I am in the middle of determining if nopCommerce is suitable for our requirements. I am a "nop Newbie" and learning as I go.
I have loaded manufacturers, categories and products. I have installed the quick menu plugin from nop4u with both categories and manufacturers to show on menu. However when I load the home page nearly all links go nowhere. If I view the page source the links to all sub categories all look like this:
<a>Jigsaws</a>
Main parent categories look correct:
Puzzles
I click on "Puzzles" the Puzzles category is loaded. At the top of the page is icons for all the sub categories of Puzzles (I don't want these) and below that are products within the Puzzles category and sub categories of Puzzles. However I am seeing the same problem if I try to navigate to a product details page. It seems to only render links correctly for top level categories
I disabled the quick menu but the problem persists.
Would anyone have any idea what is wrong?

I'm still learning Drupal, but I'm completely stuck at this point. I need to create a template for the child pages based off the navigation link clicked.
This grid is a Bootstrap thumbnail grid serving as a navigation menu. I want to know how to create a template page based off the parent navigation menu item. Each page will have the same format based off this menu.
It's unclear what you're trying to achieve, but as far as I can tell, you might need to start by trying to identify what those pages are and what parts they consist of (views, blocks/regions, nodes etc.) and then theme accordingly. Take a look at a diagram here https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/theming/overview-of-theme-files to get a better idea of how this all works together.
Once you know what you're dealing with, look for customization options. It can be anything from theme settings to views configuration, working with css, blocks, custom page/node templates (see here https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/theming/template-theme-hook-suggestions) etc.
If you need more info - please provide more detail, like links/screenshots of the pages that you need new templates for as well as explanation of how those 'templates' will need to look like
So basically once you choose The book menu item "Topics", you arrive to the topics page with the navigation menu (shown in the screen shot above).
When you choose one of the images in the thumbnail gallery (first screen shot), you are supposed to arrive to the child page for that menu item chosen (sub book page). All the sub book pages (are supposed to have the same format displayed in this basic sketch screen shot displayed below).
So for that, I am required to make a template for these sub book pages.
I just realized too that these sub pages would probably share the same parent of topic, so most likely, I have to create a template based off the action that "topics" = parent page ?

thank you for your patience guys!
Okay, after working with my new partner, we discussed trying to create a view that will have headers:
<h1>**Topic Overview**</h1>
[user content input under title] <br><br>
<h1>**News and Initiatives**</h1>
[user content input under title] <br><br>
<h1>**Resources**</h1>
[displayed depending on tag chosen to display]
We just cant figure out how do we keep these headers constant, but allow the content to change, or be changed for every sub nav item (child page from nav menu above).
One of the pages on my site is setup to display posts from a specific category. When that category is active, the blog menu item also shows as active, displaying two active menu items at the same time. I've tried excluding the category, but that hasn't worked.
It may be a hotlinking issue.

You'll see from this site at http://www.wildpop.ca (Wildpop dot.ca), when you choose "SEO" from the menu, you are directed to what appears to be the "Monthly Packages" page. The SEO link in the menu does not have it's own page. It is a direct link to a section named (seo_direct) that is contained in a different page, but when you look at the menu again - both menu options are highlighted as "Active Page".
Make sure this isn't the issue for you.
I'm new in WordPress and trying to do the following:
I have main menu with some options (Home, File, Edit, View...). I also want to have posts. The posts can belong to different categories that match the menu options. The only last post should be displayed on Home page (Home menu option). Other older posts should be on pages under appropriate menu options.
I've searched the internet but not found the right solution.
Can I do that with WordPress?
I don't know PHP.
I don't get your question properly. As you said you don't know PHP so it will be little difficult but you can make it by custom template or editing your index page of template.
Or if you want to show 1 post(last) at your website without any php, you can go to your Dashboard->Setting->Reading and make "Blog pages show at most" from 10 to 1. But the problem is your website will show like blog. If you are using "Twenty Twelve" let me know i will make it for you.
I am having some problems structuring a Wordpress Website.
Basically this website will have the following pages:
Home
Portfolio
News
Contact
The home will be designed by the index.php, that is no problem. In this page I will show some of the posts that should be in the News and some that should appear in Portfolio.
The pages Portfolio and News should present a list of posts that match this category.
Contact is a normal static page.
My idea was to create a static page for portfolio and for news and to change its theme so I get a list of posts matching this category and handle it. But I found out that this does not work as I thought because pages are not meant to this. For this reason some functions (as the_content) do not work. So I found about Category Templates, which seem exactly what I want.
But now my problem is: my menu is being built automatically and I find it nice. Using the category page template would cause me to need to build it manually, which looks like (for a newbie) a bad smell, once it can be built automatically.
Is the approach with Home->index.php, news and portfolio -> category template and contact -> static page a nice approach?
How would I build the menu in a elegant way with this approach?
Thanks!

I don't think your approach was the best, I would have used page templates to pull the different layout/type of pages and use the front-page.php to create the homepage.
But every dev has his own way, I guess.
I think you can easily solve your problem building the menu with the built-in menu builder of wordpress. You can go in Appearance > Menu if your theme is compatible with that.
Check further documentation here
hope it helps!
cheers
In wordpress you can add static page or categories or any other pages to wordpress menu. For creating menu in wordpress see this links.
creating menu
I'm building a site that has a two level menu created with the admin Menu tool. The menu contains links to both Pages and Category lists. It doesn't link directly to Posts. The problem is that when you drill down into a Category list and click to view a single post in that Category, the menu highlighting gets it wrong.
I've tested on a new install of WP3, set up a simple test site with a few pages and posts in 3 categories. All I've changed in the theme is the style.css to highlight the whole path.

Here's a direct link to view a categorised post here:
http://danwashere.com/wp_dev/2011/07/28/blue-rocks/
Everything is a page, except with the section "Advice Categories" - all those sub items are category lists containing categorised posts - each post is only categorised with a single category. The menu structure is defined entirely in the Menu settings.
On that Blue Rocks page, the menu should be highlighted like this: Advice Categories -> Rocks, but it's highlighting the Sample Page item. And if you rollover the "Advice Categories" menu, you'll see that it is correctly highlighting the "Rocks" menu item.
It seems to me that WP is applying the 'current-post-parent' class to the wrong top menu item, but maybe I'm missing something?
// Edit, rewrite to make it clearer.
It seems as though were both having very similar issues. - Trouble highlighting correct menu parent with wp_nav_menu classes while viewing “single posts”
Im not using categories as links in my menu but I use them to filter content to each page via query_posts...if you examine the output from Wordpress you'll notice its actually placing the current page class onto the incorrect li tag when viewing a single post - Is this happening to you as well?
