CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

It is possible to make the menus first level non-proportional (%), with differents widths, adapted to the width of the words ? With 5px padding left and right sides of the words ?


( sorry for my english. I hope my question is clear )

Yes... that is how the menu used to be... until too many people were asking for it this way, LOL.

Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_headermenu.css, and remove from div#dropMenu li:

width:16.667%;
*width:16.649%;

and then change the padding for div#dropMenu li a from:

padding: .6em 0;

to:

padding: .6em 2em;

I am having issues with this addon. I installed to spec and my menu and everything below it is not loading all the way.

Anyone know what the issue is?

Sorry fixed that issue, it was because I didn't rename all the YOUR_TEMPLATE directories

Thanks. But I have already tried and it's not displayed correctly in IE 6.
See the jpg attached.
Other solution ?

remove this from stylesheet_header_menu.css:

  /* Hides from IE5-mac \*/
	height: 1%;
	/* End hide from IE5-mac */

hi I love your CSS drop down box, but I was looking for customize the category section so it just displayed the 1st category where catagories is. As we only have one product type but many sub catagories in it.

Now I could change it so each product is a different catagory but i'd rather change the display code for this.

Now I've checked the code and its during the build branches it does this, I tried to break it down further to come up with an elegant hack, but nothign would work.

I was hoping you could help me out at all?

Thanks for your work!

On a side note I'd also like to know is there a way to show the output from a function other than just echo, exit? As with html it not very visible... (I guess I could check source that's displayed...

I'm a c++ coder so php and the like is somewhat foreign to me...

thanks

I'm not really following what you are trying to do. If you want to limit how deep the menu goes, adjust the $max_level in includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php

Chris,
If you really only have, and will only ever have, one category, it doesn't make sense to use sub-categories. Convert them all to categories and the menu will be a lot simpler.
I had a number of categories, one with many subcategories and the drop down menu became so long that you couldn't reach the bottom of the menu unless you had a wheel mouse, If you left the menu to use the scroll bar at the side of the page, the menu would retract. This was especially bad for viewers with lower resolution screens. I ended up just putting the main categories in the drop down and then putting subcategory links on the category page.

Hi Probably being completely thick but I can't seem to get ride of the categories above my drop down menus... I assume that its completely obvious, but can anyone point be in the right direction pls??

Thanks
