Hi We are trying to work with a submenu so we can place various info, product and sub-product info in this style.

Look at http://www.bluewaremedia.com/lightpointonline/web/ under the browse store Button.

Is there a mod or plug-in to allow this ?

thank you for your great assistance

Hi J. I assume you are talking about having that flyout menu automatically pick up new categories/sub-categories without having to hard code them?

[Jeffos]

Yes. Correct from the admin. With ability to add new info if needed

[balinor]

To my knowledge, there is not one that exists commercially (other than fancy categories). May want to post in the Pro Services - Requests forum.

[Jeffos]

So we won't be able to add additional info in the list but can the Plug-in fancy Categories allow us to display this for example :

Browse By Brand
-- Brand A
-- Brand B
-- Brand B

Browse By Type
-- Type A
-- Type B
-- Type C (When click goes to the main type C Page or goes to static page)

let me know . Thank you

J

Have a look at the demos:

I will caution you that in my experience, this module can cause a significant load time issue depending on how deep your sub-categories are.

[Jeffos]

It will most likely be 2 levels deep only.

wudup, may i suggest my mod that i am working on, if i can get it finalized with one bit of helpful coding that i just havent been able to think of here:

http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=18857

check it out in action here, try the pumps category....

may not be exactly wut u are thinking of, but id like to help if i can...it would only load one subcat at a time, no java to have to preload for the flyouts, and much more search engine friendly.....

[Jeffos]

Thanks a lot for the post. I'll finish my integration and let you know if I need to look into your option.

Many thanks

J.

[jburba2000]

tell me, is it something similar to this?

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=106

where you can browse by the brands UNDER that subcat?

if so, i am currently trying to work on a mod for this to integrate into my submenu mod i posted a couple posts earlier
