That part is hardcoded in the template, it is not a module position.

You should disable the slideshow when Virtuemart is active. It takes to many space.
Then the Virtuemart menu is right under the main navigation.

Change some css issues and it will look like a charme.

well multipazz here you have an alternative to do it maybe its not the perfect one but with this you can set the products category module in the mainnav

lets begin.

1 star to set this atributes in your backend products categories controlpanel
Category Display Type=JsCook
JsCook Type=Menu
JsCookMenuStyle=ThemeOffice
JsCookMenuOrientation=Horizontal
position=usercat(this is a position you just have created)

2.- go to the page index.php inside the folder of the jamesolite template and found near the line 130 the following
<div id="ja-mainnav">
<?php $jamenu->genMenu (0); ?>
</div>

and set it this way
<div id="ja-mainnav">
<?php $jamenu->genMenu (0); ?><jdoc:include type="modules" name="usercat"/>
</div>

then look for the the file theme.css inside the folder includes/js/themeoffice/ and look for the following css atributes

.ThemeOfficeMainFolderLeft,.ThemeOfficeMainItemLeft,
.ThemeOfficeMainFolderText,.ThemeOfficeMainItemText,
.ThemeOfficeMainFolderRight,.ThemeOfficeMainItemRight
{
background-color: inherit;
}


and set it like this

.ThemeOfficeMainFolderLeft,.ThemeOfficeMainItemLeft,
.ThemeOfficeMainFolderText,.ThemeOfficeMainItemText,
.ThemeOfficeMainFolderRight,.ThemeOfficeMainItemRight
{
background-color: inherit;
color: #FFFFFF;
}


and finally look for the file template.css and look for the following lines

#ja-mainnavwrap {
background: #333333;
border-top: 1px solid #E6E6E6;
height: 35px;
z-index: 999;
}

#ja-mainnav {
height: 35px;
width: 760px;
float: right;
background: url(../images/dot-dark.gif) repeat-y left;
}

and set it like this

#ja-mainnavwrap {
background: #333333;
border-top: 1px solid #E6E6E6;
height: 70px;
z-index: 999;
}

#ja-mainnav {
height: 70px;
width: 760px;
float: right;
background: url(../images/dot-dark.gif) repeat-y left;
}

with this recipe you will have the the product categories in the mainnav i repeat maybe is not the cleanest or ideal but is a start

It would be better if you call VM in the Main menu, it automaticly shows all categories and sub in the dropdown menu.

The way you subscribe it, you loose your Main menu once you enable the VM categories.
Putting the VM cat’s under the Main menu is a easier solution without changing the core files.

well in this way you don’t loose anything just add a second line to the main menu below and may work as and alternative. the core files of the VM sometines must be edited in order to fit your particular needs, if you to customize your particular instalation, that is a thing that any joomla or virtuemart fan user know, there is no open source that does not need any tweeking in order to have the design you want

Hi,
Been away for a while.
Decided to keep the status quo on the web site as the two options where looking out of place with the design. I guess we should wait for Virtuemart to upgrade or a more intergrated solution.

Thanks Again.

Dominic
