I have created an Artisteer template for Joomla 1.6. I am testing which shopping cart to use and so far Hika seems to be well suited. My problem is that I have created a vertical menu style on the left side of my site and a few test categories and products in Hika. When I have them show in the vertical menu my created menu style which I created in Artisteer isn't being honored. The dimensions and header are but the category link content within is not. I have tested using images, links, DIV settings but nothing seems to work. Is there a way to list categories and products in a vertical menu while bypassing the Hika DIV settings or CSS so my previously created menu template is being used? Thanks for your time.

Also, you have an option to specify the UL class suffix for the UL list so that it uses your template's menu lists style. We can tell you what to put in there as it will depends on your template.

The site is at [ www.renditioninterior.com/site/](http://www.renditioninterior.com/site/) Right now the vertical menu at the left is set to list but as you can see something is wrong. Artisteer has me put an "art-vmenu" title into the suffix settings of the module to link up the template style. I'm a little unclear was to what the UL class suffix is. Any info on that would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know if I will be able to show the products under the categories in the vertical menu? For example the menu contains the category of Bookcases, when someone clicks on it the menu bar would roll down the associated products according to that category. That's how I had planned on it working but with disabling child sub-categories I am thinking that it won't be possible.
