KateH Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Hi, I am editing a website for a Spanish company that uses PrestaShop. I have found PrestaShop really easy to get to grips with, but there is one thing happening that is driving me mad as I can't find what I am doing wrong. On the website they have a traditional menu bar with the categories showing and a menu on the left hand side that also lists all the categories. When I first started editing it workied like this: Add a sub category to a main category and it would appear as 1. a drop down in the main menu and 2. would appear in the side menu. Now it: The sub menu only appears in the side menu... I have checked that all the same boxes are ticked in the new sub categories as the older ones and I just can't see any difference. Am I missing something? Many thanks in advance. Website is www.tecnitest.com if you want to see what I mean.

vekia Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 hello, i've got one question: this is default prestashop top menu module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateH Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi Vekia, Thanks for your quick response. Would I find that in the Front Office modules? I have looked and the ones that are related to the categories are: Categories block v2.0 by PrestaShop Am I looking in the right place? It is just so strange that it was allowing the sub categories to show as drop down menus on the menu bar and now it doesn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm sorry, I think that I do not understand well what the problem is. I cant reproduce your issue on your website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivierColas Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I have a similar problem, I want to set the category in the top menu bar . Question is simple : how do we do this ? www.sabaartplay.com Prestashop is far away to be the most user friendly CMS but this in my own opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone will answer this for us. I'm so frustrated because it was working before, but is not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimasonline Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Same problem here - Categories not showing in the top horizontal menu. And which is worse - when I go to the module in BO I can not select any categories to add from that lefthand box as none of them show up. Prestashop 1.5.3.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsk85 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Well, I'm not sure if I understand you correctly (I just began to work with Prestashop), but if you want to show your Product categories in the top horizontal menu, you just have to go to Moduls > Moduls, search for the Modul "Top horizontal menu", configure, and then just select categories you want to see in the top horizontal menu... Is it that want you guys wanted to do? Jan Edited May 6, 2013 by jsk85 (see edit history) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it that want you guys wanted to do? Jan Hi, I have taken a look at the back end and cannot find "Top Horizontal Menu" in the Modules even after searching. I have inherited this website so I did not set it up. It is also a Spanish based company. What would I need to be looking for in a Spanish PrestaShop. Many thanks, Kate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsk85 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hey Kate, no, sorry, I have no idea where to find it in a spanish shop system - BUT i guess it must be a different way to change it then, because I'm using the German Prestashop and the modul is also called top horizontal menu. So i would say it must be called the same in the spanish shop system. Well, hope you can find the problem. BTW, if you want, I can recommend you a very skilled Prestashop developer on odesk.com ...

milind Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yes, I would like to display categories same as top menu bar. If it is possible on same module then we will try to implement otherwise suggest me any other model same as top menu bar means it will automatically collapse on responsive view(Mobile or Tab) .
