sackling Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I am new to prestashop in general. And I am testing out 1.6.0.5 as my first experience with prestashop. I was checking out the modules>positions in the back office. I wanted to see if there was an easier way to access the "top horizontal menu" It seems as though it should appear in actionCategoryUpdate as well as in displayTop When editing a category in the back office I don't see any place where I can change the top horizontal menu though. And I also don't see anywhere to edit the menu from the display top menu bar in the back office. Is it supposed to be showing in those 2 spots? From my understanding of the positions it should be. But I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 actionCategoryUpdate it's not visible hook, it's a action hook, this hook is executet when you update your category tree. module (top horizontal menu) uses it (this hook) to regenerate the menu categories tree. displayTop is a visible hook, there where the top horizontal menu appears. to configure menu - go to modules > modules and just search for "blocktopmenu" - hit configure button and just... configure it exactly as you expect (you can manage there menu items) what else you need?

sackling Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Oh ok I did not realize displayTop was for the front office. I guess "display" hooks are for the front office? My goal is to just become more familiar with how things work before deciding to go with prestashop or not. I think we make changes to the top horizontal menu relatively often so it would be nice to have it maybe more easily accessible from the back office. perhaps have it under modules as it's own submenu. Is there a way to do that in positions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 prestashop has got feature "quick access" in back office. you can add there links to the any part of BO you want - also to the block top menu configuration page you can define there (administration > quick access in left hand side menu) new items, i added link to block top menu settings page: effect: hope that this is what you're looking for if i missed something - let me know i will try to explain much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sackling Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thank you for the detailed reply. The quickaccess will definitely be good enough. I assume if I wanted to add it to modules>top horizontal menu in the back office it would be a lot more involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stottycabanas Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi sackling, what vekia has done is provide a quick access 'shortcut' from anywhere in back office to the config page of the top horizontal menu module, which is also in the back office. I'm not really sure what you mean when you say 'if I wanted to add it to modules>top horizontal menu in the back office'. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sackling Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I wanted to know if there was a way to add the top horizontal menu to the module menu on the left hand side of the back office. The quicklinks drop down really solves any this but I am more curious than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
