Westminster New

[picaflor-azul]

Hi! I loooooove this template and this thread and the add-ons one have basically been like my bible the past week while I modify my site! But I haven't found anything on what I need...

For starters, I am really not very familiar with php (I'll be honest, not well-versed in anything more advanced than html) but have been able to figure out *most* things so far.

On my site (http://thevegansexshop.co/shop/ --homepage is SFW, though there is a banner that reads "The Vegan S3x Shop"), I have the Westminster New template installed, and on the top menu bar I want to remove the "Categories" and "Contact" links and replace with an autopopulating list of my categories. I know how to remove "Categories" and "Contacts," BUT I don't understand php enough to figure out how to put my categories list there (especially automatically). I would prefer to be able to have them auto fill (like how the drop down menu for Products autofills), BUT if that's not possible, I don't mind manually adding them and changing as necessary.

Here is an image of what I have now:

(I removed my banner from the image so as not to offend anyone. This is completely SFW)

Here is an example of what I want:
Attachment 15093
(also SFW)

I'm pretttttty sure the file I need to modify is includes/templates/override/templates/tpl_modules_mobile_categories_tabs.php (at least, that is what I used to remove a link that was in the menu by default and it worked...) Here is the code for that file:

Can someone help me? Even if you can offer an example code and let me know how to modify it or point me to a tutorial on something like this.

Thanks in advance! :) I apologoize if the nature of the site offends anyone, but you know, there is a market segment out there...

Out of the box the template pulls all of the categories/ sub categories dynamically and displays them in the drop down menu.

Thanks,

Anne
