AUI Dropdown Submenu as Custom HTML?

Question

Hello, My company would like to add a submenu between the spaces and create space menu/button in the top nav bar. I tried out just adding the aui sub menu code to the custom html section but when viewing it placed the button above the nav bar instead of on the nav bar

I realised it requires some javascript which I also tried but couldn't get past the initial but Can anyone steer me in the right direction for achieving this? Thanks

Thanks we already use this for our regular menus. We are looking to do the same in the blue nav bar where the create button is.

I will assume you have administrator access/rights. Go to the admin section, and look for Layout tab. You can edit the various templates that format Confluence. Look for View Default Decorator - main.vmd

You will notice that these layouts are written using Velocity (at last still in Version 6.x). If you don't find the eact location, it should point to the velocity macro that you need, and then you will have to hunt around in the file system to find the approriate macro.

I would strongly recommend setting up a dev server to try this out before working on the production server. ;-)
