kepa Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 *bump* How is coolmenu with thousands of products in categories...does it slow browsing down? Does it query each time it loads? I've installed it successfully, and have 500 products categorized. However I hesitate in going forward with indexing 500 more products if it is going to slow it down...I'll develop another workaround. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

bittercreek Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I installed this menu and tried the one from John Guerra too, but I found the same problem with the two: that is, when going to a page where scrolling fields are (such as categories/manufacturers scrolling boxes in advanced search), these ones cover completely the sub-menus. My setup is a dhtml vertical menu with submenus. John Guerra told me I should check for "Z Order": I read something about it, but anyway, I didn't fix the problem. Any ideas?

esifis Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Many of us has problem with the changes of TB that simplify the installation of cool menu and also not alow to the menu appearing on the page in mid-air before the rest of the page is loaded. I don't know if can help to find a solution but I have notice that in my local installation on my laptop (WIN XP , apache 1.3.27 , php 4.3.1 ) the changes work ok but when I upload to the web the same files (UNIX apache 1.3.28 , php 4.3.3 ) I have the well known error: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/musicora/public_html/catalog/includes/application_top.php:508) in /home/musicora/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/general.php on line 29 I open and save the application_top.php as UNix type but nothing happen.

El Diti Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I?m using IE 6 running over Win 98 and curiosly I see anything than a "normal" cathegories box on your www.geraeteland.de site; in the U.K. guy site I can see pretty well functioning his cool menu -that floats over the central content page- i.e. his scripts works on my browser but yours not; however both sites are very cool!!

hjp Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 I think I shall try to install the coolmenu myself. It looks interesting. I have been reading some of the postings and see that more people are having trouble with header allready sent. So therefore this suggestion, I don't know if it helps in all cases set 'output_buffering = On' (or a value) in the php.ini file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Can anyone help me figure out why the munu wont come up at www.safekicks.com the only thing im using other than this is The STS simple template system... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Aloha! I'm hoping someone can offer me a little guidance here. I installed coolmenu some time ago, but I have modified quite a bit. I wanted the navigation to link to pages outside of the typical products pages in the shopping cart, so I used direct links echo "oCMenu.makeMenu ('top_4','','Portrait of the Subconscious','http://alphabetangel.com/oscom/catalog/portrait_subconscious.php')\n"; My problem is that now, when things are placed in the shopping cart, they don't stay there. I was told I need sessionid. Can someone tell me what I should add to these links so things remain in the cart? THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienation Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Can't find the coolmenu in < http://www.geraeteland.de > But I really like the shadow info boxes. How can I do it? Is it a theme? Is it private? Thx, Miguel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_blueshift Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Just one complaint. The height of the Categories box does not adjust visibly with the number of categories. My guess here is that it does increase its height, it's just that the increase in size by plain text is lest than the increase of the padding of the cells of the coolmenu, causing the coolmenu to overlap the box below it. Also, if I click on a category with a subcategory, the categories box extends beyond the bottom of the coolmenu. This is because the subcategory is placed below the text, eg: Category ----->Subcategory Would it be possible to code it so that the height of the categories box is (amount*count($categories))+(vertical_coolmenu_cell_spacing*(count($categories)) If so, where would I put this? In the coolmenu.php I tried changing "$height.= 2.65*count($categories);" to all different numbers which seemed to have no effect whatsoever on the height of anything. Also, there would need to be something to compensate for the size change of the Categories box when a subcategory is displayed. Here's my site so you can get an idea of what I mean: http://www.plezuretoyz.com/oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/ (I added a test folder so you can see how it shifts with a subcategory) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defender39 Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Has anyone gotten it to be on the right side? And open the windows to the left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niknakgroup Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 :D These are quotes from quite a few pages back - but I dont quite understand how to solve the problem::::: My categories are being displayed at the top of the page and pushing the rest of the HTML down. So, i get this big blank white space at the top with my menu items left justified. Then below the categories is all the HTML. Additionally when I mouse over a menu item, the subcategories display under the parents categories, not to the left of them. The reason for that usually is that coolmenu can't find the sylesheet. (As described a page or two back ) You have to find out why this is the case. My wild guess: maybe your shop is not using the original css file due to some theme or template thingy or something, but you copied the coolmenu styles to the original one, as instructed ->Problem. hey Nils, that was exactly it!! thank you! i installed the thema contribution, so my stylesheet wasn't the one that came ootb. thanks for your response. So, you can sort out the stylesheet problem when you have a template system in place. HOW????? I'm probably being thick, but have tried every variation I can think of and am still stumped. Hopefully one of you lovely people can point out the error of my ways as at the minute I have a lovely big panel saying coolmenu, but no menu.... Quote Please note - if I have suggested a contrib above, it doesnt mean it will work! Most of the contribs are not ones I've used, but may be useful for your particular problem.... Have you tried a refined search? Chances are your problem has already been dealt with elsewhere on the forums..... if (stumped == true) { return(square_one($start_over) } else { $random_query = tep_fetch_answer($forum_query) } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjp Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 I am also trying to construct at site wiht OSC and coolmenu. I have a COOLMENU solution to centered pages. It may solve the problem, that the menu alters alignment ,e.g. when you rezise the browser window. I linked a <div> tag to a picture (e.g. the trans.gif) in one of the boxes. Then I used the trick of finding the position of the <div> in the collmenu script. And so the menu always stays in the box. It works with IE and Nestscape, I don't know about other browsers.

ruta Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 somebody has an expiriense to build coolmenu on BTS v.01? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjp Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Someone mailed me and asked how to get the coolmenu fit in a box. Well this is what I have done - but forget about Opera 6 and 7. I this has to work in those browsers everything has to be rebuild without all those tables within tables. I changed 3 files 1: /catalog/includes/coolmenu.php 2: /catalog/includes/footer.php 3: /catalog/includes/boxes/coolmenu.php 1: in /catalog/includes/coolmenu.php put this code after the <script> tag //Extra code to find position: function findPos(){ if(bw.ns4){ //Netscape 4 x = document.layers.tlayerm.pageX y = document.layers.tlayerm.pageY }else{ //other browsers x=0; y=0; var el,temp el = bw.ie4?document.all["topm"]:document.getElementById("topm"); if(el.offsetParent){ temp = el while(temp.offsetParent){ //Looping parent elements to get the offset of them as well temp=temp.offsetParent; x+=temp.offsetLeft y+=temp.offsetTop } } x+=el.offsetLeft y+=el.offsetTop } //Returning the x and y as an array return [x,y] } oCMenu=new makeCM("oCMenu") //Making the menu object. Argument: menuname pos = findPos() //Menu properties oCMenu.pxBetween=0 //exmperiment with fromleft and fromtop - I use -5 and -7 but you can try something different and place the menu anywhere on the page oCMenu.fromLeft=pos[0]-5 oCMenu.fromTop=pos[1]-7 oCMenu.onresize="location.reload()" oCMenu.rows=0 2: in /catalog/includes/footer.php at the bottom replace this code <tr><td height="150"> </td></tr></table><?php with this code <tr><td height="150"> </td></tr></table><!-- coolMenu //--><?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'coolmenu.php'); ?><!-- coolMenu_eof //--><?php or else place the 'require coolmenu.php' in every single file under /catalog/ just befor the </body> tag (which takes a bit longer). I must not exist elsewhere in the files. 3: in /catalog/includes/boxes/coolmenu.php replace this code $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<img src="images/trans.gif" width="150" height="' . $height . '">'); with this code //the code below ajusts the height of the picture dynamically $result=tep_db_query("select parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " where parent_id = '0'"); $height.= 10*mysql_num_rows($result);//experiment with the multiplyer denpending on the size of your menu - I use 10* $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<td><ilayer id="tlayerm"><div id="topm"><img src="images/trans.gif" width="150" height="' . $height . '"></div></ilayer></td>'); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
