    Default Top menu

    How do you add an item to the top menu? By default it has home - categories -departments - customer service

    I wan to add another menu item to that list, can't find where you do that in admin.

    Check the skins/skin_#/menuData.xml file (where # is the ID of the skin that you are currently using)

    Default Is that file dynamically created?

    If I edit the menuData.xml will my changes be overwritten by user activity? In other words is menuData.xml generated by ASPDOTNETSTOREFRONT or is it only editable by manual methods?

    Otherwise is there much benefit to using this .xml rather than just hard coding the menu into the template?


    Thanks.

    menuData.xml isn't modified by the software, no. As far as why use this over hardcoding menus...it's just easier. This is already built and ready to go, doesn't make much sense to do it all by hand in the template unless you want the menu to work completely differently.
