OMG! Another fantastic template to blow things out of the water. My sister was just on the phone wanting a new template for her site, and I'm always looking for the ultimate template.

I'm going to try this right now if I can....

Ok, let me know how it goes ;-)

I put it on a third-level site to test and I really like this template and menu. My build for this site is not complete so I turned the former template back on. But I did notice a problem with the Contact Us in the header: tried clicking submit and nothing happened.

One other thing: I've dreamed of such menus for some time. Now, when I can have one, I realize that I don't have enough to say or put on them! lol

Hopefully can look at this again later today.

I see the problem! I'll have to fix it and submit again. Wish I would have caught that before I submitted the first time!

Hi Anne,

I put the template on my sister's site here:

http://www.promdressesglobal.com/

Hope to turn it in to a major site.

Anyway, I just re-downloaded the template from your site. I see the header Contact Us now works on your demo. Is there a quick fix to get ours working (what file should I re-upload)?

Thanks

And while I'm at it, if you don't mind, can you please advise how I might move our authorize net seal at bottom into the footer, perhaps next to the credit cards?

Thanks

Steve

Nevermind, looks like I fixed it. Uploaded the new tpl_mega_menu php

If you want to add an image to the footer payments section you can add the code to includes/templates/abbington_mega/common/tpl_footer.php file.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,

My sister decided she doesn't want to show a phone number on this site in the footer menu. I tried taking the phone out by commenting out it's code in the footer_menu_defines (see below). But the word PHONE is still appearing, although barely visible just above the email. Can you tell me where that is being generated from and how to take it out? Thanks.

Very cool theme.

I'd like to add an arrow to catogeries that have sub-categories, and also be able to change the text colour when categories have sub-categories in the mega-menu. can't see exactly which part of the mega-menu css file need to be modified.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If you read the readme.html file you will see the instructions for the correct way to remove the footer phone number in step 10.

Thanks,

I would not recommend changing the css for the menu unless you have strong css skills.

Add the arrow to:

.mega-menu li .drop

and

.mega-menu li:hover .drop


Change the color fo the categories with sub categories with this:

.mega-menu .levels ul li.submenu a

Hi Anne just downloaded your template and found that I have alot of duplicate files edning in .php~ could be my end but might be worth you checking the zip file in the plugins section. Also I'm getting the following validation errors
Line 360, Column 47: end tag for "ul" which is not finished
<ul class="level2"></ul>

Line 372, Column 26: end tag for "ul" which is not finished
</ul>
Line 448, Column 21: end tag for "ul" which is not finished
</ul>
Cheers

Thanks for the input. The ~ files are automatic back up files made by my plain text editor. You can remove these if you like.

I'll have to re-validate and submit in a future update. I had the template xhtml valid ;-) The update will not be for a whiile. I am afraid that if I post an update now I'll be in trouble with the admins who approve the plugins.

Thanks,

Anne

You will need to change the width of the slider images in includes/languages/english/html_includes/abbington_mega/define_main_page.php file and in the includes/templates/abbingtin_mega/css/stylesheet.css file.

Thanks,

Anne
