CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

I too am experiencing a blank page. I'm not a PHP guru, just enough knowledge to break stuff. Is there an easy way to see PHP errors?

I double-checked all my uploads according to the installation instructions. I even used the "tpl_header.php" file provided and the original "tpl_header.php" file with the added code.

The site I'm working on is here.

**Also, as you can see... **In my Layout Boxes Controller, it appears I'm getting en error with the "ezpages_drop_menu.php" configuration. The "12541" is the name of my template directory.

Any help to help me help myself would be helpful!

Thanks.

thanks for the reply gjh42. I downloaded the entire package and replaced my old "tpl_header.php" with the new one. here's a link to the site i'm working on.

these are the files i added to my site as per the read me instructions

==includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php
==includes/csshover.htc
==includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/headermenu.php
==includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/ezpages_drop_menu.php
==includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php
==includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
==includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css
==includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_ezpages_drop_menu.php

i will check to make sure i got all of these files in the proper folder structure and see about missing or extraneous php tags (although i am not extremely adept at php)

ok so i guess i just didn't have all of the files uploaded to where they needed to be... it looks like i've got it working now.

will probably have some more questions soon though =D

hello,

i need a little help with my drop down header, i want the dropdown header for the products to only show a few categories so it fits on one colum how can i do this...

my site is rmsmusicoutlet.com/shop

thank you again for the help

Thanks for the great menu. I wonder that how i can put the css dropdown menu to bottom places. I dont want to use on the top. I want to put it lower side of the logo. Thanks again.

Does anyone know if there is a way to integrate the manufacturers list into this?

Chrome or firefox browser can show you the codes. You must enter the code to Tpl_dropdown file in the templates>your template>common box

Chrome or firefox browser can show you the codes. You must enter the code to Tpl_dropdown file in the templates>your template>common boxThat's just the raw HTML which would have to be updated everytime a new manufacturer was added..

The better way would be to find the appropriate code for grabbing the manufacturer's and applying it to the menu. This way manufacturers are dynamically generated with no further work required toupdate the menu as manufacturers are added/removed. (much in the same way that categories and EZ pages are dynamically generated)

I'm not looking at this so I don't know what code should be added where, but perhaps someone else will chime in..

Well folks, I'm on the asking end today, instead of the advising end...................So, I'm trying to add a little jquery to this menu to make it have an sliding effect. I've got as far as getting the first level to work, although you have to hover over it once, then again to get it to fire right. But, from the second level on, I'm having a heck of a time, and so far nothing but a non-stopping yo-yo effect. Was wondering if somebody could maybe give me some advice on this.

I'm doing this on a test site with a fresh install of ZC, if anybody has the time to look into this. It's at www. getemfast . com/fresh
If, with the help of a jquery pro, I can get this thing to work correctly, I'll package it up for the downloads section.

Thanks all.

Just an update to my little problem..........

I've got the menu to slide up and down in all levels, now. But STILL not on the first hover. And it seems like the hover command is timing out, as sometimes the menu items pop up again, as normal, using the css. Once hovered again, they will start to slide again.
Anybody have any ideas about this? I sure could use a jquery-savy person right about now.

Well, nevermind all. I finally got it............on my own.

So you do know what I'm gonna ask next...

ARE YA GONNA SHARE???????????????????:D

I've still got some work to do on it. It can be set to "show", "slideDown", or "fadeIn", but so far, I've not been able to get it to do either of those on mouseout.

Ooooooo sounds like it will be a COOL addition to this menu when you are done.. :smile:

Well, I'm hoping, anyway. Ya' know.................I COULD still use a little help from a a jquery-smart person. :)

Of course, I'm still working on it, so if anybody decides to lend a hand, let me know...............as it may be all kinds of messed up when you look at it. If anybody comes around, I'll put it back to what's working right at this time.

Finally got it. With ALL animations down AND back UP!!:clap:

I actually done this as a request from a customer, so I've got to get him finished up, then I might think about packaging it up for the downloads section............I don't knowwwwww, though.........nobody helped me on it, and I had 3 full days of :frusty: and :lamo: and :oops: and :no: and a HELL of a lot of :censored:..........all by my self...........:cry:.

Yea, but you've gotta give me a couple or three days.

Awww quit fussing, have a nice STIFF drink and give it up!!!:laugh::laugh: Besides sharing makes you FEEL good..:laugh:

Super Orders update was born out of similar circumstances so I feel you.. (though arguably I did have others working on this in the end) but ultimately I gave it up too..:laugh:

I hesitated posting but I have been unable to find the answer.

1. How Can I add my own parent menu listing and then add child, sub-categories? Is this done with the categories_ul_generator? If so is there anywhere in this thread that describes how?

2. In my menu the text must read CONTACT_US. When editing to Contact Us (No underscore) in tpl_drop_menu.php something breaks and I lose the site.

I do appreciate any help!
