How to load a joomla module in jquery dropdown panel

Question

I want to load my top-menu in a dropdown panel. I used this "jquery dropdown plugin" and it just works great for a html static content. But I'm going to load a joomla position in this panel so it may show a module in the dropdown panel. How can I do this?

Note : please see the plugin page before any new suggestion.

Best regards and thanks

Answer 1

Off the top of my head, and using joomla 1.5

Go to module manager and make a copy of say, Main Menu

Assign that module copy to a unused position like menu_dropdown

Assign that module copy to appear in all pages

Create a new article which only content is {load_position menu_dropdown}
You should have enabled the Content - Load Module plugin

Now find the article url, example index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=26 and add &tmpl=component at the end.

So that url looks like index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=26&tmpl=component
this url should be the first parameter to jkpanel.init

NOTE

You should be careful that the article doesn't show up normally, maybe by archiving it.
