Fragments inside Sections displaying in MegaMenu V11

[Gordoh]

Hello,

I am trying to implement a MegaMenu to replace our callapso menu.

However some of our sub sections are actually fragments inside a section, is there a way to get these to show in the menu?

I used these to categorize without needing to create a lot of duplicate products.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Also, is there a way to manually add sections/sub sections in there as I could do a work around like that.

If you want to look at how I have used the fragments in sections to get an idea see: http://www.95percentshop.co.uk/acata...P_BY_ROOM.html
I wouldn't need images however it would be easier to have a fragment layout which when selected would show in the mega menu.

I have also used the same for Brochure pages and Fragments.

It currently seems I would need duplicate products to get the MegaMenu to work properly and as thoroughly in regards to categories etc?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Most (if not all) navigation menus work on Section pages, not products or Fragments.

P.S. I see that you're loading Multi Product Images setup code twice.

You are also loading a 325Kb Act_section_tree.js file which will impact on first time visitors. That and the ACT_DropListBox code below it seem to be redundant.

Thanks Norman, always a great help!

Can I just check, did you say that as far as you can tell the Act_section_tree.js and ACT_DropListBox can be removed? As far as I know those .js files have been there since I started working here so I don't really know what they do and are most likely standard to Actinic?

I assume then I am going to find another work around to my workaround for categorizing products by Sections > Fragments into some sort of list. Any idea how I can modify the ActinicMegaMenu layout with actual hard coded html links to certain pages?

Thanks

The code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
/***********************************************************************
*
* ACT_DropListBox - returns a string containing the HTML for the SELECT listbox
*
************************************************************************/

down to 

</SCRIPT>

Is definitely not standard Actinic. It an attempt to make some drop-down selection boxes for Shop By Products, Shop By Brand and Shop By Designer. These drop-downs are not on any pages I could see so all that code and the "All Data From All Sections" line above it can probably be deleted. Just note down where you deleted it from and keep the cut code safe, just in case...

Explorer Issues

Hi not sure if this is the correct place to ask!

I have noticed that the Mega menu doesnt dispay correctly in Internet Explorer
when a section is clicked in the dropdown the text appears to double in size affecting the whole layout of the menu,

has anybody experienced this?

would be great if there is a CSS fix for this!
my test site is here

Cheers

Anthony:

Tested OK in IE9 here.

However your page is a ridiculous SEVEN MEGABYTES in size and took over a minute to load here. You have some huge PNG images in that top banner and a 550Kb JPG that's actually a tiny image of three Mag nails.

Yes iv had it working fine in IE9 sorry it appears to be earlier versions!!

I realise about the PNG files I have just been playing around with various Jquery sliders trying to get them to work as I am implementing them myself...

I'm pretty new to web design and Actinic...

Thanks for the quick response....

It looks like a mega menu bug for some browsers. To fix you would need to edit the stylesheet for the navigation-bar font size.
