Achaa - If you want to add next type of menu for example on the left side, execute following steps:
1) edit config/lang_pl.php file and change


$aMenuTypes[1] = 'Top menu above logo';
$aMenuTypes[2] = 'Top menu under logo';
$aMenuTypes[3] = 'Categories';
$aMenuTypes[4] = 'Producers';


$aMenuTypes[1] = 'Top menu above logo';
$aMenuTypes[2] = 'Top menu under logo';
$aMenuTypes[3] = 'Categories';
$aMenuTypes[4] = 'Producers';
$aMenuTypes[5] = enter here name for new menu;

2)create new file in templates/ directory, name it menu_5.tpl and copy content of e.g. menu_4.tpl file to the new one,
3)edit templates/themes/default.php file and add code


$sMenu5 = $oPage->throwMenu( 'menu_5.tpl', 5, $iContent, 1 );

4)edit templates/container.tpl and add $sMenu5 variable behind e.g. $sMenu4 variable in this file,
5)log in to administration and add pages to this type of menu.

Thank you :D
That was very helpful.

Can I just add that the default.css file should be altered also.

Many thanks,
A.

Achaa - if you don't make changes in file menu_5.tpl (I mean you don't change id of div so it would have id="menu4") you don't need to alter default.css file.

I think I know the better idea:

1) edit config/lang_en.php and add code



$config['menu3'] = "";
$config['menu4'] = "";

2) change in the same file



$aMenuTypes[3] = 'Categories';
$aMenuTypes[4] = 'Producers';



$aMenuTypes[3] = $config[menu3];
$aMenuTypes[4] = $config[menu4];

3) edit templates/admin/settings.php and paste this code



<tr>
<td>Menu3 name</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="menu3" value="$config[menu3]" size="50" maxlength="100" class="input" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Menu 4 name</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="menu4" value="$config[menu4]" size="50" maxlength="100" class="input" /></td>
</tr>

I paste this code behind



    <table class="tab" id="tabPages">
      <tr>
        <td>$lang['Start_page']</td>
        <td>
          <select name="start_page">
            $sStartPageSelect
          </select>
        </td>
      </tr>

and I have it in configuration in settings / pages.

Yes, but the problem would be with the editor I use, txt, or something else because when I change a simple word I have the same problem for examle:

$aMenuTypes[3] = 'Categories';

$aMenuTypes[3] = 'CategoriAs'; <-

Ok but what if I just wanted to make another page under Categories? I can only make pages under the one page I have inside my Categories section. I believe the above code would add a seperate Categories section. Then I would see it as
Categories
My one page
Categories
My second Page

And that's if I could figure out how to make a page and have the Parent for it be the Categories that is in there?

So for sake of trying to be clear. I need to create a page with Categories as the Parent for it so it shows up on the default template on the left hand side. I had deleted the Shoe Samples and I think perhaps I should have just renamed them, but that would limit me to only 3 Categories anyways.

So is there a way to create a page with Categories as the Parent? It's greyed out in the option for selecting Parent for me.

Well now I see that's I was trying to use the Parent selector when I should have been using the Menu selector. I got the Menu selector back after I changed the Parent to none.

Thanks I got it all solved now.

Can't there be a way just to add an admin section to edit these Menu titles??

Seems the simplest and easiest way to work with them instead of hacking files.

Hi, i have tried adding new Categories but having some problem. Any help would be appreciated. I changed everything according to what merci said above. The problem is, one of my category, which is $aMenuTypes[4](Papers) doesnt appear. I already created a page in that category, but it doesn't appear. Only $aMenuTypes[3] and $aMenuTypes[5](which is newly created) appears.
