I assume that The mega menus will work with Smart Templates
Am I correct?
My second question is about whether it is possible to add a link to the right panel of Smart template
The link would be used to link to a wordpress blog.
Would your Home Page Manager handle this?

Re: X-Cart Mega Dropdown Category Menu
 

Hi Jim, yes the menu should work fine with the Smart Template.

Adding a link to your blog is very simple, just use HTML like this...

Re: X-Cart Mega Dropdown Category Menu
 

The menu is now available for X-Cart v4.1.x - v4.4.x :)

Re: X-Cart Mega Dropdown Category Menu
 

Phil,
Mega Dropdown Menu is SEO friendly ?

If I remove all my category listing & use Mega Dropdown Menu instead then SEO will affected ?

Re: X-Cart Mega Dropdown Category Menu
 

Yes, it generates cleanly coded, nested unordered lists (no tables). It also generates valid XHTML code.


Even if you need to alter your category structure for the menu, assuming you have a XML sitemaps setup, it won't take long for the likes of Google etc. to re-index your store.

You can use .htaccess 301 redirects for your most important / highest ranked category URLs.

A demo intregrated into your Smart Template would be usefull.
