Just cut the part between:

<style type="text/css">

and

</style>

and paste it into stylesheet.css.

Then the above tags can be removed from categories_css.php

I really like you CSS Menu. I installed it last night and it works great. Thanks for the contribution.
I do have a question. I know nothing about CSS but is there a way to make it only do the first subcategory and not any other sub category after that? Also instead of flying out to the right or left can it be a vertical pull down (for lack of a better term)?

Here is an example site with categories that pull down.
http://www.flashdesigntemplates.com/imageviewerplus_xl/

Click on the "Launch popup screen" selection and then take a look at there categories and you will see what I mean.

Thanks

Can you update this to hide categories with no products? Or an option to?

[insomniac2]

Ya you can hide cats with 0 prods:


Find the first section:

while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {

if ($parent_id == '0') {
$categories_array[] = array('id' => $categories['categories_id'],
'text' => $indent . $categories['categories_name']);
} else {
$categories_array[] = array('id' => $path . $parent_id . '_' . $categories['categories_id'],
'text' => $indent . $categories['categories_name']);
}


CHANGE TO:

while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {

if (!tep_count_products_in_category($categories['categories_id']) == 0) { // line added do not show categories with 0 products mod

if ($parent_id == '0') {
$categories_array[] = array('id' => $categories['categories_id'],
'text' => $indent . $categories['categories_name']);
} else {
$categories_array[] = array('id' => $path . $parent_id . '_' . $categories['categories_id'],
'text' => $indent . $categories['categories_name']);
}
} // line added from do not show categories with 0 products mod


Find the next section:

while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {
if ($start_path == '') {
$grouppath = $categories['categories_id'];
} else {
$grouppath = $start_path . '_' . $categories['categories_id'];
}
$cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $grouppath;


CHANGE TO:

while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {
if (!tep_count_products_in_category($categories['categories_id']) == 0) { // line added do not show categories with 0 products mod
if ($start_path == '') {
$grouppath = $categories['categories_id'];
} else {
$grouppath = $start_path . '_' . $categories['categories_id'];
}
$cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $grouppath;


And lastly find:

$returnval .= "<li><a href='" . $categories_string . "'>" . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/arrow_red.gif', 'Available Selections', '4', '8') . '&nbsp;&nbsp;' . $categories['categories_name'] . "</a>";


CHANGE TO:

$returnval .= "<li><a href='" . $categories_string . "'>" . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/arrow_red.gif', 'Available Selections', '4', '8') . '&nbsp;&nbsp;' . $categories['categories_name'] . "</a>";

} // line added from do not show categories with 0 products mod

This is excellent conrtibution! Today I installed 3 different menus...oh what a pain, but then I discovered this...ahhh....excellent! Thank you very much!

[fear4me]

I'll release version 0.2 today with the option build in to show / hide subcategories with 0 items. I also added a cache-part, so the menu gets cached by osCommerce (thanks to 100asa).

Thanks...excellent contribution!

Only problem i've got :
When i enable sts, my categories is not displaying correctly anymore.

With STS enabled i've edited file : sts_column_left.php (categories.php to categories_css.php)

When i disable STS, everything displays 100% again!

Any help!

Thanks

Unfortunately I haven't got the time to test using STS. I'm not sure how STS exactly calls the categories-menu. What do you see when you include CSS Menu in STS? Do you have an URL?

[olivierk74]

Basically the categories displays almost the same as by default.

Great Contribution, as it just displays categories at the moment, does anymore plan to take this down to product level, be nice to have the complete inventory of products under the list.....

or am i missing something

You could cut the part at categories_css.php between <style .... and </style> and paste it into your stylesheet.css. Than this piece of code should also work with STS.

I think it would be useful that when someone finds their way through the menu to the spot they're at, the category they're in expands just like the original osc menu (like it shows all the subcategories underneath) so they dont have to navigate through the menu just to let's say, go to another subcategory in the same category. This make sense?

How do you add images?

This is a great contribution

[racelinedigital]

I don't really want the CSS Menu now, but I'd like to keep the option of turning off menus with no products. Is there another contribution that does this, or can someone help me take out the necessary code and put it into my 'categories.php'?

Thanks!
Lisa

PS - this is a great contribution, I just cannot get it to work with the 'Simple Template System' contribution.

[Dennis_gull]

Is there any way to make the picture fade when you hold over it? like on Vmotions site.

Hi & thanks for this contribution. It has been very easy to install with brilliant functionality.

I have an issue using it though, it's not cos of the actual coding but just because of the way my site is setup.
The issue I am having is that I have an iframe which displays a gallery on the main page and although the menu works perfectly, when I get certain sub-categories inline with my iframe, they display but get hidden behind the iframe.

Is there a setting either in this menu or maybe in the iframe that i can adjust to make the menu stay in the foreground so it doesn't get hidden?

Any suggestions would be apprecited.

To see the issue I am having you can visit my test site
