Question

The top navigation template file at /catalogue/navigation/top.phtml contains just this short function:

<?php $_menu = $this->renderCategoriesMenuHtml(0,'level-top') ?>
<?php if($_menu): ?>
<div class="nav-container">
    <ul id="nav">
        <?php echo $_menu ?>   
        </ul>
</div>
<?php endif ?>

I’m trying to find the renderCategoriesMenuHtml function so that I can get in and edit the structure of the $_menu result that is called in top.phtml.

The purpose is that I want to slightly edit the structure the menu. It currently comes out in a ul > li > a > ul > li > a > span in HTML and I want to edit this slightly.

Answer 1

The command

$ grep -i -r 'function renderCategoriesMenuHtml' *

returns

app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Navigation.php

which contains

public function renderCategoriesMenuHtml($level = 0, $outermostItemClass = '', $childrenWrapClass = '')
