Horizontal Fly Drop down Mneu

[tcjay]

I have added the files in the appropriate location.

When I add the code
<!--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-->
to the header in the common templates directory,

The page stops part way through the header. See attached image.



This is the last part of the code:

<div id="dropMenuWrapper">
<div id="dropMenu">
<ul class="level1">
<!-- You can manually put whatever additional links you like in using this structure -->
<li class="submenu"><a href="http://www.stitchboutiqueboston.com/">Home</a>
<ul class="level2">
<li><a href="yourlinkhere">yourtexthere</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.stitchboutiqueboston.com/products_all.html">All Products</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.stitchboutiqueboston.com/specials.html">Specials</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.stitchboutiqueboston.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search">Search</a></li>
</ul>
</li>


I can't seem to figure out what could be causing the problem.

Tom, is that </li> the very last line of your code? If so, you need to close the open divs................shown in red:

<div id="dropMenuWrapper">
  <div id="dropMenu">
    <ul class="level1">
<!-- You can manually put whatever additional links you like in using this structure -->
      <li class="submenu"><a href="http://www.stitchboutiqueboston.com/">Home</a>
        <ul class="level2">
          <li><a href="yourlinkhere">yourtexthere</a></li>
          <li><a href="http://www.stitchboutiqueboston.com/products_all.html">All Products</a></li>
          <li><a href="http://www.stitchboutiqueboston.com/specials.html">Specials</a></li>
          <li><a  href="http://www.stitchboutiqueboston.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search">Search</a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
</div>
</div>

Hope this helps.

Those twp <DIV> are at the end of the code from tmp_Drop_menu.


<?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;
?>
<!-- You can also add links on this side of your catefories menu -->
<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_INFORMATION; ?></a>

<?php } ?>

The code in the original post is to show the html that appears on the browser. It looks like the php breaks right before

<?php
// load the UL-generator class and produce the menu list dynamically from there
require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php');

So it never reaches the the <div><div>

This is the code from the tmp_drop_menu

Tom, I'm not sure which menu that you actually got, but save yourself a lot of trouble...............uninstall all the files that you installed for that one and install THIS ONE............your headache will be over.
