iv found it simple up to now..

im trying to install the UDM so i can have dropdown menu when the customer hovers over the relevent title (to make my site more easy to navigate)

im following this website,

www.udm4.com/manual/oscommerce/#upload

iv got in to the index.php and iv done the first 3 codes. but im not sure iv done them correctly and the 4th code, the last one i cant figure out where i put it.

getting rather lost with it all but desparately need it doing.

my email address is [email protected] iam on msn now, if anyone can help or talk me through it could you add me and chat to me quickly to make sure im doing it correct please?

kind regards

Kelly

Try posting the instructions and the code you want to "insert".

Not many people are going to go hunting around to see what your problem is.

♥geoffreywalton · June 20, 2009

Might be better to post in the udm forum

http://www.udm4.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=12

You probably need to add it to /includes/column_left in place of the categories menu.

kmorris · June 20, 2009

Ok thankyou, ill try the other forum...

thanks

kmorris · June 20, 2009

I cant register on that forum, for some reason the site is only displaying half the page ? :-S

so if anyone can advise me on the above issues, id be extremerly greatful.. anyone used to UDM etc?

thanks,

Kelly

kmorris · June 21, 2009

sorry , just bumping it back up to see if anyone can help? as i cant register on the UDM forum for some reason..

thanks

kelly

multimixer · June 21, 2009

I just registered very easily here

I think there was already a discussion about this, you can find it here

Or maybe you just perform a search for "udm"?

An other option to get this effect is with "dynamenu", I got it from the contributions sections, search for it

kmorris · June 21, 2009

Well i cant register, iv tried and clicked your link but it only shows up half of the page... its not loading a full page.

iv already got dynamenu help up and UDM help up, its where to put the code im struggling with, like i said before by following these its the last one i cant figure it out.

and like i said in the very 1st post.... this is my 1st attempt and any help would be greatly appreciated as iv never done any of this before!! which is why iam trying to learn and asking for advice on it!

multimixer · June 21, 2009

Well, I can not help you with registering neither with udm issues, but if you need any help with installing the dynamenu contribution, I can share the experience I got installing it with you

kmorris · June 21, 2009

Well, I can not help you with registering neither with udm issues, but if you need any help with installing the dynamenu contribution, I can share the experience I got installing it with you

Hi

thankyou for that, much appreciated.. my email address is [email protected] do you use msn or anything that you could help me run thru it on easier??

if you see my previous msg where i have coloured the bits i need help with etc, is that easy to understand? as thats what my issue is.. as im new to it, iv attempted it but stuck on the last part.. and as i cant register on the actual UDM forum for some bizzar reason i need all the help i can get with it, so i dont mess up my webiste..

thanks for this,

kind regards
