Thanks goto Nate for his origional code which was used to get the catagories working here.

The majority of the code below comes from the phplayersmenu download
using the horizontal & vertical menus example.

Of course this is open source, you have the freedom to make the choice of whatever
licence you wish to use as long as it remains open. ;o)

p.s. I have removed the boxes. My personal choice. Replace them if you wish.
But backup and test. It shouldn't matter though.


DYNAMENU VERTICAL CATAGORIES FLYOUT & HORIZONTAL NAVIGATION DROPDOWN.

ALSO WORKS ANYWHERE, EG EXTERNALLY TO OSCOMMERCE CATALOG DIRECTORY.

COMBINE WITH STS_EXTERNAL_PAGES_TEMPLATES AND YOU HAVE THE MAKINGS OF A BRILLIANT SITE.

Many people have asked as well as myself for two flyout menus on the same page. one vertical catagories, (sometimes two for other contribs) and one horizontal dropdown for navigation.

My contribution sts_external_pages_templates allows all the template formats to be used externally to osc for say detailed product pages, journals, news, about_us, extra contacts etc etc

the horizontal links jump to each page (see my web site for an example - live but still no sales ;o( not bothered)

the good news is tonight i have hacked both dynamenu and phplayersmenu

DYNAMENU_GONE_NUTS_BONKERS - this currently has two flyout menus as mentioned above however they are only the menu_types 0 & 1. I am seeking to fill everyones wishes by going the whole hog and making every possible phplayersmenu type all available on the same page without conflict. alas i have a little more work to do....

dynamenu works externally from osc anywhere [changed the paths definations etc]

hope you can have a little patience but because i dont im going to put up the rough draught that works anywhere. it's more of a demo. you can hack and play from there. give me a couple of more days and the twists and turns should be crinkle free and it will work with sts. i'll also include a full descriptive doccumentation for all those newbies like i use to be....

This page will be the building ground for bundled packs of contributions.

Currently the list stands at:

Register Globals
STS
HTC
Dynamenu
and sts new pages

the second contribution is an extension to sts that allows the template and osc content to be used in files outside the catalog directory for full flexability and for easy update to the layout of all website files for newbies. inc myself.

stsmegapowerpack already exists under the stspowerpack contrib page by bkellum. and i wont waste space here copying it accross. instead i am starting with my 2nd contrib as described above.

many thanks for all you lovely people who have built contribs, now ive had a taste of it (4weeks doing this one alone - doh!) i hope you enjoy.
