CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

I'd posted this before but had no link to offer, and hence no responses - now hoping someone might help shed some light on it as I have a live link to offer

www.chococielo.com

I've added some menu items to "About Chocolate", but they do not work in firefox (version 2.0.0.17) - despite working fine in IE (version 7.0). The shop and FAQ dropdowns work fine in both.

I'm sure it's something simple I've missed but still can't see it. Hope someone can help...

Thanks,
Adam.

Code as follows...

 <li class="submenu"><a ="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_CHOCOLATE); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_CHOCOLATE; ?></a>
            </li>
			 <ul class="level2">
                <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SHIPPING_INFO; ?></a></li>
			</ul>	
			<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_US; ?></a>
            </li>	

				
            <li class="submenu"><a ="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_INFORMATION; ?></a>
              <ul class="level2">
			    <?php if (DEFINE_SHIPPINGINFO_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
                <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SHIPPING_INFO; ?></a></li>
				<?php } ?>

Your site is not working for me.

Look closely at your code, I'm pretty sure its not correct.

<li class="submenu"><a ="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_CHOCOLATE); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_CHOCOLATE; ?></a>
<ul class="level2">
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SHIPPING_INFO; ?></a></li>
</ul>	
</li>

The </li> should be moved from after <?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_CHOCOLATE; ?></a> to after the </ul>

Hi Jade,

Worked fine, many thanks!!!

I figured it'd be something simple but had been staring far too long at the code. I guess IE is a little more forgiving than Firefox. Great menu, BTW, thanks for making it available!

Cheers,
Adam.

I've installed this mod and love it. It works just like it says it should which means of course I want to alter it! I've searched and searched but haven't found a way to hide a category from displaying in this menu (I've installed hideCategories mod but then saw in the forum that it does NOT work for css menus). Has anyone found a solution?

Also, I posted a message earlier about putting a height limit on the drop down and having it double over instead. You can see why I'm asking here:

Any help on this as well would be great!!!

Add the !important as below:

div#dropMenu ul.level2 li a:hover
{
color: #D66E7B!important;
background-color: #F3D5D8;
}

I'm on a mac too.

I think the easiest way to add pages is with EZ-pages in the admin.

jettrue, that worked! thank you. As to the easy pages, I did try it. unfortunately, the info pages are disperced and some are parent of children, so after palying with it, moving the code

<?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/' . $template_dir . '/' . 'ezpages_drop_menu.php'); ?>

around the tpl_dropdown_menu.php file, i gave up. but yes, it is easy to add pages with ez pages.

thank you for everything.

What do you mean "the info pages are dispersed"?

I can't see why it would not work (hideCategories), but you'll have to open some files for this mod and make some changes. For example, I think you'll need to make some changes in includes/classes/categories_ul_generator under function zen_categories_ul_generator. I'm assuming you'll need to change the $categories_query so that it selects the un-hidden categories instead of all of them.

Height limit is not possible, sorry. Could you rearrange the categories in alphabetical groups? Like "Teams A-F", "Teams G-L", etc?

Great mod. Works like a charm. Clean, functional, and easy to set up, even for a non-tech minded person like myself.

Thank you greatly for all the effort and time invested.

Hi,
Great mod, just what I was looking for. Thanks!
I'd like to change where the home tab links to. Currently, it goes to www.mysie.com/shop/ but I'd like to change it to just www.mysite.com - how do you do this? I've tried changing the header_tpl but it makes no difference.
Thanks again.
B.

Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php and change this:

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a>

to:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com">Home</a>

Hello , love the ad on !! I was wondering if it is possible to have the drop down menu extend a little further down? I have a lot of products and when the menu drops down , it cuts off a lot of my products...my website is

http://jygoods.com/shop/index.php?ma...Path=1326_1330

that is where you can see the categories and how it doesnt drop down all the way...

And one more issue, when i click on information in the menubar, it brings me to the shops original homepage and not the information page,

thanks for any help...
