[Free module] Vertical dropdown categories menu - PrestaShop 1.7 / 1.6

[vekia 8,845]

vertical dropdown categories menu - free module

 

today i've got something special for you, for absolutely free. It's a vertical dropdown categories menu.

 

 

This is plugin that generates block with categories like standard block categories module for PrestaShop. But mine contains vertical dropdown effect. This means that if you will hover mouse over parent category (category that has subcategories) my module will display another submenu with subcategories.

 

 

 

 

 

direct link to download below the images, enjoy for free!

 

 

if you like it, please "like" this post and let me know that you're interested in this free addon

 

 

then i will know that it is worth to upgrade it

Hi Vekia,

 

First of all, thank you for this awesome module!! I think what the other member meant was, that in the vertical menu to show an arrow or something to indicate that category has sub categories(Sub-menus).

 

I have another question lol, ha ha ha, we always ask you, you are the man ha ha ha, How can I change the colour of the vertical menu? I tried editing "blockcategories.css" but did not have any luck.

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Kindest Regards

Hi Vekia,

 

Thank you very much for this awesome module. I have encountered one problem, when you quickview a product the menubar covers half of the quickview. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

You can view it here - http://www.jozibugs.co.za - and select quickview of any product.

 

Thank you in advance

so you want to show it behind the overlay with "add to cart" confirmation, right?

[godlo 5]

it can be used as the dropdown menu on Amazon homepage?

A simple rectangular block that once clicked or hovered it display the category list?

[biaoqiang 0]

it's useful,thank you 

[Euphorica Fedorica 0]

so you want to show it behind the overlay with "add to cart" confirmation, right?

 

First of all thanks for the module Vekia. I think that's what supplementwarehouse meant, since it also doesn't hide under the overlay from the top horizontal menu after just installing it.

 

What worked for me was changing the z-index from 99999 to 1 in blockcategories.css (home/modules/verticalblockcategories):

 

/*VERTICAL MENU*/

#categories_block_left .vertical{

  position:relative;

  width:100%;

  z-index:1;

}

 

Another note to supplementwarehouse: the background color can be changed under '#categories_block_left .vertical a' in the same file.

Euphorica, thanks for your fix. Oddly, it didn't work the first half hour and then next refresh (when I was writing this reply to tell you it doesn't work - boom - it worked )

hello, unfortunately module is for columns only

your request requires customization of the code and design changes to make it work properly in displayNav section (its not a hortizontal menu plugin, just a vertical one)

Vekia, I am very happy with this module.

I need your help regarding editing the contents.

This menu will read/display whatever categories there are.

I have a category named SALES. However, as you would correctly guess I have to manually enter products in that category, as opposed to the PRICE DROP / SPECIALS which is built in PS.

Can I somehow include the PRICE DROPS or SPECIALS in the Vertical menu?

 

Really big thanks in advance for your reply.

[drillsar 1]

I just installed this module and not showing vertical categories. My site http://www.giftboundgifts.com

[drillsar 1]

I noticed in theme position it's under footer Where should this be in? I added it to DisplayLeftColumn and still nothing..

[Michele Cesaretti 1]

Fantastic module.

 

But.. there is a problem with menu responsive.

 

If you have subcategories the menu ins't optimized (when you rollover on a category with subcategories for example, submenu appear always on the right off screen, like desktop do)

 

There is a way to put this under the category to display well?

[Andreea S. 3]

Hi @vekia, I love this! I hated how Layered Navigation displayed cats and subcats, so this is just what I was looking for! I have the same issue as Michele C. above, I am using subcats and they are displayed on the right off screen. Check out this screen shot: http://moodame.com/VERTICALBLOCK.png. 

Plus, I can't seem to get this hooked up in the mobile version, next to Sort (or before or after that). It just sticks at the bottom, not really useful for the customer. Any advice? 

 

Thanks a lot!

[Andreea S. 3]

I figured out how to nicely display the subcats: had to change width and left to 50% in the CSS. @Michele Cesaretti, maybe you find this useful. 

@vekia, i still haven't figured out how to hook this up in the mobile version, the module is at the very bottom of the product list. Hopiing to get your support here. Thanks! 

 

/* INNER UL HIDE */
#categories_block_left .vertical ul ul{
  position:absolute;
  left:0%;
  top:0;
  width:50%;
  visibility:hidden;
  opacity:0;
  transition: transform 0.2s;
  transform: translateX(50px);
}
/* INNER UL SHOW */
#categories_block_left .vertical li:hover > ul{
  left:50%;
  visibility:visible;
  opacity:1;
  transform: translateX(0px);
}
 

[Andreea S. 3]

Ok so now I found this: when I hover over the main menu, it overlaps with the vertical menu and this is displayed: http://moodame.com/SSHOTVERTMENU.png. 

Plus, it looks like I can only select the top level 2 subcategory from the dropdown list, every time I try to select the second or third and so on the dropdown list disappears.

This module is really awesome!

I had to use on a theme (Theme1218) without left sidebar but with the side menu on displayTop position, so I made some small change to make it work.

I'd like to contribute and make this available to other users who could benefit of.

Depending on the system you're working on you could use git or some diff/merge program.

If you're using some IDE (PhpStorm, Netbeans, Eclispe, Visual Studio...) it should have an integrated feature to create and apply patches.

This links could help you out:

Via git (a command line versioning system, cross platform) https://www.devroom.io/2009/10/26/how-to-create-and-apply-a-patch-with-git/

Hi @vekia,
thanks for your module... very good...

Your module has a problem: when you open a product in preview your menu is over the preview.

Another question: I have a three depth tree of categories. How can I remove link from the first two and have only in the last?
