Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

Hi guys!

This is the support thread for the Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Contribution.

This will add a sidebox that has a Select Menu with your Categories and Subcategories. You can see it in action here:

http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com/i...ain_page=index

It's a pretty simple mod with only three files. It'll be added to the download section soon!

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

You may wish to look into a full cPath vs just the $current_category_path as they are different ...

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

Might toss a couple products in there ... :smile:

Not sure if it would be more friendly if the sidebox followed the categories path ... as in I pick level 3 ... stay there rather than go back to the top ...

Pick from the Cat tabs and follow all the way down ...

Pick from the CSS menu of Cats and follow ... etc. etc.

It actually does that if I turn the SEO urls off. So for most people using this mod, it would function that way.

As far as what you're saying here:
Pick from the Cat tabs and follow all the way down ...

Pick from the CSS menu of Cats and follow ... etc. etc.

I have no idea what you're talking about, LOL.

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

The idea is ... when moving through the categories, regardless of how, the category tree(s) should follow your moves in the:

Categories sidebox
Categories Tab
CSS Categories Menu
Dropdown Categories
etc. etc. etc.

Otherwise you get a tad lost ...

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

OK maybe I've had too much Limoncello...! :blink:

I downloaded this module and went to install it via my FlashFXP. I changed all folders named YOUR_TEMPLATE to my template name and hit the Go button. Instead of uploading cleanly, as is the norm, it went into glitch mode and kept attempting to load the category_select_defines.php page over and over unsuccessfully. The error was:

Quote:

(R)550 Can't create directory: File exists

but the file doesn't exist!

I then noticed that the category_select_defines.php is shared. (I belive that's what it means when an open hand icon is on the file, right?)
None of the other files have this shared icon on it, only this page.

I downloaded the module again and again found the "shared" icon on that file and the same issue with the upload.

What am I missing? Is that file supposed to be shared?

Thanks for any help (or black coffee!) you can offer.

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

Hi Great mod, saved me a lot of space to add a couple more boxes on the side of my site. One question.... is there a way i can just have the menu show the main categories and not the sub cartegories too?
many thanks

Also, I see from further investigation that I can't even open category_select_defines.php. Notepad won't open it and Arachnophilia doesn't even see it. All the other files in the module were accessible in the normal fashion.

How did anyone else even install this?? :blink:

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

Hi meltdown, i use FLASHFxp too and had no problems uploading and running the mod.
i had to change the YOUR_TEMPLATE in 3 places before upload, went very smooth this end.

have you had any issues uploading/using other mods?

Never - And especially with Jade's mods, as they are very well thought-out.

Can I ask, when you look at

PHP Code:

/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/template_custom/category_select_defines.php

are you seeing the hand icon that I mentioned earlier? That is most certainly the culprit here and is not on any of the other files.

Thanks - Tim

Chas - Could I ask you to post the contents of /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/template_custom/category_select_defines.php here? Maybe I can bypass the one in my download.

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

Really what I was hoping to accomplish was to add a flyout menu of other links to my sidebox, not the categories. Is it possible to use this mod in that fashion?

Specifically I'd like to move my "Testimonials" link, my "Link Manager" link and the contents of my "More Information" sidebox into a sidebox flyout.

Hmm, I don't use FlashFXP, is its shared status something that can only be set by that program? I've never changed sharing details on any files on my computer at all. I can open it just fine on my end. I see that you were able to make this work.

If people continue to have the issue, let me know!

You want a flyout menu, or a drop down menu? For a drop down menu for those links, you may just have to create that manually by making a new sidebox with the drop down menu hard coded.

I don't know how to do that off hand, but maybe if you post a question about this seperately int he forum, perhaps Ajeh or someone more skilled can help you. The drop down uses the zen_get_categories function which is found in includes/functions/functions_categories.php, perhaps a new function can be created that gets only main categories.

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

How do I change the width of the select box?

Because some of my categories have many letters, in mozilla the select box is wider than the info box itself.
http://www.basketweaver.com.au/ff.JPG

In internet explorer, the category select box resizes itself to accomodate the select box but then is wider than the other info boxes.

[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/STAFF/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG]http://www.basketweaver.com.au/ie.JPG

Otherwise this is a great contibution. I was using a previous mod which required us to alter the header file but this drop in ensures that it's easy to integrate into another site or if I ever have to rebuild the site from scratch.

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

I had the same problem only way i could solve it was to tweak my catagories text to make them smaller longest one i have now is about 22 characters

It's because of the length of your category names. However, you can constrict the width via css. Add something like this to your stylesheet:

#categoriesselect select {width:150px;}

That did it perfectly. Maybe this should be in the mod or a note that lengthy category names can affect your layout?

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

Hello, I think your contributio nof the Category Drop down is amazing. I am new at this but I would like to use this under my header (Online Art Gallery for all of the information, not the categories menu as I have the amazing rollover effect for this)? How would I go about doing this. I downloaded this and put the files where they belong and turned on the categories admin button. Do you have any suggestions, my site is www.cagedtalent.com/store

Thank you for your help and time

Its not a complicated issue... the drop menu is simply too wide.

Just add this to your stylesheet:

#categoriesselect select {width:120px;}

I've got the fix for people who want NO SUB CATEGORIES showing in their drop down menu.

First, open up includes/functions/functions_categories.php

Save a backup, as this is a core override, and there is no override folder for function files.

Then add this new function:

Code:

function zen_get_categories_no_sub($categories_array = '', $parent_id = '0', $indent = '', $status_setting = '') { global $db; if (!is_array($categories_array)) $categories_array = array(); // show based on status if ($status_setting != '') { $zc_status = " c.categories_status='" . (int)$status_setting . "' and "; } else { $zc_status = ''; } $categories_query = "select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_status from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where " . $zc_status . " parent_id = '" . (int)$parent_id . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name"; $categories = $db->Execute($categories_query); while (!$categories->EOF) { $categories_array[] = array('id' => $categories->fields['categories_id'], 'text' => $indent . $categories->fields['categories_name']); $categories->MoveNext(); } return $categories_array; } ////

You can add it wherever you want, I added it right after the code for function zen_get_categories.

Now open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_categories_select.php

and change:

zen_get_categories

to

zen_get_categories_no_sub

VOILA!

Hi!

I have tried searching for this, but i get no matches. So i'm sorry if this is a second request...

Do you have a sulotion for highlighting the selected parent category? So when i am at the home page, the home "button" stays selected and when i browse a category, the top level category stays selected in the menu?

THanks!

You could try this:

in tpl_drop_menu.php

comment out in this section:

PHP Code:

require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php'); $zen_CategoriesUL = new zen_categories_ul_generator; $menulist = $zen_CategoriesUL->buildTree(true); $menulist = str_replace('"level4"','"level5"',$menulist); $menulist = str_replace('"level3"','"level4"',$menulist); $menulist = str_replace('"level2"','"level3"',$menulist); $menulist = str_replace('"level1"','"level2"',$menulist);

these lines:

PHP Code:

require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php'); $zen_CategoriesUL = new zen_categories_ul_generator; $menulist = $zen_CategoriesUL->buildTree(true); //$menulist = str_replace('"level4"','"level5"',$menulist); //$menulist = str_replace('"level3"','"level4"',$menulist); //$menulist = str_replace('"level2"','"level3"',$menulist); $menulist = str_replace('"level1"','"level2"',$menulist);

If this is a subcategory to many, remove the //from the lowest of 3 lines.

Works for me.

just a note: this is without the new function. Just the original files.

Do you have a sulotion for highlighting the selected parent category? So when i am at the home page, the home "button" stays selected and when i browse a category, the top level category stays selected in the menu?

THanks!

No, sorry, I don't.

I don't see the category select drop down menu on your site, but I do see the CSS Dropdown menu for your header- With Categories!

Anyhoo, your problem is you have this before the beginning of your menu:



and all should be fine.

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

This module would be perfect for my front page center box...

Do you know how to add code to center box? I copied "tpl_categories_select.php" code to index_default with no luck. Any hints?

Also, is there a way to limit the drop down so that I can use one for each of my two categories (mens shoes... women's shoes)?

example is here...

Thanks,

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

Another question about drop box on front page here: when selecting a menu item from drop down (for instance - women's 'Beautifeel' brand) it goes to correct page, but doesn't open the sidebox categories menu for that brand....which would happen if you click women at topnav bar, then click 'beautifeel' (it then highlights the brand your on, and allows you to select other brands within that category).

It's probably easier if you check it out: shopwalkthisway.com. Try clicking on brand from front page drop down, then note how the sidebox looks... then click "women's shoes" at top nav and note how sidebox looks.

(ps - thanks for all your help! This is a great app)

Any ideas how I could do the same thing for the "Information" sidebox? On my site here it's just below the categories side box.

I would *love* to have the same thing for information! <hint>

I just want to clarify exactly what I mean here...

If you click CATEGORY 2/ SUBCATEGORY 3 from the drop down, the link goes to to the right page, but doesn't tell the left hand menu which category it's in. So on my site, the user would either have to go back to home, and choose another sub category, or use the left hand category menu to repick a main category, then after that rechoose another subcategory...

Dropdown link: http://shopwalkthisway.com/index.php...=index&cPath=3
Link it should be: http://shopwalkthisway.com/index.php...ndex&cPath=2_3

Any clue how to fix it??

I added the make as a catagorie level 1, I want to use this mod to display the content of the Make catagorie so it will display the Make in the drop down list such as BMW, Ford, Chevy etc.....

I have set up my site, and it is looking great so far- but I have a ton of categories, so this mod will be great.
I downloaded it and am reading the instructions for installation and I froze- I have no idea what they are talking about-
Where do I change the Your_Template name (i see the folder, but if I change that folder name to my template name and upload it, then won't my template be overwritten by this file?) Then the next step, I am fearful of the same thing, there is already a folder named included, if I upload this folder it will overwrite the other one-
Again- sorry that this is so utterly basic, but I need to get this moving and don't want to keep bothering my brother the computer genious-

Use an FTP program to upload the files. Naming the folder to your template simply tells the file where to go.

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

Update: Wow, this is really perplexing! I cannot see why the drop down will not follow the cPath and parent category like the CSS fly-out menu works. Of course this is coded completely different... but even when I try to hack the two together, I cannot seem to access the right part of the path to add the parent directories.

I'm starting to think that we may need to go about the programming completely different... that is unless some of the other admins can help us look :) It's a bug that's pretty bothersome to me - but not sure how much it affects everyone.

Back to the hunt! :cheers:

I'd even chip in to help someone figure it out. Taugg, I also played with the code a bunch trying to figure out how to make it work, with no luck. It's a great idea for a mod, just needs an update.

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

Hi,

I´m using the "category drop down select menu" mod and everything is working fine. The only thing I would like to change is the position of the subcategories within the menu.

On the 'applezen' demo page this could be seen with the Level 5,6,7 subcats, but I would like just to move the first subcat a bit more to the right. Is this possible?

Thanks

Great package. I have a question and since I am setting this up for a new store, there really isn't anything for you to look at this time.

Is there a way to only have only the categories and subcategories only on the menu? I already have an idea for the rest of the links, but we only want the menu to have the categories.

Thanks

I finally FINALLY updated this mod, so that the cpath works correctly, so your breadcrumbs work correctly. You can see it working at the link above.

If you had 1.2 installed before you will need to delete these files first:

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/category_select_defines.php
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/categories_select.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_categories_select.php

Since none of these files would be overrided in an update of zen cart, I changed the folder structure. If you do not delete these first, your update won't work correctly.

I just uploaded version 1.3 today, so it may take a little while to show up in the downloads section. (in the sidebox category)
