Re: CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!
As I said, you won't find that code verbatim, because it is composed from bits by the PHP file. You need to look for distinct segments of the code... perhaps <li><a class="noLine"

There's no need necessarily to test the URI mod..
Actually, according to Conor, the mod writer from CEON, it's designed explicitely to not work in a sub-directory without major configuration. He was quite explicit that if we want to use it for a testing site that we should absolutely create a sub-domain. It was indeed the fact that I have used a subdirectory instead of a subdomain that was the problem. He insinuated that if I used the subdomain, it would have worked just fine. (Easier to just turn it off than start over at this point).
And as you said, there is not need to test the URI mod, I already know that it works. :)
You guys (and gals) who know what you're doing around here, deserve major kudos, regularly, for the help you provide to us noobs. It is absolutely invaluable and I'm sure you don't get thanked or appreciated anywhere near enough.
So... thank you.

Again, like I stated in my last post.. you have misunderstood what Conor stated.. What Conor was EXPLICIT about is that you should not be using a sub-directory inside your LIVE store to create a TEST SITE (and he's right).. You should create test sites using subdomains, this way the code will transfer over quite easily to your live site, and you are less likely to run into issues..
Because you created a development version of your LIVE site inside a sub-directory of your LIVE site THIS is what was being frowned upon..
You certainly can create a store inside a sub directory if the main site is in the root (for example a static HTML main site with the store is in a sub-directory or a WordPress main site with a store in a sub-directory). This is a different configuration than what you did. (creating a Zen Cart store within a sub-directory of a Zen Cart store) I'll be happy to show you an example of a store in a subdirectory using Conor's mod which DID NOT require any "major configuration".. The mod assists you in creating the correct store settings to support this..
Since you do not necessarily need to test the URI mod in your testing, turning it off solved your problem. Going forward when you want to upgrade your store, you should create your parallel store in a subdomain. This way it will act and behave like a top level domain without the conflicts you ran into.

Well I thank you for the input. You're not the first person to say so, actually Conor was.
Frankly, it would have been useful information to have PRIOR to doing this, but whatever. It's almost done now and it't temporary.
You know I speak several languages, but this PHP one I do not speak well at all. I can only follow instructions and hope to get help from folks like you.
Getting berated for doing something the wrong way when I ask for help, especially when as you say it's not really WRONG, just "unprofessional" is really not helpful.
I'm horribly sorry that I created a subdirectory. I'm even sorrier that I am in the position of having to ask for help in here, but maybe I wouldn't be in this position if the LAST guy that created my website hadn't broken your module.
Fwiw, I just hired someone to fix what I hope is the final muck and once I have my translations back there won't be any more "subdirectory" holding my cart.
Would you like a copy of that fix?
Re: CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!
**sigh**
Here's the thing.. You are over-reacting to what I said.. I was NOT berating you..:no: If you assumed this, then honestly that's on you if that's what you walked away from our exchange with..
For my part I was simply interested in making sure that accurate information is communicated.. I know that other people read these forum threads and I didn't want anyone walking away with the impression that they cannot install Zen Cart into a sub-directory if they are using the Ceon URI module, because I know that this is not completely true.. 'tis all.. What IS true is that you cannot install Zen Cart into a sub-directory of a Zen Cart site as certain modules will not perform correctly if you do this. (as you discovered)
That said, you are free to decide I meant all kinds of things by my posts, and you are free to walk away thinking I berated you.. I know that wasn't my intent.. **shrugs**

Re: CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!
How can I add an EZpage to the tpl_drop-menu.php
How do I create a new top level drop?
thanks
