    Default Simple Product List Menu

    I'm thinking this should be an easy answer for those who are more familiar with Zen Cart. Is there a way to get a simple list of products to use as a menu on a site. I don't need categories because the site only has a few products.

    By creating a navigation page (possibly the main_page.php file) you can hard code the links to your products from a list you create....

    You do lose the dynamic nature of the cart and if these change often you will have to re-code your list page

    So the only option is to hard code the links?

    Do you have mixed Categories or all in the same category?

    You could make something similar to All Products to create this list ... as to how the select statement works ... then make your own display for the template ...

    Make one category to put your products in, and then get the Expanded Categories Tree mod in Downloads. This will reportedly display all the products as well as categories in the category box.

    "This contribution creates an Expanded Category List. (Can replace the category sidebox.)
    It will show Categories, Sub-categories and products in a sidebox."

    If you use the Expanded Category List, you can hide the category name using CSS, so only the product names show in the box.
