[algirard8]

Thank you for all of the help!!! I have just a few more questions. I was thinking of adding a button to the drop down menu but i wasn't sure what to add to make it work. I know its in the tpl_drop_menu.php. Also I would like to be able to display the model number in the shopping cart. Thank you again for this great template and all of the help!!!

What kind of button? A seperate actual button image, or just want one of the menu chunks to be clickable. If you explain more what you want it to do, I may be able to help.

As for the model #, I'm not sure about that, I would ask as a separate question in one of the other forum categories.

hi
is there anyway to get header fkyout to display subcategories from right to left?
also I use multisite module and the filter function works perfectly for category sidebox, but header flyout doesn't react to this function and by results, all categories are seen!!!, also when I use two language and I don't translate one category in one of the other langueage, the not translated category remains a blank place in category sidebox of flyout,
is there any possibility to solve these problems? I abondoned apple zen fir this, I think it's the second time that I submit this question, and may be the last time if there is no idea or solution.

Apple Zen is not guaranteed to be compatible with every other mod out there, so you may have to abandon Apple Zen. As far was the right to left, in includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css, you can change div#dropMenu ul.level8{top: 0; left: 12em; background:#4f4f4f} to div#dropMenu ul.level8{top: 0; left: -12em; background:#4f4f4f}

For the multi-site module, I'm sure there's some sort of modified functionality for the right category sidebox that causes it to filter. You'll need to find out what they did to make that work for that mod, and somehow apply that to includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php (there's a category query in there, since it hasn't been modified for your multi-site module, of course it will show all categories, that is what it is designed to do).

As far as the language issue, I've not dealt with two languages, so I'm not fully sure what your issue is. There are three language files with apple_zen:

==includes/languages/english/apple_zen/header.php
==includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php
==includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/order_steps_defines.php

So maybe you need to copy them and place them in your custom language folder after modifying them?

No, you'll have to do that manually. Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php and shift things around in the order you want them.

For example, this is the section for HOME:

<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a>
        <ul class="level2">
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_NEW_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ALL); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ALL_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SPECIALS; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SEARCH; ?></a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>

Move that down to after this:

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
      <li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a>
        <ul class="level2">
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
<?php } else { ?>
      <li><a class="noLine" href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>

And keep moving things around.

hi jettrue
again I come to ask you another question,
because I have too much category and in sideboxes is very horrible figure to get show them , I found in http://www.amazon.com/, above when your mouse goes over the " see all 41 product category", a window opens and if you don't select it will close automatically,
do you know what is the name of this script or the name of this action? or which are keywords to find something about it?
thanks

Change the -12em back to 12em, maybe? If I could see a real site, that would help me greatly.
