It sounds like you need to fix your browser.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

We purchased this mod and have it working. Can someone help me to get the root category not selectable if there is a subcategory. What my employer wants is when the mouse rolls over the menu if there is only a root category, then this will be selectable; otherwise if there is a subcategory-sub subcategory, then the root category is not selectable only the flyout subcategory-sub subcategory will be. Any suggestions are welcome.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

The mod designer should be able to help you better than I can but why do you not want your root categories linked? They would still be linked from the breadcrumb trail regardless. If there are not products in the root category it is the perfect place for "featured products", or other content depending on how creative you are.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

My thought is to have a write up about the product(s) in the category as an intro and selling point, but this request is coming from my co-worker. I have contacted the mod designer in 2-3 emails asking for a quote if this is possible, but he's fallen off responding.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

I got the vertical and horizontal flyout category menu as part of the SEO Friendly Template v4.1.8 purchased from PhilJ and it works well.
Unfortunately the subcategories keep collapsing when I hover over the subcategories menu. I've tried everything and can't get it to work. I've e-mailed PhilJ a couple of times over the last few months well I've been developing the site but now I'm getting closer to finishing I really need this to be sorted out and I haven't heard a booh or a bah from him.

I tested it with the original template I bought before I modded it and same problem.
Anybody else had this?

Regards,
Conrad

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Hi Conrad, get in touch and we should be able to sort it out.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Thanks, send you a PM last night.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

The problem appears to be Safari only. I think it is because you have some broken images that the browser is trying to load from localhost 192.168.0.8 - If you wait a while and let the page elements load fully, the menus work fine. So the issue is not related to the menus.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Hi Phil,
I would agree with that based on the symptoms but I get it with the default SEO friendly template as a default install before modifying. Mainly on the longer menus.
I've created a new VMware server with the default install to double check but it's still an issue so it can't be broken images that I've created.Expecting visitors to your site to wait until the menu sorts itself out is likely to aggravate them.
I would agree that it's Safari for XP only, I don't own a MAC so can't check against a MAC safari version.

Please would you have a look again on the same details I PM'd you it will show you the default install with the same problem.
I'm using Safari 4 after having the same problem with Safari 3.2

Conrad

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Take that as a couldn't be bothered then....

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Hi,

We have Phil's 4 Level Vertical Flyout menu which works fine for us on most browsers but on Safari, although it initially displays, if you move your mouse over one of the submenus, the submenu disappears when the pointer is halfway down which is quite irritating. Is this meant to be fully compatible with Safari?

Also, it takes a while for the Menu flyout capability to load. We have about 30 odd categories but it's still a few seconds for the menu to get to the point where the flyout works. Anyone else have this?

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Hi Dan,

This is exactly the same problem I've got with this mod, did you buy it seperately or as part of a custom template? Mine was included with SEO skin 4.18 by PhilJ. If you read back in this posting you will find previous postings I've made on this.
PhilJ said it's because I've got broken image links, which I can't find any evidence of and his skin when loaded has exactly the same problem so my modification isn't the primary issue. I tried to be decent about it because I don't like kicking up a stink and really needed help on this but he didn't reply after that. I haven't come across the issue with slow menu flyout because my system isn't live yet so don't have that many products but it's making me sweat already.

It's frustrating to purchase something in good faith and then find it's not working properly and even worse there's no support on it. Let me know if you find the answer please or if I can help you in any way then please PM me.

Conrad

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Dan, Conrad... These menus are going to be fixed for Safari and you can get free updates, just keep checking the website over the next day or two.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Thanks Phil, if I recall doesn't your system email the file once it's purchased? Just wondering how I actually get the update as I don't remember a download area.

Thanks again

Dan

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Okay.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Can someone tell me where to see some examples of this fly out menu?

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Hi Mike, have a look at xcartmods.co.uk and you will find it listed. The menu has some issues at the moment so you may want to wait until Phil has had time to work on it, Dan and I will be using the update when it's resolved and post here if it's working properly.

Regards,

Conrad

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Cool, thanks!

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Hi Phil, is there an update on this? I know you said check the website but how do I actually get hold of the updated version of it?

Thanks

Dan

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Yep, I've also been keeping an eye out for it. It's one of the main bugs in my site at the moment.

Conrad

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Conrad and Dan, PM me your details and I'll send you the updated files. Not sure if it categorically fixes the Safari issue, it's not an easy thing to pinpoint.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Hi,
i am using 4.2 and i cannot find
include/categories.php

any help would be appreciated!

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Hi,
These flyout menus have issues with Safari, which remain a mystery as to the solution.

If I was you I would just change up to 4.3 and use the fancy categories that's included in the package.
:-)

Regards,

Conrad

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

The menu works GREAT!
I am as new as they come in regards to X-cart and i have to admit that it was overwhelming at first. (plus, i hate feeling like i don't already know everything! :))

But, Phil has been beyond helpful!!!. I have never had as much willing support from a developer before. I will definitely be spreading the word.

THANKS SO MUCH PHIL! :D/

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

How does it seem in Safari??
And I'm not going against Phil his work is excellant but the menus have a problem with Safari that can't be resolved which is why I said you might as well change up to 4.3 and use the fancy categories.

Conrad

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

The menus seem to be working flawlessly in safari! The site is still under construction and we haven't added any 3rd or 4th sub levels yet. But, as far as menu/sub menu hover functionality, it looks good.

take a peek if you would like:

Phil,
I need the installation files again for our site. I have contacted you via your web store as well as a PM on the forum. None of our log in credentials seem to work on your site.

We are on 4.2 and need the 4 lvl vert menus. Our license will be under utopiatools.com
