I think your making it more complicated then it has to be... All i need to do is make the 3rd level and up not display...

All i need to do is make the 3rd level and up not display...

jfreak, Try this....find this section of code in you stylesheet_categories_menu.css:

div#nav-cat ul.level1 li.submenu:hover ul.level2, 
div#nav-cat ul.level2 li.submenu:hover ul.level3,
div#nav-cat ul.level3 li.submenu:hover ul.level4,
div#nav-cat ul.level4 li.submenu:hover ul.level5,
div#nav-cat ul.level5 li.submenu:hover ul.level6 {
        display:block; 
        background-color: #228B22;
}
```And change it to this:

div#nav-cat ul.level1 li.submenu:hover ul.level2,
div#nav-cat ul.level2 li.submenu:hover ul.level3
{
display:block;
background-color: #228B22;
}

div#nav-cat ul.level3 li.submenu:hover ul.level4,
div#nav-cat ul.level4 li.submenu:hover ul.level5,
div#nav-cat ul.level5 li.submenu:hover ul.level6 {
display:none;
}

And this will hide everything beyond the second level:

div#nav-cat ul.level1 li.submenu:hover ul.level2

{
display:block;
background-color: #228B22;
}
div#nav-cat ul.level2 li.submenu:hover ul.level3,
div#nav-cat ul.level3 li.submenu:hover ul.level4,
div#nav-cat ul.level4 li.submenu:hover ul.level5,
div#nav-cat ul.level5 li.submenu:hover ul.level6 {
display:none;
}

Hope this helps.

Naaa, I just remember when I only had 3 posts, and how hard it was to figure out just how ANYTHING in the ZC file system worked, looking for an answer in so many different threads thousands of posts, and the hundreds of mods to be added....."Does that do what I want/need? Can I understand this enough to customize it? Can I find people who are willing to help without thinking I'm a total dumb-A. S. S. ?

And I promised that what I learned in this forum, I would share in this forum. So, I NEVER forget my "Days of Learning", which, are still EVERY single day.

This may have been asked but I am very illiterate when it comes to this. I installed the CSS flyout menu myself. (Very proud of myself) and even changed the images.

Now I am stuck. Here are my questions...

1. How do I get the brown border off my categories? It's around each one individually.

2. When I redid the images for each category for this, I made them wider since it's cutting off some of the words but it didn't change it. How can I change the size of the categories both the one that is there initially and the one that pulls out.

3. Where in general do I find where to change font size, color, style of my categories?

4. I don't want specials, new products or all products to be part of the fly out menu. How can I change that?

Okay I think those are all of my questions for now.

This question has already been answered:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=582401&postcount=49
look at this and subsequent posts, the solution is posted a few posts down that one.
All the rest are CSS issues, not related to this mod.
You can can post those issues in the CSS forum.
Do yourself a favor and get the free Web Developer toolbar for Firefox, Information --> Display Element Information, will show you exactly what element is causing grief, you then fix it in the stylesheet.
If you still have issues, PM your troubles with a link, one by one, and, when I have time, will answer.

Actually, these questions have already been answered in a p.m., which I forgot to post so others could benefit from it, and was as follows:

Sorry for taking so long. Been busy. You might want to check out post #282. You can use that css to start with, as everything is "mapped out".....much easier to follow.

Looks like you solved the border problem?

The links at the bottom of the sidebox is controlled from:
Admin>Layout Settings

• Categories Box - Show Specials Link

• Categories Box - Show Products New Link

• Categories Box - Show Featured Products Link

• Categories Box - Show Products All Link

Hope this helps. Now, as far as anything NOT being relevant.....(CK) . If you didn't know this mod as well as you do, you would think that EVERY DETAIL of this mod was controlled by one of the files that came with it, when of course, some of the actual "controls" are as stated above, and will NOT be over-ridden by this mod.........AND some of the CSS is still controlled from your regular "stylesheet.css" unless commented out......like the font size and color for the heading, among others.

So, with that in mind, let's not be so quick to judge if a question is relevant, or not. O.k.?

And, if someone does post an "irrelevant" question..........Try to act like a proffessional about it, instead of being so damn rude. I mean, if the question makes you irretated......SIMPLY DON'T REPLY!!.......I WILL be around to answer the questions about this mod, sooner or later. If it's urgent, anybody can p.m. me.

NEWS TO ALL

The new CSS Flyout Menu 1.3.8 HAS been submitted, and is awaiting approval from the Dev Team. It contains no images, but does have the new css with "color-mapped" flyouts, along with the new "scroll" feature. Hope everybody enjoys.
(If you can't wait that long, p.m. me, and I'll send it to you).

Enjoy,
Robert

CK. Sorry about being so "blunt", but people are starting to get "afraid" to post a question in this thread. Just asking you to ease up and enjoy life a little. And remember........YOU were once a noob in this forum, also. No hard feelings.....?

I still am a noob in many things.
I offered to answer all the remaining questions via PM in order not to clog this thread.
I have seen threads that go on and on, with same answers to same questions, and they become useless because nobody can find anything in them, so they post the same questions.
I will gladly pass the mantle to you and hope you answer questions in a timely manner.

See........that's what I was afraid of........hard feelings, on your part. I wasn't trying to get hateful, just trying to re-gain a little hope in the eyes of people who do want to post in here, but are afraid to.

And......."PASS"........."PASS"? Pass what? Don't forget to look at post #1 in this thread, again, and let me know what you're gonna "PASS".

Although, I really enjoy working with you (could use you on my team at my site).........I was just saying, "Take a chill pill", and not scare people off.

And, I'm done with that subject, because I truly don't like "airing" differences (that really don't matter in the first place) in public forums. Especially when I'm trying to start a business that deals with this program (Zen-Cart), and this program alone.

Oh,........and it's irrelevant to the thread.

Get Em Fast:

And......."PASS"........."PASS"? Pass what?
Thanks for your kind offer of using me on your team, but I think I'm going to pass.
Coming from a guy who went AWOL twice and left questions hanging for months, even after stating that he was back and stronger than ever
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=567803&postcount=17
your rants about my "rudeness" seem somewhat ludicrous.
Good luck with "your" thread.

ck, that's fine. I knew you couldn't have this conversation without getting "peeved".........just not in your nature, lately. What happened to you, anyway, man? You used to be so nice and cheereful, now all anybody sees is just downright rudeness. I'm sorry for your mis-fortune.....whatever it may be, that's made life so "sour" for you. I hope you find what you need to make life happy, again........REAL SOON.

GOOD NEWS ALL!!


The new release of the CSS Flyout Menu is now available for download HERE.


Special thanks to ckosloff for supplying the new csshover.htc & the time he spent answering questions in this thread.

Get Em Fast:

...just not in your nature, lately. What happened to you, anyway, man? You used to be so nice and cheereful, now all anybody sees is just downright rudeness. I'm sorry for your mis-fortune...
There seems to be no limit for you blathering nonsense.
You know nothing about me and yet you get delusional about some misfortune souring me.
For your information: my "rudeness" is simply the Zen Cart team's policy.
They promote a manual in order not to have the forums flooded with unrelated questions.
If people are too lazy to follow the learning curve: buy the manual, build test sites and try to find answers on their own, the guys who have done that only do them a favor by pointing them to that path.
The forums are a place for guys who have done that and post legitimate questions about mods, not page layout questions.
If you think that everybody who downloads free software, wishes to make a quick buck and floods the forums with basic questions deserves to be helped, go ahead and do it, you are on your own.
If you like to be swamped by crap, I believe you are enjoying that taste lately.
Now quit flooding your own thread with your personal rants and misjudgements.
Cut the crap, stop the BS, shut up.

:no: Mmm-mmm-mmmm. Yep. I'm done. Whew!
Back to business.
You?
Please?

Ok, almost afraid to post this question...

I changed the css and managed to get this look:
https://www.planetebio.net

Looks and runs fine in FF, however in IE 7 the submenus do not stay ( like the hyperlink hotspot is only on the text and not the whole cell)

Any input would be well apreciated.

I don't see any submenus at all in IE6, just the top-level categories.

Looks great in FF though. The transparent submenus are a nice effect.

Could you post the CSS you're using?

I have not yet put the logic for IE 6, I also tested today in IE 6 (got the same as you). I have not YET asked the author of the css for permission to use....
I want to implement before ...

Google - Any width flyout menu

The origional css works in IE 7 and FF have not yet tested it with IE 6.

Well Finally got the look and feel I was looking for.

Thanks to Get Em Fast for a great job at making the CSS accessible and Stu Nicholls for the look and feel.

Cheers !

You need to disable ZC categories menu.
Admin --> Tools --> Layout Boxes Controller: sidebox categories.php OFF

johnny43:

...Stu Nicholls...
How can I contact Stu Nicholls?

I'm having issues with the plugin seeing the css, the menu is generated, but no css?
