One of the categories on my leftbar cat menu has about 20 subcats. Unfortunately, 20 subcats run the flyout menu for that category off the bottom of the page.
I▓m attempting to change the starting position of the <ul> for the flyout subcat menu (I want to move it up so it doesn▓t run off the page). I▓ve been able to move the flyout subcat menu up, but for some reason a) I▓m losing the first 3-4 subcat menu items (they don▓t show at the top), and b) the <ul> for the FIRST cat menu item lays on top of my flyout subcat menu.
My first thought was, okay, it sounds like a z-index problem. I▓ve dug into the templates, found where I think the <ul> and <li>▓s for the flyout subcat menu is being created (in fancy_subcategories.tpl), but here▓s ⌠the rub■ - when I analyze and step through the code, it appears that fancy_subcategories.tpl is never executed (it doesn▓t show in the Debugging Console template list either). The only thing I see that might be creating the <ul><li> flyout subcat menu is the following statement in fancy_categories.tpl:
if {$fancy_use_cache} {fancycat_get_cache}
I checked, and $fancy_use_cache has a value of 1, which means fancycat_get_cache (which I▓m assuming is an X-Cart defined function) IS executed. Where is this function defined? How do I change it to give higher z-index values to the <li>▓s on my flyout subcat menu?
I▓ve thought about making the font sizes smaller, and decreasing the padding to try and make the flyout subcat menu ⌠fit■ on the page, but my client wants to cater to people with less than perfect eyesight, so that▓s not an option. Going to a horizontal menu won▓t ⌠buy■ me quite enough room either.
Any knowledge of how this works is greatly appreciated.
I'm running X-Cart Pro, v4.4.2.
Thanks!
