CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[timdwyer42]

Thanks alot. I notice when I click on a link from the menu, it doesn't show the whole subcatagory path. for example

index.php?main_page=index&cPath=245

rather than

index.php?main_page=index&cPath=38_39_245

this makes a huge difference for me and makes it pretty much unusable.

Does anyone have an idea of what code to change in categories_ul_generator.php to get it to show the full path?

I looked thru forum and could not find answer...please let me know if there is one.

At login page, I do not want category menu to show. How do I disable only at that page?

Does anyone know code and file to put disable menu on pages like login, shopping cart, etc?

I have sideboxes disabled with includes/temp/xxx/templates/common/tpl_main_pge.php with this code:

//add page names that you want to disable left and right columns
$center_column_only = array('login','account','no_account','checkout','create_account', 'shopping_cart');
// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
if (in_array($current_page_base,$center_column_only) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

I figure it has to be similar....

Possibly you're like me and did not want the EZPages to show up in the menu. So I did not upload the EZPages file in the mod.

After doing as you stated, I ran the debug file utility in the downloads area and it gave me the correct error.

All it is line 79 in tpl_drop_menu.php. Find this line of code:

<?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/' . $template_dir . '/' . 'ezpages_drop_menu.php'); ?>

and simply delete it or 'cut' it out and place in a spare readme file to remind yourself the mod you have made (saves alot of time for reference).

After that, I got my site back! Hope this helps you.

Quite right, I will give your fix a try *fingers crossed*. Thanks so much.

Does anyone know code and file to put disable menu on pages like login, shopping cart, etc?

I have sideboxes disabled with includes/temp/xxx/templates/common/tpl_main_pge.php with this code:

//add page names that you want to disable left and right columns
$center_column_only = array('login','account','no_account','checkout','create_account', 'shopping_cart');
// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
if (in_array($current_page_base,$center_column_only) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

I figure it has to be similar....

Anyone? I do not want menu to show on shopping cart and checkout pages similar to sideboxes.

Well I have this mod installed and working only to find out that there is actually a mod that does exactly what I am looking for: I want my top categories to be displayed across the top vs how this mod does it.

I am planning on just deleting the files from the server. Does anyone know which files from this mod modify the core files and which ones do not?

Please disregard the above post. The new mod actually contains the exact same file and folder structure. So I can just overwrite.

I am having some issues with CSS Horizontal Dynamic Menu (Paul's edition) - I already know that this is the wrong support thread (sorry). I have been searching the forums for the right one but can not seem to find it. Can someone please provide a link to it if they know of it - thank you.

In addition, I would like to ask if someone could please take a look at my site, http://www. a u to m o t i v e a c e.com to see if they know what the problem is.

Basically what I did was just overwrite the files when I ftp'd them. Same files and the same folder structure. It just does not display properly - seems to be centered in the middle and only the first 4 top-level categories display. The rest are there but its like they are hidden, you have to hover the mouse over them.

Again, I apologize - I know this is the wrong thread, if someone can point in the right direction, that would be great. Thank you.
