Support for CSS Flyout Menu

[NullMind]

can this hack be used ot create a side menu as used here

http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk

notice each main category has an image, and when expanded it does not reload

[kaz]

I have a site that I am porting to Zen Cart (http://classygroundcovers.com -> http://classygroundcovers.com/cart/i...=index&cPath=1).
It needs categories to be displayed with both latin and common names (on separate lines for readability).

There are two Categories side boxes on the left of the ZC site presently:
- the one at the bottom works OK and displays multiple lines per category
- the one at the top is the css flyout version that I am trying to get working, it displays only the first line of each category when you mouseover All Types

Can anyone advise me how to get Css Flyout Categories to display categories on more than one line? (like the category box below)

I installed this mod without a problem, and it works fine.
However, I noticed that it loaded a blank tab, and after that, the tabs for "Specials...", "New Products...", etc.
I would like to get rid of this blank tab and introduce in its place some nice-looking separator.
How do I do that?
Also, I noticed that "Featured Products..." is too long and overlaps on the image. Maybe I could fix this by adding a > instead of the ...
How do I do that?
Thanks.

Hi,

I'm sorry to ask a question that I know has been raised a hundred times before - my problem is that none of the answers that I've seen posted have worked for me.

I'm using CSS Flyout Menu v1.3.0.3.2. I've installed it and it's working perfectly on Firefox, but the subcategories refuse to appear in IE6. So far I have:
a) copied csshover.htc into both my main directory and into includes
b) ensured that all references in includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php to http(s)://www.possumbooks.com include the full "www.possumbooks.com" and not just the "possumbooks.com"
c) updated the first few lines of stylesheet_categories_menu.css to include the full path

*/body {
behavior: url(http://www.possumbooks.com/includes/csshover.htc);
/* WinIE behavior call */}

All with no success. If anyone out there has any ideas on what I should try next I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks,

Hi again,

I've been struggling to get the same vertical spacing between the subcategory items as appeared for the main categories. Based on the screenshot that came with the download this no-vertical-space layout is the default.

I've been playing with the following code but with no luck.

This is the css I think I'm supposed to be updating.

div#nav-cat ul.level2 {margin: -1px 0 0 -1px; padding: 0; width: 150px;
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
}

Can anyone help out with suggestions?

Thanks,
Possum.

So sorry, everyone. I was out of commission for a while, but I'm back, and stronger than ever. Everyone who has posted on this thread, let me know if you're still here and Zenning, and if you're still having these issues, or if you've got them resolved by now.

Thank you.

I made this with
css_horizontal_dynamic_menu_pauls_edition_1-1

Nickolay, go to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_categories_menu.css and over-write ALL the code in there with this:

body {  
         behavior: url(includes/csshover.htc);
} /* WinIE behavior call */
div#nav-cat {
     margin-top: 0em;
     background-color: #838367;
     width: 95%;
     margin-left: auto;
     margin-right: auto;
     font-weight: bold;
     font-size: 1.0em;
}
div#nav-cat ul {
         margin: 0; 
         padding: 0; 
         width: 100%; 
         background-color: #838367; 
         z-index: 1000;
/*  border: 1px solid #AAA;*/
}

div#nav-cat ul.level2 {background-color: #c65928; width: 180px;}
div#nav-cat ul.level3 {background-color: #c65928;}
div#nav-cat ul.level4 {background-color: #c65928;}
div#nav-cat ul.level5 {background-color: #c65928;}
div#nav-cat ul.level6 {background-color: #c65928;}

div#nav-cat li {
    z-index: 1; 
        position: relative; 
        list-style: none; 
        margin: 0;
    margin-top: 2px; /* change it to whatever space you want to put space between buttons*/
    border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC; /* <---this line may help or hinder IE menu shifting issues */
}
div#nav-cat li li {
    margin: 0; /* this overrides the margin-top in the declaration above */
} 
div#nav-cat li:hover {background-color: #c65928;}
div#nav-cat li.submenu {background-color: #838367;}
div#nav-cat li.submenu:hover {background-color: #c65928;}
div#nav-cat li a {
        display: block; 
        padding: 0.25em 0 0.25em 0.5em;
    text-decoration: none; 
        width: 99%; 
        color: white;
}

div#nav-cat>ul a {
        width: auto;
}

div#nav-cat ul ul {
        position: absolute; top: 0; left: 100%;
    display: none; z-index: 1000;
}

div#nav-cat ul.level1 li.submenu:hover ul.level2, 
div#nav-cat ul.level2 li.submenu:hover ul.level3,
div#nav-cat ul.level3 li.submenu:hover ul.level4,
div#nav-cat ul.level4 li.submenu:hover ul.level5,
div#nav-cat ul.level5 li.submenu:hover ul.level6 {
        display:block; 
        background-color: #756783;
}

That is one I just done with solid color backgrounds, so it won't give you the little arrows, as they are images. But it will give you solid background colors that will be a LOT easier for you to work with. If you do want those arrows, then just change images from the ones that's included to a couple of arrows. Then, you'll have to play with the margins, paddings, and such to make it work for you. That's the OLD-OLD version of the menu. I'm currently working on the next version for 1.3.8.

Hope this helps
