CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[helenr]

Hi Get Em Fast,
I was impressed to find your module - looks great. I am a very new zenner, and not a highly technical person when it comes to code. I installed your module per instructions, and now have a great menu, but nothing else on the page below the header shows up. What have I missed?
Thanks!! Helen

Do you have a url for us? This is usually caused by bad syntax in the includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/tpl_header.php.

Ok I came across this one before but was having SSL certificate issues, finally got that resolved... now...

When I go to the secure part of the site ALL but the My Account link disappears on the dropdown menu bar.

I'm using the alt version that displays all the category links on the bar.

See here,
not secure main page with all menus: http://islandrainnaturalsoap.ca/
secure main page minus most of the menus: https://islandrainnaturalsoap.ca/

Anyone? Any info on this problem? Greatly appreciate any help with this? I don't know if this is menu related or some setting I've missed but I really need to fix this problem.

Thanks in advance.

never mind - I found my error.
Thanks!

Hi Robert,

Just to let you know that on FF the transition works just fine, but on IE8 the transition doesn't show, it just goes straight like the regular CSS dropdown. Now this is very irregular. The first level shows the transition, the second doesn't but on my sandbox some 2nd level do show the transition (latest on the dropdown list).

I was going to check on your site but you have a different transition than the original and I couldn't.

***Off Topic***
On your ReadMe file the last link you have that says "...So be sure to drop by Get Em Fast to have your Zen-Cart.." the link is incorrect since it opens a computer folder; you have the link as: <a href="../../">
So maybe on your next update you might want to fix that...

Yea, as it says in the readme, the best transition for all browsers is to use fadeIn and fadeOut. But, I'm sure there will be a few updates to this in the near future, as this is all still kind of in the experimental stages right now, and can use some improvement.

Thanks for the tip about the link. I'll be sure to update it in the next updated release.

Thanks,
Robert

I'll do some checking later on today and get back with you. Sorry, but I never saw your original post.
Ahhhhhh............experimental stuff..............you gotta love it. :)

Thanks Get Em Fast, anything you find out would be great. Did a bunch of searching and I'm thinking it might be a server end problem rather than the menu mod. Trouble is tracking it down and confirming it. As no one else seems to have posted about this problem I can only assume it's something on my end.

Problem solved.... enchantedneedle on the other thread I had going on this problem pointed out a CSS file being loaded on the secure part of the site that wasn't loaded on the non-secure part. Not sure why that CSS file was there. A complete deletion of all files from the https folder and a fresh upload of my working files seems to have fixed the problem. Heh, 2 problems fixed this week, 98 more to go. Well maybe not that many but it's been feeling like that ;)

I appreciate you looking into this for me Get Em Fast even if you didn't come up with the possible problem.

Glad to hear you got it worked out, danger. Sorry about not getting to check for you. Three of us here just caught some little flu bug, or something, and I didn't do anything yesterday, and probably won't do much today but take some Nyquil and sleep this thing off.

@Get Em Fast

I'm using your updated menu on a client site. (using the alternate version)

The client only has 5 top categories but only needs to have 4 shown in the menu.

How can I change tpl_drop_menu.php to only show those 4 top categories?

Thanks
