Version 1.7 allows you to add some images to the menu of categories, but you will never see it. The following guide will help you to display easily the images on your website's menu.

Multi content on Prestashop menu

For the past couple of years, mega-menus have become a trend in web design, in particular of e-commerce or news websites. If done well, this type of navigation can work extremely good by giving a quick access to information located deep in the website.

P1.7 has an option allows you to add some images to your menu, but if you do not follow this tutorial, you will never see it.

First, add some images to your menu

When you create or edit your Root menus, you will see an option allow you to upload the images. Use it to upload your images:

Then, add code to show the images

Ok, now we open your-website/themes/classic/modules/ps_mainmenu/ps_mainmenu.tpl and find the code around line 27:

<div {if $depth === 0} class="popover sub-menu js-sub-menu collapse"{else} class="collapse"{/if} id="top_sub_menu_{$_expand_id}">                {menu nodes=$node.children depth=$node.depth parent=$node} </div>

We need to detect if there is any images inside this root menu by adding this code :

{if $node.image_urls} {/if}

This is the result for this step :

<div {if $depth === 0} class="popover sub-menu js-sub-menu collapse"{else} class="collapse"{/if} id="top_sub_menu_{$_expand_id}">                {menu nodes=$node.children depth=$node.depth parent=$node}                {if $node.image_urls}                {/if} </div>

Now we will show all images that it has by adding this code

{foreach from=$node.image_urls item=image_url}                        <img src="/{$image_url}" title="" alt="" /> {/foreach}

This is the result :

<div {if $depth === 0} class="popover sub-menu js-sub-menu collapse"{else} class="collapse"{/if} id="top_sub_menu_{$_expand_id}">                {menu nodes=$node.children depth=$node.depth parent=$node}                {if $node.image_urls}                    {foreach from=$node.image_urls item=image_url}                        <img src="/{$image_url}" title="" alt="" />                    {/foreach}                {/if} </div>
