Hey,

Am doing some navigation on a site and the Categories Drop Down menu is exactly what I am after. However, I have used the code from the EE documents and changed style=“liner” to style=“nested” and there is no changes. I have parent categories and one level of child categories. In the drop down, then child categories are not indented to show that they come under the parent, then are just on the same level at the parent.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

EE version 2.5.2

<form name="catmenu" action="">
    <select name="selcat">
        <option value="">--Select Category--</option>
        {exp:channel:categories channel="products" style="nested"}
            <b><option value="{path='departments'}">{category_name}</option></b>
        {/exp:channel:categories}
    </select>
</form>

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Steve

Hi Steve,

The output from the nested style is going to by different from what you’re expecting. The output from nesting will look like the example here, so all that styling’s going to end up mixed in with your form select field. You need more control over it than this tag offers. Have you looked at using something like GWcode Categories?

Thanks Kevin. Will look into that.

Sure thing, Steve. Anything else I can do to help?

Don’t think so Kevin. Will have a look and if I have any other issues, I’ll of course post.

😊

Sounds good!
