Topic summary

A user working with Shopify’s Impulse theme v7.3.4 (unpublished version) wants to add images to their third-level “Brands” navigation menu dropdown. They’ve shared screenshots showing the current text-only menu and their desired image-based layout.

Technical Requirements Identified:

  • Create admin settings to specify which menu dropdowns should display images
  • Modify existing code with conditional logic so images apply only to selected dropdowns
  • Add dynamic image tags that fetch images based on admin selections
  • Upload images through the admin interface

A respondent confirmed this is achievable but requires significant customization work across multiple areas of the theme code.

Hello @YH20 ,

Possible to accomplish it but it needs a lot of customization.
First you have to create a setting where the admin can define with which menu dropdown images will work.

Second you need to edit the existing code and make it conditional so the images will apply with the admin selection dropdown only. With this here you have to add an image tag with dynamic images src logic so that images will fetch dynamically.

And lastly upload the images and it will appear as you need.

Thanks
