The ‘NAVIGATE’ menu in the bottom left is controlled by the file app/design/frontend/…html/botslmenu.phtml
At the moment all the menu items sshown in the top menu are also listed here -- but for me this list is too long. How can I LIMIT the number of menu items shown in the bottom NAVIGATE to just the first 4?
Code:
<?php $_menu = $this->getHtml('level-top') ?>
<?php
global $tmpTools;
if ($tmpTools->isHomepage()===FALSE)
{
$homecls='class="nav-home"';
} else {
$homecls='class="nav-home active"';
}
?>
<div class=" col-1 col-narrow">
<?php if($_menu): ?>
<div class="block block-list navitage">
<div class="block-title">
<strong>Navigate</strong>
</div>
<div class="block-content">
<ul>
<?php $first=0;?>
<li <?php echo $homecls;?>>
<a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl('') ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Home') ?>" class="<?php if($first==0): echo ' first'; endif;?>" ><span><?php echo $this->__('Home') ?></span></a>
</li>
<?php echo $_menu ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif ?>
</div>
Or another option is to remove the hard coded botslmenu.phtml file altogether…. How can I show a block in this position. I think it is position-9, but it doesnt work (when I delete the botslmenu.phtml file and activate a block in position 9)

What about deactivating/eliminating that particular menu altogether and simply utilizing one of the ancillary menu navigation lists with however many items you want?
That menu at the bottom will not deactivate. The only way to do it is to delete from the file I mentioned above. That menu seems to be hard coded into the template. Using the magento admin i could not see anywhere how to deactivate that foot menu. It seems to be in position-9. There is a block at position-9 with the same name (NAVIGATE) but it does not work at all. Turning off or deactivating that does nothing. The only way I could remove the menu is by deleting the hard coded menu from the above file.
I have added an image of the problem. You can see the list is much too long at the bottom of the page. Worst scenario is to delete the menu altogether.Attachment 25888
Hi maz001,
DId you want to remove that block ? if that you can open the layout file of app\design\frontend\default\jm_trex\layout\page.xm l look for this block tag and remove it
HTML Code:
<block type="core/text_list" name="botsl.menu" as="botslMenu" translate="label"> <label>Navigation Bar</label> <block type="page/html_topmenu" name="catalog.botslnav" template="page/html/botslmenu.phtml"/> </block>
I hope that helps !
