Thread: how do i change the top menu?

Hi,
This is the first time I have used aspdotnetstorefront, so I am still getting used to it. I have designed my template and have applied to the homepage but I want the menu across the top to change from listing home, categories, manufactures etc... to list the actual categories that I have added how can I do this, can someone point me in the right direct.

I understand it has something to do with ComponentArt but I cant work it out where it gets the info from etc....



Cheers Russ

We have a KB or forum post on this...searching...

In the skins/skin_#/menuData.xml file, change

Code:

<item Text="(!menu.Categories!)" LookId="TopItemLook" />

to

Code:

<item Text="(!menu.Categories0!)" LookId="TopItemLook" />

Thats great it works thanks V much

Hi,

We are evaluating the demo and are wondering if we could use nested categories to accomplish a 2 level horizontal menu such as:

HOME | FOOD | CLOTHES | CUSTOMER SERVICE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fruit | Vegetables

Based on this thread, it seems like we could use the out of the box horizontal menu as is, with the categories0 modification to show the first level categories, then have another instance of the component art menu directly beneath that, showing categories1.

We would want the 2nd level to update on mouseover (or in the very least, on selection) of the top level menu items.

Would this type of modification be a serious undertaking?

PS: In this example, I would have our categories set up as:

Food
- Fruit
- Vegetables
Clothes
- Shirts
- Pants


Thanks!

I also need the same.... let me know if anyone has the solution

HOME | FOOD | CLOTHES | CUSTOMER SERVICE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fruit | Vegetables

Did anyone find a solution on this? I have been looking through the forums and can't find very much info on how to get the two columns on the horizontal menu.
