Support for CSS Flyout Menu

[annnika]

Not a problem, albi. That's what we're here for.

Hi - I wonder if it would be easy to modify the code in this (brilliant!) module to handle a custom, vertical menu? I.e. a menu listing multiple levels of external/internal links, instead of categories and products?

(I do need both, a Flyout menu listing Categories - working fine - as well as the custom menu) I started by renaming and modifying the following files to use them to display my custom menu, however, I have been playing with this for hours now and cannot get the categories_ul_generaotr.php file to find and loop around menulists other than the categories!

./includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_categories_css.php
./includes/modules/sideboxes/MYTEMPLATE/categories_css.php
./includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php

Might you have any tips to for someone who's php is not yet very proficient yet!

Many thanks!

It would be a lot easier for you to just get the blank sidebox from the downloads section, and add your own menu code in it.

Hi
I'm upgrading to the lastest version of Zencart - has anyone got the CSS Flyout Menus working on 1.3.9 successfully?

Thanks in advance

I have css_flyout_menu-v1.3.8a working just fine on a 1.3.9d test site on my local system and in a 1.3.9d test folder on my hosts server. As usual be sure to back up first and do your own testing for compatibility with your site and mods.

Excellent! As you advise, I will of course backup, backup and backup again

I've got a problem on my website with the css category menu's being hidden behind a slideshow that I have running on the main page. See an example at http://www.shoptomlinsons.com/

Once you get 2-3 categories deep it is hidden behind the center image (which is actually a js slideshow). Is there any way I can make the categories always show up in front of anything else on the main page?

Yes, there is. In the stylesheet_categories_menu.css, find this section of code:

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;}

Add:

z-index: 1000;

to make that whole section look like this:

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;
   z-index: 1000;
}

That should fix you right up.

Lots of people say it ... "I love this place!" I'm not a programmer, have little networking skills and know even less about website etc .. but these forums make working with Zen Cart SOOO easy!

Usually dont post until I have a problem, most the time either I figure it out or the forums has some useful bits to help.

I have this running on my 1.3.9d site (www.battlebunker.com) but
I'm having an issue with the menu extending below and off screen making it fiddly to reach the bottom of the menu ... any suggestions?

I think I read something about a scrollbar that is added for long menus (may not have been for this mod) ... will have to go looking for that in the previous posts on this thread - I must admit I have not read all the pages ....

And I hate feeling obligated to say "I have a template monster theme", from what I have read on these forums I gather they dont go well together.

Cheers
