Steven,

I have a new issue for you (you are probably thinking “not this guy again!”).

Background: I just bought Slim Plus and am trying it in place of Market to more efficiently use cyber real estate for mobile applications. Market (and my site) worked great before the switch, so I’m thinking that there may be some coding I missed in Slim Plus that I need to tweak.

Here is what happens…

When I choose a page from my menu (i.e. http://grandhavenarea.com/services-shopping/banks-credit-unions/?cn-s=&cn-cat=10) it displays properly with my map plugin for that category. BUT, when I use the Slim Plus dropdown menu to change pages, the CONTENT changes, but the MAP (and page) remain the same. I need for the PAGE to change as well as the content.

Any ideas how to do this?

All the best,

Steve Benson

@ Steven

The behavior I see is the correct default behavior. Changing the category selection in the drop down should not send you to another page. Market can’t does not that either that either. Did you somehow customize Market to do this? Did you by chance just have the category select sidebar turned off in Market?

[Steven Benson]

Steven,

I wasn’t displaying the Category sidebar in Market, so that is probably the difference.

Can you tell me how to reduce the width of the Select Category box in Slim Plus?

I’ve been looking through the code and can’t seem to find where that is set.

Thanks.

Steve

I think this will do it:

#cn-slim-plus .cn-cat-select {
width: 250px;
}

Just add it to the end of the theme’s style.css file.

don’t know if this is the right spot or not, but here is my question:

I’m building a site and everything works and looks fine up until a user tries to search for something. as of now the search works fine as long as they do it only once.

for instance: going to- myhospitalwebsite.com/physicians/cat/podiatry/

and then using the dropdown to change category, i get:

myhospitalwebsite.com/physicians/cat/podiatry/?cn-s=&cn-cat=5

i should get the url of the new category i selected in the dropdown.

in a nutshell, my question boils down to; how do i get the dropdown to forget about the current URL and start all search from the root URL.in which case, it should show as myhospitalwebsite.com/physicians/?cn-s=&cn-cat=5

thanks for any help

i was able to make this work with a hack fix for now, but it will do the job if you have nothing else:

using the file: slim-plus.php

– i change line 426 for action to: action=”myhospitalwebsite.com/physicians/”

that does the trick for now.

[Elijah]

better solution:

replace “addAction” with “homeID” in the form action.

sorry for the junk.

@ Elijah

Good to hear your fond a solution to the tweak you wanted.
