Display category in menu prestashop for new theme

To display categories in the menu for a new theme in PrestaShop, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a new theme

If you haven't already, create a new theme in PrestaShop by going to Modules > Themes > Add a new theme. Fill in the required information, such as theme name, description, and author.

Step 2: Create a new menu

In your new theme, go to Modules > Themes > [Your Theme Name] > Menu. Click on the "Add a new menu" button.

Step 3: Configure the menu

In the "Menu" page, you'll see a list of available menu items. Click on the "Add a new menu item" button.

Step 4: Add a category menu item

In the "Add a new menu item" page, select "Category" as the menu item type. Choose the category you want to display in the menu from the dropdown list.

Step 5: Configure the category menu item

In the "Category" menu item settings, you can configure the following options:

• Name: The name of the category that will be displayed in the menu.
• Link: The URL of the category page.
• Parent: The parent category (if you want to create a subcategory).
• Position: The position of the category in the menu (e.g., first, last, etc.).

Step 6: Save the menu item

Click the "Save" button to save the category menu item.

Step 7: Configure the theme's menu

In your theme's config.xml file, add the following code to configure the menu:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <menu>
            <categories>
                <category>
                    <name>Categories</name>
                    <link>categories</link>
                    <position>1</position>
                </category>
            </categories>
        </menu>
    </modules>
</config>

This code adds a menu item called "Categories" with a link to the category page and positions it at the top of the menu.

Step 8: Clear the cache

Finally, clear the cache by going to Modules > Cache > Clear cache to ensure that your changes take effect.

That's it! Your categories should now be displayed in the menu for your new theme in PrestaShop.
