Add "About Us" page to main menu

[vidmarc]

Is there an easy eway of doing this?

[bsmither]

Should be.

Just edit the template that shows the top-level categories by adding a hard link to /contact-us.html.

I think adding pages to the main menu should be an option in the back end, and not require template edits. Anyone else agree?

[bsmither]

FYI: You can add a category (with no products) and give it an elaborate description with images, etc. It won't be the "Contact Us" page, or the Homepage, but it could replicate any other Site Doc.

With a standard javascript trick, content can be appended to the bottom of any block with an ID attribute. So, then it's just a matter of getting the javascript loaded onto the page.

"I think adding pages to the main menu should be an option in the back end."

But where does that stop?

"I think adding anything to any part of the output anywhere should be an option in the back end,"

That might be something for CC7 -- hooks peppering the template files at every other line.

I've set up a new category called "About Us" but it's displaying a "No Products Found" box. Is there a simple way to remove this?

[bsmither]

In admin, Languages, click the edit icon of your language.

From the drop-down selector, choose Category. The list will appear in a few seconds. Blank the phrase for the 'no_products' key.

Save.

It won't let me blank it so I've had to leave a dash in there, which still shows up in a yellow box.

Put a space instead of the dash.

What template would I need to edit to add a new document page called "Digital"?

[bsmither]

Assuming this document page would be no different than any other Site Document (except for the content), in admin, Documents, create a new document.

But if you want to add the link to this page to a menu, then the template would be box.navigation.php.
