Don't know if this is a request / bug or suggestion.

I am looking to buy SmartSEO and does it have functionality where the user of the admin area can define the SEO Tags for the Homepage? Currently this has to be done via the source code which is a nightmare.

I guess a graphical representation will make more sense.

here it is: http://www.sigmaitsupport.com/LAB/pulldown-menu-look.gif

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi LAM,

Thank you for the detailed explanation.
What you want is not possible with the Categories Header Menu.
What you want is more like a Mega Drop Down Menu and the good news is that we are currently working on creating a Mega Menu plugin for nopCommerce, which we plan to release in the next few weeks, so stay tuned.

Could you please elaborate more on the menu?
What is Collection in your example? Also would you like to have pictures for any of the categories and products? We plan to have two different templates\layouts - one just like in your sample picture and one with images for the categories.

Thanks

Thanks for your quick answer.
I am very excited about the new release then... now, I am not sure I will be able to "wait" (make the client wait) few weeks...

Either way, I think it would be a great feature to have in the future.

Regarding this particular "requirement": The actual categories are really underneath "Shop". Collection is one of the Top Categories, and all the links below it would Sub-categories of collection. The same goes for "Category(title)" and "Best Seller". All other links have nothing to do with categories: Home, About, Contact, etc...

For this particular project I do not need images for the categories, but I guess it could be a nice feature to have if we were able to turn it on/off (as per project).

What I find important would be to select (pick and choose) what categories/sub-categories to show on the mega menu. I guess for large catalogs, with lots of categories/sub-categories would end up to be messy to show all/none.

Also, may I ask you:
1- Will Mega-Menu be based also in CSS/jQuery?
2- For the current version you based it on the Superfish plugin. What are you using as base for the Mega-Menu? I guess it could help me solve until the new version is available.

Thanks a lot for all your support! Very much appreciated!

Take care.

Hi support,

I would like to create a sitemap for the footer of the webshop, that shows the top level categories of the webshop dynamically.

Much like this site (scroll to the bottom):

http://www.techsmith.com/

Then I thought, hey the categories header menu can access my categories for the websop.

Problem is that I already have the header menu set up to a specific layout for the header. The CategoriesHeaderMenu.cshtml is in use for the header layout.



So my question is, would I be able to load another instance of the plugin for the footer using a different layout page that fits with the footer layout?
Can I for example copy and paste "CategoriesHeaderMenu.cshtm", and rename it "CategoriesFooterMenu.cshtml" and use that instead for the footer?


Thanks in advance

Hi There!

THanks so much for your reply - you guys do a great job! I am sorry for my late response. I guess in theory your answer seems simple enough to achieve, but I just couldn't get it to work at all. I played with it for a while. Were you able to get something close? I couldn't even see the numbers no matter what I did. If you get get something close, please post and I'll pursue it from there.

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards,

RJM

Thanks a lot.
I will be waiting for it.
Can you please also tell me if we can customize it to vartical menu and replace the current menu.

I am unable to find the download link for nop-categories-header-menu for nop commerce version 2.3 please help me with a link.

I had found a zip file but that includes plugins for versions 2.4, 2.5 & 2.6  but not for 2.3
