Hi guys,

We are glad to announce our latest FREE plugin - Nop Categories Header Menu.
With Nop Categories Header Menu you can show your categories in a dropdown menu on your home page or any other page easily and quickly.
In addition to the categories you can also easily add other links to pages in your web site.
For convenience the menu is styled for the Dark Orange theme and is available as a Widget.
Nop Categories Header Menu is a pure CSS menu and can easily be customized to meet the design of your store.

This is a special plugin as its creation was initiated by YOU - the nopCommerce Community!
You can read more about how we decided to make this plugin here - http://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/12233/customised-menu.aspx?p=1

Many thanks to all of you who voted for the plugin!

As usual any feedback is welcome!

Thanks

any demo or screenshot where I can see the working menu ? if no demo then could u please post screenshot of working menu and admin to show how to manage menu ?

any guide to install the menu ? when we install it as widget, it will create a table or anything in the database too ?

after installing, can we upgrade to higher version of nopcommerce easily, or we have to delete the menu widget then upgrade  ?

thanks for sharing this.

Hi guys,

Just to give you an update as we made a subsequent release of the Nop Categories Header Menu for nopCommerce 2.3 two weeks ago.

Fixed an issue with Search engine friendly page name containing blank spaces not being converted to hyphens and resulting to %20 chars in the Url names.

Added ability to control which Top Level categories to be shown in the menu based on their Show on Home page property being set to True. You can add a new setting SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.CategoriesHeaderMenu.ShowHomePageTopLevelCategoriesOnly set to True to enable this functionality. This is very useful when you have too many Top Level categories and want to show only some of them in the menu.

Added a new css class "current" to the li element of the current category.

We will be very happy to see how you have managed to take advantage of the new features of plugin in your nopCommerce sites.

Thanks

Do you have one for V 1.9?

Hi mickk,

There isn't a version of the plugin that supports nopCommerce 1.9. Actually nopCommerce 1.9 does not have a plugin support, so it is not possible to create such a plugin for any version prior of 2.x

Thanks

It is actually multilingual. If you change the language the names of the categories for the specified language will be shown.
