Displaying products (and not subcategories) in main Menu?

Hi everyone,

Here's a newbie question I googled and also searched the forum but could not find an answer. Hope you can help me.

We don't have a lot of products, so I just want to bypass the subcategories and display the products directly under the main category. We have dropdown menus on the top bar, and when I associate some products directly with a main category, I want them to be listed in the menu, not the subcategories. For example... Assume I have 3 soaps: soap-a, soap-b, soap-c. I just want to have a "Soap" category, which includes these three soaps. When I hover the mouse on the "Soap" on the menu, I would like to see a dropdown menu that lists these soaps. However, since I don't have any subcategories, Soap menu item sits there (looking like a button with no dropdown menu), and you need to click it to reach the products.

Any ideas will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Any luck with this? I also would like to have this feature on the site I'm creating.

You should modify menu for your needs
file to edit catalog/controller/common/header.php
catalo/view/theme/yourtemplate/template/common/header.tpl

Hello guys,

I am also struggling with this. Any input is much appreciated.

Thanks

per alin's post above
in controller/common/header.php, you need to modify the block of code under "//Menu"
it's getting categories cos the code says you need to change that block of code to make it call products instead of categories
