Help for the Left Menu from DefaultClean Theme

Hi, Good Afternoon!

I upgraded my shopping cart from version 3.5 to 3.6 to 3.7 to 3.8 today. In generally speaking, I like it. Thanks to the Nopcommerce developing team.

Question, I saw that both left and right menu disappeared now. Is it possible to gt at least left menu back? I saw some left menu were listed on top now. That is not efficient. I don't like my visitors using their mouse to scroll down too much to see all contents.

Thanks in advance.

Hello-

I'm guessing that the reason is because the new/responsive DefaultClean theme's home page has no left or right columns. To enable a left or right column on your home page, open this code view with Notepad:
/Themes/DefaultClean/Views/Home/Index.cshtml

At the top you will see this:

@{
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_ColumnsOne.cshtml";

You can try changing the layout to be 2 column:

@{
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_ColumnsTwo.cshtml";

Also an option would be to utilize one of the top-menu plugins that expands to display all your categories in the top fold of your site..here's a free one that is pretty slick and fully styleable:

Hi Embryo, thanks a lot. Your way is exactly what I am looking for. Just FYI, in the 3.8 version the file location is: root/Views/Home/Index.cshtml, not in the themes folder.

Thanks again, have a nice weekend!

Oops..you're right on the default path. I forgot that I had created a custom Index.cshtml for my DefaultClean theme (second store in a multi-store site), so it was necessary to copy into the theme folder.

By the way...if a post helps you, it is customary and polite to up-vote the post by clicking the arrow above the currently displayed number to the right of the post.(usually a zero) This gives a Karma point to the person who helped you.

Sorry, i forgot to do that... Just wondering what exactly is karma points? And what are they for?

It just gives acknowledgment that the answer is truly helpful. Future users can trust a post with points more than one with no points. Also, Karma points give the person who helped a higher rating as MVP ;-)
