ReadyTheme Navigation Set link cattree

[lesliekirk]

I'm trying to create a ReadyTheme Navigation set that behaves the the cattree. Click on a category that has sub-categories and it stays open. It looks none of the ReadyTheme samples behaves this way. It would be good to have this format too.

Re: ReadyTheme Navigation Set link cattree

I figured this out but it's created a whole new set of issues with the displaying of sub-categories on a category page. Two cat trees are causing two sets of sub cat listing. I'll start a new thread for the new problem...

If it's not one thing it's another.

I need to revisit this with a variation - I still need a ReadyTheme Navigation Set that behaves like the cattree with a Parent and Child Navigation Items - when you click on the Parent link, the Child Items display. These links would be to Pages instead of any categories so that may make a difference in how it behaves just like the cat tree. It seems there still isn't code like this available in the ReadyTheme Navigation Sets.

Could you get around this by creating a Category and giving it an Alternate Display Page? For example create a category called About Us and point it to ABUS?

Hmmmm, how would that help me create a new Navigation Set?

Sorry, I guess I missed the point that you were try to create an additional/new nav set... Thought you were just trying to add Pages to the Cattree.

Yes, I have Pages that I want to add to a Navigation Set, but I want to have the ability to use the Child Navigation look & feel of the cat tree instead of the flyout. Lightbulb! I think I know what my issue is.

Well it wasn't what I thought it was. In my newly created menu, the sub-cats stay open. I think it's because there is no dynamic active state like the default category tree has.
