[mobmaster]

Hi to all. I'm new to presta and smary is a nightmare for me.

 

I need to remove "categories block (top)" from presta alt theme because i have to much categories and cant fit on the screen. But in place of that module i need to put some cms content for eg i can put home, contact, about us etc? Styling is ok youst content to change.

Hi

you can edit the file blockcategoriestop.tpl (modules/blockcategoriestop) like this:

<div>
<a href="{$base_dir}" class="v2-blockcategoryhome"> </a>
<ul class="v2-blockcategoriestop">
	<li>
		<a href="http://www.LINK-TO-THE-CMS-PAGE.com/">
			<span>MENU TITLE HERE</span>
		</a>
	</li>

	<li>
		<a href="http://www.LINK-TO-THE-CMS-PAGE.com/">
			<span>MENU TITLE HERE</span>
		</a>
	</li>
	<li>
		<a href="http://www.LINK-TO-THE-CMS-PAGE.com/">
			<span>MENU TITLE HERE</span>
		</a>
	</li>


<ul>
<div class="flatclear"> </div>
</div>

dont know where you've done wrong, but I've copied this code from working site with the alt theme.

 

Maybe you can try to add links by yourself, just keep the structure <ul> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul>

[mobmaster]

I try but still nothing! I can delete whole content of blockcategoriestop.tpl or write any code i want and there is no changing. Always the same. But changings made in blockcategoriestop.php are visible or end up with error. How can I add tohse link in blockcategoriestop.php? This really kills me.

Thenk you Snabe. That simple code do the job. My fault is because i did not turn on force compile. I was tortured for days because I forgot to turn it on.

 

Snabe you have beer from me:) THX

or you can do like this but ti needs some styling:

 

<div style="margin-top:8px">

<a href="{$base_dir}" class="v2-blockcategoryhome"> </a>

<ul class="v2-blockcategoriestop">

 

<li>

<a href="{$blockcategoriestop_category.link}">

<span>{$blockcategoriestop_category.name}</span>

</a>

</li>

 

<ul>

<div class="flatclear"> </div>

<div>

<a href="{$base_dir}" class="v2-blockcategoryhome"> </a>

<ul class="v2-blockcategoriestop">

 

<li><a href="{$link->getPageLink('contact-form.php', true)}" title="{l s='Contact us' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}">{l s='Contact us' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}</a></li>

 

<li><a href="{$link->getPageLink('stores.php')}" title="{l s='Our stores' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}">{l s='Our stores' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}</a></li>

 

 

 

 

<ul>

<div class="flatclear"> </div>

</div>

</div>
