Dhtml Menu does not display.

[Walter]

Hello,

I have just started modifying OscMax latest version on my local computer. I chose Dhtml in the Configuration section of the admin as the instructions from other posts have indicated.

I have added some categories but to no avail.

Your help in getting this menu displayed will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Walter

I installed oscommerce 2.2 rc1, and up to rc3 and i can't get dhtml to work. I just get blank categories everytime. These are clean installs. In Mozilla Firefox i checked the Javascript console and this is what it says. Is anybody else getting these errors in the dhtml menu? And any suggestions how to get this thing to work? I searched the forums etc and didn't find anything.

Also cool menu doesn't work properly because it doesn't put it under categories but just to the left of it?

I also tried it in explorer and

Error 'StartTop'is undefined

Hi,

Having some problems with the CoolMenu. I've enabled it through the admin console fine and have worked out how to change the colours/style of it but how do i change it's position on the page? At the moment its on the far left of my page but my shop is centered so it looks a tad odd where it is. I need it to be in the Category box where the standard list of categories goes. I asusme the code below is for the coolmenu?

<!-- coolMenu //-->
<?php
if (DISPLAY_DHTML_MENU == 'CoolMenu') {
require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'coolmenu.php');
}
?>
<!-- coolMenu_eof //-->

I've tried moving this code around the page but whenever i put it in a table it vanishes completely! Is there some special trick to get the coolmenu to go into the infobox?

Thanks

James

Cant use coolmenu with a centered shop. That is a limitation of that menu system. You need to use the DHTML menu if you want it centered.

Hi,

Damn, okay thanks for the info.

I've enabled the DHTML menu but nothing is showing up on the menu, the height of the category box has changed to match the number of categories but there are no category names. Its just an empty box.

Any ideas?

Thanks

James

Turn off the cache.

[jmdesign]

Hi,

My shop has the following cache settings:


Use Cache is set to False


Enable Page Cache - false
Cache Lifetime - 5
Turn on Debug Mode? - false
Disable URL Parameters? - false
Delete Cache Files? - true
Config Cache Update File? - none


Are these the right settings for the DHTML menu to work?

If so its still not working.

Thanks

James
