Hi Guys,

We are developing a website using DNN_Platform_8.0.3.

The DNN skin for the MainMenu (dropdown menu) that we are using now is Xcillion as per shown at the screenshot below:

However, we are trying to develop a Mega Menu that can show more information as the screenshot below:

To archive the above, appreciate that if can show us the correct way to edit or modify the token script of the MainMenu.txt so that the result can be shown like the above. 

Thank you.

Below is the token script from \Portals\_default\Skins\Xcillion\Menus\MainMenu\MainMenu.txt 

==

<div id="dnnMenu">

<ul class="nav navbar-nav topLevel">

[*>NODE-TOP]

</ul>

</div>

    [>NODE-TOP]

        <li class="[?NODE]dropdown [/?][?SELECTED]active[/?]">

        [?ENABLED]

            <a href="[=URL]" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" ><span>[=TEXT]</span> [?NODE]<span class="caret"></span>[/?]</a>

        [?ELSE]

            <a href="#"><span>[=TEXT]</span> [?NODE]<span class="caret"></span>[/?]</a>

        [/?]

        [?NODE]

            <ul class="dropdown-menu subLevel">

            [*>NODE]

            </ul>

        [/?]

        </li>

    [/>]

[>NODE]

        <li class="[?NODE]dropdown [/?][?SELECTED]active[/?]">

        [?ENABLED]

            <a href="[=URL]"><span>[=TEXT]</span> [?NODE]<span class="caret"></span>[/?]</a>

        [?ELSE]

            <a href="#"><span>[=TEXT]</span> [?NODE]<span class="caret"></span>[/?]</a>

        [/?]

        [?NODE]

            <ul class="dropdown-menu subLevelRight">

            [*>NODE]

            </ul>

        [/?]

        </li>

    [/>]

Thank you,

Looks nice! Would you care to share your solution?

You might be better off using a Razor script template for the menu. Presumably you'll need to execute some code to add the content.

You didn't specify the source for the "content" you plan to display in the mega-menu. Knowing that, and how it will change based on how you mouse on the menu would have a major impact on a better answer.

Another approach would be to use an empty div in the menu structure, and use jquery to fill it in. I worked on one site that pulled content from an HTML module that was hidden on the page and added to a div in the menu. Not a great solution, but it worked. (it wasn't my design ...)
