Subnavigation

You can find the Subnavigation Appearance (1) field in the additional fields under Catalogues > Categories > [Select category] in the Additional tab.

Use this custom field to specify settings that differ from the theme configuration. You can store global settings in the "Subnavigation Appearance" field under Theme Styling > Header > Main Navigation (Categories) > Basic Settings.

Using an additional field, you can control whether a main category is displayed as a dropdown or flyout. This allows you to freely combine both menu types and optimally adapt the navigation to your content – ​​for maximum flexibility and a better user experience.

As long as you don't make any changes, the global setting from the theme configuration will take effect.

Example:

The "About us" category shows the narrow dropdown menu, while the "Shop" category displays the large flyout menu.

Dropdown

Flyout

When using the flyout menu, you can also display the subcategories as image tiles. This can be configured using the field Display category images in the flyout navigation (2). This additional field also overrides the global setting in the theme configuration.

The category image is used as the display image. If needed, it can be set independently of the category image using the field Flyout navigation category image (3).
