Css Flyout Categories Menu troubles

Hello everyone, just wanted to say that I tried everything to get the flyout working for IE 6 (and I mean everything).... finally I just upgraded to IE 7.0 and guess what... it works perfectly (of coarse)... so instead of trying to get it to work with IE 6 we just made a little notice at the top of our pages that says something like "this site is best viewed with Firefox or Internet Explorer 7.0, if you are having trouble with the site please upgrade your browser... "

BTW, all the fixes in here worked for me except for the www redirect thing in the htaccess... when I installed that it took all of the formatting out of the site (made the whole site a text format) in both Firefox and IE6 for some reason... ???

I think the biggest help was removing the "float" and upping the px ....

If anyone comes up with something better than the .htaccess thing for IE6 that would be great. :) In the meantime I'm going to give this one a rest.

Hello, I am having a difficult time with the CSS Flyout Categories? I unzipped it and I transfered it over, but it is not showing up on my website? I am not positive that I put the files in the right place.

Can anyone please help me, step by step on where to put the CSS Flyout Add in which files?

I greatly appreciate all of your time to read this and all of your help, as well. Thank you!

I noticed that there is a template_info.php file and a scr_template_default.jpg image included in the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder of the contribution.

Are these necesary? Asking because if I change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder name to match my custom folder name the template_info.php would overwrite the one already there.

Hello Clyde

Sorry, that doesn't look like mine. Mine uses two images for a roll-over effect on all the category links, not just a colored background.

But, I CAN help you with this issue, if you don't have it resolved by morning, as I've GOT to get some sleep. Sorry. If I don't, I might have you with little pink, fuzzy, polka-dots as categories. I'm usually on here by 7:30-8 A.M. central time.
C U then.

Hehehehe

I wait for the morning :smile:

Thank you

Not necessary. You can forget that one. It's just for informational purposes. You don't have to have ANY template_info.php
Hope this helps.

Morning, motti. Looks like you done got it, huh? Looking good.
I did notice, though, that you've got a problem in your upcoming products header.
You know the line in you css that reads:

CAPTION {
/display: none;/
}

? You might want to un-comment that line to look like:

CAPTION {
display: none;
}

Then that will go away, but you probably already knew all about that, huh?

You might want to point this out in the readme or delete them altogether.

*1. Unzip the package, retaining the folder structure.

2. Read the following notes before proceeding to copy all the files to your site,
   Before copying, take care to rename the "YOURTEMPLATE" folders to match your
   custom template's foldername.*

If I follow these (without looking at the contents of YOURTEMPLATE), I'd loose my custom template.

No, Clyde, you wouldn't loose your template. You can overwrite template_info.php, or totally delete it. Like I said, it's just for informational purposes, giving you the creator, creation date, and maybe some special instructions, but it doesn't do anything for your template. And that's not just mine....that's ANY template_info.php. Seriously, just try this: back your's up (since you're worried about this issue), then delet it off your local server (I'm sure you have one for development, right?), and look......no change what-so-ever. It's JUST for you to see this information:
$template_name
$template_version
$template_author
$template_description
$template_screenshot

But it doesn't do a thing for your template, or even required to be there.

Actually, if you look at it, I don't think I even changed it's information at all (don't remember), so I think it still contains DrByte's information from when he first created this mod. All I done was just update it to include images with a roll-over effect.

I am rather shocked, though, that as long as you've Zenned, and as many posts that you have, that you didn't know this. Mmmmmm..................

If I have a custom template folder that I created it contains a file called template_info.php that contains: (as you pointed out above) information that describes that particular template. Now if I upload a file with an identical name (template_info.php) the original file is overwritten and I now have a file that contains information different from what was in it originally.

so if the original is $template_name = 'This is my custom template' and I upload the file from the contribution I now have $template_name = 'CSS Flyout Categories Menu Template';

If I then go to admin -> tools -> template selection, my original template name (This is my custom template) no longer shows up however, (CSS Flyout Categories Menu Template) is now listed as a template selection.

How is this not changing my custom template?

Clyde, Whoa! Easy, big fella'. My bad. Sorry about that. I DO see what you mean. Wow! I'm surprised that I never noticed this.......but I don't change my template too often, though. Actually, NEVER. That's why I never saw that this file ever done anything other than show YOU a little information about the template.
Holy cow! I wander why this file is even included, now. DrByte created this thing, so I'm sure there's a reason for it, but I don't see what, as I chose NOT to overwrite mine (since there was already one there), and I've never had any problem with this mod working.
Like I said, I just updated it to include images with a roll-over effect, and never even paid any mind to the template_info.php.
I will submit an update to this mod to exclude this file, so this doesn't happen again.
Thank you EVER SO MUCH for pointing out this VERY possibly devastating error.
