[Resolved] Adding a link to Blueprint main menu

[vidmarc]

Can anybody help?

[bsmither]

Yes.

[vidmarc]

Which template do I need to modify?

[bsmither]

Look at the templates box.navigation.php and element.navigation_tree.php.

Navigation has the overall series of links and this is the best place to add a hard-coded link.

Navigation_tree is used as many times as necessary to build the drop-downs or fly-outs of sub-categories.

box.navigation.php

<div class="box box-navgation box-categories">
    <div class="wrapper">
        <h3>{$LANG.navigation.title}</h3>
        <div class="content">
            <nav>
                <ul class="clearfix">
                    <li><a href="{$STORE_URL}/index.php" title="{$LANG.navigation.homepage}">{$LANG.navigation.homepage}</a></li>

                    {$NAVIGATION_TREE}
        
                    {if $CTRL_CERTIFICATES && !$CATALOGUE_MODE}
                        <li><a href="{$URL.certificates}" title="{$LANG.navigation.giftcerts}">{$LANG.navigation.giftcerts}</a></li>
                    {/if}
                    
                    {if $CTRL_SALE}
                        <li><a href="{$URL.saleitems}" title="{$LANG.navigation.saleitems}">{$LANG.navigation.saleitems}</a></li>
                    {/if}
                </ul>
            </nav>
        </div><!-- /.content -->
    </div><!-- /.wrapper -->
</div><!-- /.box -->

 

element.navigation_tree.php

 

<li class="{if isset($BRANCH.children)}node{/if}">
	<a href="{$BRANCH.url}" title="{$BRANCH.name}">{$BRANCH.name}</a>
	{if isset($BRANCH.children)}
		<ul>
			<li class="title mega-menu-remove"><a href="{$BRANCH.url}" title="{$BRANCH.name}">{$BRANCH.name}</a></li>
			{$BRANCH.children}
		</ul>
	{/if}
</li>

 

I can't see anything obvious in either of those.

In box.navigation.php, the Main Menu code below is a simplified rendition:

<ul class="clearfix">
  <li><a href="Link_to_HomePage">HomePage</a></li>
  {Links to Categories}
  <li><a href="Link_to_GiftCerts">Gift Certs</a></li>
  <li><a href="Link_to_SaleItems">Sale Items</a></li>
</ul>

Make more of:

  <li><a href="Link_to_Wherever">Wherever</a></li>

for whatever link(s) you need.

Because you are editing a template, you may need to clear the skin cache (admin, Maintenance, Rebuild tab).

Thank you, new menu link works perfectly now. :-)

This thread is about Blueprint, which is NOT a Foundation skin. Look in /public_html/your store/skins/foundation/templates. If you still need help, please start a new thread with your question.
