CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[Lectronix]

Your site is still generating errors.

I think part of your problem is your code here:
<!--// bof: search //-->
and
<!--// eof: search //-->

The correct syntax for hidden text would be like this: (get rid of the //'s).
<!-- bof search -->
and
<!-- eof search -->

I couldnt find the <!--// bof: search //--> etc in search sidebox so I turned it off but its the same. Also all other sideboxes disappear like normal category sidebox, whats new sidebox, currency sidebox on right column etc

You have a lot of things going on on your site.

Now you have this (remove the extra -->)

<!--eof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->-->

Did you turn on a new sidebox? Something (it seems like a sidebox) is stopping the site from finishing loading. Turn off sideboxes one by one until the site comes back.

To find what file this is in:
<!--// bof: search //-->

You can search for it in your admin, under "Tools", "Developers Tool Kit", use the bottom search box, and choose "Search Catalog".

Yes thats the problem i installed "click show hide category" mod and if i switch the sidebox on site goes like how u can see it now. I turned off all sideboxes except the mode sidebox, site still the same

Tried searching <!--// bof: search //--> using the developer kit before and again just now... the very last search box and selected catalog .. it cant find the file

Then there is something wrong with click show hide. Try reinstalling it.

Ok, I just downloaded the click show hide. The issue is it also uses a file named includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php

Change the one for "click show hide" to categories_ul_generator2.php
Then in includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/categories_css.php, change categories_ul_generator.php to categories_ul_generator2.php

yes i know so I left the original clickshowhide ul generator and renamed the drop down menu file to categories_ul_generator1.php and made changes to tpl_drop_menu.php.

clickshowhide works absolutely fine if drop dwn menu's category menu is turned off

I think you'll have to change the name of the function inside categories_ul_generator1.php (add a 1 after every function - but I think you can skip buildBranch and buildTree?), like so:

class zen_categories_ul_generator1 {
var $root_category_id = 0,
$max_level = 0,
$data = array(),
$parent_group_start_string = '<ul%s>',
$parent_group_end_string = '</ul>',
$child_start_string = '<li%s>',
$child_end_string = '</li>',
$spacer_string = '
',
$spacer_multiplier = 1;

var $document_types_list = ' (3) ';
// acceptable format example: ' (3, 4, 9, 22, 18) '

function zen_categories_ul_generator1($load_from_database = true)
{
global $languages_id, $db;
$this->data = array();
$categories_query = "select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id
from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd
where c.categories_id = cd.categories_id
and c.categories_status=1 " .
" and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' " .
" order by c.parent_id, c.sort_order, cd.categories_name";
$categories = $db->Execute($categories_query);
while (!$categories->EOF) {
$this->data[$categories->fields['parent_id']][$categories->fields['categories_id']] = array('name' => $categories->fields['categories_name'], 'count' => 0);
$categories->MoveNext();
}
}

function buildBranch($parent_id, $level, $submenu=true, $parent_link='')
{
$result = sprintf($this->parent_group_start_string, ($submenu==true) ? ' class="level'. ($level+1) . '"' : '' );

if (($this->data[$parent_id])) {
foreach($this->data[$parent_id] as $category_id => $category) {
$category_link = $parent_link . $category_id;
if (($this->data[$category_id])) {
$result .= sprintf($this->child_start_string, ($submenu==true) ? ' class="submenu"' : '');
} else {
$result .= sprintf($this->child_start_string, '');
}
$result .= str_repeat($this->spacer_string, $this->spacer_multiplier * 1) . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=' . $category_link) . '">';
$result .= $category['name'];
$result .= '</a>';

if (($this->data[$category_id]) && (($this->max_level == '0') || ($this->max_level > $level+1))) {
$result .= $this->buildBranch($category_id, $level+1, $submenu, $category_link . '_');
}
$result .= $this->child_end_string;
}
}

$result .= $this->parent_group_end_string;
return $result;
}

function buildTree($submenu=false)
{
return $this->buildBranch($this->root_category_id, '', $submenu);
}
}
?>
