Pure CSS Mega Menu

[toomanyknots]

Hello. I'm having trouble getting this to work. I am attempting to test this out on a fresh 1.5.4 install on wamp on my local server. I have currently tried installing the mega menu on the responsive avonlee contempo template, and the normal avonlee contempo template, to no avail. The problem comes after I add the code to tpl header:

"3. In your favorite plain text editor, open the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php file. If you do not already have this file in your template override directory, make an override for it by coping the includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php.

Directly before the ending line:

<?php } ?>

Add this code:

<!--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>

Save the file."

What happens is everything on the website disappears except the header. It is strange, and I am not sure what is the problem. Is this menu compatible with 1.5.4?

A white page or partial white page usially means there is a errorlog file created. go to your log folder in the zen cart installation and see if there are any. You can post the contents of the latest one here, and we can help you better.

It is compatible with 1.5.4. Check your logs folder for errors and correct them.

Can I do a mega menu like this with this plugin (this website has an awesome mega menu, it's easy to navigate, and you don't have to click 5 links to get to the product you want): http://www.outdoorsexperience.com/

Tried it on a fresh install of 151 too, same thing happens. As soon as I add the code to includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl header.php everything under the header disappears:



Here is the log for that:

Does anyone have a guess what could be the problem?
