Which tells us what?

Which tells you that the problem mentioned is fixed.

Again, since you don't seem to get it, this forum is an RSS feed of the posts at osCommerce.com, it even says so in the description of this forum:

"New osCommerce Contributions RSS feed of the newest osCommerce contributions"

[php4ever]

Ohh damn, now I feel like a retard. I totally spaced the notion that it was an RSS feed. My bad. Well where is the information about CSS menu in osCMax?

there is no css menu in osCMax.

There is the coolmenu, the standard menu or the dhtml menu.

Any chance of integrating CSS Menu? I am running the Dhtml menu and it appears slow, and would not load in opera (which like no one uses, but still). I think a straight css menu might run better

I have a CSS Menu based on the suckerfish menu that is all CSS.

It essentially turns the menu into an unordered list and then you apply CSS as best you see fit. I've not ported it to osCMax as of yet because no one ever responded to my posts about it so I figured no one wanted it. It works fine in CRE Loaded and my osCommerce version is working but not yet in osCMax.

It will make your commerce categories menu look like this in say a store that sells various items.

<ul class="oscmenu">
<li><a href="http://somewhere">Software</a></li>
<li><a href="http://somewhere">Hardware</a></li>
<li><a href="http://somewhere">Otherware</a></li>
<li><a href="http://somewhere">Underwear</a></li>
<li><a href="http://somewhere">Where Again</a>

<ul class="submenu">
<li><a href="http://somewhere">Sub One</a></li>
<li><a href="http://somewhere">Sub Two</a></li>
<li><a href="http://somewhere">Sub Three</a></li>
</ul>

</li>
<li><a href="http://somewhere">Bottomware</a></li>
</ul>

The resulting list menu would then look like

• Software
• Hardware
• Otherware
• Underwear
• Where Again
  • Sub One
  • Sub Two
  • Sub Three
• Bottomware

You then just style in your CSS the way you want the menu to behave. I did a few with JQuery, one with MOOTOOLS and naturally the standard suckerfish method which gives you a nice cascading menu either top down or left to right.

I'll make it a contribution just as soon as I can get my new design up on my site. If someone is PRESSED and cant wait I suppose I could get it modified today.

I'm actually working on that same menu. I just don't understand the BTS system so I'm not too sure how to structure that part of the file. I can get it to work, but it's just not integrated well enough yet.

[php4ever]

Yeah I'll dig it out of the archive and get to work on it. It works in CRELoaded just fine so it should, in theory, work with the OSCMAX BTS implementation easily.

I'd have to verify it first though.

No hurry, my site is live with the Dhtml menu and that works ok. I just find that it is slow and doesn't work on everyones browser.
