Thread: Customizing top menu

Hi

I want to add new menu items to the top navigational bar. One menu is "About Us" and it has 2 sub items. I have made these 3 entries in menuData.xml and it works fine.

I need another menu which I would like to be read from db. How do I make it to work like how the current (in-built) menu items - Categories and Departments?

I think these pages come into play for making this change-
/Web/App_Code/TemplateBase.cs

/Web/skins/.../menuData.xml

/ASPDNSFCore/CommonLogic.cs
/ASPDNSFCore/AppLogic.cs
/ASPDNSFCore/EntityHelper.cs

Pls let me know or post a link that I can get related documentation for this.

Thanks.

I'm new to ADNSF too but if I understand you correctly the only file you need to edit is your skin template file;

skins\Skin_{YOUR_SKIN_NUMBER}\template.ascx

HTH

Well, generically speaking, yes, those 5 files happen to have a part in the Categories and Department menu. But it's entirely the TemplateBase class that controls which to fetch...

hi...

I am totally new to aspstorefront. I have added new category in the admin but nothing is showing up in the front menu. Please help...

Do you have caching turned on? Have you reset the cache? Have you changed any of the dynamic menu logic to add custom menu items, and if so did you make sure that none of the original logic was overwritten?
