CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

Hello, I tried to take out the Categories in the dropdown menu because I have them as a side menu, discount coupon and the About us, I did this in tpl_drop menu

How do I remove them from the menu header completely?

Thank you in advance for your help.

What did you do in tpl_drop_menu.php? You take this part out:

      <li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?></a>
        <?php

 // load the UL-generator class and produce the menu list dynamically from there
 require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php');
 $zen_CategoriesUL = new zen_categories_ul_generator;
 $menulist = $zen_CategoriesUL->buildTree(true);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level4"','"level5"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level3"','"level4"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level2"','"level3"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level1"','"level2"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('<li class="submenu">','<li class="submenu">',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace("</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n","</li>\n</ul>\n",$menulist);
 echo $menulist;
?>
      
      </li>

Ahh.....jben, you are on here today. Did I do something to offend you, as I was trying to help with this issue. The menu's you asked me to do for you is in the code that I p.m.'d you. It IS without the categories. I will post it here. If you want it, then, by all means, here it is:

?>
<!-- menu area -->

<div id="dropMenuWrapper">
<div id="dropMenu">
<ul class="level1">
<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a>
<ul class="level2">
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_NEW_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ALL); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ALL_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SPECIALS; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SEARCH; ?></a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a>
<ul class="level2">
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_NEWSLETTERS, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_NEWSLETTERS; ?></a></li>
<?php } else { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a>
<ul class="level2">
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } else { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>



<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SHIPPING_INFO; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_PRIVACY_POLICY; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS); ?>"><?php echo TERMS; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US; ?></a></li>


<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SITE_MAP; ?></a></li>

</ul>
</div>







<div class="clearBoth"></div>



And, again, I'm sorry if I somehow offended you, or just didn't help enough. I could have done all of this FOR you, but didn't figure that you would let a total stranger into your server, so I never asked for the info.

Hello, Get' em fast, you have helped me tremendously, I really appreciate it. I am just exploring all avenues, because I would really like to learn about this from all different aspects of the zen cart, the good the bad, that is the only way I will learn this stuff.

I will pm you later, I fixed it thanks to you, I just wanted to see if there was another way, thats all. Thank you because I was getting an error, but it's perfect now, go take a look!

THANK YOU HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

O.k. I understand totally. I've done the same thing a hundred times in here, but I just had to know if you were doing the same, or if I done something wrong. Glad to hear your answer.

Hello Jade and all, this is my very first post, I waited as long as I could to join in...

-I installed the DD menu and thought I did everything right, but my general content (except for above elements like logo is gone!) I used to have a 'Specials' box, 'New Products for May' boxes, etc...

-Also, when I scroll between first and second header items, the screen shifts left to right constantly.

Bear with me I am very very new to this but a fast learner and I don't want to give up. Before I post a link, is there anything I should 'protect' first?? (Sorry..'hate being a newbie...

TIA,
Tatiana

Oh and I get these messages under 'Newsletter Unsubscribe'... I didn't tinker much so I'm baffled why it would happen... help?

Thanks, Tat.

Looks like there's a problem with finding tpl_drop_menu.php or ezpages_drop_menu.php. Confirm that it is uploaded correctly.

I'm assuming your above "sidenboxes" is just a typo, and its actually uploaded to a folder named "sideboxes"?
