How to show sub-categories under main categories?

[hardy]

By this I mean how do you show categories like this:

Car
-Car Care
-Car Accessories

Health
-Dental
-Hygiene
-Supports

Etc.

As oppose to my websites current style where you have to click on the main category to see the sub categories: Hardys.uk.com ......:

Car
DIY
Health
Etc.


Thanks for any advice - I have seearched through the actinic guide and on google and have found nothing so any input is appreciated

That's a pretty challenging menu to code with little or no html, css and actinic experience. Have a look on drillpine.biz for a prebuilt menu or contact a designer to do this for you would be my advice.

Do you know anyone that would design this for me? Have you got a rough idea of what something like this would cost?

I had a look at drillpine but the ones they had would not suit my current layout.

Thanks for the advice

It's a relatively simple task once you have the knowledge, so i'd have thought it will fall into minimum charge territory, i'd expect that to be £100-150 for a lot of people, as the time eaten up talking, installing and showing etc. can be more than is first thought. I'd have thought £150 was max charge, have a look on the actinic site for a local designer to you, you might find a bargain. Well worth trawling the forum or the KB too, it may have already been provided.

Probably going to sound double Dutch but ALL you need to do is set up a ChildSectionList inside a TopLevelSection list and the job is a good 'un

see left hand navigation on http://www.dcctrainautomation.co.uk/ which uses this and extra functionality with a click to reveal the sub-sections to avoid eating up to much space

E.g.

<actinic:block type="TopLevelSectionList">
	<a class="actlarge" href="<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20AND%0d%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e" ><actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" /></actinic:block><actinic:block if="%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29%20OR%0d%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29" ><actinic:variable name="SectionURL" /></actinic:block>">
	   <Actinic:Variable Name="SectionName"/>
	</a>
	<actinic:block type="ChildSectionList">
		<br /><a class="actsmall" href="<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20AND%0d%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e" ><actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" /></actinic:block><actinic:block if="%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29%20OR%0d%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29" ><actinic:variable name="SectionURL" /></actinic:block>">
		   - <Actinic:Variable Name="SectionName"/>
		</a>
	</actinic:block>
	<br /><br />
</actinic:block>

Amend the class attributes to suit.
