First, the tale of two CSS menu actions:
Back in the dark ages of Freeway 6, when I built the initial version of Backdraft, the official “CSS Menus” action, built by Softpress and bundled with Freeway, did not work in responsive websites. This was a problem for Backdraft.
So, I contacted Walter Davis, and he built the “Responsive CSS Menu” action. This action was similar to Softpress’ official action, but was responsive and had just a subset of the options of Softpress’ action. The world was well.
Fast-forward to the release of Freeway 7. At this point, Softpress rebuilt their “CSS Menus” action to be responsive. This seemed as though it would make Walter’s action redundant, but they have different functionality at the mobile-device sizes. Softpress’ brings up a full-screen overlay, while Walter’s drops the menu down in place. Hence, Walter’s action is still up on ActionsForge and does get some use.
Now, to today. It sounds like you are using Walter’s “Responsive CSS Menu” action, when you should be using Softpress’ “CSS Menus” action — which would explain why you can’t find the “generate automatically” option. Remove Walter’s action from the HTML item that you are using for you navigation, and apply the “CSS Menus” action instead.
