Adding a left navigation.

[Kai]

Hi, i am using the Business Css theme, and i can change button and icon on the top, now i am trying to add a left navigation and dunno where to start.

Now i am trying to change the font size and color on the product description of some of the words. I tried to add html tag <> and it dont work. Anyone can advise me? As i have alots of products.

You can use HTML tags. You just have to surround them with !!< and >!!. For example:

"My !!<<i>Product</i>>!! Name"

gives:

My Product Name

Can I suggest you start with one of the Clean Layouts as some of these will automatically create a left bar with a section navigation in it.

Otherwise, you need to edit Act_Primary.html to add the navigation bar. Use NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP to insert a top-level section list. You also need to ensure you enable top-level sections in 'Design | Options | Sections'.

If i start a new layout, will it overwrite my current layout? And where to find the NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP to insert a top-level section list?

Yes.

And where to find the NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP to insert a top-level section list?

The NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP variable can be inserted into the overall layout templates - normally 'Act_Primary.html'. This is the template that controls the design that goes around the main 'bulk' area of the page.
