el_bot: Yes, I have a coding conflict when using id. Obviously not thinking about multiple mods when I did that code... oops. Should have a counter or something to append a number to the end of the id. hmmm.

Perarg: Yes, you have used itemid correctly. Unfortunately, VM cateogry and product pages will not pass the second itemid you have created. VM only uses a primary itemid... the first VM menu item created. So all links within VM product and category pages will use just noe itemid... regardsless of the itemid you accessed the page from. You'll need to edit your product and category pages to detect the incoming idem and update the urls accordingly.

Hi:

I am using yootheme template: http://www.yootheme.com/demo/joomla/milk

 but this menu not works.

1.- I have installed this module mod_vm_cat_menu_specific_v2.8.zip
2.- I have replaced the files in zip "basic-version-for-YooTheme"

Attach captures

@mbit: Why have a menu when only the active menu is shown? Doesn't that defeat the point of navigation? I'm sure we must be misunderstanding each other.

@yae: You have simply supplied me with no info where I could help you.

Looks like the manufacturer is being supplied in the pop-up menu next to products? So only showing manufactures that are in that product/category set?

@xhgjzll: A custom php script addition I'd say.

It's css. No script. Use css to alter accordingly.

How to do 'amazon left menu'?

[Forrest]

@atranaz: Make a module position, and add CSS. Pretty much it's a javascript function that would alter the style of the module div. I do not provide css support here. There are plenty of good artilces on the web about altering css styling on divs via javascript.

@xhgjzll: Same goes for you. Just set the menu items to SHOW all, and use css styling to have them function accordingly on mouse hovers.

HI is it possibe to inegrate dtree style?

[Forrest]

Not likely to happen, no; unless many want this feature.

Here's an example category set for virtuemart:

• By Product
  
  • Watches
  • Shoes
    
    • Big Shoes
    • Small Shoes
  • Hats
• By Application
  
  • Firemen
  • Police
    
    • Vests
    • Hats
  • Saftey

according to this example category set i am trying to edit the module so it will hide by product + by application main subs but it ll show the active subs. meaning, if i am at the big shoes it ll show :

   watches
   shoes
      big shows
      small shoes
   hats

else if i am at the watches it ll show :
watches
shoes
hats

i want the menu to change accordingly to which main sub i am into, start from the 2lvl subs and end at the 4lvl.. possible? any hints?

[Forrest]

Yep, two modules (one for each menu). Set the Start ID for the Top cateogries: By Product and By Application.

You may need to set the start level to 1, but can't remember off top of my head. The rest should fall into place fine. This is exactly what I designed it to do in the first place.

yes you are right but i forget to make a mention in my previous example..

if i am in watches or shoes i want the subs of by application to be hidden.. and oposite if i am Police or vests or Saftey i want the By prodycts subs to be hiden.. any solution? if i make multiple modules, one for each Top menu then it shows all the modules when i am in any sub.. can i prevent showing the modules that i am not in one of their sub?

ps if Menu Assignment worked for virtuemart categories , that would be a solution but it doesnt :/

[Forrest]

Ah, I see. What you can use is something called MetaMod. It's a free J! module that allows you to publish or unpublish other modules based on any php factors you wish to program. MetaTempale can also do the same, but executes on a higher level... I prefer to do everything on MetaTemplate now.
