I'm new using ghost, it's possible create this using ghost?
If you are asking if there is an easy way to create a dropdown menu from the ghost backend i am afraid there is none.
You can find a navigation.hbs in the standard theme (Casper) partials folder that you could style as you wish.
Or you can search for a theme that has dropdowns implemented.

How is it possible to select an additional layout in a custom module?
I created a second layout in /modules/custom_module/tmpl/default2, but I cannot select this layout. At advanced settings 'alternative layout' it is only possible to select default.
Thanks a lot. I found the problem. When the layout is called with an _ it is not possible to see the layouts in modules alternative layout. This means layout-new will be found and layout_new won't be found. This is also true by Joomla's core modules. I dont know why, iam using Joomla 3.3.3?!
Alternative layouts are search for in your template. If you want to have two layout options in the module itself you would need to do something similar to the login module where the sublayouts are called. This would probably be a good topic for http://joomla.stackexchange.com.
I'm trying to add a image carousel to my CMS site and in the process learn about Alternatives.
I've go the following content types
BannerImage (TextField and a MediaPicker field)
ImageGallery (Container)
I've created a bunch of images, added them as 'Containables' to a new ImageGallery and
I then create a widget, put it in BeforeContent and it renders as an ugly list (default rendering)
I have been able to customize the images by using the alternative Content-BannerImage.Summary.cshtml, sweet.. so far so good.
BUT I'm not able to customize the rendering of the ImageGallery at all. The alternative
Content-ImageGallery.Summary.cshtml or .Detail or even Widget-Container.cshtml do not work at all.
The alternative that IS being used is Widget.Wrapper.cshtml which came with the theme I'm using. I'm not able to find the correct alternative so I can prevent the ImageGallery from rendering it's name/title (which it does by default from the Widget.Wrapper.cshtml alternative.
Any help is greatly appreciated and before it's mentioned... I've read http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Accessing-and-rendering-shapes which is a great doco, but I'm too dumb to figure it out :)

To create an alternate (not alternative) for a widget, you first have to activate the Widget Alternates module.
Once you have done so, create your widget, and activate the Shape Tracing module. Go to the page where the widget appears, click on the shape tracing button on the bottom right corner to show the shape tracing and select your widget.
You should now see a list of possible alternates for your widget. Select one and click the link to create it. Now you just have to edit it to your taste.
Depending on how the image gallery module you're using is working, the shape that you need to override to render the list of images. It is probably the List shape that you need to change. This article should give you a good starting point: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2011/03/27/taking-over-list-rendering-in-orchard.aspx
in the documentation site of drupal:
http://drupal.org/node/774892
It shows an example of how to create a menu using taxonomies. Basically we must add a link to an url like taxonomy/term/{termID}/all . But it says it can not work with drupal 7. is there any other way to make that menu from a hierarchical taxonomy?
Thank you
Yes there is a module Taxonomu menu. You can generate menu for any vocabylary.
Transform any of your taxonomy vocabularies into existing menus
easily!
P.S. I use 7.x-1.x-dev release instead of recommended. There are more options
You can use Taxonomy menu module for the same.
In the source code for a master page, there is a section that has the following ASP.NET item: . This contains the "Welcome (User Name)" and Site Actions menus.
How do I create an additional menu that is similar to the look and feel of the Welcome menu? I've tried to create Front End HTML that behaves similar to the out of the box SharePoint menus, but it isn't quite right. I would prefer to utilize an ASP.NET or SharePoint control that acts similar to the SharePoint menu if that is possible.
For example, is <SharePoint:AspMenu> the appropriate control to use?
Thanks,
Robert
i am sure you will get better answer than this but just wanted to point what i have done to do this
i have added javascript library (JQuery) (for some other reason ) and when time come to do this thing i just added a JQuery code that creates another item in the navigation list with appropriate style and css class with the needed link and caption.
You could try another instance of the PersonalActions control with a custom GroupId. But when the control is rendered, it might also say "Welcome, [User]" just like the original.
I try to figure out what's the best strategy to manage a menu in Asp.Net and highlight the "active" menu-item.
That's have to be done in the MasterPage but it's the Page that know what menu-item to highlight.
I have found that implementing a custom SQL Site Map Provider combined with impementing a fully custom menu component, one just need to render the menu html depending on the application/design etc. For intance I have just recently implemented the jQuery Superfish Menu using our Menu component.
jQuery is great for searching and selecting particular classes/elements and applying styles/classes as required.
