How can I change tpl_drop_menu.php to only show those 4 top categories?

Thanks

Hmmmmm...........not sure, Clyde. As the menu uses the url_generator.php to generate the categories, then all the top Cats will be displayed. I guess...........a person could include an 'if' statement to hide one category, but I'm not sure exactly how it would be coded.
Oh.............forget about the "Hide Categories" mod, too. It doesn't work with this menu. Just though I'd let you know that, to maybe save a headache.

I'll do some checking, though, and see what I can get done.

Worked it out.

I just added an additional element to the where clause of the select statement. The highlight would be the category id you want to hide in the menu.
and c.categories_id != 80

Glad to hear you got it.

And FYI.. something similar to this would allow the hideCategories module to work with this menu as well..:smile:

and before anyone asks.. No... off the top of my head, I do not know the SPECIFIC code required to use this menu with hideCategories. However, I do know that adding the right condition to the where clause would/should be the solution to allow hideCategories to work with this menu (I used this very thing for the older version of this mod)..:smile:

Hi,

I've searched the forum and can't seem to find an answer to my problem. I have a slideshow on my home page. It works fine, but the dropdown categories are being obscured by the slideshow images. I have the following in my "define_main_page.php" file. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

gmc,

What, the menu drops down behind the slider images, right? If you'll look in your includes/templates/your_template/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css for any entries of "z-index: 1000" and change the number to a higher value than 1000, that should do the trick.
But, of course, if you had a url, and we could SEE the site, we could help you with a more EXACT solution..........:)

thankq jettrue for your contribution and support.
