CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

Can I do this on the footer and have the options pop up? Or can I move the header down the page. I would like to have these links be on the bottom of the pages to match my existing website.

> The one thing about the code change is that the link to your subcats from the menu does not dispay the full category path. Just the final subcat and product id which means the normal categories sidebox menu doesn't open. I imagine the code could be changed to get it to open the full path but I havn't figured out how.

I added few things to display the full path on sidebox menu.
it seems to work fine to me but not sure if there is an invisable bug. use it for your own risk.

doesn't work on my website...when I upload the tpl_header via ftp it stops working
what's the matter?
thanks

what should i change on the CSS if i want to center the text on the top level and shift all text to the left on all sublevel.

Thanks in advance!

Can some1 answer me this:
i recently installed the css flyout menu 1.5 and the categories ul generator is being used now by a css click-show-hide sidebox from here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=872

and now the categories are generated only in the sidebox and not the menu.how can i have them generate in both?:blush:

Hi, I have a multiple language site and in one of my languages (dutch) i'd like to add a separate link in the dropdown menu.
I've read in an earlier thread that I can add this line: <li><a href="link_here">Link Name Here</a></li>
to my dropdown menu but how can i only show that link in that particular language and exclude it from all the others?
Is there an exeption i can use or do i need to make somekind of language_stylesheet.css to exclude this link from all other languages?
Your help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi,

I successfully implemented the menu and its been working great (i am using 1.3.8 fresh install). I was wondering if there is a way to call EZPAGES into the menu with menu options that generate automatically through the Chapter / TOC relationship.

Read that this was done for 1.3.7, however how does it work in 1.3.8

Thanks and regards,
Sumit

I've read through this entire thread twice & I can't find a fix for my problem. I've got this installed on a test site. It works great but I have a huge space above the menu. I'm not sure what to edit in the stylesheet to fix this, I've tried a couple of things mentioned throughout the thread as possibilities but nothing seems to affect it. I don't know where the space is coming from, I have the menu on another site & it's not happening there.

This is the test site

I need the menu up higher to touch the bottom edge of the blue header.

Anyone got a clue at all? I've been messing with this for 2 days now, nothing I do seems to affect the vertical position :frusty:

Ok, finally have got this positioned correctly. NOW, there seems to be an issue as far when you hover over a submenu link, disappears too quickly & it's** very** difficult to actually click on the link to get where you want to go. Is there some kind of adjustment than can be made for that?

anyone?!:unsure:

:frusty:

Installed it with some great works ;) ... but now I have an issue!
I mean I don't want to have a rectangular "one color" shape, I was thinking to have something rounded. Is it possible? What should I do?
My website is https://www.alepia.ch and this module is up in the header ;) !

Thank you for you help!

any help??

I added this mod and it works great but something strange also happened.

A new logo appeared above the fly-out menu (NewToolsyYou.com in funny block text.) I did not create this and don't know how to get rid of it.

Also the alignment of the header nav bar got screwed up. (Maybe the new unwanted logo pushed it over)

Here is my store URL http://newtools4you.com/index.php?main_page=index

Can someone help me fix this?

Thanks

Check the tpl_header file... most probably the problem is there.
I mean you have to modify the tpl_header file to not show the logo.

;)

p.s. tpl_header is in /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/
where YOUR_TEMPLATE is your template name

Here is my tpl_header.php file. I can't see anything in here about the logo

The only place I see a reference to the logo is in a comment.

If you don't want or need a logo, open includes/templates/template_default/common/ tpl_header.php find and comment out this line of code by adding
“<!--” at the beginning, “-->” at the end
and “//” between the words php and echo, as shown below.

<!-- <div id="logo"> <?php // echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?> </div> -->

Save the file to includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/ tpl_header.php and upload it to your server.

(remember to do a backup ;) )

Hi Can anybody tell me how to change the color from green to blue when hover over the menu bar top level menu.
I have tried stylesheet_header_menu.css and all I can do is change the green to blue on the second layer.
Any help most appreciated.
