Smart Theme - changing text to buttons

[aloebridge123]

Can you please advise how I change the menu buttons e.g. into buttons instead of just text ?

Hi Linda,

Please could you clarify what you mean by

I change the menu buttons e.g. into buttons instead of just text

If you are talking about the left hand side, then these need to be hardcoded within the "Act_Primary.html" template. As the store sections is a javascript. You could download the advance user guide for v7 and look at the section: Inserting a List of Section Images With JavaScript

If you mean the top navigation button, then simply go the following:

Go to "Advance | Template Manager". Click on "Primary" tab along the top. Now click on "Nav. Item", this should bring up "Act_NavigationItem.html".

Simply find the variable NETQUOTEVAR:NAVTEXT and change it to NETQUOTEVAR:NAVIMAGE. Toward the bottom you will see

<!--not used NETQUOTEVAR:NAVTEXT NETQUOTEVAR:NAVIMAGE-->

Simply change this to

<!--not used NETQUOTEVAR:NAVTEXT NETQUOTEVAR:NAVTEXT-->

Save and exit the template and preview your store pages. You should now see buttons.

If you wish to have buttons on your brochure pages, then simply go back to "Advance | Template Manager". Click on "Brochure", then click on "Nav. Item" again. It will bring up "Act_BrochureNavItem.html". Simply again do the changes as requested along the top.

Default Nav button items

Have changed from text to buttons as advised above. The mouse over works well but once the link has been activated, on the new page, the button activated reverts to text

Hi Bruce

Do you want all the buttons to be text in the front store page? If so this is a brochure page, so you need to edit two templates with the same change. The templates are "Act_BrochureNavItem.html" and "Act_BrochureDisabledNavItem.html". Make the same change as what i had written in a previous posting.

Kind Regards
