N@D33M Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hi, I would like to use a very important feature, I'm not sure, if it's already there or should I need to develop. Well, I would like to use Module content under Menu Top link, let me explain it in detail. Let's say I created a Menu Top Link as Place an Order (which should show all the categories and their respective products in one page) Now, I wanted to use category block whenever someone click Place an order top menu link, so people can see all the categories, once I got this, I'll try to make a module for categories and their respective products. Please help me as this is urgent. Much appreciated! Nadeem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stottycabanas Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a top menu entry called Place an Order - the customer may just want to view the products. Depending on the structure you require, you could configure the Top Horizontal Menu module accordingly. In a standard 1.5.4.1 installation, all the (top-level) categories will appear under the 'Home' entry in the top menu, but you can change that if you want. Whichever way you configure the module, when the customer selects a category, they will be taken to the category page, which will show the products for that category. At that point, if they wish to place an order, they can click the Add to Cart button. I hope I've interpreted your requirements correctly - it shouldn't require any development, just configuration.

N@D33M Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Thanks for your response, but I'm looking for a module to show categories and products like: Main Categories which is nothing than a pseudo root name called "Place an Order" Place an Order | |__ SubCat1 | |__SubCat1-Product1 | |__SubCat1-Product2 | |__SubCat1-Product3 | |__SubCat1-Product4 | |__ SubCat2 | |__SubCat2-Product1 | |__SubCat2-Product2 | |__SubCat2-Product3 | |__SubCat2-Product4 And so on... so, living staying on same page, they could actually see all the products in that category, instead of clicking on category and then having a product-list page as we are selling services not an actual product which you can count on your fingers. I don't want to change Core controller of their framwork, I need just help, how I could create my own module and replace with their default structure of showing the categories and products? I've seen the category pack module which is pretty straight forward, I need to join the categories with the products table in one array which I know I could do that but need some bootstrap where to start? Thanks for the help. Edited August 22, 2013 by N@D33M (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N@D33M Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Booya, I'm able to do that thing. Actually I override the Category Class and put my own functions in it Thanks for giving the option of overriding. Nadeem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
