Horizontal and Vertical Flyout Category Menu

iblazed · #81 02-08-2007, 07:39 PM

I tried your suggestions and still get the same problem. Im placing the {include file="flyouts/horiz.tpl"} in home.tpl. Im using one of Phil's early releases. I don't see any instructions on modifying the php file(s). Could that be the problem if so what php do I have to modify. Appreciate your help on this. Thanks

That's probably your issue... your signature says you are using 4.1.2 and I would guess Phil's early version was not 4.1 friendly.

In my instructions, you have to modify /include/categories.php

I would contact Phil on this.

I currently have latest version of Fancy Categories. However, this causes my page to load at about 3-4 seconds. I have 180 sub categories.

Can the Vertical Flyout Category menu perform better than Fanncy Categories with this many subcats? Is it recommended to use this product with this many subcats?

Thanks.

Based on your link, it appears that your head.tpl is all messed up.

Please post your head.tpl file, and maybe someone can spot it.

OR -- try this... just for kicks --

BACKUP your current head.tpl; replace it with a stock one. Now what happens?

I think something's wrong with head.tpl, casing the entire site to bounce off-right.
ALSO, did you put the entire vFlyouts into its own table? You should. But I don't think your issue is related to that at this point. let's gte the head working first.

PS -- the code you're pasting into head.tpl for the vFlyouts is the js link -- somehow, the table layout got knocked off its ass.
Non-related issues.

Sure it did.

The page now renders correctly, but since there's no reference to the CSS for the flyouts, the flyouts don't work.

Are you viewing this in Firefox? Please do. Until your site works in Firefox, don't think about IE.

NOW -- go back and carefully put in the code into home.tpl that Phil gave you (exactly where he told you to put it, before the </head>) -- there should not be any vFlyout code in head.tpl

Now what happens?

One more thing -- in home.tpl, I think you have a clone of your categories.tpl include.

Please post your home.tpl and we can help you clean it up.
