    Hi Jack, I've added; 'expand' => 'expand' to the schema file, plus added the language variable in the admin. Also went and made the changes to the top_menu.tpl but not seeing the changesin the storefront.

    Im actually not using the Nefeli skin, so I imagine that changes also have to be added in the Admin, to Design> Top Menu editor?

    Do i have to add category items or something? Thanks for posting this tip.

    Cheers,

    Scott.

    (1) In my category setting, the top category is "skin care", and it has 3 sub-categories, "Shop by Collection", "Shop by Skin Condition", and "Shop by Function". Each sub-category has it's own sub-category.
    In "Shop by Collection" sub-category has "Bright Radiance", "Anti-Aging/Wrinkle Care", "Natural Beauty Serums"... sub-categories. After all you add the items into those "Bright Radiance" sub-category.

    (2) In admin' top menu section, you have to add a new item, select expand for Pop-up direction. In "Generate submenu" section, select your "Category".

    Yes, you can use it for left position. But you will not get expand menu look.

    Hello, thanks a lot for this script!

    May you also post a .css example to give some style to it, please?

    Thanks

    Hello, I wonder if you are still checking this post. My client wants a drop down menu, but that it will have subcategories like the side bar. He doesn't want it like your screen shot that has it products under each category. He wants the categories, and then when you hover that category (button) it opens another menu next to it.

    thanks
