Aligning Header and Attributes

[dbltoe]

I guess I'm Gonna be forced to load this on a test site just to find out what they've left out. On a mission

[Amabelle]

A man on a mission is a scary thing. I'm sorry to cause you extra work.. it looks ok so I'm not too fussed on the coding. That said, if you need the files or anything else to expedite the process please let me know...

Just a small part of the pie one might think. Au Contraire, Mon Frere!

A search engine cannot see images, font colors, etc. When spidering a site, they rely on the code. If the code ain't up to snuff the spider can lose its way. If they can't discover your categories or products due to bad code......

Everyone harps on SEO. Well, Zen Cart comes "out of the shrinkwrap" compliant with html. Accepting the fact that a one-page mod breaks it so terribly is not an option for me.

Later, I will post my findings in the thread for the mod. My search is not complete as the problem is alluding me. Perhaps the creator can see the glitch that I cannot. I will put a link to my post here, as well.

Reader's Digest version is that (other than the <br /> outside the <li> tags) there is a problem with the code that produces the product listing for main categories without sub-categories. For now, you can remove all the <br /> tags from every where but

echo '<li>'.'<a href="'.zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($products_tab->fields['products_id']),$cPath_new. '&products_id=' . $products_tab->fields['products_id']) . '">'.$products_tab->fields['products_name'].'</a></li><br />';

Out of the box, the mod needs no changes in css that I can see.

[Amabelle]

Ahh.. right! Ok so precision is the key here.
I tried removing all the </br> tags except for the one you mentioned above and the problem still occurred...

The only thing that may need tweaking in css is the disappearing dropdown as a result of margin for the box.
gjh42 had a great fix:

#navCatTabsDropdown li ul {
background-color: #AF5980;
color: #F6D2E4;
margin: -1px 0 2px 2px;
position: absolute;
visibility: hidden;
width: 215px;
z-index: 100;
}

That is really more a fault of the mod. The tpl file is incorrect in that it should stick with the navCatTabsDropdown by entering a div for navCatTabsDrop versus the navCatTabs that is there. This causes the mod to accept other css that is messing with the overall.

There are other problems with the css as well. What's complicating your problem is the existing css not working well with the mod layout.

I thought I had found a bug as well, but it looks as if it was not. I opened a thread here to see if someone has a fix in that I can't see.

There were many errors that compounded the problems with this mod.
With niccol pointing me in areas I had overlooked, I was able to get this working and validating.
I have repackaged the mod and will submit it for approval.
Meanwhile, the gory details and a link are at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...4&postcount=16.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I can't imagine the amount of work you put into this.
I'll download your version of the mod straight away!

What I thought would be a simple straight forward addition has been quite opposite!

[dbltoe]

Simple was the first name of a pie man

That's why you can almost hear a collective groan when someone says, "I have the same problem." That's when I want to bet any amount that they don't..

Unless you load two clean installs on the same server, there's no way to have two sites exactly alike.

And, to the credit of the guy that built the mod, it's EXTREMELY difficult to make a "one size fits all" mod. My version will probably need tweaks to fit in with some sites, but the css is there to do it without having to search for it.

I will probably look at the product search query next week. I'm just a glutton for punishment.

[Amabelle]

You're not going to believe this!
I've uploaded the new files and barring the bad colours etc. the problem is still occurring for the same two products

Murphy was an optimist. Rename the catTabsMenu.css file to stylesheet_catTabsMenu.css. DUH!

Fixed in the file online.

If we learn from our mistakes, shouldn't I have a doctorate by now?!?
