[dealsondeals]

Thanks bmaworld & john80y!

I haven't really had the opportunity to much more, been busy upstarting a web hosting and design business - http://www.mind-in-design.net But I hope to do some more mods in the near future. I wish you lots of fun with your x-carts.

dairy6888 - please email me so that I can assist you with the problem your experiencing. If possible please email me your categories.tpl file.

Thanks,

Glen

iCARus,

I am not sure what necessarily needs to be fixed without looking at the files in your directories. But, I would recommend checking to make sure you don't have any unintentional or unnecessary white-space, resulting from the process of copying and pasting. Also, be sure that "slidemenu.js" is placed in: xcart/skin1/ . Give it another shot and let me know how you make it. If needed I'll take alook at your set-up.

Regards,

Glen

Finally, I know where the problem is. For all beginner user like me, you have to put the followings script:

under //Image preload .......... and before the {/literal} tag. Then you can see your menu right away!!!

DealonDeals>> Do you have another new version which extract data from db and to form a slide menu?

Also very important, you are already aware that categories.tpl is referenced in the left-hand column of home.tpl, I would recommend either clearing the contents of the left-hand column to contain only categories.tpl or place some items like authbox.tpl above categories.tpl or place them elsewhere on the page.

How would I rearrange my menus? I would Like to place the "specials" menu above the "categories" and move the "help" to the right side at the bottom under news.

I'm just not sure how to edit the home.tpl to do this.

Please help, I'm anxious to try this out!

Jeff

[nuevojefe]

Next time i'll just be brave and try before asking!

That was too easy.

Goooooood x-cart...

dairy6888,

You went to "View Source" in your browser when looking at my page. What you have posted is the result of the script running and querying the DB for the category information. If you choose to hard-code the categories, that is choice you can make. But the script does query the DB and return the results. Please be sure that you have followed all steps. You still have not sent me your categories.tpl as I have requested, so that I can test it.

Regards,

Glen
