Magento

Hi,

i have a horizontal navigation in my store with a few sub Categories which drop down the navigation.  How do i make the first option in the navigation if it has sub Categories be inactive.

Just like the admin navigation.

Hope someone can help. I am lost with this one

Does anyone know.  Please help..

Any Ideas?....................................................

Still no answer. Can it be done?

You will need to customize app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Navigation.php method drawItem()

I made a small modification on method drawItem() to hide navigation points from human eyes.

See the full wiki article/how-to here:

Thanks...........................

I like the method but I’m wondering if this is a feature that will be added to the core such that when creating a subcategory or Category in admin you have a category attribute that says something like “include in navigation menu?” and you can toggle it yes or no.

In the past when I have started changing the core code of my ecommerce application it made it nearly impossible to upgrade and maintain because we didn’t keep track of our source code edits very well. I’d rather wait to see if there is a method to accomplish this that doesn’t change core code or if this in on the roadmap for development?

Anybody else have this need or have a comment on how to accomplish this without altering the core code.
