Sid04 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I tried this conttibution and all seems to be working well. I would like to verify a couple things....... **ONLY the files in the main CATALOG directory need the following changes, correct? The step after this cleary states in the directions "(only in the /catalog directory, NOT in any further subdirectories like /catalog/includes !!).", but this step didnt: "<!-- coolMenu //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'coolmenu.php'); ?> <!-- coolMenu_eof //-->" **Now it also said to change EVERY file, but some files didnt even contain the HEAD or BODY tags, and a couple other files were a bit different then the majority of the others so I didnt change those either. Could somebody let me know if I need to change the following files in the main catalog directory? checkout_process.php download.php info_shopping_cart.php popup_image.php redirect.php **I also saw that the menu supposedly disappears if you have java disabled. I purposely diabled it and the menu is still showing. Do I have to dump my cache first? Im running 2.2 MS2. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid04 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 also, after the order processes(authoriz.net), on the order completed screen, the menu disappears. It only disappears on that page though. I double checke the CHECKOUT_SUCCUESS.PHP file, and the changes for coolmenu are the same as any other page. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjp Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Sorry hjp, i didn't see your replay. I installed the Coolmenu as you said it in page 50. I'm using STS and all i can see is a blank box saying "coolmenu" in the top. Could you please help me out? Thanks Using my coolmenu contribution I did this: Normally the menu_animation.js file would have to be added on every php page - with a <head> tag in it - in the oscommerce root directory but with the STS this seems not to be nescessary so in stead In /includes/sts_templates.php (around line 29) I put: <html> <head><script LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2" SRC="includes/menu_animation.js"></SCRIPT> <!--$headcontent--> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"> </head> <body> at the top (added the menu_animation file) in /includes/column_left.php I put if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) { echo tep_cache_categories_box(); } else { // include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php'); include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'coolmenu.php'); } The coolmenu.php replaces the original category box and in /includes/footer.php I put <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1"><?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'coolmenu.php'); ?> <tr class="footer"> <td class="footer"> <?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG); ?> </td> added the coolmenu include Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid04 Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 can anybody tell me if I need to modify the following files: checkout_process.php download.php info_shopping_cart.php popup_image.php redirect.php Also, is the menu even SUPPOSE to show on the checkout success page? Id like to make sure this thing is running at 100%. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibak Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 hi, ok. I looked back to see if I could find my answer for why I get blank box for coolmenu but only the STS version was explained.

Yes if you looked through the posts there are more answers to that question. But here it is again: you have to backslash the quote sign like this \' Yep, did that, but then it appears fine in the menu, but all such names contain the \ on the pages, which is not fine. Anyway, I did it by modifying osC so that it stores " & # 3 9 ; " (without the spaces) in place of ' in the DB, which achieves what I need. Anyway Easypopulate already does that, so now my osC is consistent with EP, and coolmenu can display quotes :-) Thanks for your answer.

Look for the variables: oCMenu.fromLeft=10 oCMenu.fromTop=240 These control the position of the menu box. Amend away as required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Ok I have look through all 10 pages of this topic and I am yet to discover is this cool menu ever worked or works with the STS (Latest version). There is a lot of mention of it in here but no difinative answer? I have a bare oscommerce install and STS installed and working. Now i just need to add this cool menu thing. If there is a fix for it can someone give me a link to the right page? Rather than link this topic again!! :) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 (edited) Any clever people got a free moment to help me understand this? Coolmenu has not been resizing itself as I add or remove Top level categories in my catalogue. Waht I have found is this .. If I take the code in 'includes/coolmenu.php' that reads $height.= 2.65*count($categories), somewhere around line #174 and increment by '1' for each top level category it sizes correctly. So, with 4 categoris active I have to set it to 6.65 and for 5 categories to 7.65 and so on .. My suspicion is that somethin is not allowing coolmenu to count my categories (I guess that is waht the 'count($categories)' bit does? Has any wise head got any ideas how so, or why? The results, so far of my amateur thrashing around can be seen at Vending Warehouse btw .. Edited July 25, 2004 by Clueless Git Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Ok I have look through ALL 72 pages of this topic and I have yet to discover how to get this thing to work. I'm using oscommerce-2.2ms2. I've followed the instructions to the TEE!! I've disabled some fo the functions in here so that it is only a catalog, technically that shouldn't have any effect on making this work. When I view the source through a browser, it appears to be creating the menu, but it does not show in the category box. The little hair I haven't pulled out yet is turning gray!! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what most people have done and the menu looks consistant all the time. It only takes a few moments to amend the size once all the categories are in. After all its not very often that you add or remove top level categories. so making the amendment is not a great inconvienience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Matt & Jason I have made Coolmenu work succesfully apart from my above with resizing the category box. Can you both post links to the sites whre you are having problems? I am thinking that if we have each made different aspects of it work then mebbe we can help each other out? As a side note; I read earlier on that code not being offered in the contribution is being used by the author on his own site, it also appears that his one of a very few sites that are not experiencing problems with it.

Yuss, manual resizing is exactly what I have been doing - I found no references to other people having had to do that, untill you posted, tho' .. You are correct imho. Top categories should not change that often so it is not that big a deal. Perhaps I have been sweating the petty stuff when I should have been petting the sweaty stuff? :huh: I am still interested to find out why the auto sizing worketh not, if anybody knows?

The calculation method is wrong. you may calculate the box height dynamically like this: (Notice that you have to substitue A with the heigh of your coolmenu levels) //the code below ajusts the height of the coolmenu dynamically according to the number of categories in the main menu $result=tep_db_query("select parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " where parent_id = '0'"); $height.= A*mysql_num_rows($result)-A; //where A is the height of your oCMenu.level[0].height //experiment with the multiplyer denpending on the size of your menu Edited July 26, 2004 by hjp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
