Because Joomla menu adds an id only for the current menu item, this is the hack to add an id for all menu items:<\/p>\n


\nFor legacy vertical type of menu<\/strong> go to www.yoursite.com\/modules\/mod_mainmenu\/legacy.php<\/p>\n

On line 75 there is:
\n
\n} else {
\n$id = '' ;
\n}
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Just add this insted:
\n
\n} else {
\n$id = 'id=\"menu_item' . $mitem->id . '\"' ;
\n}<\/code><\/p>\n

This will add an unique id to the li tag.<\/p>\n

For the default list menu<\/strong> go to www.youriste.com\/modules\/mod_mainmenu\/tmpl\/default.php<\/p>\n

On line 72 there is this code:
\n
\n} else {
\n$node->removeAttribute('id');
\n}
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Change it to this:
\n
\n} else {<\/code><\/p>\n

}<\/p>\n

This will add an unique id to the li tag.<\/p>\n

Also go to www.yoursite.com\/modules\/mod_mainmenu\/helper.php and find the following code on line 358:<\/p>\n

switch ($tmp->browserNav)
\n{
\ndefault:
\ncase 0:
\n\/\/ _top
\n$data = ‘<a href=”‘.$tmp->url.'”>’.$image.$tmp->name.'<\/a>’;
\nbreak;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Change it to:<\/p>\n

switch ($tmp->browserNav)
\n{
\ndefault:
\ncase 0:
\n\/\/ _top
\n$data = ‘<a href=”‘.$tmp->url.'” id=”menu_item’.$tmp->id.'”>’.$image.$tmp->name.'<\/a>’;
\nbreak;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This will add an unique id to the a tag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
