Have a Magento 1.7 template with three left side vertical menus, Accordion, CSS and Mega and all menus are respectively named instead of Categories. I can rename CSS menu easily via its phtml file, but the other two seem to be impossible to rename. Their phtml look nothing like the CSS menu and appear to have hash data, my guess from the template developer. I have done a search on my entire site and database and I can't figure out where it is pulling the name from (I have spent an embarrassing amount of time on this). I have asked the developer, but they refuse to answer a “Magento” question. The Accordion menu is also the only menu I can get to work where the products show on the home page and when you click on a category the page displays correctly. If I use CSS menu it will display products on the home page, but when you click on the category it doesn’t appear to be pulling the CSS formatting.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am very new in Magento.Actually we have a client who has purchased a Magento theme and top navigation of theme is displaying some menu links like delivery,Contact Us and these are not added as Categories.May be hard coded in the theme.Can anyone tell from which file these links are appearing so that i can edit them.
Use template path hints to find out where they are.

ok so I have a main horizontal menu that appears on all pages, (company, products, about us) and I want another menu, (vertical accordion on the left side of the page) inside products:
phone
--samsung galaxy s4
--iphone 4
pc
--hp pavilion
--toshiba
and when I clic on any of the sections of the accordion menu the information about each product appears on the right using ajax. I have made the accordion menu as a custom html module and the same with the content that its supposed to appear on the right side (I used modules instead of articles).
Now I'm thinking that its probably better to create another menu for the accordion and that the content should be articles, but I dont know how to make it look like an accordion, and I still need help using ajax to show the content of each product.
the main thing is, I want to use ajax to replace one module for another when I clic on any section of the accordion menu. is there any way to do it, all I could find in google its how to change the main article of the page, for that i have to replace
jdoc:include type="component" and add an event with the url but that replaces everything and I just want to change the right module/article
something like this
I dont know if I explained myself well.
I used shaper helix 2 template
Any help would be appreciated.
Check for some extensions here: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/structure-a-navigation/menu-systems/accordion-menus
An advice... you better forget ajax to load the catalog because as it used on the example the product pages are missed by search engines, as spiders and crawlers doesn't execute javascript. Try to search for that domain... results don't have any product.
Good luck!
I'm trying to set up a dynamic menu in a Magento store (v1.7 community edition with the hellowired theme) and can't figure it out why on earth is not being displayed on my home page.
I don't know if there's a mistake in the call on the .phtml files of the theme or if I'm missing some configuration. I have already configured it as described in the theme's documentation and set several products and I'm still not seeing the menu displayed.
If I hard code the category call, it works fine, but it's just a workaround since I need it to be dynamic.
Turns Out for the theme I was using (The Hellowired one, but it appears to apply to several) it was required to set-up all categories under the Default Category. This question was answered to me by an admin of the theme site.
Make sure that the flag Is Active and Include in Navigation Menu set to "YES" from admin panel under General Information Tab in Catalog->Manage Categories.
I want to create About us, Privacy policy and terms of service page using the joomla's abck-end and i created articles for the same and crate new menu items in the jomsocial menu toolbar for the same. The menu items appears fine in the front end. Everything fine till now.
The problem is when i click on the menu item for article/content page, it moves out of com_community folder and moves to com_content page and it leaves the current design of site. My site navigation for jomsocial disappears. Content appears in default joomla's template not in jomsocial's template.
Any ideas ?? Thanks in advance.....
You need to go back double check everything.
You need to ensure you have the proper menus associated with the proper templates.
Check that joomsocail template is legitimately setup on all pages. And there is nothing over ruling or over riding it
I am porting an existing site to Joomla 1.5. The menus on the existing site use rollover images and inline Javascript. How can I make the menus look the same in Joomla and use the Joomla menus, without rewriting the menu code?
It ended up being rather simple, actually. Joomla renders menus as <UL><LI><A> tags. All I had to do was extract the background from one of the menu images (both in selected and unselected state), set a images as the background in each of the styles in the Joomla CSS, and voila, it almost looks exactly like the old site (minus a slightly different font, since the text is no longer part of the image).
To show a menu item as an image, edit your menu item and select an image under the Parameters (System) heading (This list automatically populates with the images in the images/stories folder).
You will also need to set the module for the menu to display the images you set. Go to Extensions > Modules, then select the module for your menu (for instance, Main Menu). From there, select Other Parameters and then set Show Menu Images and Menu Image Link to Yes.
The rollovers will be a bit trickier. You won't be able to add inline JavaScript, but you might be able to use JavaScript to find your menu and assign rollovers to each item. Joomla ships with MooTools, or you can use jQuery if you're more comfortable wit hit. Use the Menu Tag ID field under Advanced Parameters to give your menu ul element an HTML id.
