Can Subccategories be included in the menus directly?

Question

Hi I just want to know that how can i add Subccategories in the Navigation menus without making the parent category to show up there Any Ideas???

thanks in advance

Answer 1

This will take quite a bit of surgery to make this happen in a programatic fashion. You'll need to override the Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation::_renderCategoryMenuItemHtml() method.

Alternatively, you might be able to hide the parent categories using your skin's CSS? The ul#nav li elements have quite specific class and id values that should allow you to show or hide them. However I suspect given the complexity of the fly-out nav, you may find it more efficient to rewrite the PHP. It probably comes down to where your proficiency lies.
