Magento – Remove category level from top navigation menu (topMenu)

menunavigation

I have a category structure which goes Socks>>Casual>>No-Show, Crew and would like the URL to be socks/casual/no-show.html, for example.

However, I would like the generated top navigation menu ("topMenu") to skip the 2nd level, i.e. "Casual", so that the dropdown menu shows Sock>>No-Show, Crew.

What's the best way to do this?

Thank you!

You can create URL rewrites for all your categories where the 2nd token has to be dropped. Then you can observe page_block_html_topmenu_gethtml_after event and modify the main menu links.

I think the best solution will be override some method of app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Html/Topmenu.php.

A small tutorial how to write override extension you can find here in my answer. The only difference that you do not need override template, you need override model.

Navigation Menu Not Showing After Upgrading from Magento 1.4.1 to 1.9

After a lot of searching I found out that my template missed the reference to top.menu. So I copied catalog.xml from app/design/frontend/default/default/layout to design/frontend/default/mytemplate/layout

      <reference name="top.menu">
        <block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.topnav" template="catalog/navigation/top.phtml"/>
    </reference>
