Custom Top Banner

This topic has been marked as not a support question.

Hello guys, After a little searching I have found that I can have the Brand and information displayed on the top banner but I cannot seem to find how I can crate my own top banner tabs such as BLOG (and link it to my WP blog etc) I would like to do this as I have many categories and cannot fit them all in the top banner So I’m going to make a category side banner display and have the red top banner with links associated to the company and the shop such as • The home that is already provided • Categories (that will then show the drop down of categories) • Offers (link them to the specials category / page • Blog (take them to our blog page) • Detailing Services (take them to our WP site where we offer car care services) Any way you get the idea. I will then set up my side banner to show on all pages and it will list my many categories and site information etc. Also is it possible to create black pages and fill them with my own contact. Much like the privacy pages etc but I can create them and insert my own wording? We are using open cart version 1.5.1.3.1 Look forward to your reply.	amdetails

Hi, 1) Here you can see, how you could add menus to the top navigation easily: http://support.themeburn.com/topic/modify-main-menu-add-new 2) You can hide all the categories for the top menu from Admin -> Catalog -> Categories -> Edit category -> Data tab -> Top option unckeck. You cannot, however, hide them in a dropdown. 3) You can create as many text pages as you want from Catalog -> Information. Hope, we have helped. Best regards, ThemeBurn team	TB Support

Great guys’ thanks, I have managed to start building my own custom bar now. For example I have this piece of code to link to my blog. `<li id="custom_menu_id"> <a href="http://www.amdetails.co.uk">Old Site</a> <li>` How do I edit it so that it opens in a new window please? Also I’ve tried to understand the Information and Brands code in this file. But can’t quite work it out. What code would I require to have the top banner display Category and then list any of the categories I create bellow it. Would I have to manually write code for each one? Or can I refer it to the category code file so it would auto populate each time I edit/ add or delete a category? Thanks Alan	amdetails

Hi, As we said in our previous post, you can’t hide the categories in a dropdown from the template. You will need to edit a Shoppica core file, which will require some PHP knowledge. The file is `catalog/controller/module/shoppica.php` and the function to edit is `generateCategoriesMenu()`. Best, ThemeBurn team	TB Support
