Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.

[jettrue]

Hello, when I did this, it was red and it looked like this in two columns over my categories and this was over the pictures so they would not enlarge.Do you have any suggestions. Thank you for your time and help.

I'm not following you here. You are talking about the category drop down select menu that's found on the top right side box here:

If so, I think I'd have to see the issue in action to know how to help you.

I installed this no problem, but I want to apply some CSS to change the look a bit. How would I go about this? I don't see anywhere in the php files that looks obvious to add classes.

thanks!

I have some questions regarding of dropdown select menu sidebox mod.

I'm trying to design a new website using zencart with cherry_zen template.

I have installed everthing that I've been told but I have very strange result as you can see on my website: www.wordbest2000.com

If I put category dropdownmenu on rightside sidebox, causing my all rightside sidebox moved 5 spaces to the left. as you can see on my website : www.worldbest2000.com

If I put dropdownmenu on left side sidebox, the category drop down menu move at the very bottom of the page.

What could possible cause this problem.

Help!

Its not a complicated issue... the drop menu is simply too wide.

Just add this to your stylesheet:

#categoriesselect select {width:120px;}

Below shows code for the 'all products, featured products, etc links and can be added to the catagories_select thingy :)

If you look in the original sidebox for the categories you can see the code for adding these links:

  if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_SPECIALS == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_FEATURED_PRODUCTS == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_ALL == 'true') {
// display a separator between categories and links
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_SEPARATOR_LINK == '1') {
      $content .= '<hr id="catBoxDivider" />' . "\n";
    }
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_SPECIALS == 'true') {
      $show_this = $db->Execute("select s.products_id from " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s where s.status= 1 limit 1");
      if ($show_this->RecordCount() > 0) {
        $content .= '<a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_SPECIALS . '</a>' . '<br />' . "\n";
      }
    }
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW == 'true') {
      // display limits
//      $display_limit = zen_get_products_new_timelimit();
      $display_limit = zen_get_new_date_range();

      $show_this = $db->Execute("select p.products_id
                                 from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p
                                 where p.products_status = 1 " . $display_limit . " limit 1");
      if ($show_this->RecordCount() > 0) {
        $content .= '<a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW . '</a>' . '<br />' . "\n";
      }
    }
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_FEATURED_PRODUCTS == 'true') {
      $show_this = $db->Execute("select products_id from " . TABLE_FEATURED . " where status= 1 limit 1");
      if ($show_this->RecordCount() > 0) {
        $content .= '<a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_FEATURED_PRODUCTS) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS . '</a>' . '<br />' . "\n";
      }
    }
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_ALL == 'true') {
      $content .= '<a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ALL) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_PRODUCTS_ALL . '</a>' . "\n";
    }
  } 

Special thanks again to 'Ajeh'
