i have a flash swf file on the left side and the menu on the right, so the menu branches off to load more categories , but since i added this flash image on the right, the menu loads UNDER the flash image, is there any way for me to make the menu load on TOP of anything and everything?


thanks

nevermind i found a fix!!

wmode='transparent' width='425' height='355' add this to your flash code and menu will load on top!

Hi, I like this contribution, but I want select just one or two categories ID to be visible in the css menu, (not enable/disable cat) in a standart categories box it's easy (id = '100' for the example) but I really do not arrive there

$categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '100' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id='" . (int)$languages_id ."' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");

thank you for your assistance, and forgiveness for my bad English.

How can i modify the configure_css.php so that after its been clicked a category, the category text turns BOLD or the clicked category box to change color (so that the client knows which category he is browsing through) ?

Hi All,

Thanks for that great looking contribution. I started reading the whole thread, but 10pages is too much ., so here is my question (may be answered already):
How can I make it work after STS has been installed? and also sorry for my dumb question, but why is this right below the categories and how can I get rid of it?
"BOX_INFORMATION_ALLPRODS
BOX_SPECIALS_ALLPRODS
BOX_WHATSNEW_ALLPRODS "

Also by default the background color of the categories is black, how do I change it?

Thx again.

HI,

Now want test Search Engine Friendly URL v1.11.zip but when i switch "Go to Configuration/Cache and turn on Caching"

This is the error:

Quote

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in .......\includes\boxes\categories_css.php on line 251

can help me?

I've just added a little mod.

It stores the output of the css menu in a cache file. But it lacks of an admin section mod to update the cache file when the categories structure is changed (add a new category or delete a new one).

I hope you find this mod useful as long as it saves a lot of database queries.

when i try to use the categories_css it gives me this error, without sts, with sts it gets worst :s

[yatahaze]

There is a firefox compatibility bug with this. If there is a category with only inactive items in it, the very first category in the menu will always list the subcategories, regardless of what category you are hovering over. I'm pretty sure this only happens when "hide empty categories" is turned on.

Less important, but still viable:

There is also lots of excess UL and LI openings and closings that cause there to be gaps where empty categories are. Basically they aren't being completely hidden.

The W3C validator complains a lot about the code generated by this menu as well, mostly to do with the hidden empty categories.

I figured out what the problem is, I'm just not sure how to solve it. It's all of the excess list items at the end of the menu.

I was messing with the generated source code in dreamweaver. At the end of all the list items I changed the following from this:

</li></ul></li><ul><ul></ul><ul></ul><ul></ul><ul></ul><ul></ul><ul></ul></ul></ul></div></td>

to this:

</li></ul></li></li></ul></div></td>

The menu went back to functioning normally.

Now the script that generates the menu needs to be fixed. I'm not quite sure how to do that.

Hey mikefrombg

This worked for my install with OSC RC2.2a and STS 4.5.8 Note: I used CSS Menu ver 0.3, once you get this working you can tweek it with the updates from later versions as I have not tested it with later versions.
FOR STS USERS ONLY! AND MAKE A BACKUP OF ALL EFFECTED FILES FIRST SO IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG YOU CAN GET BACK TO A WORKING STATE.
Upload included files from the contrib first : )

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
catalog/includes column_left.php

Find:

} else {
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php');

Change to:

} else {
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories_css.php');

The only thing you realy do here is change the portion 'categories.php' to 'categories_css.php'

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

catalog/includes/functions cache.php

Find:

ob_start();
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php');

great contribution(one year that i have this menu)...work well in IE6 and Firefox 2...the problem is in IE7, anyone can help me.

is there a space between categories....like that:

[img]http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn64/CarlsF/CSS_MENU.jpg[/img]

[sitefire]

Wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue or knows a fix.
When you first load your page if you click on one of the css menu links it reloads the same page, the second and all other clicks in the same browser session work fine, just the first click.
It looks like its some type of cache issue.
This is the same in Firefox or IE
Anyone have a clue as to what the issue is?
I'm using ver 3 CSS Menu as most of the later fixes didn't affect my setup.

Hi

I have installed this menu and have it up and running fine.

I have also installed the cache add-on which is caching the menu however it is also caching the session ID. This is not good as all customers will get the same oscsid.

Can anyone help to remove the session from the cache and then add it back to the right customer.

Here is the code from jamartin’s contribution

INSTRUCTIONS:

in catalog/includes/boxes/categories_css.php

almost in the Enf of the File Find:

  $info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES);

  new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false);

  $info_box_contents = array();


After that insert:

  if (!file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/cache/categories.css.php')){
	  $categories_content = PrintSubMenus( 0, $languages_id, '' );
	$cache= '<?php
			$categories_content = "' . str_replace( '"', '\"',  $categories_content) . '";
			?>';
	$fp = fopen(DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/cache/categories.css.php' , 'w');
	$fout = fwrite($fp , $cache);
	fclose($fp);
  }  else {
	  require(DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/cache/categories.css.php');
  }


Find:

  $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => PrintSubMenus( 0, $languages_id, '' ) );

And Replace with:

  $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $categories_content );

Thanks

Ken

[ultras.nick]

I have installed css_menu, but I have a display problem.

On my shop around the category box, a white border appears, like in the picture below.

Can someone tell me how can I get rid of that border?

Can this be because I use a bought template?

Thanks in advance.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
