main categories drop down list Please help!
PLEASE HELP! Is there a drop down list mod that I can use for my categories that I can create for my main page? My Category list is to long and I am not liking the look. Please help me please. I have been looking all over this forum and I have tried a drop down list that was shared but it will not display my categories. I think it is for an earlier version of x-cart and I have the 4.1.6. Take a look at my site to see what I am talking about. Again please be kind and help me. Thanks in advance.

Re: main categories drop down list Please help!
Inebriate, you showed me how to do this in 2007 with vs 4.1, do you know how to do this category drop down for vs 4.4? It seems the code is very different and the old drop down will not work. This was very helpful in the past. Thank you very much in advance. Shareen

Re: main categories drop down list Please help!
I'd also be interested in how to do drop-down menus in 4.4.x. (and not specifically for categories - products, but rather for the general things a website uses drop-down menus for.)
We had it working on LiteCommerce websites, but can't figure out where to put the couple of javascript codes that are necessary. We thought we had it correct, but it isn't working.

Re: main categories drop down list Please help!
Okay here goes:
Make sure you are using a custom skin. Don't edit a default skin. Flyout Menus module must be active. In your custom skin create the file: modules/Flyout Menus/Icons/fancy_categories.tpl With this content: Code:
In your custom skin create the file: modules/Flyout Menus/Icons/fancy_subcategories.tpl With this content: Code:
customer/head.tpl Where you want the menu to show up add: Code:
Add the following CSS to your css/altskin.css: Code:
Position the container and style the menu as needed. This only provides for one level of drop down, the next level can easily be accommodated by adding to the CSS. Tada!

Re: main categories drop down list Please help!
Mike, you now suggest new files/modules instead of editing core ones for X-Cart 4 changes as well
Nicely done!

Re: main categories drop down list Please help!
You have to remember though when using custom skin and upgrading the cart - all changes to common_files files have to be applied to the custom skin as well. I have seen this when user runs the upgrade and all files are patched by the upgrade script - then they wonder why this or that functionality is not showing....
