Category Bar Module v.0.3

[Nick]

Category Bar v0.3
Created by: Nick Ramsay, with thanks to Geoserv (http://www.pliggs.com)
Created on: 2009/02/14
Requires: None

Description
Uses Suckerfish to create a horizontal drop-down menu for categories. I took Geoserv's work from his Pliggie template and turned it into a module with the following twist: The links always point to the categories for published stories except when on the upcoming page, in which case they point to the categories for upcoming stories.

Instructions
1. Upload the "category_bar" folder and enable it in Module Management.
2. Open "header.tpl" or "pligg.tpl" in your template folder and add this wherever you want the categories to show:

Code:

{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_category_bar"}

3. Edit the css stylesheet in the module's css folder.

Hi!

I dont know if this bugg i have found is the module or the theme. I use the standard theme yget.



In internet explorer the sub categorys dont show if they are so many that they go over the content.
Is it the theme or the module 

[Nick]

I can confirm that this is a bug. In IE7 the drop-down menu gets hidden by the main yget content box. I don't know how to fix it yet, though!

This is a sweet module. I love drop-down menus.
