Deep Arora,

It sounds like you are getting excellent help from Leon.

Is there anything I can do to help? Please let me know if there is.

Cheers,

Hi Deep,

Bit confused here, did you try the code in the PDF? It was for the 3 categories at the top of the pages. The code you posted is for the left menu?

Ohh…yeah I tried that code and modified and placed it in for left cats, and it worked perfect 😊

Ok, lemme try it for top cats as well now.

Thanks Shane. Yes Leon is really helpful here. That’s why EE community rocks!!

Leon - Works perfect 😊

Top nab is fixed too.

Now only thing pending is when you open a tutorial, both left and top nav cats lose their references.

Ok so let’s see how to tackle those. Sorry for the time in between my replies sometimes, I have daytime job so I can only browse the forums as night 😊

So what code do you have now on the entry page for the top categories menu and what code for the menu on the left?

Sure, here it is:

For side bar cats:

{if segment_3_category_parent_id == 0}
 {!-- we are on a root category page --}
 {exp:gwcode_categories cat_url_title="{segment_3}" incl_self="no" style="linear"}
  <li><a href="http://{path=docs/category}/{cat_name}">{cat_name}</a></li>
 {/exp:gwcode_categories}
{if:else}
 {!-- we are on a child category page --}
 {exp:gwcode_categories cat_id="{segment_3_category_parent_id}" incl_self="no" style="linear"}
  <li>
 <a href="http://{path=docs/category}/{cat_name}" class="active">{cat_name}</a>
  </li>
 {/exp:gwcode_categories}
{/if}
</ul>

For top cats:

{exp:channel:categories channel="docs" parent_only="yes"}
  <a href="http://{path=docs}" class="active">{category_name}</a>
 {/exp:channel:categories}

Ok, so for the top menu on the entry pages, you could do something like this? (with PHP enabled on output)
Make sure you change the parameters in the exp:channel:entries tag below.

{exp:channel:entries channel="test" entry_id="1" dynamic="off" limit="1"}
 {!-- store main category for this entry in a php variable to be used for later--}
 {categories limit="1"}<?php $entry_main_category = "{category_id}"; ?>{/categories}

 {!-- show top menu --}
 {exp:channel:categories channel="test" parent_only="yes"}
  <a href="#" class="active">{category_name}</a>
 {/exp:channel:categories}
 
 {!-- show entry information such as title --}
 {title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Hello Deep Arora,

Checking in to see where you are in the process?

Would you mind pasting in your code so far? Would love to review it and make suggestions.

Cheers,
