CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[stanb17]

OK,

I loaded up the "Default" template and I can see it fine.

Is this MOD limited to the ZenCart "default" template and AppleZen only?

If someone can tell me how to get it into Deluxe Boot Store template, that would be awesome. There is a lot more going on in this template than the default.

Thanks

In the readme, it tells you how to get it into the file:

3. If you have heavily modified your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php, instead of uploading the tpl_header.php included in this download, you can simply add this to your header where you'd like the css menu to appear:

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

Yep, I have already did that more than once.

As I mentioned I am using Apple Zen, which is the latest version.

I have not modified the drop down menu and even to be sure I re-uploaded the tpl_drop_menu.php to /shop/includes/templates/apple_zen/common/

I am really at a loss as to why it's doing this, or how to fix it.

Does the problem go away when you add products to CD Keys?

You are misunderstanding the override system, i believe. If you are using a different template, you need to install the files for this mod into folders for that template.

You are awesome for this help. I can't look into it tonight... for fear of making more work for myself. Just the same... thanks for all you are doing to help.

No dice.

I have now installed, uninstalled, re-installed 4 times. I've created 3 separate template folders, copied the template "Deluxe Boot Store" to it, tested that (works fine), then changed the name of the folders in the CSS Drop Down Menu to zct_boot_drop (and 3 other names in the process), installed by using the readme.txt file each time.

Nothing works. The only time I can see the CSS menu is when I select the template that has only the classic green layout. Now I have 3 templates in the ZenCart CP named ZCT Lingerie on line, each with it's own path, only one of them is the correct one, but I have to look at the path to make sure.

After 10 years of developing CMS webs I'd thought I'd seen it all, but this one has really got me stumped.

Can anyone through me some love on this. I really need to get beyond this and start loading up content and testing.

Anyone?

I've done just that.. several times without success. I do understand directory structure and file relationships very well. The inner-workings of how ZenCart works and processes things is what is so convoluted.

I bow to your superior understanding of this program and plead for some sort of resolution.

I have the menu installed on Cherry Zen and it's just really nice and works great (after a little work); however I'm adding some custom links you can see here ( mysite )
My issue is - I need to add sub-links to my custom links inside Departments - and I'm breaking the code, so I'm obviously missing something.

This is my code, but the fly-outs get all jumbled

<li class="submenu"><a href=" ">Departments</a>
              <ul class="level2">
                 <li><a href=" ">Men</a>
                    <ul class="level3">
                         <li><a href=" ">Athletic</a></li>
                         <li><a href=" ">Casuals</a></li>
                         <li><a href=" ">Golf</a></li>
                         <li><a href=" ">Dress</a></li>
                         <li><a href=" ">Sandals</a></li>
                     </ul>
                     </li>
                 <ul class="level2">
                 <li><a href=" ">Women</a>
                      <ul class="level3">
                         <li><a href=" ">Athletic</a></li>
                        <li><a href=" ">Casuals</a></li>
                        <li><a href=" ">Golf</a></li>
                        <li><a href=" ">Dress</a></li>
                        <li><a href=" ">Sandals</a></li>
                     </ul>
                     </li>
                    <ul class="level2">
                      <li><a href=" ">Kids</a>
                          <ul class="level3">
                         <li><a href=" ">Boys</a></li>
                         <li><a href="">Girls</a></li>
                         <li><a href="">Infants & Toddlers</a></li>
             </ul>
            </li>

Can anyone offer any suggestions in regards to this?

Well I'm hoping someone that can help me might be listening as this is a bit frustrating.

Here's what I've figured out thus far"

This code will give me the Top Level "Departments" and the second Level Men and its three sub-levels - But when I add the Second Item in the menu it cancels out the first arghhh

<li class="submenu"><a href="">Departments</a>
              	<ul class="level2"><li class="submenu"><a href="">Men</a>
					<ul class="level3">
					  <li><a href=" ">Athletic</a></li>
					  <li><a href=" ">Casuals</a></li>
				      <li><a href=" ">Dress</a></li>
					  <li><a href=" ">Sandals</a></li></ul></li></ul>

To be clear I get

Departments (top Level)
Men (second level)
sub-level 1
sub-level 2
sub-level 3

But when I add the next Second Level "Women" using the same code, it cancels out the first!!

I've built a ton of flyout menus with css for other sites and the code was very simple, but it always used a java script -

I could do that here, but I really want the benefit of the Category UL generator.

Can anyone give me a clue why this isn't working? The extra closing tag is necessary to not have the next menu item on top of this one, but it also seems to shut down the next level.

Normally you would just using a closing </ul> and then open a new one and the next level would be there.

Oh.. one last thing.. I just was checking browsers... FF/IE7 great - IE6 - menu is invisible!! It can be seen in the source but not displayed on the screen. I may be fighting a lost cause here.

Again... if there is a kind person out there that would take a look.. the site is here

[rwoody]

All fixed. It was a closing tag issue (trying to get the right combination of tags and levels).

IE6 thingy I'm sure is a z-index. Off to fix that now.
