Add a new nav bar

[jeyjoo]

Hi,

 

New to PS. Im using PS 1.4.6.2, default theme.

I would like to add a second nav bar in the header area.

I was looking to add the front office module "new link block". Can anyone advice a best way? I will be adding two languages, so prefer to use a module than "code by hand".

 

Much appreciated

I'd make a copy of an existing module that hooks into a similar area that you want, and then I'd edit the TPL file to display whatever new navigation you want to use. The fact that you have 2 languages doesn't really change anything because Prestashop makes it really easy to set translatable strings in smarty (e.g. {l s ='this string can easily be translated in the back office'}.

 

I'm unfamiliar with what module inserts the new navigation for 1.4.6.2 (I haven't used it myself) but you could also hijack that modules tpl file and override it in your themes/modules/modulefolder/moduletemplatefile.tpl. Then just add in your second nav into that same module.

Thanks Justin,

That sounds like reasonable answer. Will post back if I manage to do this.

That worked.

I used the CMS links. Only problem is that every time I create a new category, I have to add manually the category to the nav bar.
