Show My account links as drop down menu in Header

[Suryakamesh]

Hi,
I'd like to  display as a drop down list when a logged in user hovers above his name in the header

ie. Welcome John Doe.

 

Hovering on John Doe should display all the account links.

How do I do this?
Thanks

Hook the blockmyaccount module to displayNav. Have it hidden by default, assign absolute positioning right below that name. Then use some javascript for the hover state on the name, showing the block itself

I cant hook myaccount to displaynav. Because its not showing when i try to transplant myaccount module to displaynav. 

only displayleft, displayright are available

Like you get an error or is it simply not displaying? In the latter case it might be a simple css issue, or an empty template
If you get the non-transplantable error, you can simply clone an available method and rename it to hookDisplayNav

Hi Nemo!

 

Could you please help on the hover part? ATM I have to click to open the submenu

 

Kind Regards

inspect with firefor and see where the click is triggered from, then change it to a .hover
I cover this debug operation in my new themes crash course too
