Category Mega Drop Down Menu Help

[philip937]

I am trying to develop a mega category drop down menu and was wondering if someone could give some technical assistance.

I am happy with where I can get the code to call the category tree from, what I dont know about is how I can take this output and lay it out into a number of columns.

So lets take the exanded caegory side box as an example, if it was 50 items long, including both top cat and sub cats, how could I minipulate it so that it went down 10 itmes, and then moved to a column to the right hand side another 10 and so on..? is this possible?

I am looking at the following as a baseline for structuring the menu but basically the drop down I want to have all available cats and subcats in view but not all vertically..

hope someone can help? perhaps this has been done already and I just cant find it? but I have searched and the only ones I have found are vertical ones

Anne from picaflor already has done the work for us,

It looks like she also used the tutsplus dropdown as an inspiration ;)

sort of, but the categories are not as I described, if you lok at teh picture the category is vertical and you have to hover to get the sub cats.

I want all cats visible in the drop down and be able to decide how deep the columns go..?

I think that is described in the readme, or somewhere in the support thread here on the forum

Can you share how you worked this out.. I got the categories to display in columns, but when I hover the various categories, the column to the right of the one I am hovering "jumps" over to the left.. It's driving me absolutely bonkers..

Sorry DivaVocals,

Only just seen this, I really must subscribe to threads more!

Do you still need help with this? I managed to custome code it so I can set using sort order as to which category's go in which column if you are interested.

No worries.. I got my "jumping" issue sorted (some silly CSS thing I had neglected), but I would LOVE to see what you've done since it's next level of what I already did.. So do I want you to share????
Ummmmm YES!!!! share share share share.. PURTY PLEASE!!!!
