How do you add categories? Is it done in one of the files that are uploaded or from the admin side?

You add categories and product in the admin, you've already added categories called "Product 1", and "Product 2", and then you've already added two subcategories, called "Product A", and "Product B".

change the Z-index of the menu to be lower than the image, or the z-index of the image to be above 1000

where do i change the z-index? i have been looking through the header files and cant seem to see anything??

thanks!

Thanks Jade, that fixed it. The only thing I'm seeing now is a green background behind the dropdown menu...and only in IE. Which section of the stylesheet to change to fix this?

How do I add a new menu drop down link.

I like to use the ezpages to create own drop down link on header menu.

Home | Categories | LinkGroup1| | LinkGroup2 | ...

Clicking on LinkGroup1link it would show dropdown like

Printing
Graphical design
Other

I have opened tpl_drop_menu.php but not quite sure how to proceed.
It is OK to have it static even though dynamics menu creating would be better.

Hopefully also making possible to add even more links drop down.

Note. I dont want ezpages to be inside Information dropdown.

addition to last post>

I understand following sub menu and level2 thing and the idea is to make a list.

I can add my own static link to ezpage instead of zen_href_link...
So I kind of get how to make a static menu now.

How about is it simple to clone ezpages_drop_menu.php file and edit it so it displayes only certain ezpages using certain Chapter number?

Could it be simple as just editing the SQL query?

The solution was simple to make dynamic drop down link on header which uses ezpages pages of certain group.


Copy the ezpages_drop_menu.php to make own custom one.

--------------------------------
SOLUTION A
--------------------------------
Edit following line>
$page_query = $db->Execute("select * from " . TABLE_EZPAGES . " where status_header = 1 order by header_sort_order, pages_title");

TO LINE

$page_query = $db->Execute("select * from " . TABLE_EZPAGES . " where toc_chapter = 1 and status_header = 1 order by header_sort_order, pages_title");


Then it displayes only ezpage links of group 1.


To make it even better, more general add a variable to the line.

--------------------------------
SOLUTION B
--------------------------------

$page_query = $db->Execute("select * from " . TABLE_EZPAGES . " where toc_chapter = " . $chapNumber . " and status_header = 1 order by header_sort_order, pages_title");


Now when you are calling for copy of ezpages_drop_menu2.php or what ever name you gave it, you can before that give a value to the variable.
This way you can create multiple menu drop down links using same code.

If you want even better than this you can edit the code that if $chapNumber is not defined then it is not used in where clause.

--------------------------------
SOLUTION C
--------------------------------

If ($chapNumber != ""){
$page_query = $db->Execute("select * from " . TABLE_EZPAGES . " where toc_chapter = " . $chapNumber . " and status_header = 1 order by header_sort_order, pages_title");
} else

{
$page_query = $db->Execute("select * from " . TABLE_EZPAGES . " where status_header = 1 order by header_sort_order, pages_title");
}

--------------------------------
CODE IS TESTED AND IT WORKS
--------------------------------

You would then use following code to make the drop down link in tpl_drop_menu.php file.

<?php $chapNumber = "1";
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/' . $template_dir . '/' . 'ezpages_drop_menu2.php'); ?>

Well your desision if you want to edit existing ezpages_drop_menu.php file or make a copy. I prefer a copy in case you update module you could accidently loose the editing. Well maybe module creator could integrate it to the main code.

Possible make even some improvements to my code.
