I am customising the main decorator for ecommerce and have a Header.ftl which includes dropdown menus and I am working on a dropdown menu for categories.
What I have tried so far: For the categories menu I have included ProductCategories.groovy as an action in the main-decorator (as used in the categories in the left panel of the main div) which I believe should provide a hash: “productCategoryID” which I can use in the Header.ftl. Can you please confirm that is correct. >From reading the ftl documentation I think I have to use an ftl >object-wrapper but without an example I do not understand how to code that. I have used <#list productCategoryId?keys as root> which is just a guess but it does produce a very nice menu with dropdown containing fifteen “productCategory” entries that’s “productCategory” 15 times so at least I know something is happening. I would also like to understand what and how I can display from the hash. Current test coding is below: Any pointers/help with this menu would be a very much appreciated learning experience for me.
