RokNavMenu Exporter 1.1 For Joomla 2.5x Released

Few days ago, a new version of RokNavMenu is released, i.e. RokNavMenu 1.1. This latest version features inbuilt theme such as fusion, a complex dropdown menu system with option JavaScript modes and URL extension capabilities.

Powerful core menu component roknavmenu is a powerful menu module which provides functions above and beyond the capabilities of the core Joomla menu. It provides a feature rich platform for extending the menu, allowing for override and plugins for the menu itself, in addition to versatile theming capabilities and so much more.

The best thing I like about this extension is that it is now available for Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.7
