Pure CSS Mega Menu

Actually it does work. How embarrassing :blush:

Anyone else struggling with the same, it's a lot of work but the above blog link is the best talk through.

Exactly how did you use the blog method? Did you make a uniquely identified clone for each of your top categories? More detail and a link to the site where this is (not) working will help.

OK, glad to know it is working:)

gjh42 - the link was in my last post (#240) which is now on the previous page.

Right I tried the blog post http://nigeltsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/adding-seperate-category-dropdown-for.html to add all of my top categories, but I am only getting the one result come up. I have since changed the setup to sub-categories

Please could anyone advise. I am at the end of my tether here :frusty:

Very cool blog post ;)

If you want to show top categories you can also use the alternate categories ul generator file from this module:

Thanks Anne

But it says version 1.3.9 on that page. Does it work on 1.5.1?

Yes, I believe that you can still use the ul generator file on 1.5.1. Try it on a test environment before your live store, or do a good backup.

Hello,
I wanted to get rid of the Manufacturers tab so I added display:none; at the bottom of the sheet. It's removed, but now there's a large space before the last tab "Customer Service". How do I remove this space?

Thank you.

I am running a multiple language site english and hebrew - utf-8 encoding... however, if I edit the menu by adding Hebrew, the result is question marks... accordingly, is there any manner in which it is possible to manage the character encoding for non Latin characters?

I am having an odd problem with the Shop dropdown portion. There seems to be another menu opening up over the top of the main menu. It has what looks like 2 buttons, "Lock" and "Misc". Any body know how I can get rid of or otherwise turn them off? I don't know a ton about this stuff, more like a layman and had made changes to the header to get it to look like I wanted. Not sure if this is an easy fix or it has to do with something I did to the header. Thanx for any help in advance.

Sorry for the late reply, but I just saw your post. If you still need help, post a link to your site and I can take a look.

Thanks,

Any properly installed language pack should work with no problems with the module. You will need to copy the language files from the module to your new language and then translate the definitions.

If you post a link to your site I can take a look. Be sure that you have uploaded all of the module files to the correct places on your server.

Like I said, I'm not a pro coder and took over an existing site trying to make it work... The main site is at http://www.henrycompany.com/ ... the Zen Cart part that opens in a frame of the former is https://vacpartsplusstore.com/catalog/index.php ... Thanx for any help...

It looks like your menu is being generated with the top categories in the .sub-menu class instead of the .level2 class. What are your top categories?

Thanks,

Anne

I believe the top categories are "Antique", "New Machines", "Part" and "Used". as displayed on the shop bar. These are parsed from the Atrex POS system we use. The entire structure of our system, as far as it goes, is in disarray and straightening that out is a different ballgame, but the menu displays them, it just has another drop down popping up in ADDITION to the shop bar, above or inside it, not sure like I said. But it is the behavior of that particular drop down I am puzzled by as there is no "LOCK" or "MISC" written ANYWHERE in ANY of my site files, so I have no control of it. Thanx Again for any help.

OK so I went into my admin in zen cart, to snoop around. And in the Categories / Products Tab I found what I think is the problem. There was a "Linked Product" in the inventory. It was linked between "Janitorial" and "Misc" subcategories. so the last 2 folders in the sequence between those 2, are "Lock" and "Misc" which are the buttons showing up on my menu on my site. It must have something to do with linked products. It was only 1 product, so I deleted it from the linked folder which was "Misc" and left it in "Janitorial". In my admin the "Linked" status is gone, but in the Menu, I still have these 2 renegade buttons displaying. I left it up so you can look at it again, and maybe you can figure out my next step, unless I figure it out first.

I don't think that linked products would be doing anything to cause the problem. There are many linked products used in the module demo site.

Tried reloading the whole mod again just to see if changes I made had anything to do with it, but it did the same thing. Tried Renaming my Categories, adding categories, and moving things around and it seems like that "Part" folder in particular creates the same behavior no matter where I put it. It's like there is another linear menu of the sub categories from the "Parts" folder popping up when I hover over Shop on the main menu. When you slide down over the "Part" category link, the "Ghost" menu disappears. I am really confused on this, any suggestions or any help I can get I'd appreciate, and Thanx Again...

I figured it out. :cool: We have a MASSIVE amount of different parts that we sell. Some of these subcategories will be cleaned out, but will still leave us with a ton of them. I was splitting the parts into 2 folders in Zen admin, and when I had enough files transferred, the "Ghost" bar disappeared, moving off page to the left. So if someone has a huge un-sub_categorized list like we do, they may have same problems with this mod. I will solve it completely when I get into our Atrex system, but in the meantime, this is a GREAT looking and functioning mod and I personally thank you, it's everything I wanted. :D
