## Custom Navbar Module for CE Phoenix Cart
The **Custom Navbar Module** gives CE Phoenix Cart store owners complete control over which categories and custom links appear in the storefront navigation bar.
Instead of automatically displaying every store category, the module allows you to select only the categories you want customers to see. Additional links can also be added manually, making it easy to include pages such as About Us, Contact Us, Hosting, Latest Addons, Blog, Special Offers or any other internal or external destination.
All settings are managed directly through the standard Phoenix Cart Navbar Modules configuration screen, so no separate administration page or database table is required.

### Manual Link Format
Manual links are entered one per line using the following format:
`Link Text|URL|Sort Order`
For example:
`Contact Us|contact_us.php|40`
To open a link in a new browser tab, add a fourth value:
`BusyBee Commerce|https://www.busybeecommerce.co.uk|50|yes`
### Flexible Link Positioning
The module provides three ways to organise manual links:
* **Before Categories** – manual links appear before the selected category links
* **After Categories** – manual links appear after the selected category links
* **Mixed By Sort Order** – categories and manual links are combined and arranged according to their assigned sort values
### Category Ordering
Selected categories can be given individual sort values using their category IDs:
`3=10, 8=20, 15=30`
Categories without a manually assigned value are automatically given a sensible default order.
### Responsive Storefront Display
On larger screens, the module displays compact navigation links with separators between each item. On mobile devices, links become full-width menu rows with improved spacing and clear dividing lines, making the menu easier to navigate on phones and tablets.
The **Custom Navbar Module** is ideal for Phoenix Cart stores that need a cleaner, more focused and fully configurable storefront navigation menu without modifying core files.
