CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

Ok, i'll look at them later and see if i can help.

Thanks, I think there are only two files involved.

LadyDee

I need some help. I am really new at this.

I downloaded and then uploaded all the right files. Verified twice... just in case. I have searched the files, and did find some that would help but I am still stuck.

Can someone help me?

1. In my tpl_drop_menu.php, it shows "Contact Me", "My Account", and "Shopping Cart" but it doesn't show up on my horizontal bar anywhere.

2. I figured since the above didn't work I would 'rewrite' the codes and put it in manually. But when I tried, I lost everything on the bar beneath what I added.

This is what I added:

<ul class="level1"> <li class="submenu"><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account">My Account</a> <ul class="level2"> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=login">Log In</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=logoff">Log Off</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account_history">Order History</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account_edit">Change Acct Info</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=address_book">Change Address</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=password_forgotten">Forgotten Password</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account_password">Change Password</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account_newsletters">Newsletter Subscription</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account_notifications">Product Notification</a></li> </ul>

Can someone help me?

I would say you have a missing </ul> looking at that.

You could also run your page through a code validator:

All the best.

Ok, i've looked at the editable home page boxes and i don't see anything that would prevent them showing after install. I'll have to put it on one of my sites and see what happens. I'll let you know what happens.

CES is right, i had the same thing, you have a missing tag.

<ul class="level1"> <li class="submenu"><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account">My Account</a> <ul class="level2"> </ul> </li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=login">Log In</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=logoff">Log Off</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account_history">Order History</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account_edit">Change Acct Info</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=address_book">Change Address</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=password_forgotten">Forgotten Password</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account_password">Change Password</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account_newsletters">Newsletter Subscription</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scrapn2nspire.com/shop/index.php?main_page=account_notifications">Product Notification</a></li> </ul>

You have 2 closing tags missing i think. </ul> and </li>

Has anyone else gotten pretty much a blank age when using the css drop down. All I get is the top bar which has the login - etc., my header, and another bar that has the categories and everything else, then my page is blank there is no scrolling and everything else I have done comes u missing.

Screen shot of what it should look like:

I installed everything and its working fine on my test site:

http://www.ypaintball.com

The files for both mods don't cross into the others files so its deff not the center boxes mod.

Have you placed all of the files for the drop down menu into the correct files on your site because it sounds to me like its trying to call files that it can't find. i.e. they are in the wrong place.

Do you have a live link with the drop down installed.

I don't know what I did, but I that I had left files on my test server from the header_dropdown_menu_css_1-0 which was making everything act strange. I now have it working on my test server and will move it to the live server today.

I wold just like to know one more thing, can we change the colors in the drop-down? How do we do this?

Thank you so much for all you assistance.
LadyDee

You can change all text colours, background colours, hover colours etc etc in the stylesheet_header_menu.css

Just look for the color commands and change them. They are mostly at the bottom part of the code if memory serves me correct.

Could someone tell me how to find breadcrumbs to turn them off. I do not see this in the admin.

Thank you
LadyDee

Configuration > Layout Settings > Define Breadcrumb Status > 0 (or 3 to just switch them off on the homepage)

I put the status to 0 and can still see them. WebSite is http://lightingmadesimple.com/
I do not want them and the drop down box, if I can not remove them can they be changed to something else?

Thank you
LadyDee

Those aren't breadcrumbs, thats Category Tabs

Configuration > Layout Settings > Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF

Thank you. I really appreciate your help. Now I can get it looking like I want it. Again thank you.

LadyDee

No problem. Your site's starting to look good. Stick with it, you're getting there :smile:

Thank you for saying that. I must say this is a wonderful community forum and everyone is very helpful and I am learning from all this, plus documentating what I am learning if needed again.

I had used it before, but it never came out this nice.

Thanks to everyone.
LadyDee

When I said I had used it before I meant Zen_Cart. I have a client problem. He like the drop down, however he want the categories removed and everything else to stay there. I turned the category_tabs back on because he wanted them back on.

How would I removed the categories from here, I believe this reads the database.

Thank you
LadyDee
