♥altoid Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yes see Jim has the code commented out do not know why. I personally prefer without the heading as the picture speaks for itself. Agree with this. No heading needed I think as it speaks for itself as is. Quote I am not a professional webmaster or PHP coder by background or training but I will try to help as best I can.

♥altoid Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Just discovered the jQuery Migrate TOOL a while back when trying to sort an issue / conflict I was getting between quick checkout ( by matt ) , categories accordion menu (j Jim ) and jquery-1.10.1.min.js. there is also a minified version. That issue is something I've noticed and the somewhat cumbersome getting updates..recoding to keep things current. Deferring to Jim.

♥kymation Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 The heading code is commented out because it was originally designed for a dropdown button that was in the header. It would be possible to add a heading to this, but it would not look good. I tried this with the Accordion menu and removed it for that reason. Possibly it could be an option here. I still don't like the way the UI is applied to the top-level categories. It's spanning all of the category boxes instead of being applied to each one individually. This looks weird with any of the 3D button effects. jQuery Migrate would probably be a good addition to osC, but it's not really related to what we're trying to do here. Maybe it could be included as an extra if anyone wants it. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

♥altoid Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I enabled cache on a shop I am running this add on with and got a nasty error so I disabled cache for just the superfish box add on until that's working correctly. Probably something I did in the cache.php file where I added the accordion category cache code then tried to modify it tomake it fit superfish, Didn't work. Update here: https://github.com/skleiner/sf-menu/commit/2bd3c58e011acf7d576e3d9652ce6df8fc9420b2 Did the disable cache thing in case someone downloads the code to try out so they won't have problems from my attempt.

♥kymation Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I had some time so I did some work on this. It's still not the way I'd like it to work, but it's getting there. The following changes have been incorporated: The top-level categories are now correctly formatted with the jQuery UI theme -- except for the mouseover. That's still Superfish. The lower-level categories are still controlled by the Superfish CSS. That's because I prefer it this way. If you think otherwise please say so. The header/title is now an available option. It appears only if there is text in the Title box in the Admin. Cache now works. Changes were made to /catalog/ext/jquery/superfish/css/superfish.css, /catalog/includes/functions/cache.php, and /catalog/includes/modules/boxes/bm_categories_superfish.php. You will need to uninstall the module, then upload the new files and reinstall. The code is here. Comments/code/bugs are welcome.

♥altoid Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Formatting looks nice. --First run.....Products header won't disappear if I let the admin control space blank, or even change it to another word like Categories. Second run....uninstalled module like I was supposed to...re uploaded cache.php and bm_categories_superfish.php files...reinstalled module and voila!! --Module isn't showing in admin>tools>cache control. --Categories still aren't sorting as supposed to when compared to stock categories box.

♥kymation Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I usually manage cache via FTP, so I forgot about the cache control. Thanks for reminding me. I've changed the sort order and added the cache manager changes. In my default install of osC, all of the category sort order values are set to 0. That leaves the category/subcategory sort order somewhat random. I changed the code to default to the categories_id if the sort_order is not set. The result is still different from the stock osC. If you want to change the order, I suggest that you set the sort order in the category admin. The code is here. The cache function and the module files have been changed, and two new files added to the admin. Thanks for the bug reports.

I checked the work folder and saw where it was caching superfish yesterday anyway so now I understand what Jim meant by doing that via ftp. Anyway, I am going to try Jolis css out and see what that looks like. Which brings up that once Jim posts this I can see down the road a spike in "how do you make it look this way or that way" support questions. Maybe in the extras folder toss in a couple of css files for users to try if they want different styling? Beyond that they can figure it out for themselves or hire a pro. I may make a new branch on the github site for all this just for different styling. If I can figure out how to do that.

♥kymation Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 The support after the release of an addon is often more time-consuming than the original release. Often it's things that are already explained in the instructions. At least we don't have that problem here.... Don't ask me about Github. I'm still trying to figure that out.

Guest Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Hi Regarding posts 66 & 67. If I can install this, and play around with it and its still going. With my limited knowledge, then there shouldn't be many questions. Mine runs smoothly. However when I enabled the cache I got an error message regarding the Shop by Price add on I have installed, I fixed it (not sure if its the right thing to do, but everything seems to work) by commenting out (//) ............ function execute() { global $SID, $oscTemplate; if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) { /*should be set true*/ // $output = tep_cache_SHOP_BY_PRICE_box(); } else { $output = $this->getData(); } $oscTemplate->addBlock($output, $this->group); ........... } in bm_shop_by_price.php } Thanks you guys so much.
