Subcategories for Top Menu Category

[Eilonwy]

I’m new to PrestaShop and I’m really stuck, even though this should be simple to figure out. I can add new top menu category Example Women 2 which you can see in this screenshot http://iforce.co.nz/i/jrfcwh3u.v24.jpg using the Top Horizontal Menu Module.

What I’m not able to figure out, how do I add subcategories to top menu category (Women 2) I have tried reading the help section including googling the solution to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The reason is simple: you can't. Subcategories are pulled out automatically from the parent category at the moment

Thank you so much for your reply,

I found this website http://www.johnnywas.com/ from this thread http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/122102-directory-worldwide-prestashop-directory/

Maybe I’m using the wrong terminology to explain what I mean, but how does someone create drop down menu from top menu category. Example would be “accessories” section as seen in this screenshot http://iforce.co.nz/i/wlt5quxe.41b.jpg or from this link http://www.johnnywas.com and it has other subcategories, like jewelry, handbags, belts etc

The only experience I have with ecommerce is using Magento (Probably bad word around here) which has totally different way of doing things.

If you just want to create a dropdown menu (manually), then you can do it statically, and hardcode modifications to  blocktopmenu.tpl. You might, for instance, add a new <li> element with submenu, like

 

<li>

<a href="somethwere">Some link</a>

<ul class="submenu-container clearfix first-in-line-xs>

.. all other items

</ul>

</li>

 

And so on, taking a look at the default's generated html and copying it

Thank you for your reply,

 

Instead of hand-coding it, are there any Menu Navigation Modules that you would recommend?

There are plenty to choose from on the addons store
