CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

Jade, do you prefer to split the thread on the two menus systems?

-cj

Maybe I'm confused, but which two menu systems are you referring to? Get Em Fast did work on the vertical css flyout menu in a sidebox, but so far all we've been talking about is the horizontal one that belongs to this thread, no? I know he's talking about getting it to scroll, but that's still related to this mod. What am I missing here, LOL?

Actually, this mod wasn't developed by me, but by DrByte, I think. I just included the rollover images. But seems like after I done that, I inherited it, but there's no support thread for it.

I got the idea from "CSSplay" HERE, and I know it CAN be done......SEE HERE (just found this one), but addapting it to ZC is a little more complicated than I thought....for me, anyway. I'm just learning how to do this menu stuff. But I'm very interested in learning more, and getting this to work with ZC as a new mod. I think a lot of people would like a scrolling flyout menu on their site.....such as you with that loooonngg list of products.
I've just been working on it in my spare time, so it will take me a while, but...I'll get it....eventually.

Like you noticed before, you either get scroll or flyout, but not both. Have you found one that does both? I think limiting the drop down menu to the first level of subcategories, then setting the scroll to only start on level 3, may be the best way to do this.

I've done a quick test, try using this in your stylesheet_header_menu.css:

div#dropMenu ul.level3, div#dropMenu ul.level4, div#dropMenu ul.level5 {top: 0; left: 12em; background:#4f4f4f;width:13.3em;height:200px;overflow:auto;}

instead of

div#dropMenu ul.level3, div#dropMenu ul.level4, div#dropMenu ul.level5 {top: 0; left: 12em; background:#4f4f4f;}

Then in classes/categories_ul_generator.php, change $max_level to 2.

Yes, jettrue, this thread HAS only talked about your dropdown menu, as it should, since this IS your support thread for this mod.
The only reason that the other one was even mentioned is the question asked by chadderuski:

Get Em Fast: That looks really cool. I don't see a solution to also get fly out because you need to leave the hover area to grab the scroll bar.

Also, do you have a separate support thread for your fly out menu? Time to make YOU sweat a little and let Jade rest for a while

And, the scroll idea came from chad needing it for his long list of categories.
So, I was just trying to adapt one to ZC. It's a little harder than I thought, as I don't write these menus', but I can usually manipulate the Hell out of 'em!

Just so there's no more confusion, I'll start a support thread for the flyout menu.....even though I didn't create it., just updated it to include images. I have found out from experience in this forum, if you update it......you own it!........at least all the questions concerning it.
I just hope I can answer all of them.

Get Em Fast cleared this up a couple posts down. Yes, I was talking about doing some additional mod work on Get Em Fast's mod with images, but didn't want to use your thread to discuss that.

Jade, that is a good compromise solution.

Oh! But I think I have an Idea that will make this work!!!! (for some browsers)

Here is the trick:

http://www.cssplay.co.uk/boxes/scrollbars.html

Put the scroll bar on the left! The sub menus can then still fly out right. I have not had a chance to test this yet, as it JUST occurred to me.

O.k. Just so there's no more confusion about which questions get asked where, I started a support thread for the CSS Flyout Menu HERE.
Hope this clears everything up.

I played around with this, and it doesn't quite work as expected, at least in Firefox. Yes, you can get the scroll bar on the left, but the next menu doesn't fly out as it should. Though you actually can "see" the next menu, its very buggy. Here's as far as I got:

div#dropMenu ul.level3 {top: 0; left: 12em; background:#4f4f4f;unicode-bidi:bidi-override;direction:rtl;height:200px;width:13.3em;overflow:auto;}
div#dropMenu ul.level4, div#dropMenu ul.level5 {top: 0; left: 12em; background:#4f4f4f;overflow:visible;}

the above code replaces:

div#dropMenu ul.level3, div#dropMenu ul.level4, div#dropMenu ul.level5 {top: 0; left: 12em; background:#4f4f4f;}

You have an awesome template. I wish I would have given you the $390 dollars I had given to Template Monster for something that doesn't work.

Anyway...I will look more at the other items you have for the next websites.

Here is my question..

My website is www.bongeenterprises.com (direct page is
http://bongeenterprises.com/store/in...3351f1e3489287

When I go to the "about us" page, the page shows up on the top of the page... "
HEADING_TITLE and on the bar (maybe called breadcrumb) it says "NAVBAR_TITLE"

Where are these items located so I can change the "NAVBAR_TITLE" to "About Us" and how do I get the "Heading_title" to change to something else or can I get rid of it for the top of this page?

Cheers and GREAT work!!

Scott

I'm guessing that you used the about us mod to add the about us page to your site? It looks like you're missing a language file:
