CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

Sorry, I wouldn't know how to do that.

:)

Craig

You're looking good in Safari.

Cart Contents amount? Neat.

Since I made so much room after using the header menu I am relying on the Shopping Cart sidebox to do this for me.

Can someone please tell me how I can get the header menu positioned properly without having it repeat itself?

The default header is still there. You'll see the double red stripe. That needs to go.:frusty:

It was bugging me so I had to finish this.

catalog/includes/templates/MY_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

<div id="navMainWrapper"> <!--eof-navigation display--> <!--eof-header logo and navigation display--> <!--bof-drop down menu display--> <?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_drop_menu.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_drop_menu.php');?> <!--eof-drop down menu display--> </div>

In Safari, the Level One does not extend 100% of the window (pretty off). Explorer 7 shows it off 1 or 2px.

I shuffled the level1 so that the menu would not drop over the side boxes and I cannot seem to get back one of the right borders.

Can you check? http://www.american-rc.com

How do I kill the links in the blank level 1's wihout killing the background image?

Can I add 9 or 10 drop down categories in level1?

Thanks.

Is there a fix for using this with background images in the secure login area? I lose my background image here.:frusty:

I've been using the CSS menu for some time now w/ ZenCart v. 1.3.7. I added selected few ezpages under different headings and it worked fine. Recently I experienced quite slow product pages loading in Firefox, (IE is fine). When trying to analize the problem with Web Developer validation tool showed me about 136 errors/warnings and most of them seems to be related to my added EZ pages links under the CSS menu headings. Analized page is;
http://www.all4coffee.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=66

Here is a sample of the val;idation report page from Web Developer:

Validation Output: 139 Errors
for page
http://www.all4coffee.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=66

Characters highlited in RED were shown as missing and the tool suggested to add them. The problem is that I have no idea where the code is generated...

1. Warning Line 106, Column 48: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "i d".

<li><a href="index.php?main_page=page& i d=12&chapter=0">Sign Up Bonus</a></li> 2. Error Line 106, Column 48: general entity "id" not defined and no default entity. <li><a href="index.php?main_page=page& i d=12&chapter=0">Sign Up Bonus</a></li> 3. Warning Line 106, Column 50: reference not terminated by REFC delimiter. <li><a href="index.php?main_page=page&id = 12&chapter=0">Sign Up Bonus</a></li> 4. Warning Line 106, Column 50: reference to external entity in attribute value. <li><a href="index.php?main_page=page&id=12&chapter = 0">Sign Up Bonus</a></li> 5. Error Line 106, Column 50: reference to entity "id" for which no system identifier could be generated. <li><a href="index.php?main_page=page&id=12 & chapter=0">Sign Up Bonus</a></li> 6. Info Line 106, Column 47: entity was defined here. …<li><a href="index.php?main_page=page&id=12 & chapter=0">Sign Up Bonus</a></li> 7. Warning Line 106, Column 54: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "chapter". (c) <li><a href="index.php?main_page=page & id=12&chapter=0">Sign Up Bonus</a></li> 8. Error Line 106, Column 54: general entity "chapter" not defined and no default entity. <li><a href="index.php?main_page=page&id=12 & chapter=0">Sign Up Bonus</a></li>

then the reports goes on like so regarding other EZ pages links added to the CSS menu.

I looked at my tpl_drop_menu.php which lists my edits to the CSS menu. Here is a relevant to the Web Developer's repost section of this file w/higlighted in red EZ Page link added:

<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a> <ul class="level2"> <?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?> <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li> <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li> <!--<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_NEWSLETTERS, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_NEWSLETTERS; ?></a></li>--> <?php } else { ?> <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li> <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li> <li><a href="index.php?main_page=page&id=12&chapter=0"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SIGNUP_BONUS; ?></a></li> <?php } ?> </ul> </li>

Any guidance or help would be appreciated...

When you turn off the menu, does the site load quickly again? I don't think those errors would slow your site down.

AND for what its worth, I have ezpages using this menu, and there are no HTML errors:
http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com/

And when I validate your site, the only kind of errors I see are from your odd coyright section, where the HTML looks like this:

<div id="siteinfoLegal" class="legalCopyright">Copyright © 2009 <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a>. <a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=18&chapter=0">P</a><a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=19&chapter=0">o</a><a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=20&chapter=0">w</a><a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=21&chapter=0">e</a><a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=22&chapter=0">r</a><a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=23&chapter=0">e</a><a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=24&chapter=0">d</a> <a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=25&chapter=0">b</a><a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=26&chapter=0">y</a> <a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=27&chapter=0">Z</a><a href="https://www40.ssldomain.com/all4coffee/index.php?main_page=page&id=28&chapter=0">e</a>n Cart</a> & <a href="http://www.crystaltech.com" target="_blank"> CrystalTech</a><div class="ic">Free Zen Cart Template by <a href="http://zencart.ichoze.net">iChoze.net :: Free Zen Cart Templates & Professional Zen Cart Customizations</a></div></div>

You have a different link for almost every letter? And in all of those you forgot to change the & symbols to &

That's the main errors I see.

i uploaded all the files..
im back at my admin page
where do i edit the css dropdown menu from my header/ why cant i see this?

grrr.. im very new and very dumb PLEASE HELP!!

Is your site still http://www.getsupps.com ?

EZ pages must be on. The directions are pretty compressed together and all you need is there.

Can I create horizontal flyouts in any drop down that is not equipped?

How do I do this?

Hi All,

Just wanted to know how i go about adding a border to the css header menu any assistance would be great!

Thanks

I figured out how to add a border around the main heading but cant seem to get a border around the actual drop down

Is there any way I can get rid of the "HOME CATEGORIES INFORMATION" setup and start with my categories in there instead? (ie: TOOLS ELECTRIC ABRASIVES)

Try:
CSS Horizontal Dynamic Menu (Paul's edition)

Jettrue, thanks for responding. You were absolutely right - the errors had nothing to do with the CSS menus (AND they were not the reason for my product pages loading slow) I fixed most of the errors but the real problem was java script file calling non existant (and not needed) scripts for HoverBox 2.1.

Hi!

I'm sorry if this topic is in repeat, I'm having a hard time finding my answers!

I'm interested in adding additional links to my Information drop menu.
Customizing any of the link references in tpl_drop_menu, once uploaded, removes the drop down menu completely from my site.

I've tried to do the following:
~~remove Discount Coupons
~~ add topics Designer & Tutorial
~~(rather than use the given page_2, page_3, I've created custom pages: /tutorials.php /designer.php

When the sidebox is activated (I'd prefer to have it off) the "designer" option is available, however I receive a 404 of the page not being found. I assume this correlates to the link issue above.
