Pure CSS Mega Menu

[DarkAngel]

I too have had trouble adding links or drop downs to the menu, they are placed right but won't show up so not sure what to do.

but you can rearrange the info in your tpl_mega_menu.php file:

You most likely have mistakes in your code. If you post an example I can take a look.

Hi Anne

Thank you for this stand alone mod. I have it installed and have been playing around with it for the last couple of days. I am however, stuck and am looking to see if you (or someone else who may know what I am doing wrong) would be kind enough to point me to the right direction. This site is a clean ZC 1.5.1 install with column divider pro, footer menu and Image Handler 4 installed.

I have a large list of manufacturer's that I am trying to display in either 3 or more columns. I changed the tpl_mega_menu.php to say this:

<li class="manufacturers-li"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>" class="drop"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MANUFACTURERS; ?></a><!--bof shop by brand -->
<div class="dropdown_3column">
<div class="col_3 firstcolumn">

<ul >

This does provide me a list however, the spacing on the mega menu breaks (everything is getting pushed to the right) and the list of the manufacturers is displayed withouth hovering over menu. The site can be seen at www(dot)just-vibrators(dot)com/zencart/just-vibrator

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you again for the wonderful mod.

I was playing with the css, as I knew the solution was in the css file. I was able to fix the problem I caused. I had to add .mega-menu .dropdown_3columns under /* bof drop down styles */, then .mega-menu li:hover .dropdown_3columns under/* bof drop down on mouse hover left aligned */. That seemed to have fixed the issue.

I am happy that you figured it out and posted your solution so that others who have the same question can benefit ;)

Thanks Anne,
After trying it out for quite awhile now I decided that it was best to put our categories back in a sidebox. I now have the extra link above in the mega menu with the drops that will behave as they should. Removing the categories was needed for us because when the menu was there, and then hovered, the links would appear but to actually click on it you needed to go almost midway to the right of listed name to be able the click on it. Otherwise it would just close the hover totally.

Could be cause we have many categories with several subs, it also made for an extremely long listing, hence putting it back to the sidebox.

The mega-menu is great to have as a feature on non drop templates and is still a might different than the clunkier previous version someone else had years ago.

The only problem I have is a slight jerk when going from one menu tab to another. ai fixed it on another store site...LOL...but it did not work on mine so not sure what happened....course I had to do quite a bit of fixing at that site. I can live with the slight jerk. I tried using firebug but it was too confusing so I try using web developer.

Thanks for your continued help with your plugin and templates.

Tracking down the "jogs" can be laborous, but it usually has to do with paddings/margins being slightly off in the menu elements ;)

Hey Anne,
Love the Menu. My buddy found it on the Oxford Dark layout and he loved how it was laid out. I have been able to change colors and all that no problem. He wants to add a menu item and I have looked and searched for 2 days now trying to find this. Where and how do I do this? Thanks Anne!

I am happy that you like it ;) You can edit the includes/templates/override/common/tpl_mega_menu.php file.

yup that is for sure...I got a migraine chasing down the jerkiness but all areas concerning the links/hovers all have same settings for margin/padding but will keep trying until I beat it up and it flies right...lol
