♥FWR Media Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) On another note, STS is installed. Should that make a difference? Yup I don't use STS myself but you'll no doubt find that you have to add the code to a template file. Had a look around the forums seems the file may be sts_column_left.php Edited July 21, 2008 by FWR Media Quote Ultimate SEO Urls 5 PRO - Multi Language Modern, Powerful SEO Urls KissMT Dynamic SEO Meta & Canonical Header Tags KissER Error Handling and Debugging KissIT Image Thumbnailer Security Pro - Querystring protection against hackers ( a KISS contribution ) If you found my post useful please click the "Like This" button to the right.

Just out of interest, did you take a look at www.rail-order.co.uk to see what i mean? Could a messed up categories.php file cause a problem also? I'll have a play tonight and report back.

Guest Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I wouldnt recommend installing this contribution if you have quite a lot of sub categories, its imposible for customers to navigate your catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollyno1uk2 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi I have installed this contrib and as per all your contribs so far I am impressed. I have yet to install the additional sitemap sections as I have concerns - my store has over 100,000 products listed. This means that I had to get my previous sitemap file modded to span over several pages as Google has a limit to the product numbers - will I have to get someone to do a similar modification with this? Also can you tell me what if any advantages there would be to including the RSS feed? Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost there I think, I created the filr like you said, got the path, put it in, still the same error, so I tried just creating the file in the temp dir and set it to 777, still the same error. This is how the code looks now. if(false === FWR_MENU_CACHE_PATH) { $cachepath = 'home/httpd/vhosts/gamergalaxy.com.au/httpdocs/temp/'; // Tries to create the cache file in shop root } else $cachepath = constant(FWR_MENU_CACHE_PATH); P.S.

nvbenterprises Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Is it possible to have the links bold when the link is currently being browsed, just as the stock menu. Is this a "styling issue" dealt with under fwr_suckertree_css_menu.php or a code issue? The code from the categories.php is below, I think. However since this contribution is a completely different option, I was seeing if it is even possible to do. if (isset($cPath_array) && in_array($counter, $cPath_array)) { $categories_string .= '<b>'; } // display category name $categories_string .= $tree[$counter]['name']; if (isset($cPath_array) && in_array($counter, $cPath_array)) { $categories_string .= '</b>'; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kru Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) A couple quick tips and a link to our website, where we are using this contrib.... QUICK TIPS: We had two problems with the sub-menus that popped up when 'floating' over the main categories. Both were solved by modifying catalog/fwr_suckertree_css_menu.php... The column was too narrow and long entries were getting wrapped or, in some cases, had scroll bars placed under them so you could scroll to see all the text. Solution: Find the following line of code: width: 129px; /*sub menu width*/. Change the value to a higher number to increase the horizontal size of the sub-menu box. (We had to go all the way to 175.) Long entries that had horizontal scroll bars placed under them prevented the user from rolling the mouse to any entries under the scroll bar. The sub-menu would automatically close. No matter how many times we went back or how we rolled the mouse, the sub-menu always disappeared once we rolled the mouse below the horizontal scroll bar that was appearing. Solution: Implement the code suggested on the first page for adding horizontal lines under each entry in the list. Namely, find the following code: border-bottom: 0;. Change the 0; to 1px dotted #ccc; (We found this fix totally by accident. We were just looking to make the menu entries appear more separated and it fixed our mystery problem...) Link to a LIVE website using this contrib: We saw a couple different user requests for websites that were using this contrib so people could see what it does. We were looking for a website ourselves. We saw a couple posts that appeared promising but they were either dead links or websites that evidentally didn't follow through with this contrib. So we implemented without seeing an example but we were very pleased with the results.

minionsweb Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) I am not having problems per se - the menus just really aren't working, and I suspect the reason is customizations made previous to the installation of this contrib (once again I am sure it is great work). I must see if I saved a revision prior to that implementation (also prior to using a revisioning system like CVS/ perforce/tortois which I do now), and revert those categories edits. The issue(s) - (1) Instead of fly out menus, I have a nested menu (first time in a long time....) but I am getting the cat and first 2 sub cat nestings, nothing after that. The sub cats in our store can nest 4 subcats deep. (2) Another thing, again, as I said, the store is working, the menu is mostly running (just not pop out and not full depth) but I cannot for the life of me determine where categories.ser is supposed to live. Should it be in catalog? Somewhere else? Should I be seeing a ton of tcache files as I am seeing in the root? This is happening in our live store www.minionsweb.com/osStore Some guidance would be appreciated.

minionsweb Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) I have resolved many of my oddities: - includes\column_left.php had not been uploaded tho edits were in place. - reverted to original install of includes\boxes\categories.php. - removed a straggler from the same dir, another categories menu mod all_categories.php The menus now recurse full depth - but they do not escape the categories box and expand it on the fly making for some horrendous page display issues. A tip towards a fix would be appreciated. The sort order in each category does not match how I have them indexed in the admin panel. Is there a way to implement sort (have tried the config console)? I still have not located categories.ser, and have to this point 151 tcache files and counting. Normal? Suggestions?

minionsweb Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Since I am talking to myself, I figured I would provide the solutions as I came across them. To recap: I have resolved many of my oddities:- includes\column_left.php had not been uploaded tho edits were in place. - reverted to original install of includes\boxes\categories.php. - removed a straggler from the same dir, another categories menu mod all_categories.php Moving forward The menus now recurse full depth - but they do not escape the categories box and expand it on the fly making for some horrendous page display issues.A tip towards a fix would be appreciated. This was resolved after discovering a few width elements: catalog\includes\application_top.php around line 60 - changed: define('BOX_WIDTH', 1); // how wide the boxes should be in pixels (default: 125) I believe this was done for flexible column width as suggested by Monika, but I failed to remark the file - coders are their own worst enemies. to: define('BOX_WIDTH', 175); // how wide the boxes should be in pixels (default: 125) This is normally define('BOX_WIDTH', 125); fresh from the gates, in our case this accommodates some long fields in the textboxes, besides we use a 2 column format, not 3. Still no luck with: The sort order in each category does not match how I have them indexed in the admin panel. Is there a way to implement sort (have tried the config console)? And this mostly holds true: I still have not located categories.ser, and have to this point 151 tcache files and counting. Normal? I am well over 200 cache files now. I thought this would be a single cache file not many, any suggestions what to do with them? Perhaps create a separate directory? These are all in the catalog root now. Suggestions?
