Magento

Could Someone please help?  I have tried everything and can not get the top.links to move were i want them.
I would like to move them under the nav bar in the center of the page.

Thank You

you need to move the reference to the top.links in the page.xml in the layout directory of your theme

for the default theme it would be in app/frontend/default/default/layout/page.xml

if you move this block into the content block you can then use the relevant css to move it around and style it.

you should look for:-

and change to:-

hope this helps

Thank you for the help but its not showing! Do i need to move this line of code <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('topLinks') ?> from header.phtml to somewhere:?

Thank you
still trying to get the hang of this

Yes, you need to move it from the header.phtml to all the layout files you use (1column.phtml,2columns-left.phtml,2columns-right.phtml,etc...)

You will need to insert it between the

and

This should ensure it appears on all pages.

Hi!

I want to do almost the same. But instead of moving it to the content part, i want to move it on the categories bar (top.menu).

I did that :

replaced by

and moved

But it doesn’t work ?! I don’t understand why ? (I am a new user!)

Added to that, i don’t really understand this system :
Why

And why there isn’t any <reference> to header ?

I read a lot of documentation, but didn’t find answers to those questions, maybe because of my limited english?

Thank you for your answers

Hi guys,

Here is a very easy way of solving the issue you all seems to be encountering. Not many knows about the getLayout-function, but if you want to use - lets say - the links.phtml-template somewhere, just include it anywhere you want like this:

It should then include the links.phtml-file in your template-file.

Hi,

I’m also trying to do this - move them below the nav roughly in line with the breadcrumb, to the right of the page. I tried changing the page.xml and column.phtml files as above but the links aren’t appearing. Any ideas? I’m afraid I don’t understand the last contribution above enough to use it…

Thanks,
Z

Thanks a lot! this simple code did the trick!

Excellent- worked like a charm!

Got it working, only looking for the top.links.phtml file atm, when i chage it into /page/html/top.links.phtml then nothing changes.

If I want the links at the top of my page, into what file and where would I insert the code ??

Roy Andre, you save my life. Thanks a lot.

i ‘m so happy to finally found this post. i’m try to move the footer links to topMenu, but can not find how to add them to the top.html,

Thanks again, roy.

Yeah, saved me too ... Although, isn’t there a error :<?= ?

Again, Magento should have better documentation, at least for these important or frequently used functions and features ...

Hello,

As the matter of fact the current menu system of Magento is not very convenient. It does not allow you to change the menu structure, add the own links or change the markup.
Consider the Menu Manager Pro. This extension simplifies the creation of menus of different types with different structure significantly.
