How can I display the Category menu on every pages? 

Hi,

I want to display the category menu on every page so that it links to a different product page. This is because I want to have a homepage with  it's own content, but when a category is clicked products are listed on a different page. I know how to do this with the dotnetnuke store module - but I cannot figure this out with AliCommerce.

Also - am I correct in thinking that this product doesn't integrate with DotNetNuke breadcrumbs?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide...

regards,

James

Having put together a few more pages - it is apparent that I must be missing something. I added the category menu module to my store page and marked it to display on everypage. Then when the user is on the shopping cart, or any other page on the site, the category menu links don't work.

I am either being very thick and just have missed some setting which tells the Category menu where to link - otherwise this doesn't work for me - as the design of the site is centered around the product categories being visible at all times.

Any advice would be greatly received - I working against the clock on this one....

I am also having a hard time displaying other modules on the order history page.... I cant add or modify the layout of this page...it always defaults to the oder module and nothing else.  Furtherore the order history module will not let me change its settings or select a different container to match the rest of the site.

I am running 4.08...

Thanks

Frank,

I cannot find the post where this has been discussed.  Can you please explain again how to display categories on 1 page then upon clicking a category it takes the shopper to the products page and display the products related to that category?

Thanks,

Bacus

Thanks for your contribution but that link does not appear to contain an answer to my question.  I think I have figured out that what I'm trying to achieve cannot be achieved through the category module itself.  I can simulate displaying categories on pages throughout the sie by using an html module with the categories listed that when clicked will take the visitor to the store page.
