This is an addon to STS to work with Categories Menu Addon found here:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2844

 

OPEN sts_user_code.php:

 

FIND: $template['catmenu'] = $sts_block['catmenu'];

 

ADD AFTER:

$sts_block_name = 'dhtmlmenu';

require(STS_START_CAPTURE);

echo '<script language="JavaScript" src="external/jscookmenu/jscookmenu.js"></script>';

echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="external/jscookmenu/themeie/theme.css" type="text/css">';

echo '<script language="javascript" src="external/jscookmenu/themeie/theme.js"></script>';

echo '<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">' . "n";

echo '<!--' . "n";

echo ' cmDraw('mainmenu', menuID, 'vbr', cmThemeIE, 'themeie');' . "n";

echo ' //-->' . "n";

echo '</script>' . "n";

require(STS_STOP_CAPTURE);

$template['dhtmlmenu'] = $sts_block['dhtmlmenu'];

 

 

Let me know if there are any problems

 

Enjoy!

One more thing....

 

You have to add the newly created tag to all your template files beside $categorybox

 

example:

 

FIND (in one of your STS template files):

<p><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">$categorybox</font></p>

 

REPLACE WITH:

<p><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">$categorybox $dhtmlmenu</font></p>

I tried to add this but when I go to my homepage I now get:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/asiancul/public_html/includes/sts_user_code.php on line 42

 

What could it be?

 

Here is line 42:

 

echo ' cmDraw('mainmenu', menuID, 'vbr', cmThemeIE, 'themeie');' . "n";

 

Thanks!

Sorry, the messageboard took away the backslashes from that line.

 

Here it is again (using the code block as I should have in the first post)

 

$sts_block_name = 'dhtmlmenu';
require(STS_START_CAPTURE);
echo '<script language="JavaScript" src="external/jscookmenu/jscookmenu.js"></script>';
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="external/jscookmenu/themeie/theme.css" type="text/css">';
echo '<script language="javascript" src="external/jscookmenu/themeie/theme.js"></script>';
echo '<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">' . "\n";
echo '<!--' . "\n";
echo ' cmDraw(\'mainmenu\', menuID, \'vbr\', cmThemeIE, \'themeie\');' . "\n";
echo ' //-->' . "\n";
echo '</script>' . "\n";
require(STS_STOP_CAPTURE);
$template['dhtmlmenu'] = $sts_block['dhtmlmenu'];

 

Just to highlight the error line in particular:

echo ' cmDraw(\'mainmenu\', menuID, \'vbr\', cmThemeIE, \'themeie\');' . "\n";

 

Notice the backslashes before the single quotes. Should fix your problem

Yo SteveOh,

 

That code sure did help, I was looking for something like that for my categories and finally you came up with it. I appreciate the time and effort you have put to this..

 

Great Work,

 

Hurray!

Hi,

 

Thanks for this. Just managed to get it all working on my site thanks to this help.

 

As someone with no programming skills, where do I look to change the colour of the background on the dynamic boxes that are generated - the default blue clashes with the design of the rest of my site?

 

Thanks

Chris

But... I am wanting to put a bullet beside the catagories (Like my Information Box)... how would this be done? I have looked and looked at the code.. and I cant figure it out lol... Please advise.. ;) Thanks

Hi guys,

 

I would like to use the DHTML Menu for my categories (I'd like to run it horizontally in my header...that part was easy!), but since I don't have subcategories, I wanted to list the products instead.

 

So I was wondering if there was an easy way to do this...

 

CATEGORY 1 | CATEGORY 2 | etc.

Product 1

Product 2

Product 3

etc...

 

I tried merging the Simple Category/Product Tree module with this one, but I don't have enough coding experience to get it working.

 

Can anyone help with this? :'(

This is a great contribution but I can't get it to work with STS. I made all the changes....with the backslashes and everything but now i get this error:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/.nathaniel/maccimizer/hausofbooks.com/oscom/includes/sts_user_code.php on line 55

 

And here is what is on line 55:

 

function tep_get_category_tree($parent_id = '0', $spacing = '', $exclude = '', $category_tree_array = '', $include_itself = false) {

 

Any ideas??

Did you get Optional Related Products working with STS?

[afmaury]

I have been trying to get this working and am partially successful. The categories show up and the subcategories drop-down. But I can't get the CSS to style the script at all in Internet Explorer. It works fine in Mozilla.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
