Any one have any luck getting the Category Menu Plus to display in the header? I've named the Column "Nav" and added the Category Menu Plus - I've look in the demo admin and everything looks the same. Am I missing something?

Matt,

When we created the demo store theme we added the ContentColumn control, with the ColumnName property set to "Nav", to the Header control in the theme.

Hi Aaron,

Would you mind sharing the code? I've created the "Nav" Column (in the admin) added the ContentColumnControl to the header file and still cannot get it to display.

Open the header control of your theme (e.g. /BVModules/Themes/Bvc2013/controls/Header.ascx). Register the ContentColumn control by adding this line to the register statements at the top of the file:

Code:
<%@ Register Src="~/BVModules/Controls/ContentColumnControl.ascx" TagName="ContentColumnControl" TagPrefix="uc" %>


Now that the ContentColumn control is registered you can use it anywhere in the header control like this:

Code:
<uc:ContentColumnControl ID="YOUR_CONTROL_ID" runat="server" ColumnName="Nav" />


Note that the "ID" attribute should be set to whatever you wish, but it must be unique within your header control. The last attribute, "ColumnName", is what instructs the ContentColumn control which content column to load. This name should match the name of the content column that you created in the admin.
