Advanced Top Menu

Presentation

Advanced Top Menu is a module that allows you to create a fully-customisable menu in order to display some or all of the products from your catalog for your visitors. Thanks to its flexibility, you can also insert categories, manufacturers, CMS pages, custom links, images and products and even a search engine.

General Points and Operating Principles

A rich menu is a navigation bar that has 5 types of objects: – tabs, submenus, columns, groups of items and items. Tabs are associated with submenus that contain columns, which themselves contain groups of items, which, in turn, contain items.
Tabs are the first component that your visitors will see. They are always displayed and usually represent the main categories for the site. A content area, which is hidden by default, appears if you move the mouse over a tab. This is the submenu.
This submenu must contain at least one column that spans the full width of the submenu. You can add more columns. They will be distributed evenly over the available width of the submenu. You can use these columns to distribute and organise the many links that you are going to add to the submenu.
You can create two different types of links to organise and differentiate between the different links in the columns – groups of items and items These two types of links are very similar, with groups of items being able to gather together items in clusters, thus reflecting the tree structure of your catalog.
The module supports an unlimited number of tabs, columns, groups and items, allowing you to display and organise the information you want to display, without being restricted in any way.
One of the major advantages of Advanced Top Menu is that you can graphically customise each object in the mega menu. What is more, Advanced Top Menu is responsive design compatible. This means that it can adapt the way it is displayed to the size of the screen that your visitors are using.

The menu objects that are displayed can be linked to the status of your visitors.
And, finally, it can also use the Smarty Cache in PrestaShop in order to maintain the normal load time of the pages.
