    Default Horizontal Categories?

    I'm looking for a template that has the categories listed at the top of the page horizontally, and I'm coming up empty.

    The only thing I can think of off-hand is to get creative with the header, and turn off all of the ezpage columns on both sides?
    Will that work?

    I am trying to emulate this store: http://www.blackberryfarmshop.com/sh...y.aspx?catid=2

    Thanks

    Default Re: Horizontal Categories?

    Did you try turning on the Category Tabs in the Configuration ... Layout Settings ...
    Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF
    Categories-Tabs
    This enables the display of your store's categories as a menu across the top of your header. There are many potential creative uses for this.
    0= Hide Categories Tabs
    1= Show Categories Tabs

    You can turn off both sidebars in any template with admin > Configuration > Layout Settings > Column Left/Right status - Global.

    You would then need to add some mods to the header or footer for needed functions that normally occur in sidebars. Some might require some custom coding - depends on what you want where.

    Default Re: Horizontal Categories?

    You can also use the EZ Pages to create any needed links (whether to categories or not) across the top. I find this provides greater flexibility and you don't get the 'wrapping' that you can sometimes get with adding all categories to the top.

    It also allows you to work a little SEO into the top by using certain keywords or phrases to point to a category that on the left hand standard navigation might be different.
