CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[s_t_e_v_e]

The html TABLE For the currency dropdown is situated slightly over the Information box, and that is interfering with the drop down... to fix will take a bit of juggling with the CSS...

[GGVL]

Hello All

I've just installed this on a test site (using the excellent Cherry-Zen template) and it all works a dream.

If possible, instead of having 'Categories' as a top level link, I'd like to have the second level of categories displayed instead (By Price, By Brand, By Type, By Activity).

Categories
* By Price (these all have sub-categories)
* By Brand
* By Type
* By Activity

I've found the relevant code in tpl_drop_menu.php (as below) but have no idea how to amend it, or even if it is possible to do.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

<?php

// load the UL-generator class and produce the menu list dynamically from there
require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php');
$zen_CategoriesUL = new zen_categories_ul_generator;
$menulist = $zen_CategoriesUL->buildTree(true);
$menulist = str_replace('"level4"','"level5"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level3"','"level4"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level2"','"level3"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level1"','"level2"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('<li class="submenu">','<li class="submenu">',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace("</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n","</li>\n</ul>\n",$menulist);
echo $menulist;
?>

Many thanks

Yes thank you for an amazing job!! I was able to include all the pages the client wanted exactly as she requested! She couldn't be more thrilled!

Here's the site I have it running on:

(PS. I just did the web site, I am not associated with the cookies themselves but they are amazing!)

Hi, I ran into a little problem and cannot find the answer. I added the CSS drop down menu but still have the above bar with Home & Log.

I have attached a picture.

How do I remove them?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

It's been ages since I've needed to ask for help here. I (thanks to Zen Cart and this forum) successfully setup a store for my wife (w w w dot i m a g i n a r t dot c o m dot a u) which has been working great. I have now been asked to do one for someone else, which I figured wouldn't be too hard now that I've done one. Wrong! I've only just started this site and I already have an issue! You can see the site at w w w dot h o l i s t i q u e c o s m e t i c s dot c o m / s h o p

The site is very bare as I thought I'd get the module I hadn't used before working before I did anything else. The module I'm having issues with is the CSS Horizontal Drop Down Menu module - hence why I'm writing here! lol

The main headings are fine, but under Information, I wanted to add two other menus. Privacy and FAQ. As you can see there are a few issues.

I used the About Us module to add these two pages. I have used this many times on the site I did for my wife and didn't have a problem. The only difference I can see is the editing of the information.php file vs the editing of the tpl_drop_menu.php file.

The issues are...

1) The name in the drop down menu says HEADER_TITLE_X instead of just X. Where did I go wrong?

2) If you click on FAQ, the bars down the bottom vanish, yet with Privacy they don't??? Also a back button has appeared on the Privacy page which I don't want.

I'm not sure what code you need to see, but below is the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php - if you need to see any others then please let me know.

1. You haven't uploaded all files into their correct spots. Check, double and triple check, (hint, you're missing a language file)

2. Reload the original files for the FAQ, you must have made a change somewhere.

Thanks for that. Still having issues with point 1 and I am certain that all the files are where they should be. I have gone through it many times! I found a way around it, but just want to know if it is a bad thing to do???

In the tpl_drop_menu.php files, I changed the last bit of each line (after echo) to say what I wanted the menu to say. The code now looks like this:

                <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_FAQ_PAGE); ?>"><?php echo FAQ; ?></a></li>
                <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY_PAGE); ?>"><?php echo PRIVACY; ?></a></li>

It seems to work fine now. Should I leave it as is?

Thanks!

Hi! I'm using 1.3.8 and I did rename the "shop by brand" to "shop by author" but I do not have a dropdown list of my manufacturers. Yes, I have two listed, and one test product for each of them.

How can I make the manufacturers show as a drop down?
And is there a way for the "shop by author/brands" link to not be the home page, but a manufacturers page?

Tested in both IE7 and Firefox.

Thanks!

And I fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I apparenly had to add the <ul class=" tag and then close them at the bottom, but I got it to work!!!!!!

Here's my code for the manufacturers section. Hope it helps!
