    Default Re: CSS Dropdown menu for your header- With Categories!

    Then there is that thing in the readme about a hidden link for an "About Us" page - WTF? - Surely the whole idea of this module is to enable you to add stuff like that by configuring the files or adding in your existing EZPages links? And why the need for for this hidden link anyway?

    Well, I'm going back to EZPages - they don't do what I need them to do, but this module as it is is hopeless, and cannot be configured either. - The PHP template is shot and the coding appears to be broken.

    One other thing, the code for manual inclusion into the tpl_header.php needs to go before

    Code:
    <div id="navSuppWrapper">
    <div id="navSupp">
    or the dropdown bar will not display.
    Wow, I have never had someone respond this way to a free mod where someone offers FREE help. I have spent COUNTLESS hours on this mod, and by the way, it works FINE if you install it correctly. Did you even look at the test site I listed in the readme.txt at http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com ? Looky there, it's working fine! I've also installed it myself without all the problems you describe. Did you stop and think that maybe you made a mistake?

    UH NO, that is PATENTLY UNTRUE if you install it correctly, you end up with a menu with categories that work fine, titles that work fine, just like is here:
    http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com

    My guess is you started with not all the files uploaded in their correct spots. I don't as a rule upload mod's that don't WORK. I test and test and adjust and adjust and spend hours and hours making sure it works correctly. But I can't account for people who don't know what they're doing.

    Was the WTF really necessary??? If you don't want the link, you don't have to un-hide it. It's really that simple. This mod comes from my apple zen template, and I happened to add an about us page to the apple zen template. Because some people wanted that, as they wanted to be able to define an about us page in the "define pages editor". Is that OK with you?

    You're welcome to it!

    So, you say that this isn't working:

    Code:
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCESS); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ACCESS; ?></a></li>
    Do you actually use this:
    Code:
    <?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCESS); ?>
    to successfully get a link to work in other zen cart files? Because the error you describe suggests to me that you didn't define the FILENAME_ACCESS correctly in a file in includes/extra_datafiles/ like this:

    define('FILENAME_ACCESS', 'access');

    so that zen cart knows to go to that page. Download the about us page mod in the downloads section, it shows you all the files you have to add to get a new page you make to work FULLY within zen cart.

    Please have more respect when you come to this thread, or ask someone else who likes people to be rude to them.
