Question / Problem: How do I create custom "Shop By" drop down menus (in version 5 of your software)?

Answer / Solution: Note: You should verify that the BODY tag includes the <> symbols containing the below code:

<%=BodyOnLoad%>

If not, you need to add that code back in to match your original configuration of the template.html file.

Available Functions

Copy and paste the desired code at the desired position within your template.html file:

This code will create the Currency Selection drop down:
<div id="DropDown_Currency"></div>

This code will create the Shop By Manufacturer drop down:
<div id="DropDown_SHOPBY_MANUFACTURER "></div>

This code will create the Shop By Price drop down:
<div id="DROPDOWN_SHOPBY_PRICE"></div>

This code will create the Shop By Category drop down:
<div id="DROPDOWN_SHOPBY_CATEGORY" param_category="1" param_defaultvalue="Shop By Category"></div>

Note: The value for param_category represents the Nav Menu that you want to appear in the drop down. So if the value is param_category="1", then all the categories assigned to the 1st Nav Menu will appear in the drop down.

To add a custom Shop By Pricing drop down menu, the instructions are a bit more complicated and are covered in a separate article:
