Undo your changes and see if it works. We have no way of telling what's happening from an image.

The categories are still coming in as one category in a single row after installing again. It makes the same number of rows in tab as there are number of categories are there. Is there any way to make more number of categories in a single tab.

I have not made a single change after reinstalling...

In the installation instruction given below,

"SYNOPSIS

This mod adds a very simple CSS dropdown menu to the Category Tab.
It is a single level only so it will display subcategories or products depending on what the Category contains.
Currently it will NOT list products that are linked to a Master Category ID.
It is recommended that the embeddded style calls in the tpl file be moved to the stylesheet and removed from the tpl so that the HTML can validate."


Can you explain the meaning of last line "It is recommended that the embeddded style calls in the tpl file be moved to the stylesheet and removed from the tpl so that the HTML can validate."

If you want us to be able to help you, we need to see the site live. Screenshots are generally useless for diagnosing styling issues.

The mod file(s) presumably contain some style="what: ever;" or <style> element {style: rules;} </style> code, which will throw a flag when run through an HTML validator. These are better included in a CSS stylesheet instead of in a PHP file.

I have a question and I think it could be a simple fix. Is it possible to hide all the products from showing in the drop-down? (via .css or .php) I would only like for the sub-categories to display in the drop-down and not the products themselves.

For stores with many products that are cross linked, this:

This contribution will NOT do the following: List top-level category products linked to that category.

causes some products to show and others not. Since I have tons of products it makes sense to disable the drop-down for any category that has products only. That is of course if this can be done.

Hi,
I am using this mod as you can see here: www.drgreens.co.uk
Is there anyway to disable being able to click on the top level category, and only be able to click on the subcategories that drop down? I don't like that a customer can click on the top level category that takes them to another page.

Also, when you hover over and it drops down, is there any way to have the hover background color on the subcategory run to the end of the line rather than just cover the word?

Thanks

Hi, can any help me with the following......?

I have installed this add-on and one thing I have noticed is that when you select a sub-category from the drop down, the category sidebox does not expand to suit what path you arrive at.

How can I make the category side box expand to suit where I am taken?

Thanks

Have you applied the code fix in niccol's post #11? (Or has it been incorporated in the download?) The URL generated by the original links would likely cause issues with any function that depends on $cPath, as the categories sidebox does.

brilliant, i applied the fix and I got the desired result! Thank you!!
