I finally managed to figure out how to clone the category module and this is why, I have created a header menu using a nice CSSplay dropdown menu.
Here is a guide to how I did it with a link to a demo store with this menu.

I hope it's useful for some people, I developed it for one of my own sites.

thankssssssssssssssssssss!!
God, give me courage to do what I can,
humility to admit what I can't,
and wisdom to know the difference.

i like this add-on so much
but if i have 15+ main categories then this wont fit horizontally.
i would like it better if its added as a tab next to Home Log In Account Basket Checkout, and when mouseover it then it drops down the main categories and when mouseover main category then it shows the sub category horizontally.
it would be great to have that
thanks

how when its ONLY ONE tab added?JAY6390 wrote:@Maansy - Tabs would have even less space, so that's kind of counter-intuitive to what you first said about

the CSS Dropdown Header Menu walkthrough right now will add a tab per category.
i just want ONE tab and it drops down all main categories
channelcommerce did a good job here, i hope he can do the ONE tab thing thu

Hi,
I tried to install it but can't - only because I came unstuck at the "This is where you need to know a bit of HTML/CSS, you need to decide where you want your menu to be." part. I've pasted that code into various places and it makes a mess of my site. I really do not know what I am doing.
Can anyone direct me as to exactly where to place it? I very much like the layout at the top of the page on the demo http://www.channelcommerce.co.uk/opencart_demo/ with the position of the 'home', 'login' etc. and the search box. I also like that the 'advanced search' has gone as I don't need that. I would also like to get rid of the 'currency' and 'language' boxes as I am only using one of each and don't want it to look like there is a choice.
If just adding the code from channelcommerce will do all that then positioning the code is all the help I need. If it needs other tweaks then any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all, I completed step 1 but when I log into Admin/Modules I get this message at the top of the page:
Error: Could not load language module/headermenu!
Any ideas on why this is?
Also I am a little confused on where to change the title from Categories to Header Menu, do I have a space between the words? I have done it like this:
class ControllerModuleHeader_Menu extends Controller {
Is this right?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Sarah.

Excellent template:
http://peterbryant.co.uk/
I am trying to use it and looks as though the styling is not working.
I have followed all the instructions, and the only thing which may be the problem is the positioning of the code in the DIV section, I cannot find DIV 3,4,5 as mentioned in the tutorial.
I am using the latest version of OpenCart and am really looking forward to using this template, if anyone can help,
Thanks in advance
Peter

I finally got it to work and I am really pleased with it so thank you channelcommerce!
One question though - is it possible to make the text of the categories bold? And if so how?
That's 2 questions I guess

I've managed to fix my little problem myself but if anyone else with limited skills like mine
would like to know how - all I did was add
here in the CSS code that came with the MOD


Code: Select all
font-weight: bold;
Code: Select all
.menu ul li a, .menu ul li a:visited {display:block; font-weight: bold; text-decoration:none;
