4 Level SEO friendly Flyout Menus - 4.1.x compatible

2coolbaby · #21 07-25-2008, 01:46 PM

Does anyone know how I can get rid of that ugly plus sign that is before any categories that have a subcategory? Probably something simple, but I can't figure it out.

goto menu.tpl

look for this line

{assign var=subcatSymbol value='<b id="floatingBold">+</b>'}

just remove the +

This mod works great on 4.1.9

Amost bought a the mod.

Thanks

I assume you've done this:

open /home.php.
Find:

Code:

define('OFFERS_DONT_SHOW_NEW',1);
require "./auth.php";

After, add:

Code:

/* Makes fly-out menus show all levels properly */
define("GET_ALL_CATEGORIES", true);

Now do the same for manufacturers.php and product.php

Since there appears to several variations with this mod is there a recommendation for which to use with the latest version (4.1.11, and also 4.1.10) of X-cart? Right now I am using the 4-level vertical flyout menu from xcartmods.co.uk but it doesn't validate for XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

PhilJ · #26 09-16-2008, 05:56 AM

@ JWait, it should validate, unless you are using an older version of the mod.

JWait · #27 09-16-2008, 07:39 AM

The errors I get are...

Code:

#  Error  Line 201, Column 4: end tag for "ul" which is not finished.

</ul>

✉

Most likely, you nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example <p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before <p>. Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p>

Another possibility is that you used an element which requires a child element that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not finished", not complete. For instance, in HTML the <head> element must contain a <title> child element, lists (ul, ol, dl) require list items (li, or dt, dd), and so on.

I think it has to do with the fact that the tags are nested (and are unclosed) which isn't allowed for XHTML 1.0 Transitional from what I understand. The instructions said something about using HTML 4.01 Transitional (with a loose.dtd) but that doesn't validate with the rest of the page.
The version I have probably is an older version as I wasn't even aware there is a newer one.

I have 3 root level categories that are not showing up when I use this modification in 4.1.9. All three categories have category ids in the 100s (179, 184, 194). This is the only commonality between the categories that I can see. I have tried switching the sort order thinking it might be limiting the number of root categories it was showing to 10, but that does not help. All of the subcategories do show up for the root categories that work (even those with category ids in the 100s (e.g. 172) ).

The only other similarity is that these 3 categories do not have any subcategories. However, I added fake subcategories and products into those subcategories, cleared the template cache, cleared the browser cache and still the root level categories did not appear.

Any thoughts?

Hey dudes,
We've added the 4 level flyout menus and it works fine! Thanks. Now we would like to change the vertical flyout menu into a horizontal flyout menu... We really don't have a clue where to start

. Is there anyone who knows what we should change????

Thanks in advance!
Greetings from cold rainy Holland!
