Sub categories, tree navigation? Howto?

Postby pingupop » Sun Oct 31, 2010 3:36 pm

I have searched the forum and I honestly do not understand how you create sub categories.
I understand that you create a page, and then another child page, but it is not really working in the navigation.
I need to create a tree navigation, and the menu must stay visible. Right now the previous parent navigation disappears when clicking the child page.

Maybe I am just really stupid. I hope I am, because then there is still hope! :mrgreen:
Help please :)

Below is an example of what i need.

Maincategory
--Computer Components
----Hard drives
------IDE
------SATA
----CPU
----Motherboards
--Computer Accessories
----Printers
----Displays
------17"-24"
------25"-27"

You need to assign the same navigation to all pages. If you are using ShopSite PRO or Manager version 10 sp1 or later there is an option to create such a menu under Preferences > Navigation. If you have a different version you can create the menu and copy it to the page template that you are using, insert it in a text field that displays where you want the navigation, or use the normal page links feature by including links to all of the other pages on each page.
