Hallo,
Under PrtSc from the promotional video of the overlay menu.
So it is possible to create the menu.just by clicking on menu
Many attempts, unfortunately no result, see below.
What am I doing wrong???

Ik kan beter je project niet wegdoen he? Had alles alweer verwijderd....Gelukkig zat hij nog in de prullenbak maar.....
Sorry Ruud, i don't have enough credits anymore and i don t own the overlay menu. So i can't test for you at the moment.
Can it be that it only works online? Just try that, else you need to wait for someone that knows better or can try out for you.

I own the (optional) Overlay Menu. It works exactly as advertised, but the path to your menu must be absolute. When preparing (testing) a website, and before pointing the hosted domain I found the overlay menu did not work (eg www.reelobsession.com.au was actually www,.esahc.com/reelobsession.com.au) because I told WX5 the domain was www.reelobsession.com.au. To test I had to tell it the truth (www.esahc.com/reelobsesion.com.au) otherwise the menu failed.
I think the coding of the optional overlay menu is a bit sloppy. It should work with relative menu rather than absolute address.
(if this answer does not make sense, please advise so I can explain my answer but provide your domain name and the actual address (location) of your website)

Thanks for your reply.
Indeed cannot quite understand the answer.
My website ishttps://maltaguide.pro/ (uploaded with overlay menu).
To see what is in the website you can go tohttps://maltaguide.pro/menu.html this self-assembled menu doesn't really work, so I can't use it.
The standard menu of X5, in combination with my website, gives the comment from google "not mobile friendly".
So I am looking for an alternative for the menu.
Thank you
Ruud, my apologies for the confusing answer, in step 5 the web address should look like this (ie the domain name)
The only other reasons I can think of that would cause the levels would not be visible is if you have marked them as hidden or if the levels are not linked anywhere (only levels assigned to an action will be visible)
For each level you need to go to properties
Then link to the page you wish to open, in this example level a will link to hidden page 2

Hello,
Thank you for your clear and concise explanation, great!
The themes can now indeed be seen.
Even after uploading, the underlying pages are unfortunately not visible.
Thank you,Ruud

I think incomedia needs to update this object, you should not manualy need to replace menu items.
I made a new menu item, copy all the below pages and level to new menu item and i keep seeing less and less menu items.
Maybe i dont understand the workaround?
i get this with overlay in the menu of 2 smallest viewports:
so the level menu's are gone.
What exactly is the workaround?
test here:

... hello, sorry, maybe I didn't understand, and you just in case ignore my message, ... but I think I see the regular hamburger menu:

@KolAsim
Try to narrow the screen - then it is not the "normal" menu, but the one Andre reports
Kolasim, it is set on the lowest 2 viewports, above that is normal menu. this way you can also see the difference.
Hi. Level menus are not displayed in the Overlay Menu. The behavior is correct. It is also written in the item info on the Marketplace.
... ... thank you, sorry, I had not imagined it, and then I saw and understood ....
... so it might be because layers are excluded for that type of object ...
ciao

levels, not layers...but...https://youtu.be/0qmQZ6O4kwk
Fabio, credo che se inserisci il collegamento sul Livello, allora il Livello te lo fa vedere nel Menù Overlay e al click vai sulla pagina collegata ma non ti fa vedere tutte le altre pagine all'interno di quel livello se ci sono più pagine.
Sì funziona
Ah tu vuoi dire con la funzione hover sulla voce del menù? ok allora no
Infatti. Se hai un livello con delle pagine al suo interno, quel livello non sarà visibile e né tantomeno le pagine al suo interno. Purtroppo funziona cosí quell'oggetto.

Hai ragione, a te funziona ma io non ci riesco proprio
Fabio,
As you can see in my example it does not work, and that's a brand new test project from latest version.
Also in used project it does not work for me in latest pro version.
The overlay menu has nu use if it does not support levels.
It looks like if you use the menu item as a seperator to make your menu more compact and create usefull parts/chapters for your website then it does not shop up, only if you fill in some function then it shows up, but i dont want a function, i just want to make chapters on my website so that customer can browse more easily and faster to correct page.
It says in the market place this:
Overlay Menu
Create a Hamburger Menu including the items in the first level. Once opened, the menu overlays all the available space on the page.
I think a level menu is an item....
Purtroppo la questione è stata affrontata con Incomedia molte volte ma la stessa Incomedia ha spiegato che il menù Overlay funziona SOLO con le voci di primo livello e non con i Livelli che contengono dei submenù al loro interno.
Però Fabio pare ci sia riuscito, il video è molto chiaro. Io non ci sono riuscito. Non saprei...
Attendiamo una risposta ufficiale da Incomedia
GOOGLE TRANSLATE:
Unfortunately, the question has been addressed with Incomedia many times but Incomedia itself explained that the Overlay menu works ONLY with the first level items and not with the Levels that contain submenus inside them.
But Fabio seems to have succeeded, the video is very clear. I have not succeeded. I do not know...
We await an official response from Incomedia
If you set an property in the level menu (like a link) then it shows up.
But this is also strange behavior, if you take wordpress it just shows everything like a menu should, what is a menu worth if it does not display all menu items? or sometimes level and sometimes not?
this is a menu item so it should work like the original menu, i use it to make it more clear for smaller viewports but if the menu itself is different from the original then imho the object useless.
But let's wait for Incomedia, i will set this post for them to react.
google transate:
Se imposti una proprietà nel menu del livello (come un collegamento), viene visualizzata.Ma questo è anche un comportamento strano, se prendi wordpress mostra tutto come dovrebbe un menu, quanto vale un menu se non mostra tutte le voci di menu? oa volte di livello ea volte no?
questa è una voce di menu quindi dovrebbe funzionare come il menu originale, lo uso per renderlo più chiaro per le finestre più piccole, ma se il menu stesso è diverso dall'originale, allora l'oggetto è inutile.
Ma aspettiamo Incomedia, imposterò questo post perché reagiscano.
Yes Andre, I know that if you set a link on the Level menu then it is displayed in the Overlay Menu, but if there are many items in the Level Menu, they are not displayed.
yes i have seen that also, imho it should exactly like the normal menu, i want to use it for moble views onlo so i have 2 highest viewports normal menu and 2 lowest viewports overlay, but if it does not is the same then it makes no use having it, it is a shame because it displays way better with overlay on smaller screens. Google likes this also much better. :) lets wait and see......
... ... could be useful with Single Page Anchors...... ciao

Yes Kol, maybe, but then the normal menu will do as well.
It's especialy the jumping and going from 1 sub page to another what makes the normal menu for smart phone (test is also better with smartphone then with pc on small screen) work very confusing for visitors (i got multiple complaints / remarks), the overlay would be much better for this.
Ciao
... OK ... ;-)
