"Dynamenu" for osCommerce

[gimmedonuts]

Hey, still no reply to my question, so maybe let me ask it like this: has anybody seen dynamenu working like I want it to behave (see quote below)?

 

If not I guess I will try to use another menu...and if you have suggestions as to what other menu to use to achieve my goal, i'm listening ;)

 

 

I want that when I click on a sucategory and it moves to that subcategory page, the menu actually expands to show all the subcategories of this category and stays expanded (like in the basic osC menu, not in the fly-out style), while the other categories are still fly out menus (and the subcategories of those subcategories too). I thought this might be in the configuration at the beginning of dm_categories.php but actually nothing gave this result....also couldn't find anything on the forum. Any help is appreciated!

 

[Guest]

I do have that code at the bottom of both of those files, but is it possible I've placed it wrongly or something?

 

 

I hope this is not the way you have it like it is listed in your reply:

// Output the footer for Dynamenu for osCommercecho $GLOBALS

['dmfooter'];

 

It is hard to tell what is wrong since I dont know your configuration of Dynamenu.

 

But as I can see from your source (mouce right click and click "View Source") Dynamenu is not present as it should.

 

Find this line in your index.php or your template index file:

<div id="website_name">Out Beyond The Dune Sea</div>

Try to remove the closing div tag (</div>) and see if something happens...

[discobob83]

It did look like that, but I'd only just done that (I have tried coipying and pasting a number of variations of the code) It now looks like this: (Is this still wrong?)

 

?>

<br>

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr>

<td align="center"><?php echo tep_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></td>

</tr>

</table>

<?php

}

// START STS 4.1

}

// END STS 4.1

// Output the footer for Dynamenu for osCommerce

echo $GLOBALS['dmfooter'];

?>

 

 

It is hard to tell what is wrong since I dont know your configuration of Dynamenu.

 

This is my dm_categories file:

 

<?php

/*

$Id: dm_categories.php,v 1.00 2006/05/07 01:13:58 nate_02631 Exp $

 

Ties the store category menu into the PHP Layers Menu library, allowing display

of categories as DTHML drop-down or fly-out menus, collapsable tree-style menus

or horizontal/vertical indented plain menus.

Find this line in your index.php or your template index file:

Try to remove the closing div tag (</div>) and see if something happens...

 

I couldn't find this line in my index.php file and the template folder doesn't have an index file. My includes/modules/sts folder has a file called sts_index.php but that doesn't have that line either (I tried using the edit/find... function to be sure but could find no reference to the website name at all.) I know I'm doing something wrong and probably being iincredibly stupid, but I'm not worries about my pride, I just want to figure out how to make it work.

 

Thanks again for taking the time to help. It means a lot.

Looks ok now.. And now the rest of the Dynamenu code (That I said was missing) is listed in your source..

If you dont have a grep program then download one and search for website_name in all your .php .htm .html files, then you should find it..

 

btw: your dm_categories.php file looks ok for now..

 

[discobob83]

Hi Sijo,

 

Cool thanks! I just downloaded the grep program and that worked.

 

I found this line in my sts_template.html file:

 

<div id="website_name"><?php echo STORE_NAME; ?></div>

 

and this in my template stylesheet:

 

div#website_name {

 

z-index: 8;

 

position: absolute;

 

top: 0px;

 

color: #000000;

 

text-align: right;

 

width: 800px;

 

top: 240px;

 

left: 50%;

 

margin-left: -350px;

 

font-size: 8px;

 

letter-spacing: 1.5px;

 

}

 

Should I remove the </div> from the end of:

 

<div id="website_name"><?php echo STORE_NAME; ?></div>

 

Thanks aain,

 

Tom

[discobob83]

Hi Sijo,

 

Whoah! Progress!!

 

Ok I removed the </div> and now when I hover over the menu the subcategory boxes appear but they are floating out in the middle of the page.

 

Is this something I can remedy in the styleshhet or in dm_categories.php?

 

I am just so happy to have made some progress. You are awesome!! How did you know to remove the </div> tag and why did that work?

 

Thanks so, so much!!!!

 

My very best wishes,

Glad you made it..

You can play with this in dm_categories.php :

$menu_layer_offset = array (0,4,4);

I'm using (-42,4,4) on my site.

 

You can also try this:

Put the </div> closing tag back where it was and put this line under like this:

<div id="website_name"><?php echo STORE_NAME; ?></div>
<div id="menu_test">

Then in your stylesheet put this:

div#menu_test {  
z-index: 8;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
}

This is what I have done here

 

I am just so happy to have made some progress. You are awesome!! How did you know to remove the </div> tag and why did that work?

 

When I installed Dynamenu on my site months back, I used hours of testing before I did find this solution

[discobob83]

Hi Sijo,

 

Thanks so much! That's worked perfectly. The flyout is working and the boxes are positioned correctly.

 

I don't know how you solved this problem, but I'm incredibly thankful that you did.

Hi SIJO

 

I am looking myself crazy for the double // but i can not find them , i also found more instances of the // thing , so something obviously is wrong here.

 

 

And now Discobob83 says he has this in his sts-templates.html:

 

<div id="website_name"><?php echo STORE_NAME; ?></div>

 

wich i also not seem to have.

Do these things relate to each other ??

 

Gr, Rob

 

 

 

 

ps, to work on and compare files i have UltraEdit.

Hi SIJO

 

I am looking myself crazy for the double // but i can not find them , i also found more instances of the // thing , so something obviously is wrong here.

Since I dont have your source, I cant tell you where it is. You have to search your files for keywords to find it..

Also look in your catalog/includes/configure.php file..

 

And now Discobob83 says he has this in his sts-templates.html:

 

<div id="website_name"><?php echo STORE_NAME; ?></div>

 

wich i also not seem to have.

 

Again, search your files for website_name ..

(Your Dynamenu is working so you dont really need to search for it..)

I'm only using the Vertical Fly-Out part in my CSS and it only uses .dmselected and .verbar .dmselected at the end. Could there be something from the OSC part of the CSS overriding this font color? Thank you for your help, I definitely appreciate it!

Not sure if you've solved this issue yet, but i've found a solution.

 

For all those not able to get the .dmselected class working, you need to set the class to work on a link, so:

 

.dmselected a {}

 

This worked for me anyway, after pulling out most of my hair...

Hello: Apologies if this has been discussed already.I have two levels hierarchy. I would like to show the first level in bold. This is what it looks like now.

-------------------------------------

Woolen

Jackets

Hats

Mittens

Cotton

Shirts

Jackets

Full T-Shirts

 

I want it to look like this:

-------------------------------------

CATALOG

Woolen

Jackets

Hats

Mittens

Cotton

Shirts

Jackets

Full T-Shirts

 

Also, how do I go about adding the text CATALOG at the top (I would like to set a background colour and text colour for this.)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all

 

Just to let you know , i had a problem in my includes/configure.php file wich had:

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '//');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '//');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '//');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '//');

 

 

these should have just one /

 

I changed that and all is fine.

 

Thanks to mrphil and Paul who pointed it out to me.

Hi,

 

Im trying to get Dynamenu to output the Horizontal Drop-down root catagories into two rows is this possible?

 

please see http://www.dev.countybatteryservices.co.uk/

I don't know how to do this in dynamenu, but the "Category Tabs with Subs" contribution lets you have multiple rows for the categories, and you could also try using the Suckerfish Menu css type menu setup for your categories.

I did have that working at one time, then had to remove it, and I don't remember exactly how I did it.You should remove that silly nowrap="nowrap" from the template in any case. Then, find this code in your stylesheet (two places)

white-space: nowrap;

and change it to this

white-space: normal;

That should fix the problem.

 

Regards

Jim

I am trying to do this too. I have tried using the suggestion by Jim but this word wraps multi word category names onto new lines, not rows for multiple lines of categories. Has anyone successfully used Dynamenu to output the Horizontal Drop-down root categories into two rows??? I'd love to know as its got me stumped!

[Tom-]

Where can I download the latest full package of this Contribution?

 

The history tab was confusing as most of them say "Not a full package"?

 

Many thanks.

 

Cheers

This may have already been asked but, if so, I have done a search and must have overlooked it. I apologize in advance if this has happened. Ok, I'm using a vertical fly-out menu and I have subcategories. Well, the way I have my items set up has created a problem. I'll give you an example. I have a category called "Christmas" and within it I have gift items. But I also have a subcategory for "ornaments". So, in my menu, the Christmas items and the subcategory "ornaments" folder fly-out together in a list. Well, when I started looking through my menu on my site, I noticed that it places the items in my Christmas category above the "ornaments" subcategory in the list. It's kind of easy to miss the subcategories unless you're specifically looking for the arrow because it is at the bottom of the list. Okay, so I was brainstorming and thought that I'd like two out of these three things to solve my problem. I want the first thing for sure and then I'd choose between the 2nd and 3rd things.

 

1) I want my subcategories to be at the top of the list and then the category items to be below them. Is that possible?

 

2) I'd like my subcategory folder to have a different background color than the category items (if possible).....or......

 

3) I'd like to make my category folders and items to have regular text but my subcategory folders to be in bold.

 

Can anyone tell me which files I might look in to change this? If the code is in PHP, can someone help? (If it's HTML, I can fix it, myself)

 

Okay, problem number two. When I set my Dynamenu to show up NOT in a box, all of the other boxes on my page stretch out to take up the width of the page and squeeze my text and my "New Products" box to the bottom. How can I keep this from happening? I really like the menu to NOT be enclosed in a box. If it helps to tell you....I have STS installed but turned off at this moment. I plan to use it but I haven't played around with it yet. That will come over the next week or so.

 

Thanks in advance for any replies! I do know a little bit about HTML (can write basics) and PHP (can get a basic understanding of what I'm looking at but haven't written any). I'm learning as I go, though.

Hi

 

Great contribution but it took me days!!! to get it working properly, I am using STS 4.6 and Dynamenu. I wanted to have a horizontal menu without the box around it - so to display the menu output only.

 

Could I get this to work - yes eventualy, my problem was that if I had $show_dmcats_as_box = true; in boxes/dm_categories.php the menu worked fine but there was a box around the menu that didn't fit in with the design. If I set it to $show_dmcats_as_box = false; the main categories were displayed correctly but now drop down menus appeared whatever I tried.

 

I eventually copied the following and pasted it just before the $dmbox$ in my design and all is fine, for some reason when the $show_dmcats_as_box = was set to false the javascript did not appear.

I hope this tip helps others in the same position.

You can also try this:

Put the </div> closing tag back where it was and put this line under like this:

<div id="website_name"><?php echo STORE_NAME; ?></div>
<div id="menu_test">

Then in your stylesheet put this:

div#menu_test {  
z-index: 8;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
}

Where can I download the latest full package of this Contribution?

 

The history tab was confusing as most of them say "Not a full package"?

 

Many thanks.

After that, implement what you want from the fixes and updates you find on the same side.

Will someone please help me before I go insane?!!!! I am using the freeosc_60 template with the vertical fly-out menu and FOR THE LIFE OF ME I cannot get the menu to fly-out. Do I have this in the wrong place?

 

// Output the footer for Dynamenu for osCommerce

echo $GLOBALS['dmfooter'];

 

I have it at the bottom of my stylesheet. Is that wrong?! Will someone please help?! I've tried and tried and I can't get it to work!
