Catalogue menu

Post by liquefusion »

Not sure if this is the right place for this but;

I have a site with top horizontal menu with the usual options such as home, about, contact etc. I also have the catalogue module and was wondering how to set up a left side vertical menu that shows an expandable catalogue eg.

Product Group 1
  • Item 1
  • Item 2
Product Group 2
  • Item 1
  • Item 2
  • Item 3
This side menu would be on every page. Not sure how to begin doing this.
Thanks,
Liquefusion

You could separate your menu into two main items(pages), called hmenu and vmenu.
Place all of your current pages under the hmenu item and create your new catalog pages under the vmenu item.
Call the hmenu on your horizontal top menu and vmenu on your side menu.

I do it like this:

Code: Select all

   <div id="menu_horiz">
      <h2 class="accessibility">Navigation</h2>
      {menu template='cssmenu.tpl' start_level='2' start_element='1.1' show_root_siblings='1'}
   <hr class="accessibility" />
   </div>

   <div id="menu_vert">
      <h2 class="accessibility">Sub Navigation</h2>
      <ul><li>{menu template='simple_navigation.tpl' start_level='2' start_element="2.1" show_root_siblings='1'}</li></ul>
      <hr class="accessibility" />
   </div>
