Are two category lists possible? -...

Hello there.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to have 2 or more category lists? I have just finished adding all of my items, and I have discovered that in standard resolutions, just one category list is so long, it goes off the bottom of the screen. Ideally, 2 or more category lists would be more appropriate. How can I do this?


Many thanks,
William

I had the same issue with a shop I created. I just configured the sub cats. to be smaller so the drop down didn't extend off the screen. You could also add two categories and split the sub categories across both..:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Have a look at my site:

http://www.lefkaritika.com/

If you enter the shop, and move your mouse over the categories, you will that on regular resolution screens (1024x768), the category list goes off the bottom of the page. It gets even worse when you go into sub-categories.

What I would like is to be able to have 2 buttons in the menu bar at the top, say categories 1 and categories 2. That way, there would be more than enough room on any page. Is this possible?


Thanks.
William.

No it can't be done at this point. Best thing to do is to add some more categories or make your subcategory box's shorter so they don't extend off the page.:)

Hiya willdem,

Did you change your theme? The drop down menu looks fine to me in Firefox 6..0.1, doesn't run off the page anywhere that I can see.

at higher resolutions it's okay, but at 1024x768 it does go off the screen a bit

In SCDP open your theme then go to your Subcategory Navigation Submenu Properties then click on the advanced tab. Now run the Item Padding down to zero.:)
