ricoMenu Rico Accordion menu for osCommerce Admin

[IssacharWEB]

Hello everybody,

 

Let's make this forum the place for discussing and improving the ricoMenu contribution and ways we could improve it. I am waiting to hear your comments on what you think of it.

Hi!

 

Have tried to install the Rico menu, but the instructions are not the best. I have red them a couple of times now and still don't get the menu to work correctly.

 

Anyone have any better instructions?

 

Regards,

 

Gustav.

Could you explain what part you are having difficulties with? Maybe this would help me improve the instructions.

 

Thanks,

ricoMenu has been updated with new instructions. Step two should read:

 

Copy the javascript files into the admin/includes/javascript/ folder (usually catalog/admin/includes/javascript).

 

instead of:

 

Create a folder in the admin includes folder (usually /catalog/admin/includes/) called 'javascript'.

 

I have tested the instructions stepby step on a brand new instalation of osCommerce. Please excuse the mistake.

It seems like you may have 2 problems:

 

1 - you have boxes (admin/includes/boxes) that are not default to osCommerce, and therefore will have to be modified to work with the ricoMenu. If you send me the files for the "extra" boxes I can edit them to work with the menu. If you want to try editing them yourself compare them to the other boxes provided in the package. Here is the Catalog Box file for example:

 

echo ('<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS . '</a>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . '</a>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_MANUFACTURERS, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_MANUFACTURERS . '</a>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_REVIEWS, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_REVIEWS . '</a>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_SPECIALS . '</a>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED . '</a>');

 

Notice that the header was removed (and moved to column_left.php) and the file now writes only the links, no divs or anything else wrapping them.

 

Also make sure Column Left is writing the following structure for each box:

 

<div id="BOXNAME">

<div id="BOXNAMEHeader">

BOXNAME Header

</div>

<div id="BOXNAMEContent">

BOX CONTENT

</div>

</div>

 

2- it seems like you may have not set the correct width (described in the instructions) or that you may have a single word pushing past the width limits (TEXT_BOX_BLA_BLA_HEADING_BLA, for example). But I cannot tell if this is the case by the image posted. If you could post a complete image of the menu it would help, but try fixing problem 1 first.

 

Note: all tabs should look like the last one and then collapse on top of eachother.
