dropdown menus - suckerfish - basics?

[mafiasam]

okay so I have tried to search and search for a basic tutorial on how to implement the suckerfish dropdown menus in zencart but I have no idea where to paste the html and css code.

A basic tutorial as to which CSS and PHP files I need to modify would be great.

my site:
http://www.oldwestgames.com

my resources:
I do have a basic understanding of CSS.
Very little knowledge of PHP.
I have Adobe GoLive which is awesome for editing CSS.
my zencart version is 1.3.0.2
I am using the future zen template.
I have the category tabs on.

suckerfish tutorials I have read:

Thanks

If this is for your header nav, look at tpl_header.php & place the code outside of the php tags.

Add the css to your stylesheet.css file ( you are using just one ??correct), or you could make one stylesheet_menu.css if you prefer

OOPS...are you trying to wrap the cat tabs into this or going to turn them off or both??

[mafiasam]

I suppose whichever is the simplest route to go.

what do you suggest?

[kobra]

Cat tabs are great for auto generating the cats & sub-cats and can be styled via css but are not drop down...
Depending on your product volume & mix, and if static or highly changing I think this would drive my decision, Unless there is a client with wishes...

There was a drop down mod for the previous series that needs upgrading and I was using the son-of-suckerfish and trying to do the php thing but I am too weak in php to get it right. As I see you are weak in php we make a great, php disabled pair...

The suckerfish or son-of-suckerfish works great and is fairly browser compliant...

The menus should be fairly static.

So would it be best to turn off the cat tabs and replace them with the previously suggested method?

is there a zen cart site out there that has a working example of the suckerfish implementation?
