Thank you Matt! That image is very helpful

Nice! and helpfull

Pero qué cara más dura!

Hi, very helpful info thanks.

I am trying to build a vertical nav and would like to override the drawItem method. In the navigation.php block but I am having problems getting it to work.

I would prefer to do it this way to follow the magento style, rather than putting lots of javascript handles etc. directly into the template. Anyone had any success doing this?

Hi folk,

I’m a newbie for Magento and this tutorial helped me a lot to build top bar navigation in Magento. As far as I know, this top bar navigation is built for category only. Is it possible to list CMS page along with top navigation bar which is in header section of the website.

Is there any good developer’s manual/guide to learn,ride and play with magento?

Thanks again for sharing great knowledge

I know I’m a little late on this post, but is there a way to make a parent category link to nothing? I have an ‘About Us’ category with several sub-categories which really serve as sub-pages. I don’t want the ‘About Us’ category link to link to anything since the content is in the sub-linked pages.

I guess it’s possible to manually code this into the top.phtml file, but given that my client may make updates in the future, I’d rather have the navigation in “plain sight”, if you know what I mean. I hope you get to see this. Thanks in advance anyway.

By the way, great site you have going here!

Exactly what I searched for

Very cool intro to navigation in magento. Thanks!

i have made several changes in the file top.phtml to customize the navigation bar of header
but its all useless n no changes occur.
kindly help me n tell me the original files of the header navigation bar
thank you

No entiendo una mierda, todo el mundo lo explica para gente que ha trabajado ya en ello. Esot super perdido y no me funciona nada.
Pero en fin…

Adeel you did the right thing changin the top.html… For some reason the changes don’e show up on the front end right away it may take a few minutes for the system to clear the cache.

Ok, newbie here. How do we actually get pages to appear in the navigation? I feel like a total loser not knowing that.

Ashey,

I’m a newbie with the same problem. If I understand your question, I found the solution at:

It is important to get categories right. In the hierarchy of categories, the first category represents the store level (or what Magento calls the root category). The root category does not show in top navigation. So, if your other categories are “sub” categories of the root category, they won’t show up either.

Hello,

how can I add another navigation, to display a second root category?
Haven’t found anything on the web so far.
