Hi Anne...

I installed this module and have a questions about brands. I would like to replace the brands (as I won't be using any) with reviews. Is it possible to do this? Thanks.

Looking for a little help customising Mega-menu

We’ve made a decision to have 9 new Top level categories along a horizontal navigation marked on the attached image in pink. This has been done by taking the standard megamenu dropdown labelled “shop” and copying that piece of code from the tpl megamenu file 9 times and changing the name at the top of each.

The dropdown, which is marked in blue, is what would usually be Top level cats, and the sub of that, which is marked in green, would be the level 2.

What I’m trying to do is get the green bit where the blue bit should be. I simply need to move everything up a level, and find some way to tie that in to my own pink 9 top categories.

I’ve looked at the megamenu generator and other pieces of code with no joy.

Can anyone give me any starters on how this can be achieved?

Thanks for any input.

Hello everyone,

I have installed the CSS Mega Menu and reviewed the steps of installation three times, but I cannot get it to function. I don't know what I'm missing? Below is a screen shot of my header and after it is the last bit of code from my tpl_header.php"



<!--bof-header ezpage links-->
<?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<!--eof-header ezpage links-->
</div>

<!--bof-mega menu display-->
< ?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_mega_menu.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_mega_menu.php');?>
< !--eof-mega menu display-->
< div class="clearBoth"></div>

<?php } ?>

I'm using ZenCart 1.5.0 on a production server.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated, this is a really, really cool plugin!
Thanks,
Danny

OOPS!

I just found out what I did wrong..., For some reason when I copied the code to paste into the tpl_header.php..., it created a space between the < and the first character of code. example: < ? instead of <?.

DUH!
Thanks anyway,
Danny

Hi Anne,

The Mega Menu was installed and worked great! However, I noticed that I had a large blank area at the bottom of every page on the website. (see pic). So I uninstalled the menu and all pages displayed normally, with only a few pixels of blank spaces which are wanted. I re-installed the menu and the menu once again worked great, but the large blank area returned.



If I simply remove the code in the tpl_header.php all pages display normally.., but when I include it I get like 12" of blank space.

<!--bof-mega menu display-->
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_mega_menu.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_mega_menu.php'); ?>
<!--eof-mega menu display-->
<div class="clearBoth"></div>

Any ideas on how to resolve the issue?
Thank You Much!
Danny

I have not looked at your site, but my guess is that it is the length of your manufacturers and/or shop categories that is causing the space.

Thanks,

If you post a link to your site I can take a look.

If you only want to show the top level catetgories, I would recommend using this menu as it will need much less customization:

Yes, you can edit the includes/templates/override/common/tpl_mega_menu.php file.
