Hello, I want to create a sidebar in the Category page (Help Center templates) in order to show to the user all Categories and Sections I have available to him to facilitate the navigation and also highlight the actual Category. The problem is that in the Category page I don't have access to the array of categories, only the actual category and it's sections. Is there any different approach that I can use to achieve the same result?

    Yes, you should use ZD API to achieve that

    Hi Thiago,

    You can try the API to accomplish it. If you want a quick solution, you can try our plugin available here: Multi-level Menu

    Thanks,

    Diziana

    Hi @Vladan, would you mind expanding on how to use the ZD API to achieve this? I am fairly new to coding & was not able to find any tutorials about it. 

    I am using the Copenhagen theme.

    Thanks!

    Hey Ashwini, you need something like this:

    Or you can take a look on one similar example (pulls articles list in current section, which is even easier then to pull all categories).

    You can play around and feel free to back here if additional help needed!
