CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[kburner]

Are talking about banners you have made and displaying on your site. In other words you do not want to display the banner on ever page I'm not sure if that can be done without it not being displayed at all. I have 5 different banners that alternate depending what page you are on by the sort order.

I have a banner that I put several advertisements. I do not want entire banner to show on login, checkout and shopping cart pages.

Sorry I have not had time. I went to your site in your signature, what banner are you talking about? I think we need to move this to another thread or something. I don't want to hi-jack this thread for this. It's off topic. Sorry guys

Were to move it? Can you move this? If I start a new thread -- I do not want to get tagged for posting too many....

Banner is at bottom of page with advertisements in it...Shopmania, upfront, shopspot, etc.

Thanks, Kim

Hello, How can I put all the categories listed in the top(as in target.com)form left to right? i don't want the menu categories, instead I would like that each category was a menu.

Sorry for my english.

thanks

There is actually a mod very similar to this but actually does exactly as you want. The two mods are very similar, so similar that the css is exactly the same (from what I can see), its just the coding that is done differently on one of the files.

You can get the mod here

I've just added this menu to a new site and can't seem to figure out how to adjust the height?

I wont be using it as a drop down, just purely as a button header row.

Anyone?

kburner posted the code back a few pages when I asked the same question.

replace all the code in /includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php
with this

<?php
class zen_categories_ul_generator {
    var $root_category_id = 0,
    $max_level = 6,
    $data = array(),
    $root_start_string = '',
    $root_end_string = '',
    $parent_start_string = '',
    $parent_end_string = '',

    $parent_group_start_string = '<ul%s>',
    $parent_group_end_string = '</ul>',

    $child_start_string = '<li%s>',
    $child_end_string = '</li>',

    $spacer_string = '
    ',
    $spacer_multiplier = 1;

    var $document_types_list = ' (3) ';// acceptable format example: ' (3, 4, 9, 22, 18) '

    function zen_categories_ul_generator($load_from_database = true)

The one thing about the code change is that the link to your subcats from the menu does not dispay the full category path. Just the final subcat and product id which means the normal categories sidebox menu doesn't open. I imagine the code could be changed to get it to open the full path but I havn't figured out how.

Hi Timdqyer42, just wondering if you got the solution of displaying the full path of subcategories on sidebox menu?

anyone?
