CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[Woodymon]

to fix the Lightbox issue..... In tpl_header.php add this code:

   <div class="flash"><?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_drop_menu.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_drop_menu.php');?></div>

That fixed it. Thanks for the tip! Now I can return the lightbox css z-index settings back to normal/original

Hi, I have this addon working really well but a small bug i can't get rid of in IE. When i hover over the menu and leave the menu system on a submenu when i return the submenu appears blank until reset by hovering over it again.

I have tested it on all the other member's sites i can find and get the same problem.

Any help would be appreciated

I do not observe this in IE6. What's your URL?

Thanks for the quick reply.

The link is http://www.musicservices.co.nz/killer/ . It's still a work in progress (so don't be harsh) but the menu's there. As i said i get the same on other members sites who use the same menu.

I've not tried IE6, IE7 is what I'm using and having trouble with. all other browsers seem fine. When i drag down to a low level sub-menu and fall off the menu it re-appears blank on next selection. just looks messy.

thanks for any time you spend on it!

Hi,

Is it possible to place the new products, all products, etc. under the categories menu dropdown rather than the home dropdown?

I would also like to take out one of the categories, a document category, from that categories dropdown as well. I have already placed that category in another dropdown menu section but can't seem to figure out how to keep it from showing in the categories dropdown.

Thanks in advance for your help and such a great contribution.

I really love this menu saves me a lot of time then having to make one.

There is one feature I would like to see though to make it even more hassle free.

The "information" part be tied to ez-pages kinda like the categories are. So you can add pages to the menu very easily. This sounds like a neat idea to me if possible. I'm sure many others would like this feature also! :)

Thanks for the mod!

All you need to do is create an ez-page link and include it in your menu and it works perfectly. I use one or two in our menus

I tried putting the new products, etc. under the categories when I was working on this add on, and had a heck of a time. Unfortunately, its beyond my capabilities at this time.

As for excluding a category, one way to do this is prevent a certain category from being included in the database query.

Open up includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.

Find this line:

where c.categories_id = cd.categories_id

then directly after it add:

and c.categories_id !=15

replace 15 with the cPath number of the category you want to hide. (to find the number, click on the document category link, and look in the url for the cPath= section. Use that number. Unfortunately its a manual thing, but it works!

Hi there. I hope this is a simple to solve. I do not want the my products to be displayed after hovering over a category. I only want the categories to be displayed. Another way to say it is that I want to turn off the display for everything that would be considered level 3 and higher. Is this possible? Thanks.

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any resolution reached regarding the problem brought up by hitch (back in post #52). I too am getting this problem and it appears to be with IE7 only.

Cheers,
