CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

Could you give me a coding example of how I could put a Cateory next to the information box? I took a look at includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php but it is still beyond me.
thanks,
Airtime

Just do it with regular 'ole html, mimicking the category HTML that is produced by viewing the source of your site, something like this:

<li class="submenu"><a href="index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=1">Main Category Name</a>
  <ul class="level2">
    <li><a href="index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=2">Subcategory A</a></li>
    <li class="submenu"><a href="index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=3">SubCategory B</a>
      <ul class="level3">
        <li class="submenu"> <a href="index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=4">Sub Sub Category of B</a>
          <ul class="level4">
            <li> <a href="index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=5">Sub Sub Sub Category of B</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </ul>
</li>

Hi there

I have installed your menu however i am having problems with the width of the menu. I dont want the menu to go all the way to the right edge of the page, i want it to stay in the middle so that my site's background is still visible.

Hello, Jettrue:

I added your CCS drop down header menu onto my site. www.loveinrose.com. It looks good. Thank you for your constribution!

You said I can add or delete links on the header menu by working on include/template/your template/tpi_header.php.

I want to add a link of "the latest news" (instead of in the sidebox), below the "Home", under "Search" (you will see "seach" when you hover on "HOME".

Could you please tell me how to do it? My site is www.loveinrose.com. Thank you!!

Actually, in the readme.txt, I have this:

You can add or remove links from the header menu by opening up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_drop_menu.php.

But if you open the above file, you can simple add the link right after this:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SEARCH; ?></a></li>

Like This:

<li><a href="index.php?main_page=news_archiv">Name of link here</a></li>

This may be a repost, but "Discount Coupons" is misspelled...
and I noticed on some users' sites that they still have the typo in their dropdown menu.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner, looks like you've gotten it figured out!

Thanks! Someone caught that before, but I had forgotten to fix it. Its now been updated on my puter, so the next upgrade won't have the issue.
