Hello,
The customer I am working for has purchased the Milonic Menu system. I need to implement this menu system into my existing Exponential template.
The customer would like this horizontal dropdown menu before the pre-existing Exponential menubar.
How do I do this?
Thanks

If you hard coded the menu layout into the menu_data.js file it would just be a matter of having the 3 .js files loaded in the right order. You could just add the lines to the pagelayout.tpl template as you would a static HTML site.
Of course, you wouldn't be able to alter the menu through the eZ interface.
To do that you would probably have to move all the content from menu_data.js into an ez template and generate the menu creation parts through foreach loops similar to what goes on in the flat_top/left.tpl templates of the Exponential menubar.

Thank you for answering.
Where do I find this js file?

You should get it (full of example data) from Milonic along with two others that do the work. You would need to upload them into the right part of your design folder eg: extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/javascript/
