CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[lindasdd]

I posted this in a stand alone thread so I apologize mods for the duplicate, but I'm pretty certain I will be able to assistance from this thread - plus my "problem" displays some customization possible with this MOD.

I put my Manufacturers dropdown list in the dropdown menu. But, I'm having issues with the list closing prematurely. You can see an example at www.lindastestsite.com

Any thoughts on why? I'm assuming it is related to how the Manufacturers dropdown is interacting with the CSS Dropdown Menu.

I previously posted that I fixed this by changing the Manufacturer Box to display 20 entries. Apparently I spoke to soon as it is working in most browsers but not in Chrome. If any has any ideas on why that might be let me know.

I reactivated the sideboxContainer div in the manufacturer file and that did the trick.

Can anyone tell me how to fix the breadcrumb trail issue? I've scanned through the forum and haven't found a solution. I love the mod but really need the full breadcrumb trail too (it doesn't show parent categories when a subcategory is chosen in the dropdown menu).

I'm using Zen 1.3.9 and mod CSS Horizontal Dropdown Menu With jquery version 2.0.

Thanks in advance,

Nice catch. I didn't even realizing it was handling it that way. I don't have an answer.

The 'breadcrumb' issue is a bit inherent to Zen Cart. The 'trail' is generated from where you come from rather than the category structure. Why? Because it needs to cover the situation of linked products. So, if the same product appears in two categories then the breadcrumb needs to reflect what category you have arrived from because the category structure alone is ambiguous.

This creates a problem any time you reach a product from outside the normal path. If anyone knows of an existing fix for this I would be really interested in it. Otherwise I am going to have to work on an alternative version of breadcrumbs in the next few days. I can't see how one might both cover linked products and cover the situation where you arrive at a product from outside the normal trail ( any bright ideas would be accepted with thanks) . So I was thinking of a version that covered the second situation but not the first.

This has been asked about and I thought I'd post a link to the solution in case it is needed/asked about.

Using hideCategories with CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories

WOW! This thread has been growing just too long!

May I suggest the OP to compile different suggestion/discussion here and correct any errors found and create a new version and then publish the new version?

I believe that can make later reader easier to understand and use the addon.

To myself, I have been lost in the thread and my menu isn't working like I want, not anyone's fault, my own bad, but reading over 200 pages posts is a mission impossible to me. And to many other people, I guess.

The breadcrumb issue is inherent to the case of arriving at a product not through a category, but using the dropdown menu is using the category structure. So this issue is a shortcoming of the menu, and theoretically ought to be fixable.

OP is LONG gone.. This is open source though.. So you or someone else is totally free to volunteer to "compile different suggestion/discussion here and correct any errors found and create a new version and then publish the new version"...

I really would like to volunteer on this, however, I am just a new beginner of zencart, I am afraid I am not capable to do this.
