CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

bumba000:

how do i change the name catagories to products?

the header image in use is not bg_header.jpg.
this is what i did. So that where the header img stops after 790 it doesnt look like it stopped. This was to try to fit in 800x600.
Kinda like the sliding door method.
I'm not really understanding your image method, but if its working the way you want it, great!

Change "categories" to "products" in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/headermenu.php

[quote=all4coffee;451190]When some of my pages initially load the categories column shows up in the center column for a moment, then shifts back in place. This happens only in Firefox (IE is OK). This is the link to one of the pages it happens on (to see it happening you must use Firefox):
http://www.time-co.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_17

I'm posting it on this forum (jettrue already told me it has nothing to do w/ CSS menu and suggested "giving . centerColumn a width" which I tried but it didn't help ) because no matter how I search for i.e. " Firefox shift" it does lead me to this thread...

Please help if you can. Thanks.

jettrue,

Did you find it, or not? It comes with the drop down menu.

Well got it now. Thank you. I did have one there, just didnt see it I guess.

Now where do I rearrange the menu Home, Products, Information. . . ?
Also, How can I use images for the menu background? Only up top tho?
Thanks,
John

Thanks, Jettrue,

I added float: left In navColumnOneWrapper, #navColumnTwoWrapper
like this:

#navColumnOneWrapper, #navColumnTwoWrapper {
float: left;
}

Loads clean (no shift) in both IE & Firefox. Thanks for being so responsive!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I am using the newest version Sept 2007 but it seems to be a bug in Opera 9.23. The menu works fine under Firefox and IE but try it on the Opera browser (version 9.23) and you will see that the space is still there.

Hansi

It looks like you found the answer. YAY! I am cursing the day that I decided to originally design the menu with extra space leftover at the end... it wasn't an "empty cell", just extra space, so that the menu wouldn't break into two lines when font size was increased, but now that the newest version is designed in percentages and that problem is solved, perhaps I'll not have to answer this question every other day, LOL.

Yeah, I saw that the other day, and decided to ignore it after a few things didn't work... I'm not going to devote a ton of time trying to figure it out. But if I do find the answer, I'll post it here!

Hi,

I might have the answer to that. I think that the last <a> menu item should belong to class "noLine" i.e. <a class="noLine" href="........">.

I will try it and see what happens later at home (unfortunately I do not have Opera installed in my workplace's PC).

Is there any way to exclude a apecific catagory from being shown in the drop menu?
I cant use the status bubble because then my linked products wont work.

Thank you,

I wouldn't ignore that error. It seems to have something to do with your installation of a zen cart faq manager? I'd go to the support thread for that mod, and ask them for help. Just ignoring that sql error may get you into trouble in the future. From some reading in the Faq Manager thread, there seems to be a common problem with sql issues.... Are you using the latest version of Faq Manager? Also, before you get too far into developing this site, I'd install the latest version of Apple Zen, as well.

To disable discount coupons, go to "Modules", "Order Total", and uninstall the Coupons module. It will disappear from the drop down menu.

Here's a link to a section of the Faq Manager thread:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48457&highlight=p.products_date_added&page=9

around thread #86, there begin to be some solutions offered, but again, I would post there if you haven't already.

So this may not be a simple or easy question, but, If I have the 1.8 version of this template, what would be the best way to upgrade to the 2.2 version without having to customize the things that I've customized? (which I'm not sure of everything I've customized:blush:)
And I looked at the thread for the FAQ and got that problem solved. Thanks

Well, in the readme.txt file, I list all the changed files for each upgrade. So, you can leave some files alone, and replace only the ones I've adjusted. You can use a file comparison tool like WinMerge to show you exactly what the differences for those updated files are, so you can keep your changes, and only merge in the stuff you want.

Hi,

Just an update on my previous email.

No, it did not work :(, the extra traling cell is still there when the menu displays on Opera browsers.

I am only new at this version of Zencart and have just started to set up a new site. I installed horizontal dropdown menu and it works fine in IE 7 but in firefox 2 it is all wrong and pushes the sidebars and middle of the page to the side.

I would appreciate any help in getting this to work for me with firefox

Yeah, at least removing the line would remove the "illusion" that it was another tab... however, the extra space will still be there in Opera.

It's not an extra trailing cell.

Anyway, you put the noLine in the wrong place, it should be on the my account link:

Sorry, not that I know of. What's a status bubble?

Add <div class="clearBoth"></div> to the very end of includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php
