Support for CSS Flyout Menu

timdwyer42:

Thanks. When I do that it just lists all my catagories and subcatagories in one long list.

This is just a guess without seeing your site, but it sounds like the problem a lot of us have had. As mentioned previously in the thread, there's a problem uploading one particular file. The file named stylesheet_categories_menu.css that's contained in the current release was accidentally saved as a Unicode file. You need to either a) open the file in Notepad and re-save it as an ANSI file and upload it again, or b) upload it again with your FTP program set to "binary".

I was curious if anyone had tried to make this mod work with images rather than just the colors. And, if so, how to make that happen.

Thanks, as always, in advance.

Hi all,

I just installed CSS Flyout Menu and it does not appear to be working! I installed the the 4 files in their respective folders along with csshover.htc in includes.

Did I do anything wrong, please advise. Thanks****

Did I do anything wrong...
Look at post 361.

Zen Cart -Version 1.3.8
css_flyout_menu_1-3-8

It is not working for me. I have FTP stylesheet_categories_menu.css as **binary ******as well changed the file to ANSI but no luck!

I changed the CSS file URL as well but no luck-

body {
behavior: url(http://www.myexclusiveshop.com/baby/includes/csshover.htc%29;
} /* WinIE behavior call*/

My install URL is - http://www.myexclusiveshop.com/baby/

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed help :(

sathiy1:

body {
behavior: url(http://www.myexclusiveshop.com/baby/includes/csshover.htc);
} /* WinIE behavior call*/
body {
behavior: url(includes/csshover.htc);
} /* WinIE behavior call */
that is the only correct syntax, assuming that csshover.htc is in folder includes.
That is not the URL of your stylesheet, do not modify, it is just the way the stylesheet finds that file.
In your download, open the stylesheet in Notepad (or any other text editor) and save as text, encoding ANSI.
Then reupload everything in exact location, in Tools -> Layout Boxes Controller, disable sideboxes/categories.php
Buy the manual and build a test site or two, that will answer most of your questions.

Look at post 361.

Hi all,

I looked at post 361 and did re-save my file to ANSI and re-uploaded to the right directory - and it still does not work:(!

I have ZC 1.3.8
Any other ideas?

I assuming that it just works automatically, once the files are uploaded. No configurations to set up, right?

Let me rephrase: save file as text, the encoding is ANSI.
Yes, setup is automatic you only need to disable the Zen Cart box, instructions are above.

I think the file in the latest download is currupted.
When I open it there is no coding.
I tried the next earlier version but that did not work.
Is there a way to get the correct stylesheet_categories_menu.css file?

Also some of what you guys are saying doesnt sound right. As an ansi file? whats that? Or just save as stylesheet_categories_menu.css.txt? or just open in a word file and just resave stylesheet_categories_menu.css

:frusty:

I got the mod to work using the earlier versions CSS file.

Okay, So I have a question.
My Flyouts are not working past the length of the Sidebox.

http://www.nothingbutcostumes.com/teststore/index.php?main_page=index

How do I fix that?

And OH Boy do I have to fix the colors.. Wow!

milobloom:

That fix for the stylesheet was posted several times.
I agree that a corrected version should be posted, I am working on one with many improvements and better documentation.
Do you have a style editor?
There are many free ones out there, it shouldn't be that difficult to get them to your liking, nobody can produce a template stylesheet to suit the needs of all users.
Regarding the flyout categories: it's just a question of setting the margin-left to 5px or so, but, beware, it will break IE6.
Just looked at the website you posted, it is just a test site and the installation directory was not even deleted, permissions not set correctly on configure.php.
Better start there.

In TOOLS > LAYOUT BOXES CONTROLLER, is "sideboxes/pure_orange/categories_css.php" set to "ON"?

Good afternoon,

I installed a file that was available in that forum is: css-flyout-categories-v1.3.0.zip and was installed wrong. In other words, the categories do not appear above, appears only new products, special offers, all products.

Someone help me?

google translator, my English is not good

Cumps,

help me please!

It is not clear to me what you downloaded and installed.
If it is v. 1.3.8 (last one in download area), there is a flaw in the css.
This is a recurrent issue in this thread.
Save the file as text, encoding ANSI.
Load all files in correct location, enable sidebox in Admin -> Tools -> Layout Boxes Controller.
Disable stock Zen Cart menu.

Hello, If I install version 1.3.8 which is available on the site looks like this: http://www.eroscandy.com/

I think there's anything wrong in this module.

I told you to save the .css as text, encoding ANSI.
