Default Using my own Sidbar Navagation

Is there any way to get rid of the sidebar catagories navagation, or change it to look more like http://www.bananarepublic.com

I like how the sub navatation apears within the same box as the main nav. It leaves so much room in the middle to show of the product.

Any ideas?

Put your own code in the categories.tpl template.

http://www.soap-please.com/

This is a site that uses xcart. I hacked it pretty good to change the overall look of the cart to better meld with the site.

HTH.

It's just html

I know html inside and out so it's pretty simple. If you're not knowledgeable in that language, you'll need to learn the basics. Using FP or something to generate your code will result in a bloated mess.

Edited to add: changing the home.tpl page will do most everything. You can stick the links directly in there instead of calling categories.tpl or head.tpl or other pages. Just my preference, but that's way I like to do it.

Here are 3 more in progress - they're a mess as I'm right in the middle of settling on layout and such...

http://www.magichandsworkshop.com/store/customer
(in this one I've added a JS mouseover to the links...)

http://www.freshhandmadesoaps.co.uk/store/customer
(the category links run side to side across the top rather than down the sides)

http://www.webgyrl.net/clients/fp/store/customer/
(categories down both sides)

If you know your basic html, it's pretty easy. HTH

Who is this directed at? And why should it be read? I don't see anything there that applies to anything in this thread?

I would like to help our friend out, but I have no idea what version he is running.

The first item applies.

I am working on my mind reading skills but version numbers are in the next chapter of the book.

ahh...well, I'm quite disappointed. I would have thought that with your wizard status the mind reading would be the norm. :P

As I tell my clients, nothing is impossible. If I wanted my subs to pop up like that, I'd crack the whip at my tech-geek husband and get him to write whatever snippet was necessary to get the job done. Offhand, sounds like dhtml is the ticket to accomplish this (dhtml is html, js and csss - to create dynamic html. you use js to control the css.)

What version are you running?
