How to add (non category) menu in TOP menu

I use extension for menu in the past for other template. It works with magento. Link here. http://www.magentocommerce.com/exten…-administrator

I hope this helps

He DJ,

Sorry for the late response but I’m just back from a short holliday.
Thks very much. You’ve been a great help.

You more than welcome. I found this extension because of another member here Michael so I only pass what I learn too It is brilliant by the way. I just installed on this template and works fine. Remember to adjust your CSS though .

I cannot get it to work, can you share the files you changed.

Thanks

Rocky

Hello Rocky. Here is what I used it is on magento link. He explain what to change. However, make sure you enabled extension that might be a case why it does not work for you. If you have more problem let me know.. but please specify what exactly happen or send me privite message I can go through webinar with you and help you there. These changes worked for me for both templates for Magento from Joomlart. I tested and working fine. With this template however you need to change css if you want display menu on the top.

Edit: /app/design/frontend/default/THEME/layout/catalog.xml

<default>
<!-- Mage_Catalog -->
<reference name="top.menu">
<block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.topnav" template="catalog/navigation/top.phtml"/>
</reference>
ADD
<reference name="top.navadmin">
<block type="navadmin/navadmin" name="navadmin" template="navadmin/top.phtml"/>
</reference>

Edit: /app/design/frontend/default/THEME/layout/page.xml

<default>….
<block type="page/html_header" name="header" as="header">
<block type="page/template_links" name="top.links" as="topLinks"/>
<block type="page/switch" name="store_language" as="store_language" template="page/switch/languages.phtml"/>
<block type="core/text_list" name="top.menu" as="topMenu"/>
ADD THIS
<block type="core/text_list" name="top.navadmin" as="topNavadmin"/>

Edit: /app/design/frontend/default/THEME/template/page/html/header.phtml

<div class="nav">
<ul id="nav">
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘topNavadmin’) ?>
</ul>
</div>

Extra: Comment this
<?php //echo $this->getChildHtml(‘topMenu’) ?>

3- If you need change your css

Hello di38,

First of all let be clear. The example is editing the default template like is

Edit: /app/design/frontend/default/THEME/layout/catalog.xml

Since I am using the JM Sulfur I am assuming that I will be editing this in Red

Edit: /app/design/frontend/jm_sulfur/THEME/layout/catalog.xml

The first two files are easy I have to do is fine the codes and add the new codes below that.

I am stuck on the third one what should I do add the code or edit the code. Also the CSS?

Edit: /app/design/frontend/default/THEME/template/page/html/header.phtml

<div class="nav">
<ul id="nav">
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘topNavadmin’) ?>
</ul>
</div>

Extra: Comment this
<?php //echo $this->getChildHtml(‘topMenu’) ?>

That is what I have with my jm_sulfur

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
<!-- MAIN NAVIGATION -->
<div class="nav">
<ul id="nav">
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘topNavadmin’) ?>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="ja-mainnav" >

<div class="wrap">

<div class="main clearfix">

<?php //echo $this->getChildHtml(‘topMenu’) ?>

<div class="shop-tools">

<div class="ja-tools">

<?php echo $tmpTools->genToolMenu ($tmpTools->getParam(‘usertool_font’),’png’); ?>

</div>

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘store_language’) ?>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

<!-- //MAIN NAVIGATION -->

I hope that will help

As per css you need to work with your css files way you want. Your css are here ;
\skin\frontend\default\jm_sulfur\css
You need to examin what is there and adjust only codes that refers to div main nav

in red is your default.. within this default folder you find jm_sulfur template that is what refers to as theme.. so yours is default/jm_sulfur then open jjm_sulfur and find files

Edit: /app/design/frontend/mj_sulfur/THEME/template/page/html/header.phtml

<div class="nav">
<ul id="nav">
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘topNavadmin’) ?>
</ul>
</div>

Extra: Comment this
<?php //echo $this->getChildHtml(‘topMenu’) ?>

So I add the above codes to that file?

Do I have to edit CSS files?

thanks
