How to Display Thumbnail Collections in Header Menu?

Topic summary

A user running the Dawn theme wants to add thumbnail images for collections in their header menu dropdown, similar to mega menu implementations on other sites. They’ve shared screenshots of their store and an example reference.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Custom code approach: A developer confirmed this is achievable through custom Liquid code modifications, as Dawn’s default mega menu only supports text-based navigation. The developer offered assistance with implementing the necessary code changes.

  • App-based solution: Another contributor recommended Meteor Mega Menu, a Shopify app specifically designed for adding image-based navigation to mega menus. They suggested checking the app’s demo store (Prism menu) as a reference.

The discussion remains open with the original poster yet to indicate their preferred approach or implementation method.

Hi @Syidrasyiddd ,

Yes it can be done by some custom code in the dawn theme. Currently dawn theme only provide megamenu facility of the text menus but we can add images of the collection by changing some custom liquid code and it will be same as you want. do let me know if you need my help.

Thanks
