7.1 change mobile store category to drop down?

Site URL: http://www.bighousecards.com

Trying to find a little code to change the 7.1 store mobile or both view to be a category dropdown vs. a scrolling list to the right or left.  The average person wouldn't know to scroll categories.  Took me a while to figure it out thinking my categories were not being displayed.  

Really appreciate any assistance as this is an annoying issue and I really don't want to change versions just for this. 

Thank you

Ryan

I tested this on another 7.1 site, and have it figured out, I just need the password to test on yours and then I can share.

This is complex. @rwp has this code

@rwp Im having this issue, do you think you can help me out too? It would be greatly appreciated! 

Sorry I missed this.

If you are on 7.1, head to my webpage (link below).

Click the code pen link and the code is "Product Cat to Dropdown"

Follow the directions in my signature to set up the jquery scripts, and you can put the code in the shops page code injection. Let me know if it gives you any issues.

This isn't a turnkey solution usually, it takes some tweaking for each website. Special characters in the categories also need attention.

You will also need to use CSS to style the drop down, and locate it, as well as show/hide it, and the original menu, on desktop/mobile.

rwp,

First off, this is a MUST HAVE. The horizontal Cat scroll is a ux nightmare.

I tried exactly what you laid out. Tested on mobile. Unfortunately, no effect. 

- Added Jquery to global header
- Added your JS script to global header

To be clear, I am supposed to put the Jquery in the header code injection area, correct? And same with your script?

I made sure to add <script>and</script> tags

See attached screenshot to confirm.

Any further guidance would be very much appreciated.

@birdmade whats the link to your page?

Edit, just noticed, this needs to be one line, without the > after script

<script src=.....................................></script>

rwp, still no go unfortunately.

I fixed the <script> tag. Good catch.

I also tried adding your script to site-wide injection, and "Shop" page injection (not at the same time) but neither worked.

Here's the bare-bones staging site:

pswd: interwebs

Would appreciate any other thoughts if you have them.

@birdmade Apparently squarespace uses a few different layouts for the categories.

This one is more complex, with the items and sub items. Head to my codepen and check out "Product Cat to Dropdown Alternate".

This will only work with the parent categories and will ignore the sub items. Drop me an email if you would like me to dig into this deeper.

@rwp This works great for me, big thanks. New to jquery though, how do I use CSS to style it?

Very thankful for any pointers!

You can target it just like any other element.

select.catDrop {

If I remember correctly.

Worked very well, big thanks!

Sorry I think I missed out whatever code was shared here. I have the same theme and issue as the threadstarter. I have more than 6 categories, the last few get hidden with the horizontal scrolling. I have added categories links under menu as a solution but visitors have to click on the hamburger menu icon. Is there a better way to display categories for mobile view?  @rwp @tuanphan if you're able to help please. Thank you.

He removed his signature. Not sure why ☘️

I access his code on jsfiddle, but it also says 404

You can change the mobile product category slider into a centered list of categories by adding some CSS like this.

I've posted the code here:

Could someone please help me change the mobile store category to drop down as well? Happy to share URL and password privately.
