YahooTreeMenuWithAJAX for Zen-Cart v 1.3.x v0.3a.1 Tested under Zen-Cart v 1.3.0.2 What is the use of this module? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Informations below are from the archive of Zen Cart support forum: Subject: Yahootreemenuwithajax Link: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31384 And an anther follow up discussions: Subject: Yahootreemenu with ajax Link: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36268 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This module is function as Categories Menu sidebox for use in storefront. The main functions of this module are: It dynamically loads and caches the subcategories without page reload every time. This based on AJAX and the Yahoo! User Interface Library. It uses optimized algorithm to build the categories tree and count the products in the categories. So this mean less SQL calls for the display of Category Menu. Only 2 queries (and +1 little) used to build the categories tree. After that, the categories menu represented by a dual linked tree. And it does not depended on the trees depth. By using AJAX it dynamically (on demand) populate categories tree and caching it on the user side. This menu also has a noscript version. ------------------------------------------- About this update: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why this update? Under ZC v1.3.x, the YahooTreeMenuWithAJAX for Zen-Cart v 1.2.7 v0.3a can be used with the classic template. However, it have problems if used with template_default based templates, especially under IE in my case. This updated the YahooTreeMenuWithAJAX for Zen-Cart v 1.2.7 v0.3a to more compatible with Zen-Cart v 1.3.x and its templates. It use more override of Zen Cart and with minor codes changed mainly for the HTML validation. |

Unzip the package, retaining the folder structure. 2. Go to Admin-_Tools-_Layout Boxes Controller and enable the new "yahootreemenu" sidebox. Whats new? ---------------------------- 1. Fixed some issues. 2. /categories.php renamed to /load_branch.php 3. Extended options set in the /includes/extra_datafiles/yahootreemenu.php file: // Set this option in true if you don't want to show the categories which has no products. define('YAHOOTREEMENU_SKIP_EMPTY', true); // Can multiple children(subcategories) be expanded at once? define('YAHOOTREEMENU_MULTI_EXPAND', true); // Do you want the categories names has the link? define('YAHOOTREEMENU_SHOW_CATEGORY_LINK', false); // Do you want tou use this menu without AJAX. // This may be usefull for the websites with a little number of the categories define('YAHOOTREEMENU_WITHOUT_AJAX', false); So, you can use this menu with or without AJAX now. 4. This version is compatible with Zen-Cart v1.3.6 What will be implemented in the next version? --------------------------------- 1. The method to also display product links in the uncollapsed sub category menus. (Thanks Woodymon for the idea). Andrew Yermakov [email protected] |
