Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

[picaflor-azul]

Hi Anne,

Thanks for the quick response. Did you mean the tpl_mega_menu.php file as I don't have a tpl_drop_menu.php file. However, this only has reference to the first menu item "categories". It looks like /includes/languages/english/extra_definitiions/abbington_mega/headermenu.php might be the file. So if I wanted to add a new menu item (link) to the Information drop down and call it "Test" and point Test link to main_page=testpage.html where would I do this?

What I was saying out the "About us" menu item is that on the drop down menu "About us" has the picture and some text (which is changable in the hedermenu.php file I mented above. However, in the footer section there is an "About Us" link that points to main_page=about_us that is a different page and contains this info:

Home :: About Us
About Us

ABOUT US Sample Text ...

This section of text is from the Define Pages Editor located under Tools in the Admin.

You can use either the language-file in /includes/languages/english/MYTEMPLATE/about_us.php or this file separately for this page or, you can use both together.

To remove the language file definition, do not delete the define statement, set it to be blank. Example: define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '');


I'm really just looking to add more drop-down menu items that point to pages I can create.

Thanks,
J.


To remove this section of the text (which you're reading right now), delete it from the Define Pages Editor, located under Tools in the Admin.

Sorry about that! Yes, it is tpl_mega_menu.php. You can add additional links here.

If you read the readme.html file you will see how to edit the about us content in the drop down menu. If you are comfortable with php code you can call the content from the about us page to the header menu drop down so that it is the same in both places ;-)

Thanks,

Anne

Very nice template; the mega-menu is easy to customize. The text associated with the "Contact Us" drop-down is hard-coded in the template file and should be moved to a language file in a future release.

I am not sure what you are talking about. The contact us drop down text is in the language file using the constant TEXT_CONTACT_US ?

Thanks,

The items I've highlighted in red should be in language files.

I will try to include this in a future update. Having the text in the tpl_mega_menu.php file is not effecting functionality at all on the front end and the fields are standard so this is not really a high priority bug fix.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks, Anne. I just wanted to get this noted for your multi-language users.

Can you please make a zen cart plugin with just the mega menu to add to my site? Its something I want to do really long time and nothing is better than yours in this template!

**quietly raises hand**

I would be sooooo interested in this if you did it.. I have been quietly looking at how to grab the menu from this great template to use as a standalone menu..
