Pure CSS Mega Menu

[picaflor-azul]

Thanks Anne,
After trying it out for quite awhile now I decided that it was best to put our categories back in a sidebox. I now have the extra link above in the mega menu with the drops that will behave as they should. Removing the categories was needed for us because when the menu was there, and then hovered, the links would appear but to actually click on it you needed to go almost midway to the right of listed name to be able the click on it. Otherwise it would just close the hover totally.

Could be cause we have many categories with several subs, it also made for an extremely long listing, hence putting it back to the sidebox.

The mega-menu is great to have as a feature on non drop templates and is still a might different than the clunkier previous version someone else had years ago.

The only problem I have is a slight jerk when going from one menu tab to another. ai fixed it on another store site...LOL...but it did not work on mine so not sure what happened....course I had to do quite a bit of fixing at that site. I can live with the slight jerk. I tried using firebug but it was too confusing so I try using web developer.

Thanks for your continued help with your plugin and templates.

Tracking down the "jogs" can be laborous, but it usually has to do with paddings/margins being slightly off in the menu elements ;)

Thanks,

Hey Anne,
Love the Menu. My buddy found it on the Oxford Dark layout and he loved how it was laid out. I have been able to change colors and all that no problem. He wants to add a menu item and I have looked and searched for 2 days now trying to find this. Where and how do I do this? Thanks Anne!

I am happy that you like it ;) You can edit the includes/templates/override/common/tpl_mega_menu.php file.

Thanks,

yup that is for sure...I got a migraine chasing down the jerkiness but all areas concerning the links/hovers all have same settings for margin/padding but will keep trying until I beat it up and it flies right...lol

If you take a look at the original stylesheet_mega_menu.css file you will see that many of the paddings and margins are not the same. This might be your problem.

That's what makes my store a terror at times...mind of its own. There was absolutely no jerking when I had the categories in the menu. the slight jerk started when I removed the categories menu...

Weird is what it is...but I will try it again and again with hopes of it behaving eventually.

Hello,

I am trying achieve the same effect from the 'information' tab for my category tabs, can someone point me in the direction of creating a 3 or 4 or even 5 column display for the 'shop/category' tab in the header menu? I have read and reread suggested tutorials and threads but can not pin point where or what I need to edit to make it display.

Thanks,

If you read this thread and the Abbington Mega thread you will find some discussion about this ;)

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I have managed to split the category tab into 2 columns at the moment, and have started to customise my own links (rather than the auto category links appearing, I am arranging them under their own header).

The only problem I am having is the second column is sitting under the first column? Not side by side. Any idea how I can rectify this??

Thanks Spigz
