Ahh, managed to figure that out quite quickly. I just had to add an extra defines to header.php and call on it below:

hi,

I have tried to fix the following prob myself for days but finally giving up now.

on my zencart I have instaled Cherry Zen and I have got the following:

1) CSS Drop Down Menu
2) Sidebox CLICKSHOWHIDECATEGORY mod

Now If I try and display both, it messes up the stylesheet and I cant see the clickshowhide sidebox.

Now I know that problem is with CSS DROP DOWN because if i disable CSS DROP DWN then it works fine but then obviously there is no drop down.

I have also noticed that the problem is with "dyamic ul generator" class and if i comment it out, there are no problems.

I have also noticed the same problem with other mods with sidebox.

Any help would be appreciate.

site is http://food2pakistan.com and I have disabled the sidebox of clickshowhide for the site to work correctly until i resolve this issue.

I can't help you if I can't see the problem in action.

I do see that you are missing two closing </div>'s. You somehow deleted two closing </div>'s from includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php. Reupload the original of that file.

That could be your problem. Just because removing css drop down makes things better, doesn't mean there is a problem with it.

hi thanks for replying. I have now enabled the sidebox so please have a look. I have also uploaded the original tpl_header.php

I am using the following to insert the drop dwn, right after categories tabs display (which I have commented out but even if i dont, the problem is there):

<!--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-->

Your site is still generating errors.

I think part of your problem is your code here:
<!--// bof: search //-->
and
<!--// eof: search //-->

The correct syntax for hidden text would be like this: (get rid of the //'s).
<!-- bof search -->
and
<!-- eof search -->

I couldnt find the <!--// bof: search //--> etc in search sidebox so I turned it off but its the same. Also all other sideboxes disappear like normal category sidebox, whats new sidebox, currency sidebox on right column etc

You have a lot of things going on on your site.

Now you have this (remove the extra -->)

<!--eof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->-->

Did you turn on a new sidebox? Something (it seems like a sidebox) is stopping the site from finishing loading. Turn off sideboxes one by one until the site comes back.

To find what file this is in:
<!--// bof: search //-->

You can search for it in your admin, under "Tools", "Developers Tool Kit", use the bottom search box, and choose "Search Catalog".
