CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

Jade,
I think you missed the little caveat that Gourmets threw in his question. Looks to me like he'll have to add the EZpages to his Brands menu manually the way I did with my site.

Ah, I see, well, if he uses ez-pages, can't he just only make an ezpage for the brands he wants to show? What I suggests MOVES ezpages TO the "contact us" menu (which he will rename "Brands"), and then he can make the ezpages he choses. :-)

Yeah, there are always a number of solutions to any problem. He could also make a category called "Featured Brands" with no products. Then he could make his chosen brands subcategories under this and the logo and description of each of them would appear in menu flyouts from the main link. The beauty of this would be he could also put specific or featured products under the brands as sub-subcategories. That way the menu would build itself automatically and to my thinking it 'belongs' with the product category menu.

BTW Love the new avatar. The kids and the dog are cute.

Thanks to those who attempted to help me with my Brands header. Sorry for the delay, but I had a house fire to deal with!

In any case, I have moved my ezpages to the former Contact Us header and renamed that to Information. I then renamed the former Information header to Brands, now Im just confused as to how to get the Brands underneath the header. In other words, I need 2 sets of ezpages for the header. I have one set of ezpages with such links as Shipping policy, Live Support, FAQ's, etc under the Information header. I need another set to show up under the Brands header...but if I add them now, they will only show up under the Information header. See what I am talking about here: www.gourmetshoppe.net

Is there a way that I can duplicate the ez_pages_dropmenu.php file and add a second set of ezpages only for the Brands? I would prefer to use ezpages for this instead of categories and subcategories if I can. Thanks.

I've never done that, I don't know if that would work, I don't think so.

You're going to have to do one or the other manually. For whatever drop menu you want "Brands" to be, I'd leave the ezpage code there. Then for your new information, you'll have to create the links to the specific ezpages manually.

Ok, but how to do you create them manually? This is one of the things I wasnt aware of how to do. Do I have to put the links into the actual file? Or is there something else? I dont understand the manual part.

Yep, you'll manually add them in includes/template/YOUR_TEMLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Hello

I am a newbie to the customization of ZenCart.
I just installed CSS Horizontal Drop Down Menu. This is a great addition to Zen Cart. The installation went fine once I figured where everything went. I even surprised myself.

The only problem I am having at this time is that it does not work with the older IE 6.02900. The menu is working on all browsers except there is no drop down function in the older IE. Is there a work around for this? Am I Missing something? I did read something about the .htaccess but I think that was only for the proper direction of the links.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

G
