample.com/
That provide me with a menu and examples to click though so that I can speak intelligently with my team and have proper visuals and examples.
Anything you find that has this functionality would be great... thank you!

Menu in desktop applications made with Codename One

I would like to be able to add a menu to a desktop application that I have started to develop. I mean a classic application menu, which on Windows is displayed immediately below the title bar (with items like "File", "Edit", "View", etc.), while on MacOS it is displayed in the top bar common to all applications ("App menu"). Ideally each menu item could invoke an ActionListener, just like tapping a Button.
However, I have not found any information about this and I do not even know if it is possible at the moment. Thank you for your suggestions.
This is a feature we plan to add early on in the 8.0 release cycle as we already make some (minimal) use of it in our own apps. Right now the only option is to use the Swing APIs to add the menus using native interfaces.
You can get all the JFrame instances (of which there can be only one) and add any menu to that. If you use the Mac JMenuBar on a typical Codename One build then it will be on top by default since we set this implicitly through: System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", "true");.
You can just add entries to menu bar.

DotNetNuke module position and panes

I have been using DotNetNuke for a couple of weeks but there is one thing I can't figure out. How can I find out which pane a module currently resides in. I have used mostly version 7 but I have tried version 6 too. I can't find this information anywhere.
When a page is in Edit Mode in 7.x there is an option to move a module to a different pane by hovering over the Move Icon. DNN displays a list of panes where the module can be moved when the mouse is over the Move Icon. DNN knows what pane the module is currently in because the current pane is excluded from the list. However, under the Settings for a module there is no property to tell you in which pane the module resides.
This is really important because most skins have LOTS (20+) of different panes. Usually panes are collapsible it is quite hard to tell which pane a module is in based solely on the position of the module on the page. Knowing the current pane of one module is required to get the correct layout when you add new modules.
The only thing that works is to use process of elimination. I can figure out a module's current pane if I can find which pane is NOT in the list of panes where I can move that module. This method is tedious and un-usable if you are trying to work with modules via the Page Management admin screen. Am I missing where to find this property or is not available. If it is not available then is there are better way to position items that I am missing?
Layout Mode should show you the PANE names. If you don't have Pane Names then it is possible that the Skin you are using has hidden the the name of the pane, but why they would do that I don't know.
Here's an Example of one of the Panes in my MultiFunction skin (available on codeplex) when in Layout Mode
TopPane

Silverlight dropdown menu in a html page?

I'm not too familiar with silverlight, so I'm pretty sure I am asking a basic question.
Is it possible to have a silverlight dropdown menu (like superfish, or so-called dhtml menus) in a web page that will ;
not use more space in the page than
the first level
will go over html content when we
expand it.
I guess that Silverlight has to be displayed inside a certain "canvas" like flash, so the silverlight menu has to be either :
as big as the fully expanded menu can
be -- with the possibility to display
html over it (using css?) and make
sure that the expanded items goes on
top of html ==> That seems not really
easy!
as small as the first level of menu
items -- means that silverlight has
to get out of the canvas to display
menu items ==> Is that even possible?
I know that this may sound ridiculous, but the project is to modernize the portal around sql server reporting services using silverlight in a sharepoint webpart. There's no possibility to change the setup, I just want to know if that could be achieved using silverlight. If it can't, we will fall back to superfish.
Thanks!
It is possible. Silverlight plugin should be set to windowless, so its content can overlap with html. Because Silverlight can not draw outside of its own surface you would have to make as large as biggest menu element or you could resize Silverlight container dynamically through javascript bridge.

WP7 help with menu effects

Kinda new to Silverlight and have some experience with WPF but I'm doing a project with a group for a class making a game for WP7. I am currently in charge of the menu system for the game and I had a few ideas for "flashy" menu transitions. I got some going for the main menu but I wanted to do something cool for the options submenu.
Anyway my idea is to either fashion an expander or to have sort of a variation of a dialog box. But the way I envisioned it would be in either case the menu items blur but are still visible while the expanded menu is displayed or while the dialog is active. If I'm being confusing sorry :) but think of Windows 7 glass effect on the menu while other options are available.
What I'm getting at is I want to give this a shot but I have no idea how I would go about doing something like this. Could anyone point me in the right direction or outline some key steps for me to build off?
I tried finding something like this on Google but no such luck.
I would recommend taking a look at the many items available in the Education Catalog over on the AppHub - http://create.msdn.com/en-US/education/catalog/?contenttype=0&devarea=65&platform=54&sort=1
