♥kymation Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 From a really quick test: The menu is too wide for a stock osC store (At the top level). The arrows don't appear.

♥kymation Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I should have mentioned that was in Firefox 21 on Linux. An equally quick check in Chromium 25.0.1364.160 shows the same thing, so it's probably something in my store setup. Order of loading CSS/Javascript maybe?

If you can tell me where you see that please. Cleaning up unnecessary files on github is on my to do list as well. Noticed that part of the arrow code was in navbar.css at the very bottom but just leave as do not think matters to us. The navbar.css is not called anyway in template.top as it is only used for horizontal menus so better just to leave. Yes very impressed as well an added benefit I noticed was page speed loads times increased 3% when I used superfish instead of the accordian. Ok have a test and see what you think change the comments I made at the bottom if you can describe better regards John Quote To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.

♥kymation Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 .... page speed loads times increased 3% when I used superfish instead of the accordian.... That's really interesting, considering that the code that builds the categories tree is the same in both. In addition, the accordion menu is a native jQuery UI widget, while Superfish is an addon that requires 5 external files. Logic says that Superfish should be considerably slower. So much for logic. If you want to see a real improvement in load time, move all of your CSS files ahead of the Javascript files in template_top.php. The more external files you have the bigger the difference.

♥kymation Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I copied the HTML from your demo site and mine and compared them with Meld.

Of course all the subcats will be linked. I'm not sure if the coding would be an inconvenience but that would help with larger shops. Thanks for the great contrib.
