I am wondering if there is a simple way to create a category navigation stylized like the attached image. The parts that I am having trouble with are the following: - Inserting the 4 different department dividing lines like the one between "Store Specials", and "Men's Clothing". - Having the sub-categories within the <li> tag of its parent is causing formation issues. I don't mind the department level links being created manually, but I would like there to then be place holders for the sub-categories to pull up, when it applies. I am trying to avoid doing a seperate Category Master Page for each department. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Greg Moser gregmoser attached the following image(s):  leftnav_example.jpg (210kb) downloaded 119 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.

I can think of a couple ways to do this that might work, but I think in any case it may take some customization to a new category display module. If I get a chance to experiment, I'll let you know.

Nested list items are proper XHTML, so it would be invalid to kick it out of the nest, so to speak. Practically any formation is possible with CSS, so some more information about what you're trying to do would be needed. You wouldn't need a separate category template or category master page for each department unless you were wanting to display each department differently |

ok, I got the nested style issue figured out, but I am still trying to add those gray line breacks at the manually selected spots. Any help would be great. I'm just not sure where I should start customizing. You can view the website that I'm working on at storedev.nofear.com
Thanks,
Greg

Greg, I modified my Sub Category Menu content block and added this to the AddSingleLink If c.Name = "-" Then Me.MenuControl.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("<div class=""delim""> </div>")) Else ... Thus now I can create "empty categories" with the name "-" that will appear as delimiting lines. I hope it helps. Regards, Corneliu. |

Hello, There is also another way to customize each category within the category menu and specify individual images for each. It does require custom coding. Feel free to check out this link to see the customization at work. www.mainepuzzles.com Each category and subcategory level has the ability to be styled anyway you wish to see it. |

Can you tell me where that 'Sub Category Menu content block' is located. Basically, I need to know what file it is in so that I can input the code that Corneliu Tusnea explaned. Thanks, Greg Moser

That's close to what I was thinking would be the easiest, Corneliu. Gives me a few other ideas to play with, thanks! :) |
