Menu Bug (or developer bug??)

Hi Guys,

I have Business Edition and have looked at the other posts but cannot find an easy way to create a new category (under root) and put categories I have (that have products in them). So I have ABC at root level (hey I am new!) and now that we are growing (and so our our product list/displays) I'd like to add a PRODUCTS category and put ABC under it. DO I have to delete and recreate?

Thanks!
Susan

Hi,

When you edit (or create) a category, you can set his parent category.
So you can move an entire category (with all of his products and sub categories) easily.

I don't think that there is a menu bug or a developer bug.

Hi,

Sorry I had two issues at the same time and wrote that one with the wrong subject.

I have a menu MAINMENU that has Shop as parent and about 5 things as child. I display it at the top and it looks fab. No issues. I also then created a side menu and totally did everyhing twice. But I had a lightbulb moment and created another module and just assied the main menu twice (once in the module displayed at the top and then again at the side).

The trouble I am havin gis that the one on the side is displaying two OTHER root level items (not in shop).

So like this
Shop
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
ParentItem2
Parent Item3

This does not display like this at the top menu.. if I put it down a level and just display the SUBcategories I get 1, 2, 3 and NOT the ParentItem2 etc but then I don't get my SHOP parent item and it does look a bit funny. Am I missing something?

Cheers,
Susan

Hi,

Can you give us a screenshot of you categories explorer (backend) ?

I think that you are listing the elements under the parent of "Shop", so it's normal that the ParentItem2 & 3 are displayed.
You can create a category "Mainshop" and put "Shop" inside, then display the childrens of "Mainshop" and you will have "Shop > -Item 1 / -Item 2 / -Item 3"

MainShop
> Shop
>> Item 1
>> Item 2
>> Item 3
ParentItem2
ParentItem3

Hmmm I am not sure I understand. I am not really using categories at all in the main party of joomla (where I set up the menu)

Here is my example:

.. and here is the screenshot of how the two menus are appearing.

ONE menu (called MainMenu) and two modules (both with same configuration just different positions for display.

Sorry, but I don't really understand, everything is displayed as configured in backend.

You have the 6 sub categories of "Shop" displayed under "Shop" and the other menus.
If on the module you only want the shop categories, you have to create another menu, or use a HikaShop module.

But actually your problem don't seem to be an HikaShop one.
