Is it possible to get suckerfish to display in the nav-bar style?
I notice both the default and classic navigation are different menu and sf.menu. Menu seems to be the steps to achieve this but it doesnt work.

don't understand your question. thematic already uses superfish

Yes, Thematic uses suckerfish. How can one achieve the styling as shown from the link above? Rather then have child links displayed vertically, how can I change the codes to have it look like sample 4 nav-bar style?

I'm saying, its possible the classic template navigation was built to do so, however it doesn't seem to work. I tried including the additional css from the site but it doesn't make much difference - still in vertical view.

[side note] I notice a section with the same issue, I tried their code and it doesnt work either.

found example 4

you need to use their stylesheet

http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/css/superfish-navbar.css

AND according to the stylesheet you also need to add the class sf-navbar in addition to sf-menu

Thank you Helga! Seems to me that I haven't noticed sf-navbar to be added to sf-menu class (using child theme)

Am I missing something? The sub links only seem to show up when hovering over the parent link. Would the code below allow it to work?

( $(document).ready(function(){
$("ul.sf-menu").superfish({
pathClass: 'current'
});
}); )

Has anyone figured how to allow the sub links to be displayed once the current parent page is selected?

sf-navbar ISN'T added to the menu by default. you'll need to filter the menu arguments.

something like this ought to do that:
```
// change the default arguments for wp_page_menu()
function child_nav_menu_args($args) {
	$args['menu_class'] = 'sf-menu sf-navbar';
	return $args;
}
add_filter('thematic_nav_menu_args','child_nav_menu_args');
```
whether that makes the whole thing work like you're hoping, i couldn't say.

I did included sf-navbar and while it did give the appearance of said link, It did not display as the site showed. As i've mentioned above

$(document).ready(function(){
$("ul.sf-menu").superfish({
pathClass: 'current'
});
});

could be whats required. How can I achieve this?
