Re: ecommerce - custom categories menu item in header
Hi Mike,
Take a look at ecommerce/template/catalog/SideDeepCategory.ftl there's a
macro there that has everything you need.
We adapted that to build our menus for us, the wrappers are attached to
the context in the related groovy files.
Hope that helps.
