Include in Navigation Menu

Dear Joomlart,

1: When i create a category then only the categories under "Default Categorie" are displayed in the menu and at the left side. When I create a new root category this will not be displayed.

2: Is it possible to set the; Include in Navigation Menu to NO
But that they are still viewable at the left categorie display?

I have 30 categories and would show 4/5 at the menu and all the categories on the left side.

Thanks in advantage.

Greetings!

Dear Hoer!

Thanks for using our products and services.

Regarding your problem:

1. One store will display only one root category, so you couldn’t use 2 root categories in one store. If you want to switch to other root category please go to admin->manage stores-> edit your current store and change "Root Category *" to your new one.

2. The top menu and left category menu are now using the same code. When you set include in navigation to NO, it will be display in navigation. We have no way to change this.

Do you have many categories and if all of them appear in the left menu, it’ll be very long and look not nice, right? We have one thread that should help you in this case:

This thread will help you in changing left menu to accordion menu, which could be toggle sub-menu so the menu will be shorter.

Hope this helps you.

Dear thangnn1510,

Thanks for your help.
I have a question about the topic of the categories at the left side. (http://www.joomlart.com/forums/showt…ory-navigation)

Now after all the categories there will be a http://www.joomlart.com/forums/attac…1&d=1290737876. Is it possible to only show this http://www.joomlart.com/forums/attac…1&d=1290737876 when a category has a sub-category. Now it is confusing for the costumers because not all the categories do have a sub-categorie.

Thanks for your help!

Dear Hoer!

This is very simple, with each category has sub categories, its li tags in code will have "parent" class. If it hasn’t any sub category, the "li" won’t have this class. Please use this difference to style up

Regards!

Thanks i fixed it with the following code:

PHP Code:

/*JM SIDE NAVIGATION*/
#ja-sidenav .toggle,
#ja-sidenav .toggle:active {
    
width15px;
    
height30px;
    
positionabsolute;
    
top1px;
    
right15px;
    
padding0;
    
color#e0e0e0 !important;
    
text-indent16px;
}

#ja-sidenav .toggle:hover {
    
text-decorationnone;
}

#ja-sidenav .toggle:focus, #ja-sidenav .toggle:active {
    
backgroundurl(../images/arrow-cat-hover.gifno-repeat center center;
    
text-decorationnone;
}

#ja-sidenav li.selected .toggle {
    
backgroundurl(../images/arrow-cat-active.gifno-repeat center center;
}

#ja-sidenav li.selected .toggle:hover {
    
backgroundurl(../images/arrow-cat-activegifno-repeat center center;
    
text-decorationnone;
}

/*0 level*/
#ja-sidenav {
    
padding0;
}

#ja-sidenav li {
border-bottom:1px solid #F0F0F0;
line-height:160%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
position:relative;
}

#ja-sidenav li:hover {

}

#ja-sidenav li.parent {
    
backgroundurl(../images/arrow-cat.gifno-repeat center center;
    
text-decorationnone;
    
background-position223px 10px;
}

#ja-sidenav li a {
    
color#666;
    
displayblock;
    
line-height30px;
}

#ja-sidenav li a:hover {

    text-decorationnone;
}

#ja-sidenav li a span {
    
backgroundurl(../images/bullet1.pngno-repeat 2px 12px;
    
displayblock;
    
padding0 15px;
}

#ja-sidenav li a li a {
    
font-weightnormal;
}

#ja-sidenav li.active a {
    
font-weightbold;





Now I have a new problem.
The second submenu are now automatic shown.
How can i change this the same to the first submenu?!
So that you need to click on the + to show the 3 items in that category.

Thanks for helping me so far

Dear Hoer!

We don’t support accordion menu for nav level 2 yet, and we still do not have any confirm plan of doing so either. I am afraid, you will have to wait longer for such update to happen.
