Jdownloads / Content plugin breaks my menu

[avee]

On pages where articles are visible where the content plugin is called, my menus will not drop down on mouseover any more. This disables navigation to part of my site. Same thing on the pages generated by jdownload.

Disabling the content plugin from jdownload configuration doesn't help. Only remedy I found thus far is to deactivate the content plugin via joomla configuration. This doesn't help for the jdownload pages, but it does correct the problem on "blog" type pages where otherwise links to files would be presented by the content plugin.

Hi
This is strange, not happening on my test sites.  Could you PM Arno and me with the site so as it can be investigated.  Which version of jD and Joomla?

Hi.

What for a template have you installed? I am not sure that your problem is really a jDownloads issue.
So i had last months a user with a Yootheme template and menu problems. As solution we had find out that it was a bug in the menu script from the template.

I use pri_simple, which is based on Helix.

Joomla 3.3, JD 3.2.33

This is the menu.php code:

Another thing I noticed, is that while normally, the menu bar stays docked at the top of the screen while scrolling, it now scrolls out of view. So that's another piece of code not working in combination with jdownloads.

And if you look here: https://www.devpri.com/component/jdownloads/summary/10-pri-simple/7-pri-simple-template-only-j3-x It obviously works together with jdownloads. Puzzling.

Here's the menu javascript from the helix framework:

After disabling the lightbox functionality in Jdownloads, my menu works again.

Hi
Could you please update to latest jD as the video and image handling is now supportable in an HTML way.  This has been included to be compatible with phones and tablets which do not support Flash.  It is possible therefore that your template is somehow objecting to the older ways of handling videos and images. Just a thought but it may be a solution.

Overall however this does look template specific. So you do need to send Arno the Super User details by PM if you want us to look further.
