Ah, I see.
I was hoping that when you you went down into a subcategory – if there was no more subcategories – it would show the neighbors or continue to show the current level of subcategories.
This Header is pretty awful in it’s current state. While it looks so wonderful in the demo and it looks so useful from a UI/UX standpoint, when you see how you guys have implemented you can’t do with it what you expect you could.
For example, when I go into Shaker Antique White and then into Base Cabinets – If there are no more subcategories, the header should still show the subcategories under Shaker Antique White and just show the Base Cabinets subcategory as highlighted like in your demo – not just go into Base Cabinets and then just display a message that says “No more categories exist”.
Let me tell you, I’ve never seen “No more categories exist” on Amazon. How do you expect people to use that top header?
Do you think customers who run big e-commerce shops that would need a template as robust and awesome as yours only uses Top-Level Categories for their products? It seems that way since that’s how you’ve designed this thing. And the fact that you cannot specify which categories the header displays is also VERY frustrating.
What would have been much more useful for those of us that need to use the header space for category navigation is just let us use HTML Blocks in the header. This would allow us to create our own category-specific headers which would allow us to design our way out of this design hole we find ourselves in.
It’s just really sad. We liked your template. It was awesome. But the main reason we bought it was for the category header navigation. Now that we see how you expect us to use it, we cannot use it in this way…
We have 21 cabinet styles and six subcategories under every cabinet style. It seems like your template should have been perfect fit for this. Oh well.
Can we get a refund?
