Responsive category drop down w/slide out mobile categories

Post by Shopping Cart Admin » Thu Jun 04, 2015 8:25 am

Hello All,

We created a new drop down category navigation for the responsive template which converts over to a slick slide out category menu when viewed on mobile. If you are working with the responsive templates please give these a try and let us know if you have any feedback!

Hello,

Added this to a dev site today and found for their quantity of categories I needed to add the following to the custom.css file.

Code: Select all

#outerPageContainer #header #storeHeader #headerTop .column_1 {
    float: left;
    width: 30%;
}

#outerPageContainer #header #storeHeader #headerTop .column_2 {
    float: right;
    width: 70%;
}
Thanks for your support

Works nicely.

I think the search box will be confusing to shoppers. The assumption is that it will search the catalog, but it only searches within menu choices.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the feedback, I'm guessing that's an easy change. Likely easier than how it's working now. If everyone agrees, we'll make it work like a normal search otherwise, we'll make it an option.

When you start typing it starts filtering the menu items. If you don't find filtered menu item and hit enter it will take you to normal search page with query you entered in search box.

That's good to know. But nobody else is going to know that and there''s no room to tell them. The presumption will be the item doesn't exist in the store.
