The Smartstore Mega Menu is an extensive menu system designed to organize large amounts of options or categories in a way that is easy for the user to grasp and navigate. It usually expands across the entire width of the website and offers multiple levels and columns for links, text, images and even videos.
Configuration of the Mega Menu
The Mega Menu plugin is mainly used within the categories configuration. For this purpose, there is a "Mega Menu" tab in the administration area of categories groups, in which each Mega Menu can be configured individually. Only settings that have global validity are made in the configuration area of the plugin.
