Categories DHTML Menu

sheetal · **Posted:** Mon Mar 14, 2005 10:05 am

Thanks for who made this DHML Categories Menu.
I don't know where I downloaded, modified a bit to work with all default 4 templates destributed with CRELoaded. Tested with IE and Mozilla, works great.

sheetal,

I have installed this infobox for use on the CREloaded template you made. It works great!! The only problem is that the bottom of the infobox is missing.. and I cannot seem to find the code that fixes it. Everytime I get the bottom of the box to show up... it makes the box empty!
I renamed the file to categoriesdhtml.php could this be part of the problem?

Can you help?

PS..
I already edited/fixed the Scrolling BestSellers box for this template, if you want it!

How do I install a bullet on this to make it even better?

Looking at a similar contribute it says look for:

// display category name
$tmpString .= $categories['categories_name'];

and replace with:

// display category name
$tmpString .= '<img src=http://www.mysite.com/osc/images/tiny_bullet.gif> ' . $categories['categories_name'];

Only problem is in the file we have it is:

// display category name
$njs_categories_string .= $tree[$counter]['name'];

Now my question is would doing this work or screw it up?

// display category name
$njs_categories_string .= '<img src=http://www.mysite.com/osc/images/tiny_bullet.gif> ' . $tree[$counter]['name'];

If you know the answer please let me know as I have to do a few more edits before I get to this.

Regards

Hi StaceyAnne

I am very impressed with the Scrolling Best Sellers box on your web site and will be extremely grateful if you could tell me how to implement the same on my web site.

I am using the original template with a few simple modifications here and there, but the scrolling images in the best sellers box is what I desperately need.

Your help and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'd be interested in your Messanger infobox and your weather box. I tried one messanger box but the sql file did not like our site.

Create a file called best_sellers_scroll.php and save it to /catalog/templates/yourtemplate/boxes/

insert the following code into the file:

Code:

<?php

  if (isset($current_category_id) && ($current_category_id > 0)) {
    $best_sellers_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, pd.products_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_ordered > 0 and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" .

  }

  if (tep_db_num_rows($best_sellers_query) >= MIN_DISPLAY_BESTSELLERS) {
?>
<!-- best_sellers_scroll //-->
          <tr>
            <td>
<?php
    $info_box_contents = array();
    $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_BESTSELLERS);

    new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

    $rows = 0;
    $bestsellers_list = '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">';
    while ($best_sellers = tep_db_fetch_array($best_sellers_query)) {
      $rows++;
      $bestsellers_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents" valign="top">'  . '</td><td class="infoBoxContents">'. '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $best_sellers['products_id']) .

    }
    $bestsellers_list .= '</table>';

    $info_box_contents = array();
    $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<MARQUEE behavior= "scroll" align= "center" direction= "up" height="160" scrollamount= "2" scrolldelay= "70" onmouseover=\'this.stop()\' onmouseout=\'this.start()\'>'.$bestsellers_list.'</MARQUEE>');

    new $infobox_template($info_box_contents);
$info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left',
                                'text'  => tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '1')

  new infoboxFooter($info_box_contents, true, true);?>
            </td>
          </tr>
<!-- best_sellers_scroll_eof //-->
<?php
  }
?>

save and upload go to infobox control, in admin, click on install and choose the filename.

Infobox heading:
Best Sellers

Which box template:
Infobox

Define Key:
BOX_HEADING_BESTSELLERS

Font Colour whatever the other font colours are in your template.

Hope this helps

Hi Wroughtec

StaceyAnne sure has these very cool boxes, I am after the scrolling images best sellers box.

Both of you appear to have got the DHTML menu working well, any chance of helping me get the menu system ?

I think I will have to trouble you for a lot of help in the very near future, being UK based, I need a lot of advice and guidance on setting up payment modules, etc.

If you are able to shed as much light as possible so that I can get started on the payment modules, I sure will appreciate your assistance.

Thanks

Chris

The above will create the best sellers box

As for payment modules we just use paypal, nochex and cheques as setting up a merchant account in the UK is so expensive.

As for the dhtml have you downloaded and uploaded the files?

Which point are you stuck on.

Also A good place to look for UK sites is:

Be warned though this is designed for oscommerce on its own not loaded but there is some vey useful stuf in here.

Hi Wroughtec

Many thanks for the speedy reply. I have just returned home after a hard days slog at work and regretably, do not have the energy to try anything tonight. I sincerely appreciate your help and with your permission, will contact you for further assistance in the days ahead.

I shall try the above soon and keep you informed.

Thanks again

Chris
