I am using your webstarter as the basis for new Tea Commerce Project and I have a problem with the Navigation. WOuld it be possible to show three levels of categories.
Also the nav doesn't seem to show other items on the second level down.
I would lik to use the existing nav if at all possible.
Yes, the navigation macro can do both. It has several macro properties that can change the output.
The numberOfLevels property will is set to one in the standard main menu. Set it to whatever number of levels you want to show.
As for the second level and down. Try setting the showOnlyCurrentPath property to 0 and see if that gives you the right result. Otherwise I may need more info on what you want it to do.
yes I have tried the parameters but I suspect its tailored for 2 levels of category and the products. The 3rd category level and product doesn't display.
Further more I need the default position to display 3 levels on all pages.
For example each product page would show:
Stoves : Top Flue : Multifuel and then the products for that directory but also show the main top & 2nd level categories
In this way the customer can see that other categories (and subcategories) exist but only see the products when they click on them.
It's not tailored for anything specific. But do check that ignoreDocumentTypes is empty. It may be set to ifnore Product nodes, so they won't be shown in the menu.
As for your task of showing all categories and not their products, you might need to do some customizing of the nav xslt. That's not standard :)
You would have to tell it to only show products if they are under currentpage.
