hehe, yeah! ... I'm still not that impressed by FC.
Mine's only 7k, easy to customise and SE friendly.

So does it now do sub-sub-categories or did you just fix the broken link part?

No, but I'm working on one that does. The broken link is fixed in this one.

unable to read resource: "flyouts/vert.tpl"

Check the tpl file and the ' include file= ' file url

I can't figure this thing out. I guess I am going to have to get somebody to fix it for me.

The Smarty code used to generate the menu categories will NOT work in V4.1.0, because x-cart have changed the way the php code builds the $allcategories, $categories and $subcategories arrays..

X-cart say this was done to reduce memory usuage and load time.

I discovered this problem with the other Free Menu from the authors website (the multi-colour menu) which works OK in V4.0.18 and has 2 sub levels. I only use 2 colours and have written Smarty and JavaScript code to auto generate the menu categories for V4.0.18.

I'm about to add a 3rd sub level and modify my auto menu generation code to work with the new php categories arrays in V4.1.0.

Anyone using code to access the any of the categories arrays, should note that the php code has changed the way the categories are built in Version 4.1.0.

Also Don't forget that the DOCTYPE in V4.1.0 is now Xhtml Transitional compliant The full DOCTYPE declaration can be seen in file 'customer/home.tpl
