Category with items as drop list

Post by Chanox » Thu Feb 28, 2008 4:04 pm

Hi there

I was wondering if it would be possible to make a kinda drop down list in joomla.

The idea is to have a section called "Cuisine Scene"
and categories like "Italian", "chinese", "Steaks" etc.
In these categories names of restaurants with link to the restaurant page. I want the category to expand and show these items

Example below

Cuisine Scene (Menu Name)
Italian (Category)
Rodrigo's (link to external page which opens in parent)
Pasta Delight (link to external page which opens in parent))
etc (link to external page which opens in parent))
Chinese(Category)
Red Dragon (link to external page which opens in parent))
etc (link to external page which opens in parent))
etc(link to external page which opens in parent)

Ive tried almost everyting and i am running out of options.

Some help would be much appreciated

At this time, there is not a feature that will allow 'subcategories', although it's been in discussion for quite some time.

You can find the discussion here.

There are a few work-arounds that people have shared that may help you.
If you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the problem.
