Hello,

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

Ashey,

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

http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/modules_reference/english/mage_adminhtml/catalog_category/edit

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.

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

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.

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…

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!

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
