Thread: Top Horizontal Menu

I am looking to create a top horizontal menu that traverses from category - > sub-category -> product.

I have currently have edited the menuData.xml to go from the Category to Sub-category levels, but can not seem to find how to drill the menu down further to the product level.

Anyone any any suggestions?

doable yes, but you have to emit that additional menu structure Xml in the templatebase.cs (vb) class...as it's all dynamically pulled from the DB. Take a look at the code there, and it's pretty obvious how to add that.

Can you be a little clearer in this regard? or an example

find this code in templatebase.cs

Code:

// Find Categories menu top
mNode = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("//item[@Text='(!" + CommonLogic.IIF(AppLogic.IsAdminSite, "admin.", "") + "menu.Categories!)']");
mNode = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("//item[@Text='(!" + CommonLogic.IIF(AppLogic.IsAdminSite, "admin.", "") + "menu.Categories0!)']");
AddEntityMenuXsl(doc, "Category", AppLogic.CategoryEntityHelper.m_TblMgr, mNode, 0, "TopItemLook");

then find the routine AddEntityMenuXsl routine (still in templatebase.cs)

and add logic there that appends product nodes to the tail node (only) categories. This assumes also that you ONLY have products mapped to tail node categories, which is not necessarily true, or required by the platform. If you're not sure how to do this, it might make a good small project for any of our DevNet partners who eat this up day and night
