Customize the Classy Template - Add Your Own Links to the Left Navigation Bar

The Classy Theme has a left navigation bar which lists the page links assigned to each page. When you click to go to a product more information page, the gift certificates page, or do a search, the left navigation bar only displays a "home" link and a "back" link. If you would like to change this so that you hard code links into all four of those pages (page, product more information page, gift certificate page and search results page) so that the left navigation is always the same, you can follow the steps outlined below.

1.   Copy the Classy template files. Below are listed the template files that you would need to copy in your store.

2.   Locate the TD section with class="pa_links". Within each of the template files listed above locate the TD section named “pa_links”. The “pa_links” section will look like the following (note, this is within the page template. The other templates will have less in them):

3.   Remove the View Cart section from the code above. You will want to take out the second section of the code above, the section regarding the View Cart image. You will not need this section because you are including links. This section is only for pages without links. The code, after you remove the View Cart section has been removed, will look similar to the following:

4.   Add your own links using the format below. If you would like to remove any of the links listed in the left bar, you can remove the link of code. For this example we are just going to add our own links in addition to the links provided. You will want to add your links above the LOOP LINK section.

Your final code should look similar to:

5.   Copy YOUR copy and name it the EXACT same as the original. Once you have finished making modifications, you can copy your copied template files and give them the exact same name as the originals. If you do this, your new templates will override the original templates. Once your file names override the originals, you can use the Classy theme and it will read your new file and display your new links.
