Menu

Trust has three menus: the catalog mega menu, header links and footer links. All of them are set up in Octemplates → Trust OCTemplates - template settings, the “Settings” → “Menu settings” tab.

Mega menu

The mega menu is the main catalog menu in the header. It comes in two kinds, and a store can use both:

• vertical — a drop-down menu behind the “Catalog” button;
• horizontal — a row of items in the header.

General settings

Setting	What it does
Enable MegaMenu	Turns the mega menu on. When off, the standard OpenCart category menu is shown.
Text of the menu open button	The label on the vertical menu button, for example “Catalog”. For each language.
Display “Category list”	Adds store categories to the vertical menu along with your own items.
Number of subcategories to display	How many subcategories to show under each category. Default is 5.
Display categories	As a list or a grid.
Display category menu images	Category images in grid view.
Displaying	Item order: your own items first, then categories (or the other way round), by sort order or alphabetically.
Category image	Category icons next to the names in the menu.
Landing pages	Links to landing pages set in the category editor.

Your own menu items

Besides categories, you can add your own items to the mega menu: a selection of categories, brands, blog sections or a simple link — for example “Sale” or “Delivery”.

1. Add an item

   In the “Menu items” block click “Add new item”.

2. Choose the type and placement

   On the “Data” tab set:

   • Item type — “Selected categories”, “Selected manufacturers”, “Selected blog categories” or “Simple link”;
   • Where to display? — vertical or horizontal menu;
   • which stores and customer groups see the item.

   

3. Set the title

   On the “Localization” tab — the item title and link for each language.

4. Set up the content

   On the “Links” tab choose categories, brands or blog sections — depending on the type. Details below.

   

5. Save

   Save the template settings and check the menu on the storefront.

Item options by type

Type	Options
Selected categories	Categories to show; Main category — if selected, the item links to it; showing subcategories and images, their width and height, limit, list or grid view.
Selected manufacturers	Brands to show; images, width and height; view — list or grid (logo tiles across the full menu width).
Selected blog categories	Blog sections to show.
Simple link	The link from the “Localization” tab and, if needed, nested links — sub-items with a title, URL and sort order.

Every type also has:

• Menu item icon;
• Sort order — the item position in the menu;
• Open in new tab;
• Accent item — in the horizontal menu it is a highlighted accent-colored button (handy for “Sale”), in the vertical menu — an accent-colored link.

Menu banner

Each item can have a banner shown to the right of the subcategories in the drop-down menu. If the banner is off, subcategories take the full width.

• Image — a square from 400×400 px;
• Title, Text, Button text and Link;
• Colors: banner background and text color — match them to the image so the text is easy to read;
• Button: button color and text color on hover. The button is outlined: its color sets the border and text and becomes the background on hover. Without a color, the standard theme button is shown.

Header links

On the “Header” tab add links shown in the header: “Delivery”, “Payment”, “Contacts” and so on. Set the title and URL for each language. To add an information page quickly, start typing its name in the “Links to info page” field — the URL is filled in automatically.

Footer links

On the “Footer” tab:

• add your own links the same way as for the header;
• turn on the standard OpenCart links: contact, returns, sitemap, manufacturers, gift certificates, specials;
• in “Links to selected categories” choose categories for a separate footer column.
