Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

I tried your suggestions and still get the same problem. Im placing the {include file="flyouts/horiz.tpl"} in home.tpl. Im using one of Phil's early releases. I don't see any instructions on modifying the php file(s). Could that be the problem if so what php do I have to modify. Appreciate your help on this. Thanks

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

That's probably your issue... your signature says you are using 4.1.2 and I would guess Phil's early version was not 4.1 friendly.

In my instructions, you have to modify /include/categories.php

I would contact Phil on this.

how can i get flyouts_v4.zip and is it still free

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

I currently have latest version of Fancy Categories. However, this causes my page to load at about 3-4 seconds. I have 180 sub categories.

Can the Vertical Flyout Category menu perform better than Fanncy Categories with this many subcats? Is it recommended to use this product with this many subcats?

Thanks.

Please help

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Based on your link, it appears that your head.tpl is all messed up.

Please post your head.tpl file, and maybe someone can spot it.

OR -- try this... just for kicks --

BACKUP your current head.tpl; replace it with a stock one. Now what happens?

I think something's wrong with head.tpl, casing the entire site to bounce off-right.
ALSO, did you put the entire vFlyouts into its own table? You should. But I don't think your issue is related to that at this point. let's gte the head working first.

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

PS -- the code you're pasting into head.tpl for the vFlyouts is the js link -- somehow, the table layout got knocked off its ass.
Non-related issues.

Carpeperdiem,
Ok restored the head.tpl and well nothing changed hmmmmm

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

Sure it did.

The page now renders correctly, but since there's no reference to the CSS for the flyouts, the flyouts don't work.

Are you viewing this in Firefox? Please do. Until your site works in Firefox, don't think about IE.

NOW -- go back and carefully put in the code into home.tpl that Phil gave you (exactly where he told you to put it, before the </head>) -- there should not be any vFlyout code in head.tpl

Now what happens?

Re: Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu
 

One more thing -- in home.tpl, I think you have a clone of your categories.tpl include.

Please post your home.tpl and we can help you clean it up.
