CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

I was wondering if the menu has the ability to be doubled. What I mean is whether I can add a second row listing categories below the one already present. I'm going to be running out of space very soon and this would be great! I'll be the first to admit that I don't totally understand CSS fully, so any help would be great!

Thanks.

no sorry, this isn't doable.

Yikes! That's some expensive real estate. thanks for the quick response.

OK. Can you tell me how to move the listings closer together in order to make more room?

Thanks

I think there's a lot already in that real estate, and maybe adding too much more would be overwhelming for that section. Just my .02.

In includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css, and find the section with the 16.667 and 16.649 percent.

That number is 100 divided by 6. If you add a new menu item in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php, you can change the above numbers to 100 divided by 7. The second number needs to be a little bit smaller for IE.

You are using my mod, and not the one that's title "Paul's Version", right? Paul's version lists each category across in the menu, whereas mine works as this test site here: http://www.applezen.sagefish.com

I have been told by a friend that the menus are not dropping down in IE6. It works great here in IE7, FF and Chrome. I tried searching this thread for IE6, ie6, ie 6, etc, but nothing comes up. I think it's a search thing. Anyway, sorry if this has been asked and answered. I would appreciate it if someone could test in IE6 and any suggestions to fix.
thank you

Re-read the readme.txt, and be sure you've followed the instructions for the .htaccess, and for the csshover.htc file, and make sure they are both uploaded in the correct spots. csshover.htc should be in the includes/ folder.

Jettrue,

Could you give me a clue how to add REVIEWS and CURRENCIES to the drop down.. I read the reply you gave me but not sure how to add the links..

Any further help will be appreciated.

Hello,

I am using Zencart 1.3.8 and I just installed the dropdown add-on and love everything about it. My client was looking at the site and he mentioned that he would like the sub listings to be dropped down just a hair as it seems to cause him some problems when the first catagory covers some of the Information link. I can't seem to get that to happen, but got to make them happy.

I went through the stylesheet_header_menu.css and made changes, but I can't seem to get it to drop down a bit. Do I need to add a code somewhere else? My css and php knowledge is a little limited.

Thanks

Hi Jade,
Awesome, I hadn't changed "mysite"s in htaccess. I remember my 2nd grade teacher telling me to read and understand the directions BEFORE proceeding.

One problem; my site is defined WITHOUT the www., so I added the appropriate code, but, if I type in www.keepsafeco.com (with the www.) in a ie6 address bar, I don't get the hover dropdown. I tried adding the code for sites defined WITH the www to the htaccess, but as I'm sure you know, this didn't work. Is there anything I can do?

Beautiful family BTW

Right. The whole point of the .htaccess is so that when you type www., it changes to non-www., if you've done it correctly. In IE6, the drop down menu can only work for whichever way you have it defined in your configure.php file, as IE6 sees your www. and your non-www. as two different domains.

If you defined your site in your includes/configure.php without the www/, then you need to be using this in your .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yoursite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Then when you type in www. in your browser, it should change to non-www., then with the csshover.htc uploaded, your drop down will work.
